I wasn't sure what to expect, but the words, "a blip of Santangelo" are correct. Just when I was getting into who the characters are and where the story could be going, it ended. Period. End of story. I will have to go back and read the other Santangelo stories, but this doesn't count as a story, more like an introduction to the beginning of a story.......bad boys behaving badly, one doesn't like to be told no, concerned about the girl who did say no, the end. When I see "Santangelo" I automatically think Gino and Lucky. It's ingrained from my 1980's mentality. Having loved the first couple of books and then despising the move to Hollywood adventures, I was excited to read this in hopes that it might get back to the mafia/criminal roots of the story. Alas, it does not. It took some digging for me to find this out but this is actually a teaser not for a new book in the Santangelo series but for the book "Married Lovers" which was recently released in paperback and centers around Bobby Santangelo, Lucky's son through the Greek shipping magnet Stanispolos (which I can't spell but if you read the original books you will likely remember her best friends dad...oh! the drama!). The writing, unfortunately, is dry and lackluster and honestly reads more like a newspaper article than a novel. New readers may enjoy this but if you are a fan of the original books I think you may find it a waste of your precious reading time.
Do You like book A Santangelo Story (2010)?
Can't get enough of jackie Collins. With the Santangelo series being my absolute favorites.
