Summary: Fast paced and emotionally charging...
Review: Ms. Adair has it all in her books "Kiss and Tell" and "Hide and Seek". Her books are extremely well-written with strong characters and steamy sex scenes. Alpha males run loose these two books and it provides a great basis for a good read.In "Hide and Seek", a T-FLAC member and a kindergarden teacher are thrown together..both working undercover for different reasons. Four years ago, as virtual strangers, they had a 72 hour affair that left her emotionally scarred and him with wonderful dreams. They meet each other by accident at the house of an internationally wanted man and the lust/love is rekindled. These books have the perfect blend of violence and sensuality.

Summary: If you like violent action movies plus some sex...
Review: I am somewhat at a loss with Cherry Adair's action/romance books. On the one hand, they are extremely well-written, engrossing reads with strong characters and hot sex scenes (which is why I gave her 4 stars). On the other hand, after much thought, I feel they are just too violent -- at least for me (which is why I did not give her 5 stars). HAS has multiple scenes of violent death and torture, including scenes of torture of the heroine by the sadistic lesbian mother of the terrorist kingpin. The problem, for me, is that Adair is so adept at painting scenes with words that I felt like I was WATCHING a particularly violent action movie -- especially horrible when the terrorist Ramon executes a young boy and then feeds him to an anaconda. So, if you don't mind violent action movies and want a good read, this book would be an excellent choice for you -- as long as you don't read it right before going to bed! (Note to readers: Hide and Seek is much more violent than Kiss and Tell.)

Summary: This book not 5 stars? You're joking, right?
Review: This newest by Cherry Adair, Hide and Seek, was absolutely riveting. I very seldom am interested in writing reviews, but I do read approximately 20+ books per week. I can tell you that this one kept me up 'til 3:00 a.m. and I wouldn't put it down. I fully understand the character, Delanie, because I am a lot like her. And I found her counterpart, Kyle, to be the man to die for. The tension is high, including sensual. But then, lately, I have been really focused on Special Forces romances. I have a brother-in-law Navy Seal, and a son on homeland defense - and they have a sweetness towards women that is extraordinary these days. I have read of disillusionment with guys in the military, but that sure hasn't been my experience. Keep writing them, Cherry and Suzanne Brockman, and I'll keep buying them!

Summary: A Real Sizzler
Review: "Hide and Seek" by Cherry Adair may not be as good as her former "Kiss and Tell" but you'll find this to be one sensuous book! Great storyline, hot love scenes, and, of course, a source of conflict for the Alpha male. I won't go into the subtleties, as that's already posted, but suffice it to say, a good read.

Summary: Hide and Seek misses the mark....
Review: I rated Ms. Adair's first book, Kiss and Tell four stars, her second effort here rates only three. I will give her top marks for hot sex scenes, she writes them steamy and wild. However it would have been nice if their motivations had been more believeable. It was a real stretch of imagination to have Kyle and Delanie doing all that they did and frankly, Delanie was quite annoying most of the time. This wasn't a bad effort but a bit of a disappointment after Ms. Adairs first book. Most of the humor that marked the first effort was missing here as well.

Summary: Another Exciting Read
Review: I loved Kiss and Tell and I loved this one too... However, what I did find strange was that the excerpt at the back of Kiss and Tell... was totally different story to this book... This is not a problem... since I see that not only will the Wright Brothers get their story.. and intriguing they will be but also St.John the friend of Jake Dolan who is mentioned right at the very end.. and in particular the oddities of the Wright Brothers.. I also would like to know.. this about the brothers.. or certainly Kyle in this instance.. since Michael is also mentioned... How is it that Kyle has been a member of Jake Dolans organisationf or 10 years..Was he already a Member.. ( they also seem very secret or did he join.. re the mention in Kiss and Tell if so has ten years past since the first book.. well never mind that..
As in the first this is an action packed book right up my tree the sex scenes raunchy in keeping with the strong males in these books and the women are not afraid to like it rough... I do so hate wimpy females.. and love strong charactors.. the dialogue is funny in places.. and I know that some readers found the plot
unbelievable.. does it really matter. I mean they are all sort of James Bonds sort.. anyway. Cherry is on my keeper shelf and if you like Linda Howard and Karen Robards then you'll love these
Books.. NO WIMPY STUFF IN THESE BOOKS...

Summary: REALLY annoying heroine, ridiculous plot.
Review: Hot, steamy sex, but that was about it. Totally unbelievable plot and no grounds for the "love" (lust, more like it) that supposedly developed when she picked him up in a bar four years ago and they had a 72 hour "sex-marathon" no talking, just sex-- and if you believe them, a real connection of the souls while they were at it!). I found the heroine completely annoying--rather than loyal and tough, she came across as stupid, obstinate and blundering, always convinced she knows what's best for everyone (--not!) and constantly screwing up and predictably (and annoyingly) getting in the way. And the hero's character--although sexy, was also a big stretch of the imagination--a medical wunderkind (MD/PhD by the age of 20, no less) who just happened to pick up combat and undercover skills long the way (like using Uzis, flying helicopters and carrying out assassination attempts). And like he's got the clout to send "his team" to just hang out and make sure nothing happens to her in a bar while waiting for an assignation with him. If Ms. Adair would only take her skills to develop a believable plot with likeable characters and a true love story, as well as the steamy sex, then we'd have a winner....

Summary: Ok......But nothing like KISS AND TELL
Review: This book was entertaining, for most of the time; however it was kind of confusing, and very hard to believe. The sex scenes are pretty good, if not a little random. I liked how the characters were linked to KISS AND TELL. Jake Dolan, as well as another character from KIISS AND TELL appear briefly in this book. I was very happy about that. Many of the other characters were mentioned, also. I think I would have liked this book a lot more if Kyle didn't have a long braid; that whole thing really put mr off, I had to block it out every time she mentioned the thing. i supose, it did have a purpose, symbolliclly. Well, I would recomend reading this book, just for the sex scenes, and for the relATion to KISS AND TELL.

Summary: Pretty good
Review: I really enjoyed Kiss and Tell and was anxious to read Hide and Seek. H & S was ok but the storyline was not as good although it was fast paced. I guess I didn't like the characters. But the sex was sensational and hot. I enjoyed that alot.

Summary: Not My Cup of Tea!
Review: The story here is simple: Girls's sister is missing, girl goes to Vegas to find the last man seen with sister, girl goes to stay with man in South America to find sister. I was barely able to finish this book for several reasons but most prominent was that I found many things completely unbelievable. Such as.....how a woman (Delanie) could easily get so close to one of the richest men in the world in just a few weeks. How she would just happen to run into Kyle on a secluded mountaintop in South America?????? Etc. The sex scenes or interactions were not my cup of tea (particularly with Isabella). I'd pass on this one.
