Product Description
Following "Vegas Rich" and "Vegas Heat", Fern Michaels brings the fortunes and destinies of the Thornton clan full circle with her spellbinding conclusion to "The Vegas Trilogy". When Fanny Thornton, proud matriarch of the Thornton dynasty, chooses her first husband's illegitimate son to run the family's dazzling Vegas casino, it is a decision she will live to regret--one that turns her children against each other and threatens to destroy the Thorntons once and for all.

 The Vegas series by Fern Michaels September 25, 2008
Snooks (New Orleans)
I started with the Texas series, and enjoyed it tremendously ... which led me on to the Vegas trio and then to Kentucky series... all are done with The Coleman family that we first met in the Texas.
I think it would be a really close call to pick between the Texas & Vegas, as I really got into the characters in both.
When I finally got to Kentucky, I just couldn't develope the same interest I had with the first two, and strange as it may seem, I am a horse person and have been all my life. The most excitement for me, was when they were calling the races ... I had to laugh as a good many of the horses in the derby were named after books from the Sisterhood series, which I absolutely adore .... I'm thinking those books were not even written at the time the author wrote the Kentucky trilogy?
All in all ... I reccomend all three .. Texas Vegas & Kentucky.

You ever listened to one of those audio books that is so bad, yet you have find out how it ends? This is it. Maybe it's because I haven't listened to the other books, but the author gives a great recap that I didn't have to worry about that. My problem was that the characters were totaly unlikeable and there were tons of inconsistantces. First of all, the characters. I didn't like anyone, though Ruby wasn't too bad. Like parts of the story, some of them get a little inconsistant. At first Fanny is a strong-willed woman and then reverts to a pathetic figure when the plot demands it.
I also think Ms. Michaels wasted Celia. In the early parts, Celia seems like a decent woman who was intriuged by the fact her new husband was rich. I know Michaels was trying to make us hate the character from the start, but the way the supposingly "moral" Throntons treated her at the party made my mother and I feel sorry for her instead and made the family look like a bunch of self-rightous snobs. Then poof, she automatically turns into your run-of-the-mill femme fatale whose been schemeing from the start to destroy the family..
I know that I probably have made a lot of the fans mad, but continue to hear me out. That over, now the inconsistantcies. If this family is so rich, how come they act like they're poor? I'm no expert on rich folks, but I think that a family as wealthy as them wouldn't expect their wives to clean and cook and live in poorly-funished apartments. Also, Thronton Chickens is suppose to be a multi-million dollar business then why does it act like Ruby is doing all the work for what seems like it's described as a small farm. And Celia's baby at the end, I think Michaels was hinting that it was Birg's even though he hadn't touched since she they got back from that jungle.
There's some other things I'd mention, but I don't have the room. Let's just say the only reason this book doesn't fail is becasue of the great recap of everything and you still want to find out how it ends for some weird reason.

I read this book without having read the 2 previous books in the series. It was fairly easy catching up on who the characters were. One thing I found annoying is that during conversations, characters would bring up things that other characters had done throughout the book, but there seemed to be no relevence to the conversation. It is almost as if Miss Michaels was trying to remind the reader what had happened previously. It seemed unnecessary to me. I am, however, looking forward to reading Vegas Heat and Vegas Rich.
Great book. Could read it again. August 15, 1998

Vegas Sunrise was really great. Enjoyed the whole series of these Vegas books by Fern Michaels. They just keep getting better. Loved the way she did this one though. Would love another one. Onto Finder's Keepers next.
