Lady Boss this question feed

The dangerously beautiful Lucky -- star of two of Jackie Collins'

previous smash, international number one bestsellers, Chances

and Lucky -- returns in Lady Boss. And this

time the shockingly sensual, ruthlessly clever Lucky is out to conquer

Hollywood!

In Chances Lucky grew up in a top crime family. In

Lucky, she was married three times. And now, in Lady

Boss, she takes on Hollywood and wins!

Panther Studios is the prize and Lucky wants it... In her quest for power she

meets adversaries and enemies, friends and betrayers. And her relationship with

her husband, charismatic comedian and movie star, Lennie Golden

is put to the test.

Lucky's first challenge is to buy the only movie studio still not controlled by

a powerful conglomerate -- Panther Studios, owned by the retired, irascible, old

Abe Panther. But Abe won't sell his beloved studio to Lucky

until she proves she has the guts to make it in Hollywood. It's his idea that

she disguise herself as a secretary and go in undercover to find out what's

really going on. It's a challenge that also satisfies Lucky's passion

for adventure -- and her desire to take chances...

In the process, Lucky uncovers a world of financial scheming, big-time

betrayal, and bizarre sex.

Panther Studios and Lucky Santangelo... a dangerous mix...

When Lucky makes her final move, assuming the role of Lady Boss

at Panther Studios, she stuns the entire industry and sets off

a series of shock waves, not only threatening her marriage to Lennie, but

bringing down on her head the hatred of crime boss Carlos

Bonnatti -- a hatred that goes back generations, putting in peril her

life, and the lives of everyone close to her!

With Lady Boss, Jackie Collins brings back one of her most

intriguing and endearing characters, Lucky Santangelo. She

also proves once again that she is the unquestioned queen of glamorous fiction.

Nothing comes remotely close to this series.

In LADY BOSS, Lucky has finally found the love of her life in comedian/actor Lennie Golden. Not only are the two different as night and day, but they are both as headstrong as ever causing them to sometimes bump heads, but the love that they have for each other surpasses all of that.
Who would've thought that Lucky would find love again after her beloved Marco? Three marriages later, and she has finally got it right this time around. So like any loving wife, Lucky tries to make her husband happy. When Lennie nags and complains about the goings on in his workplace -- Panther Studios, Lucky decided to eliminate his frustration by buying the studio so that the pair of them can have complete control. But nothing wanted in life comes easily. Before Lucky can take full control of the studio, she has to go undercover, and expose all employees who pretty much aren't "getting the job done". This is where the adventure begins.
Meanwhile Lennie is oblivious to this plan. Lucky has to cover up her whereabouts because she wants to surprise him with this after the plans flow accordingly. This situation brings on strain that the two were not prepared for. Will Lennie appreciate the gift Lucky is working on presenting him with? You'll have to read and find out!

I am not normally one to ready "trashy" novels. Ms. Collins has set up a great list of characters (Bridgett, Charlie Dollar, etc.) in the Lucky Santangelo series. This is perhaps the best of the bunch. Feisty Lucky Santangelo purchases a movie studio from one of the old time owners (kind of a Louis Mayer personna) and becomes the boss of the studio. This causes a lot of friction with her husband Lennie Golden, who feels cheated of his right to win roles on his own merit.

I read this one really fast!
