Synopsis of Goddess of Vengeance

Lucky Santangelo is back with a vengeance in a novel full of power, passion, revenge, and the raging family dynamics of the Santangelo clan…

Lucky runs a high profile casino and hotel complex, The Keys in Vegas. Lennie, her ex-movie star husband, is still writing and directing successful independent movies, while Max, her stubborn and gorgeous teenage daughter is about to celebrate her 18th birthday, and her son, Bobby, owns a string of hot clubs. Lucky has everything. Family. Love. Life.

And everything is exactly what billionaire businessman Armand Jordan is determined to take from her one way or the other.

Born a Prince in the small but affluent Middle Eastern country of Akramshar, Armand comes to America with his American mother at an early age, and rises to become a real estate business titan. Armand regards women as nothing more than breeding mares or sexual playthings, so when his people inform him that the one property he covets more than anything, The Keys, is not for sale, he is shocked. That a mere woman would dare to turn down his offer to buy The Keys is unthinkable, and Armand vows to force Lucky’s hand whatever it takes. And so the battle for power begins…

Meanwhile Bobby is dealing with shady Russian investors, while his girlfriend – smart and independent Denver Jones, is becoming a Deputy D.A. in the L.A. drug unit.

And Max, Bobby’s seventeen-year-old sister, is busy embarking on a forbidden affair with a sexy young movie star. An affair they have to keep on the down-low lest Lucky finds out.

The word is that “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” and what happens in Goddess of Vengeance will blow your mind!

  1. I am so looking forward to this novel to be released. I have read EVERY book published by Jackie Collins and have never been disappointed. And now, another Lucky Santangelo – how great is that!

    Jackie, keep em coming! I can’t tell you how much pleasure I get when I read your stories.

    Sincerely,

    Roz Carrera

    1. Hi Roz,
      I just got my notice that “Goddess of Vengeance” has shipped from Amazon and I can’t WAIT for it to arrive. I picked up one of Jackie’s books at a thrift store this summer and got HOOKED. As a substitute teacher, I read a lot of young fiction books to help students find literature that excites them so how fun for me to find an author that captivates me!
      I have been stuck in the sub pool seven years and desperately need a full time job to feed my kids and sometimes looking forward to my evening with Lucky, or any of the fantastic characters is all that I have to look forward to.
      God bless Jackie Collins!

  2. Jackie if only you knew how dedicated a fan I am. I have read all 27 books and to be honest I cant wait for Goddess of Vengeance. I hope you write many more books for us to enjoy. What I think is that these last few books are more adventurous and the writing style has slightly changed for the better. When I read poor little bitch girl I couldnt put the book down all night. It was that good.

  3. Jackie,

    Keep up the good work!

  18. OMG!! I can’t wait for Goddess Of Vengeance…. I was flying from TN to Okinowa Japan and someone offered me the book “Chances” to read. I excepted and have been obsessed with Lucky Santangelo since… Jackie Collins is a terrific writer. Once I start reading one of her books I can’t put it down. Jackie you are awsome!!!! Keep the books coming!

  19. OMG! I always await on pins an needles, my “summer read” and Jackie darling, you didn’t let me down, I CANNOT wait!!! (p.s. I started my “obsession” with “Lucky” and have been hooked ever since!) 😉

  20. Hi Jackie

    I have just finished reading Goddess of Vengeance. I took it on holidays with me to the beach, and couldnt put it down – loved it! I have read all of the Lucky novels – they are my favourite novels – I love Lucky Santangelo!! When is the next instalment coming? I always wish they didnt come to an end – hope youre planning the next one already.

  21. I love your books, and your characters. Lucky Santagelo is my favorite, and I cannot wait to read your next book, starring her. Thank you for bringing some imagination back into my life! I love reading your fiction stories and pretending they’re real.
    You’re my favorite author.

  22. I’m a huge fan of Jackie’s and I can’t wait until this book is released. All of her books have been a “Homerun” in my opinion. And now, Lucky’s back, that is fantastic. I can hardly wait to see what Jackie is going to do with Lucky and family. Thank you Jackie, for another hit. You always know how to keep us guessing and on the edge of our seats.

  23. I am a huge fan and have to have all of your books in hardcover. I usually stop whatever i am reading at the time to start your books and can’t put them down. I couldn’t wait til September to get your new book so I had to order from London and read it in 4 days and it was amazing. Thanks so much for your great work and keep it up.

  24. hey jackie .. First of all i wanna say that Im a huge fan of ur books especially the santangelo series I was wondering whats gonna happen to Ace in ur next book goddess of vengenace ? We he and Max will be together?

  25. Ihave read every book you ever wrote and found my favorite is about Lucky, she is amazing and is capable of taking care of herself without
    the help of just a man.

  26. OMG!!! Lucky is my favorite herione! I have loved Jackie’s books FOREVER! I can not wait until this comes out! SO excited!!! Jackie’s the best!!!

  27. I love all of your books Jackie. What I can’t understand is why your fans in your home country of the United States are the last to receive the new book Goddess of Vengence. Why does South Africa have it in July and we have to wait until September. This is so frustarting to many US fans. Please respond!!!

      1. I would like to know when goddess of vengeance will be released
        and would you write a sequel to my fave American Star to see what happens to nick and Lauren

  28. I can’t wait for this book !!! I have all of jackie’s books and Lucky is my Favorite in all of the books I own of jackies!!!!

  29. jackies books reading them is like being there and being part of it.

    I love every single book, when I start reading I cant stop till Im done.

    I look forward to each book and I immediately go out and buy it, shes a brilliant author and I hope her books never end.

  30. I have been reading your books since I was a teenager. I just wait till the day each one is released. You write the only books that have kept me up all night reading. I just cannot put them down. My family would be neglected on the day or two it took me to read them. You are the best.thank you for sharing your stories with me. Lovingly,marie

  31. Hello,

    I have read all your books and just love love love them I can’t wait for this one keep writting and I will keep reading them!!!

  32. Ordered this book on my Ipad Loved it…. already finished it. I just can’t get into any other books I can only read Jackie’s LOVE YOU XOXO

  33. Just finished reading GOV.It was so great! I have read all of Jackie’s books,but the “Lucky ” series is by far my favorite. Lucky Santangelo a woman after my own heart. I see myself as a woman who is quite a lot like Lucky. I too have her guts, her fearlessness, and her zest for life. She was a wild one in her younger days and so was I. Even though she now has grown kids…she still doesn’t take anyone’s crap! She finally found her “soul mate” in Lenny. That is one thing I cannot parallel. I still haven’t given up though because like Lucky I am relentless, and goal oriented, so one day it will happen. Jackie keep on entertaining us…all night and all day.

  34. Just finished GOV and it was great. I love the Lucky series and have been reading Jackie Collins books since I was 13…I am 38 now. I dont want to give any thing about the book away, but must say I hope there is atleast one more Lucky book to pass the tourch to Max. I can’t wait for Max to be filled in on the “family history” and start living by the Santangelo motto. As well as Bobby, there is so much story left to tell with these two and heck Lucky is still young…..anything is possible.

  35. I have read every book published by Jackie Collins and this is just another one added to the library I have. Another great book that couldn’t be put down until completed. I can’t wait for her next one. Keep them coming Ms. Collins.

  36. I just read Goddess of Vengeance…the story of Lucky, her life and family get better and better with every book…this book is just over 500 pages but I could have read 2,000 pages….I hope you continue the story of Lucky, Lennie and their family.I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their story..my subway ride to work goes too quick when I am engrossed with any Lucky book…I hope another one is in the works 🙂

  37. I finished reading this book last night, reading 5 hours straight, and it is amazing! Truly.
    Jackie has such a wonderful way of making you think the story is going one way then taking it a completely different way!
    The last few chapters had me on the edge of my seat! Amazing book! Can’t wait for the next one 🙂

  38. I love the books I have read so far! This book as well as the other have kept me on the edge of my seat! I definitely could not put any of yours books down so far! I would really like to hear about what happens next especially with Max! I want to see where her and Billy end up! Maybe you could do a spin off for her to have her own story?
