Rating:  Summary: Fast, fun, hot..... not quite believable Review: 'Steamy' I think is the best description for this book..... both the jungle AND the sex! lol Cherry Adair certainly knows how to keep the pages hot. 'Action-packed' is another good description. This one, like Kiss and Tell, never stops moving. Unfortunately, 'far fetched' might fit too. Delanie's reason for being in the jungle, how she got there, and the part she was playing didn't sit well with me at all. A kindergarten teacher??? Nah! Supposedly she was only 'playing' a bimbo.... some of her actions convinced me that she really was! I just have a problem with regular everyday women walking into what they know is a life threatening situation & making stupid decisions..... Delanie did this often. I like a little common sense & brain usage in my heroines. Now Kyle was a great action hero. His reasons for being there & the way he came to be were believable and he played his role quite well. The way CA descibed him was just awesome.... Now I did have a small problem with the fact that he couldn't keep his pants zipped at a couple a really important times... a person would think that a man in his position would have a little more self-control that that.... but oh well, this is fiction read for fun, right?! All in all though, I enjoyed reading this one. It was an original storyline (for a romance novel anyway), the hero was to die for, and it never let me get bored (which is very important to me). If you liked CA's 'Kiss and Tell', I'd think you'll probably like this one also
Rating:  Summary: Don't bother to look for it Review: These characters are just too inconsistent and downright crass for my liking. They have all of the depth of a shallow pool and are completely unbelievable. We are supposed to take as gospel the demure ballet dancing school teacher turning croupier and femme fatale, sun bathing topless in the middle of a jungle with a dozen body guards and just happening to meet the guy she had a three-night stand with as she, a virgin, picked him up in a bar and locked herself in her hotel room with him for that long. Add to that fact that she would not be glad to see him since he is such a jerk, and you have all the makings of a really gross novel in which he treats her like an object on a continual basis. The ending is so ridiculous as to not even be credited as she decides she is going to fight the villain and the supposed hero just allows Delaine to be carved up with a knife. Give us a break. Entertainment is one thing, ... stupidity with no basis in reality and not the least bit of sensuality or romance is quite another.
Rating:  Summary: Minority Report Review: The jungle was hot, the hero was hot, the heroine was hot, the sex was hot, the premise was not. I realize romance is fiction but must be a bit pausible. If our hero, Kyle, can stay away from a one weekend stand for 4 years why can't he, with numerous lives on the line, keep his zipper up for 5 days? Delanie was suppose to be the brains of her family, a scary thought. Why did she do everything possible to foil a mission, risking a lot of lives to do absolutely nothing of value? She hated playing the bimbo yet she did so without any prompting. I bought this book right after reading Kiss and Tell. What a disappointment, whereas in K&T the hero and heroine are both competent in H&S this is not the case. I'm still looking forward to ST John's book but I hope his heroine shows more common sense and likeability.
Rating:  Summary: Doable Review: This title represents my introduction to the powerful writing of Cherry Adair, and I have not been disappointed. Ms. Adair obviously worked very hard on this title--the story is tight, the characters have human failings and their sexual chemistry translates effectively. I had a little difficulty getting a bead on Kyle; I didn't know him as well as I would have liked to. Beyond that, this book is worth the money. You'll read it over and over.
Rating:  Summary: useless chick and out of place sex... Review: I loved Kiss and Tell so much, I ran to the bookstore to get the second book in the series, Hide and Seek. Like in the first book, this one features a very likeable and extremely sexy male character, Dr. Kyle Wright. But the heroine is nothing but an annoying bimbo, who simply gets in the way and messes up the anti-bioterrorism mission. Being a female reader, I was hoping the Delanie character would pick up somehow, develop brains and show some common sense. She never did! Her only true asset was a great body and incredible, steamy sex. This book could've been written by any chauvinistic macho author out there. And speaking of sex.... c'mon! Kyle Wright is a highly trained anti terrorist agent, about to complete a mission that has taken 4 years of his life. Do we really want to believe he spends most of his time drooling over Delanie, rolling around and making love to her every three hours in the middle of the jungle, while being chased by the bad guys? Uh-uh... I don't want to think our US special forces boys would act like that. At least I hope not!
Rating:  Summary: "Great Writer and Great Book" Review: I thought "Hide and Seek" by Cherry Adair was a great story. I loved the characters and I thought the plot was both exciting and hot!
Rating:  Summary: SEEK this One and ENJOY the Read! Review: Book #2 in Adair's series about the Wright family, this one is even better than the 1st book (Kiss and Tell)! Take Kyle Wright, a doctor specializing in infectious diseases and put him undercover for an anti-terrorist government organization. Take Delanie, a Kindergarten teacher (who had a 1-night-stand with the "Doc" a while ago) and have her go undercover as the bad guy's girlfriend in her own private search for her sister. AND have the two meet pool-side with her nearly nude... Yes! The Sparks are sure to fly! This one sizzles with intrigue, action, and romance. A truly enjoyable page-turner. Like Ms. Brockman and her SEALS, Ms. Adair has me hooked and ready for IN TO DEEP! (Book #3)
Rating:  Summary: Hot Alpha Heroes & Action Packed Story lines Review: For those of you who has never read the 3 full length novels by Cherry Adair (Kiss & Tell, Hide & Seek, In Too Deep), walk, no! better yet run! to get your credit card & order them. Buying them for their covers alone is well worth the money (the guys on the covers are amazingly gorgeous. These hunky military alpha heroes will make you salivate & the romance will make you sigh. Pair them up with those spunky ...heroines & you've got spontaneous combustion everytime there is a scorching love scene. And I mean SCHORCHING! I tell you these heroines are like the old TIMEX watches, "Takes a Lickin & Keeps On Ticken". The gals get beaten up and even tortured sometimes, yet they always manage to come back & kicked the [heck] out of the bad guys. The story lines are fast paced and you go on this roller coaster ride of non-stop action. There is always one spot in the storyline in each of the books where I gasp outloud because I am so shocked!I highly recommend all three of these books in this series. Each one is about a brother or brother-in-law in this close knit family of 4 brothers & one sister. Each hero is so gorgeous, you won't be able to decide which one is the hottest.
Rating:  Summary: One Wild Ride. Review: Cherry Adair writes another thrilling story. We meet one of Marnie Wrights brother from Kiss and Tell. Kyle and Delanie have a hot and steamy time of it in the jungle. A must read.
Rating:  Summary: Hide and Seek Review: This book was so so. The plot was dragging and some of it not quite believable. But they wind up together and beat the bad guys. But there are so many people around all the time there is very little sex. So if you buy it do so for the detective story part.
