I like saga's. I especially like them when the previous book left you thinking, and then what happened? Which Ms. Michaels did in her previous novel Sins of Omission. The plot thickens with each page turned and the characters grow richer and fuller. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading solely for pleasure.

Fern Michaels stands head and shoulders above any other romance writer. Her delicate descriptions of love and romance sizzle off the pages without vulgarity or obsenity. "Sins of the Flesh" was as enthralling as its predecessor "Sins of Omission" and was one of the few books that ended much too soon. I've spent years hoping for a third installment of this most captivating, refreshing, romantic, well-written saga

I enjoyed Sins of Omission and while reading had to order this second book and wish Fern Michaels had written a third. From two young servicemen to grown men, Reuben and Daniel's friendship never wavers, even though complicated by family members. From powerful lives in Hollywood to France being invaded with characters rescuing people and children, survival seems to be the theme of this novel....whether in the corporate world or private world. A surprising twist as to who Reuben really loves, and a lot of love and intrigue in this second book.

A great find. See my review for Sins of Omission. Read both books over the weekend.

World Wars, Love, Disappointment, drugs, Hollywood in the 20's and 30's.

Enjoy.

I AM READING IT NOW AND IT IS WONDERFUL BOOK A CONTINUING STORY THAT WAS IN FIRST BOOK OF THIS SERIES. VERY ENTERTAINING AND INTERESTING , HARD TO PUT DOWN.
FERN MICHAELS CONTINUES TO TURN OUT TERRIFIC BOOKS. A FRIEND GAVE ME THE FIRST BOOK AND I WAS GLAD TO BE ABLE TO FIND SECOND BOOK AT AMAZON. I HAVE FOUND I AM ABLE TO FIND BOOKS I'M MISSING FROM SERIES HERE. I'M THRILLED WITH THAT.

Great book as a follow up to Sins of Omission. Would love to see a third book continuing the story. I enjoyed this book even more than the first

There were so many little peeves in this novel that it's hard to focus on overalls but I'll start with my favorite--every single woman in this novel had green eyes. I am going to go out on a limb and make a guess that Ms. Michaels eye color is green...talk about projecting..either that or she is for some reason obsessed with this particular eye color. Green eyes are not exactly a predominant color so when everyone and their best friend has green eyes, it's going to be noticeable, and it's annoying and lacks imagination. I realize this is a petty thing, but petty annoyances are what can totally kill a book. The history was ludicrous as well, with just badly, badly imagined scenarios and historically implausible and inaccurate occurences.

SPOILERS FOR THE ENDING BELOW

Then there's the end which is just ludicrous. So there's a manipulative, crazy underage woman that they must all figure out how to deal with and their solution is just to do ....NOTHING. That's right, in 1940's where the husband and the father is the law, with a school history of lying and manipulation and deceit to draw on, all they had to do was find a psychologist willing to say she was suffering from female hysteria and toss her in the clink. If both her father and her husband joined sides, she wouldn't have stood a chance.

I mean talk about a pathetic wishy washy ending. Not to mention, I know the kid wasn't the husbands anyway but he could have taken it from her at any time. Women didn't have a whole crapload of rights back then.

I am not saying that they would have had to actually do it, but you cannot tell me that there were no options to threaten her with rather than just throwing up their hands and going, oh she's won. What a load.

Well this is written well but not the Fern Michael s I am use to reading at all.
So different & not at all like her. (My opinion any way)

how could fern michaels write such a book like this garbage. i'll never buy another book by this author. i now see WHY her books are not five star stories.she actually didn't end the story after that crazy girl got away with all the evil things she did. she made all her caracters stupid. i resent how she took a decent beginning and tore the ending up so badly. this was my first purchase BY her POOR writing AND MY LAST ONE.SHE NEEDS TO CHECK OUT THE GREAT AUTHURS & LEARN SOMING FROM THEM

This book was very boring, I could not get into it. Most of her books I sometimes read in one day, I never finished this one.
