Ok, I would like to start by saying first reference all the negative reviews that though they are entitled to their opinions some really need to grow up.  As one reviewer stated these books are from the perspective of the characters it's like we are flies on the wall in their private interludes.  The people that complain about the sex in the books what exactly do you think happens when two passionate individuals are married or in love.  I enjoy the various takes on how their passion grew for one another and taking from another reviewer sexual escapades, and premarital sex has occurred for generations it was just not widely discussed in respectively circles.
