Summary: Best Contemporary in a long, long time!
Review: I simply loved this book. It had it all - mystery, suspense, romance - and it's HOT! Believe me, the heat is not just because it takes place in a tropical rain forest. The two main characters steam things up from the first page.
I read a lot of contemporary writers, but I have to say that this is the best I've read in quite a long time. I just hope Ms. Adair is working on another book.

Summary: This year's best contemporary romance
Review: After her stunning debut KISS AND TELL, Cherry Adair packs an invigiorating tale HIDE AND SEEK to her credit as her latest offering. Deep in South America, Delanie Eastman braves high and low to locate her missing sister Lauren who was previously linked to the virulent drug-lord Ramon Montero. Assuming her dumb blonde persona, she enters the lion's den as Montero's interest. Little did she expect her plans to explode when Dr. Kyle Wright, her one-night stand years ago to appear as Montero's assassin. He has a secret agenda - to save the world from Montero's destructive plans in bioterrorism. Together Delanie and Kyle are gripped by treachery, propelled into present danger and even a frigid and emotional passion....What action and high-flying passion! HIDE AND SEEK blends seamlessly propulsive drama and rollicking adventures as they survived through anacondas, piranhas, bugging devices and even the evil Isabella, a prostitution ringleader. Delanie is endearingly vulnerable yet a suitable candidate as Charlie's Angel with her ballet kicks. Kyle is a sexy and strong hero, fierce in his passion. Their chemistry is a exploding effervescence, especially in the sex department. HIDE AND SEEK is blazingly sensual and explicit. In all its cloak of fast wits and cynical humour, HIDE and SEEK no doubt loses its predecessor's warmth and tenderness. Yet it reigns as this year's best contemporary romance so far. The heart-stopping action and steamy sex is enough to justify Ms. Adair's uncompromising talents in scripting a good read.

Summary: I was so unspeakably dissappointed
Review: Well, ALMOST unspeakably. When I finished I had to just sit there for a second and take in the entirety of my bad judgement. Okay, so this ... sounded similar to Linda Howard and so I got excited enough to buy it.
As I was reading through this I found a ton of things that I disagreed with, didn't (as a fairly intellegent woman) understand and things that I just disliked. I wanted to pick up a pen and list them all but I still wanted the use of my wrist later on in life. Ms. Adair seems to be aiming at a cross between Linda Howard's basic prototype of hero and heroine and Elizabeth Lowell's Donavon series except not as subtly and skillfully. If you're a person who gets annoyed at a hero and heroine who are just to damn perfect, leave this one be. The hero was not only involved in the military but he was also a prodigy in more than one medical field. He also had no scars, neither physically, mentally or emotionally and had the patient of a saint when the heroine did some of the stupidest things that I've ever read about--and believe me--there were some really stupid things in there. The reason that you get annoyed with her so called perfection is because her stupidity is chalked up to loyalty, and her strong personality is just stubbornness and overall ridiculous.
Here are some things I remember:
-It takes money to fly all the way to Brazil and an enormous amount of resources--thousands of dollars (U.S.) So how did the heroine get there again?
-There was never any explanation of why the hero continuously called the heroine "jungle girl" unless I was too busy berating myself mentally for still reading this and it flew over my head. I mean, no 'graceful movement of her walk' or 'cat-like eyes', no reason AT ALL.
-There just weren't enough details on the villain. Whatever detail there was is too general. Why would an international terrorist be tried in MAIMI and not by the world court? At least say that was where he'd blown up a naval base or something, (just for the sake of making the fiction more believable).
-Also, the arrival of the hero's brother-in-law who had just had a baby daughter. Why would a man who had just had a child leave to help a perfectly competent grown man?
Yet another question is why a kindengarten teacher would fly to Las Vegas and pose as a casino showgirl and cozy up to her missing sister's last flame who is purposedly gay so that she could get close enough to him to find out where, oh where, he'd stashed her sister. The answer must be that Ms. Adair was looking for the most implausible plot she could ever hope to concieve.
In conclusion, if I ever hear the expression "rat's patoot" again--which the heroine seems to use on a sickeningly regular basis--I'll go insane. I found it extremely irritating that I can't remember the heroine once cursing while I can remember the hero doing just that. Overall, the book's plot had just way too much and was too overdone.
I'm sorry but, I can't apologize for my standards or my geniuine displeasure when the book was done.
In truce I'll offer the one thing that I DID like. When the hero's cheering the heroine on at that fight in the end and he shouts: "Damn it, stopping hitting like a GIRL. Hit HARDER!" LOL. It's going down in my Annals of Greatest Contemporary Romance Quotes. That's what the second star's for.

Summary: Sizzling Sex in the Jungle!!!
Review: Cherry Adair is the author of the year! I couldn't put down her first book KISS AND TELL and I only received her second book HIDE AND SEEK yesterday. I finished it this morning and all I can say is...when is the next one! Delanie and Kyle are wonderful characters that clicked 4 years prior in a 3 day sex romp. Now they meet again but on different turfs. The plot...well you don't really notice the plot with all the excitment going on. I would have prefered that they both give into each other and not Delanie begging Kyle but hey, it was still great. I just hope she has a story for all of Marnie's brothers.

Summary: Really disappointing
Review: I liked Cherry Adair's last book - Kiss and Tell - and had high hopes for this one. Unfortunately, I found the story contrived, the suspense forumlaic, and the sex just distasteful. Yeah, let's consummate the relationship while she's on serious drugs about 100 times. Great. This heroine had no rational basis for her choices. With hundreds of guards around and a psycho for a host, with the assurance that no other woman is there from the psycho's mother, the intelligent heroine would have left - not had sleazy sex. And the hero was just plain ineffectual. I do not recommend this book. Yuck.

Summary: Buckle Your Seat Belts!
Review: You're in for a heck of a ride with Hide and Seek, the newest book from Cherry Adair! Cherry just keeps getting better and better, and this book sizzles with fun, excitement and sexual tension. Kyle is a hero among men, a man capable of taking care of himself and everyone else around him. Delanie is spunky, fun and determined, and the fireworks between the two kept me turning the pages, long past lights-out! This is a don't-miss book!

Summary: You Get What You Ask For
Review: When I first found out that Ms. Adair was coming out with a new book, I assumed that it was going to be on Huntington and Taylor, but I was pleasantly surprised when it actually turned out to be Kyle and Delanie. What I didn't really like though was the ending when it was apparent that both sides were hiding things from each other, but only Delanie had to go and practically "beg" Kyle to take her back. I didn't like this scenario. Both characters are strong and there should have been more of a mutual surrender. Overall, though, a great book with lots of steamy romance and "spy king" adventure. Still waiting for Huntington and Taylor!

Summary: Keep Watching For This Author!
Review: My second Cherry Adair - and I'll be looking for more! Strong characters in Kyle & Delanie made this book well worth the read. Cherry Adair seems to have the knack for drawing her readers into the characters' lives, and leaves you turning page after page just to see what happens next! Delanie poses as a silly 'bimbo' type, but doesn't fool Kyle, who knows this woman from an intimate encounter 4 years before. A few romps in the jungle lend a little spice and makes this book fun as well as an interesting read.

Summary: Cherry definitely makes her readers want to play Hide n Seek
Review: Kyle and Delanie have been playing games since the day they meet four years earlier at a bar. Neither of them expected to see each other ever again, and especially not in some remote Latin American jungle at the home of a notorious despot.
From the very beginning of the story, Cherry Adair sets the tone for the ripe, gritty story of her edgy heroine and even edgier hero. And she delivers! Kyle and Delanie take one step forward and two steps back as they seek to achieve their individual goals while fighting an intense attraction. The sex is as hot as the jungle heat and the plot is as intricate as the jungle foliage. The dialogue is sharp and witty and every word choice conveys the mood. Nothing about this story is a let down. It delivers a walloping punch then drags the breathless reader on a riveting journey to Kyle and Delanie's equivalent of happily ever after.
