Book Description
Jackie Collins, international bestselling author, returns with another fast-paced and unforgettable tale of dangerous passion and suspense, both prequel and sequel to her New York Times bestseller Lethal Seduction. At the center of this thrilling and powerfully erotic story is Madison Castelli, the beautiful, talented and street-smart journalist first introduced in the L.A. Connections series and Lethal Seduction. Distraught after finding out her father has been keeping secrets from her (and is possibly involved with the mob), Madison flies from New York to L.A. She visits her best friend, Natalie De Barge, a gorgeous black radio personality, but within hours they find themselves caught in a restaurant hold-up, where they are trapped in a life-or-death situation. Meanwhile, Michael Castelli, Madison's outrageously handsome father, has been accused of two murders and flees to Las Vegas to be with Dani, the ex-showgirl mother of his other two children: Vincent, a Las Vegas hotel and casino owner, whose pretty wife is busy chasing hot young movie star Andy Dale, and Sofia, a wild eighteen-year-old currently running around Europe getting into dangerous situations with older men. Michael is determined to find the people who set him up and exact his revenge. And, as Madison knows, what Michael Castelli wants, Michael Castelli gets. Deadly Embrace is full of surprises, excitement, passion and intrigue, a wickedly entertaining read, brimming with the memorably raunchy characters and glamorous settings that readers have come to expect from Jackie Collins. This new novel -- her most brilliant and suspenseful yet -- shows the mistress of sexy fiction at the height of her considerable powers.

 Entertaining and tart read April 22, 2008
I listened to the audio version of this book. The reader spoke clearly and the story wraps up your mind in entertainment. While a part of a series, I heard this book only and it stood alone. The author weaves Michael and Dani's lives and love affair in a time-shifting novel filled with crime, sex, and secrets. You care about the characters and find their colorful lives delicious to listen too. Once you start listening, you'll want to hear the story all the way through.

Classic Collins! August 30, 2006

This book reminded me of some of Jackie Collins earlier works....and because I had not read one of her novels in a long time, I was pleased to see that she has a lot of talent and weaves a good tale.
In Deadly Embraces, Collins tells the love story of Michael Castelli (a part time mobster, turned multi-billionare playboy) and Dani Castle (ex-Vegas Showgirl). Their romance, which spanned over 30 years is reviewed and we see their heartaches, relationships with other people, marriages to other people, birth of their children and various other life experiences.
The novel begins with Michael's beloved daughter, Madison taken hostage at a restaurant, while Michael's past comes to haunt him. Everything is not what it seems and we soon learn that revenge or retribution is a dish best served cold.
The best so far July 24, 2006

So far I have completed about 7 of Jackie Collin's novels and this one was by far the most entertaining. I love how she mingles, sex, hate, murder, etc. It is captivating -- I did not want to put this book down and the end did not disappoint. A must read.
 Life & Death In the Fast Lane. October 23, 2005
Jackie Collins' provacative and controversial novels are legend. She dedicates this one to: "all those who lost their lives in the American tragedies on September 11, 2001, and to the incredible bravery and tenacity of the firemen, policemen, and emergency workers who toiled far and above the call of duty. New York, Washington, and in the skies. Heroes and heroines every one."
It's in the genes, like father, like daughter -- raunchy characters from the mob, murderers, strip club owners, adultresses, and corrupt casino employees in Las Vegas. From the east coast to the west coast, they can't outrun their inner and actual demons. Persuing passion and fulfillment wherever they find themselves in sleasy clubs or glamorous settings, mainly they're out for revenge, money, and power. Two deaths in the family, who will be next?
With titles like THE BITCH, THE STUD, and THE LOVE KILLERS, this is both prequel and sequel to LETHAL SEDUCTION. She is a busy writer with a fanciful and vivid imagination.
