I loved this entire series. Strong female from Mafia family turned legitimate. Kind of historical fiction. This story has multiple story lines that are attached to the different characters. Collins jumps from one to the other, and sometimes very quickly. It keeps you on your toes. This book follows Lucky as she moves from being a partner with her father to becoming an independent hotel builder/owner on her own. She breaks away from Gino when he marries a gold digger socialite and marries an older man. He's very rich - kind of a take on Onassis, and with his money she builds a hotel of her own. She also has a child and gets close with her father again after he realizes he married a frigid woman who was actually gay and he should have listened to his daughter. She also falls in love with a comedienne but abandons the affair because they are both married - although unhappily.

Note: The book's cover is worn but in tact. I reinforced it with a piece of tape on the bottom of the spine.
