Drop Dead Beautiful

A Novel

De: Jackie Collins

Narrado por: Jonathan Davis

The bestselling author of Lovers & Players returns with Drop Dead Beautiful her 25th fabulous novel and her most beloved character, Lucky Santangelo. Get ready for the scandalously scintillating read only Jackie Collins can deliver!

Like mother, like daughter. No truer words for Lucky Santangelo's sixteen-year-old Max, who goes looking for trouble when she hooks up with some guy she met on the Internet. Soon the beautiful, willful Max finds herself in deeper waters than she can imagine as she becomes a pawn in a greater scheme that leads back to Lucky and Billy Melina, the studly movie-star boyfriend of Lucky's best friend, superstar Venus.

If Max's troubles weren't enough, Lucky has her multi-billion-dollar Las Vegas hotel complex to contend with . . . along with Anthony Bonar, the illegitimate grandson of her one-time Godfather and lethal enemy, Enzio Bonnati. So begins a non-stop thrill ride as Lucky builds her dream resort-and gambles with all she holds dear. Max, too, is following her dreams, and as her high-flying triumphs prove, she's more than just a little Lucky.

Must Love Author

What made the experience of listening to Drop Dead Beautiful the most enjoyable?

I purchased due to reader Jonathan Davis as he read Sandra Browns Mean Streak, Fab!
Must use new 1.25x speed to update this novel.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

I am not a fan of this author, but Mr. Davis narrates, so I gave it a try. This series, or at least this book reads like a long soap opera. We done for that type of story.

Have you listened to any of Jonathan Davis’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I am a fan of Mr. Davis, who unfortunately doesn't do much romance/suspense. His reviews for Sandra Brown were so high. He does Sci Fi and some suspense.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Author sensationalized bad behavior in a keystone cops storyline. Very light reading, but can entertain you if you love soaps.

I love the Lucky chronicles

great story, Keeps u interested all the way through. I read these yrs ago, and loved hearing it again

Love it

I loved the book; sex, celebrities, money and intrigues. Drop Dead Beautiful is great listing that allows you to relax and just enjoy. The narrator was excellent and really made the story perfect.

Jackie Collins enthusiast

I've read/heard almost all of the Luck series and Drop Dead Beautiful was by far my favorite!

Ok Book

One of the many Lucky Santangelo books, but the first I've read. It was long (15 hours plus) but was on sale and I had put it on haitus for awhile. Now, it's back. I could recognize the serialness of the book because it referred to previous events in Lucky's life. It seemed that every few minutes someone was jumping in the sack with someone else. Is that sexy? The book is also about the movie business, something I'm not particularly enamored with. So, maybe that's why it didn't click very well. The book seemed slow at first, but then, after all the characters were introduced and had sex at least once, it moved on. The epilogue tied it all up after an exciting conclusion (aren't they all?) Doubt if I'll read any more Collins--not my style.
