Continued Vegas Heat

Second book is fast paced and as interesting as the first. This book brought me to tears multiple times as I felt part of the Thornton clan. Fern Michaels knows how to weave a story as if was your personal story.

Loved this family saga. Fanny Thornton married Sallie Coleman’s son, Ash, who is in the gambling business in Las Vegas. She is very unhappy and divorces him to marry his brother Simon. They have 4 children together, Sunny, twins, Birch and Sage, and Billie. Fanny doesn’t see her children for 3 years, a new life with Simon. Sunny has a child, Jake, who Fanny hasn’t even met and she is pregnant with her second. The marriage with Simon is bad, he is very controlling and refuses to let Fanny have anything to do with her 1st family. She can’t take it anymore and leaves him. Ash is dying and Fanny takes over Babylon, the casino. Simon does some really bad things to sabotage Fanny and her life. Another man, Marcus Reed, a mysterious business man who promises her passion she has been denied for too long, becomes Fanny’s friend ( Spoiler) and they fall in love and are together in the end.

Better than the first but still not great, like the first it jumps from different characters and families and was almost as confusing as the first. seems to be getting somewhere though

Fanny Thornton is living her life as she thinks Sallie Coleman Thornton would have. Any time she faces a crisis or has to make a decision she asks, "What would Sallie do?" It's only when Fanny is faced with some life and death decisions that she realizes, with the help of her friends Bess and Billie who have always been honest with her, that she is not living her life by walking in Sallie's shoes. Sadly she is making some poor choices because of the path she has chosen for herself.

Lots of twists and turns in this second book of the Vegas series. Several of the characters show they have a second more negative side.

Didn't think I would like this book, mainly because it was more of a romance than a mystery, and secondly because it was in the middle of a series, I haven't read. It was okay from a standalone point of view if all you were in it for was the angst of the protagonist, her family, and friends, but if you were hoping for a fuller explanation of how things came about in the storylines you might want to read the other books in the series. It was good enough that I could see myself reading it again in its place if I had some of the other books in the series, but I don't think I will be looking for them soon or even possibly at all. Much better books to read out there. Sorry.
