Summary: She's no Tom Clancy
Review: I really enjoyed Cherry Adair's first effort Kiss and Tell, mostly because of the flirty and genuine interplay of Jake and Marnie. I liked that Marnie knew what she wanted and was willing to gently seduce the loner hero with her saucy sense of humor and loyal caring. Even when the cloak-and-dagger stuff stretched credulity, it was the likability of the two main characters that had you rooting for them, and Adair showed a wonderful flair for writing engaging teasing byplay. Unfortunately, this doesn't translate so well into her second effort. Kyle and Delanie, the hero and heroine of Hide and Seek, are so hostile to each other for the first half of the book that you don't see what their attraction is, to each other or to the reader. So what that they had amazing sex 4 years before in what amounted to an anonymous one night stand? They didn't seem to learn anything about each other enough to like, and as the whole first half of the book they both impersonate bad guys, you wonder at their taste. Furthermore, the whole drug kingpin adventure backdrop tends to overwhelm in this one, to the point where I just kept thinking Delanie was too dumb and naive to deserve to live. The extreme contrast between the goodies and the baddies is laughable -- Delanie is a kindergarten teacher, practically virgin, who takes on the burden of caring for her whole entire extended family, willing to risk certain death to save her sister (she woulda made a good nun); Kyle is such a genius that he skipped 8 years of school so that he could attend keggers in med school (he would have been, what? 14); and the villain is so evil, he is the richest drug overlord/terrorist/arms dealer/random murderer in the world with an incest thing for his mom and he's -- gasp! -- gay, as well. I mean, come on! Even Delanie's sister coming out alive at the end seemed a little ridiculous. I'm willing to suspend disbelief, but honestly, it was all too groaningly awful. Now Kiss and Tell had some of these problems too, but because the romance was center stage, and Jake and Marnie so engaging, all the shootin' and fightin' were less of an issue. Here, unfortunately, Kyle and Delanie aren't very likable and there's no sense of them knowing enough about each other to build any sort of long-lasting relationship. It seems like the only attraction is sex, and that gets pretty boring after a while. Despite this criticism, Cherry Adair has talent and when she focuses on the romantic interplay between the two main characters, she shines. So even though this one's a miss, I will still look forward to seeing her coming efforts.

Summary: Bioterrorism in romantic suspense
Review: Here we meet Dr. Kyle Wright - the brother of Marnie Wright/Jake Dolan from "Kiss and Tell". Kyle is posing as a friend of the drug king Ramon Montero to help him to grow the small pox virus to sell to terrorists worldwide as a bioterrorist weapon. But really he works undercover for T-FLAC, an antiterrorist group. And to think this book was released about the same time as the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack in the US and the bioterrorism scares that followed it. Its so close to reality that its scary! Who does he find there - Delanie Eastman, his former lover who is posing as a bimbo girlfriend of Montero. But really she is there to search for her sister Lauren last seen with Montero before she disappeared. Sex sizzles and tension mounts in this exciting romantic suspense novel. Cherry Adair writes a great story.

Summary: Why does Kyle become a manipulative idiot at the end?
Review: I'm a big Cherry Adair fan, loved the first one and couldn't wait for the others. This book was very enjoyable until the last few chapters. Apparently Kyle and Delanie met four years before the action in this book takes place, and he relieved her of her virginity without bothering to use protection (or at least to ascertain that the incident did not have consequences). He had to take off on a long mission, so it seems he had no intention of starting anything with Delanie, who became pregnant as a result of their first encounter, and then miscarried. Not unnaturally, this was pretty traumatic for her. So what does Kyle do at the end of this book? He makes Delanie come after HIM, because she needs to prove to him how much she really cares. Any man who just assumes that it's OK for him to walk away from a one-nighter, but the woman has other obiligations, is a 24-carat jerk. AND he NEVER apologizes to her for having gone through the miscarriage by herself! It's also unclear whether or not he's been with other women since, but I would suspect that he has. Double-standards are standard in romance fiction, but this one is over the top. She gives him her virginity, loses his baby, has slept with no one else in FOUR years, AND she's supposed to come to South America to get him at the end? When the hero proves himself to be such a putz, it kind of throws off the whole happy ending thing.

Summary: Very Erotic - Lots of Action -- Recommended reading!!
Review: This book is super HOT and very fast paced romantic action adventure. This is the 2nd book from Ms. Cherry Adair that I have read. This is a spinoff from the "Kiss and Tell" novel. Kyle Wright has been working undercover for 4 years for T-FLAC to help stop a terrorist/drug lord. Delanie Eastman, a kindergarten teacher, has gone "undercover" herself in hopes of finding her missing sister, Lauren. Kyle and Delanie have a history - a steamy one-night stand 4 years ago (before he was shipped off to start this current undercover job). Fate brings them back together under very tense and hostile circumstances. Their love and lust for each other is rekindled. Jake the Tin-Man resurfaces in this book (the character from Kiss and Tell). Plus its obvious the next book/series will cover Kyle's boss, Darius and Delanie's sister, Lauren. The book is very intense, very steamy and very good. I read the book in 24 hours. Its a keeper to be re-read again and again.

Summary: Steamy!
Review: Another great read by Cherry Adair. This book is the second of a growing series. "Kiss and tell' wa the first and there is a third one 'in too deep' which is soon to be published. The story is about Delanie, a responsible kinder garten teacher who is searching for her missing sister in a remote mountain in south America. Her sister was last seen in the company of a drug lord- Romero and Delanie's plan was to act the bimbo, and go to where Romero lived and search for her sister. There Delanie meets Kyle Wright with whom she had a one night stand 4 years before. Both are shocked to find each other in that place. Kyle is in the middle of a secret mission and he is not at all pleased ot find Delanie involved in it. HE knows that Romero is a sadistic, and viloent man and he is worried for what might happen to Delanie if Romero gets to know her real reasons for being with him. However Delanie is too set on finding her sister and saving her to even think of leaving. Both Kyle and Delanie will have to fight and struggle for their lives in this incredibly fast-paced book and fight their attraction to each other. This book is not a gentle romance and certainly not for the weak hearted - but if you want action ,passion, a romance that never falls into a boring spot then this is the book for you. I never wanted it to end. Its like watching a movie no...its much better! YEs maybe the story line is a little far fetched but thats the beauty of books - they take you to an enjoyable ride and make you dream. Ms Adiar makes it sound as if everything can become possible and you will not find it far fetched as you read it.

Summary: Packed with fast-paced adventure and steaming romance
Review: Cherry Adair's Hide And Seek is packed with fast-paced adventure and steaming romance as it tells of the spoiled girlfriend of an international crime lord who braves a remote South American locale in search of a missing sister. Romance interrupts her mission and adds both danger and attraction to her quest.

Summary: Interesting.
Review: I read the first one in this series called Kiss and Tell, could not sympathize with Marnie, and Jake for some reason I had trouble sympathizing with him as well. Kyle and Delainie, I could enjoy and let the story take me to the jungle. She was acting in the best interest for her sister and family, Kyle had always loved her and when they met again sparks flew. Also enjoyed the plot and how it took Kyle and Delainie to new heights of love and trust. Enjoyed the sex scenes as well. I'm so glad that in a way she dumped her family to be with Kyle and let him take care of her for a change. An all around exciting read. Is the next one good as well.

Summary: All the Wright Moves!
Review: This is the second book containing one of the Wright siblings and it's just as steamy and sexy as the first (Kiss and Tell-Marnie Wright). Kyle and Delanie's chemistry is sizzling from beginning to end. There's plenty of adventure and romance in this book. Cherry Adair has a flair for writing about some of the most exciting and sexiest men I've ever read. This is just the second book I've read on the Wrights and I'm looking forward to all of their books!

Summary: Dangerously Wright
Review: Adventure story featuring another of the Wright brothers (stands alone from the others of the series, but I think reader benefits from knowing of his brothers and sister). This time Kyle, the intelligent doctor turned spy, is about to see the culmination of 4 years work. His 'boss', international crime lord Montero, is about to go down. Montero has had Kyle working to manufacture the smallpox virus, which Montero plans to sell to the highest bidder. But Kyle isn't the one doing the manufacturing by chance. Co-incidentally, Delanie Eastman's sister has been kidnapped by Montero - or so Delanie (rightfully - although it's for his mother's project) believes. Even more co-incidentally, Delanie and Kyle had a brief but brutal fling directly before Kyle began working for Montero. Neither knows the other's agenda now that they meet again. Against this background of distrust and danger, each must try to achieve their own objective and attempt to put aside the strong attraction they have for the other. Oh yes, and get out of the compound alive. High action and drama abound here in the very nature of the rather fantastical plot. That Kyle is on one side super intelligent, and the other a dangerous mercenary type (in image terms - he's one of the good guys) makes for a very attractive if highly-unlikely-in-real-life hero. Hey, the plot doesn't shout 'real' to me either. And that's really not the point. Delanie is very likeable, and both characters have a determination to do their best for their family (Delanie) and country (Kyle). As the attraction between them leaps high once again, the erotic aspects of the story come to play in a suitably highly charged atmosphere. Phew! Quite a story.
