Rating:  Summary: Cherry Adair does it again! Review: My first book by Cherry Adair was KISS AND TELL. I really enjoyed the story and have been eagerly awaiting the next book from her, HIDE AND SEEK. It is about Kyle Wright (the brother of the heroine from K&T) and Delanie Eastman. They were lovers several years ago and had not seen one another since then. They meet up in a secluded fortress owned by a suspected drug lord. Delanie is pretending to be the lover of the drug lord. Kyle doesn't know whether to trust her or not. She doesn't trust him either and so does not tell him the real reason she is there.Kyle and Delanie strike sexual sparks together immediately in the story and like KISS AND TELL, it has lots of action. There were times I got a little squeamish, but it was not gory. Just a suspenseful story that you don't know where it will go next. The love scenes are plentiful, and hot, especially the one in the bedroom after Delanie drinks spiked wine. I will admit I preferred KISS AND TELL more, but putting comparisons aside, I admit this is just as good and deserves my 5-star rating. I am looking forward to the next installment about the Wright family. If you are looking for an action packed romance, with hot love scenes, you won't go wrong with this.
Rating:  Summary: Run and Keep Running Review: This was a bad book--a very bad book. It was bad enough that the plot seemed implausible but the characters also could be cut out of cardboard. Like a B-grade action film the ending of the book kept on stretching. You'd think the bad guy was dead and gone but then the bad guy's mom shows up and tries to kill the hero and heroine. To make things worse, the mom (the same one who shows up like a bad case of flu in the end of the book) tortures the heroine--there is some pelvic exam business I think and there is some branding on the ankle. Oh and the sizzling love scenes were ridiculous--in one of them the heroine is drugged and she wants to have sex and the hero obliges and obliges and...it was not very exciting or new. Your everyday boring cliched stuff. In any case, my advice is to steer clear of this book. KISS AND TELL was implausible but not ridiculous. KISS AND TELL was also funny and cute, this book is neither.
Rating:  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.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent! The best romantic suspense! Review: I first heard about Cherry Adair when I saw "Kiss and Tell" on Amazons best seller list. I love romantic suspense and decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did! It was an excellent, steamy and action packed story! I bought "Hide and Seek" as soon as it was released and read it in one day. Cherry, your books just keep getting better! I am now waiting <not patiently ;> for your next book.
Rating:  Summary: Hide and Seek a Pleasure to Find! Review: Take a ditzy, blond, bimbo who is the girlfriend of an international crime lord with a hidden agenda. Throw in an agent posing as an associate of the crime lord really to take him down after four years of carefully setting the stage. Throw in three passionate nights over four years ago that neither has forgotten and watch the sparks ignite. Delanie Eastman is a kindergarten teacher who assumes a persona of a sex kitten while searching for her sister. Kyle Wright is a man of many faces; doctor, scientist, agent, and commando all rolled into one. She'll stop at nothing to find her sister. He'll let nothing stand in his way of stopping an international incident. Nothing can stop either of them, that is until they find themselves face to face after four years. Throw in disreputable crime lords from around the world, the sadistic mother from hell, and you have an attention-grabbing read in store for yourself. This is my second book by Cherry Adair and I have to say I enjoyed it just as much as the first. Ms. Adair has the most fascinating characters. I love the way they interact with each other. The characters ooze sex appeal and the dialogue flies between them. The heroine, while clearly out of her natural element, displays a spunk that can match anyone. The hero is tough, sexy, tender, and smart. The plot? Well, the plot is pretty lame. But you know what? You won't notice it or care with all the suspense, excitement, and sex that flow throughout the book. When I buy a book by Ms. Adair, I know I am going to be entertained!
Rating:  Summary: Somehow Lacking Review: Having loved "Kiss and Tell", I couldn't wait for "Hide and Seek". Unfortunately, the book does not live up the the promise of the first. I think the reason is that the main characters are pretty rude to each other from the very beginning. Neither one exhibits any softness that draws the reader in, unlike "K&T" where although Jake was a bit of a hard***, Marnie was adorable and sweet. Kyle and Delanie are fairly hateful and mean to each other, putting up huge barriers between them. These barriers also prevent the reader from really caring about them. There are also some huge leaps of logic and pacing that sometimes makes the dialogue a bit hard to follow. I also have a bit of a problem with the fact that they spent three days together four years ago, but Kyle kept the memory of those few days with him, in his words they kept him "alive". As if. There's no evidence that they have any deep feelings towards each other, other than perpetual sexual heat. There are a few mentions of a special "connection" between them that goes beyond sex, but I never saw it. The sideline of Delanie's pregnancy does nothing for the story and makes me wonder whether the characters in this author's books EVER use protection. Cherry Adair demonstrated enormous talent in her first book, but this one is a bit of a dud.

With an excellent "good vs evil" plot that shows the violent world of terrorism Cherry Adair's "Hide and Seek" will guarantee us a sizzling heart-pounding read. I really enjoyed it and I am now a fan of Cherry's. Keep an eye on this author because she's going places. Reviewed by Jan Springer, Romantic Suspense Author
Rating:  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.
Rating:  Summary: Simply Fantastic Review: I couldn't put this book down! The characters of Delanie and Kyle had me hooked from the first sentence to the last. Delanie was a woman of the new millieum not allowing any to solve her problems was but in a haunting position posing as the "blonde bimbo" of the crazed sicko drug-dealer Montero to save her sister. Imagine her shock of finding the only man shared passion with as Montero's closest friend. Kyle, who was dangerous as well as sexy, had his socks knocked off by seeing Delanie again and right smack in the middle of his four year deep cover. The characters had everything together including a smoldering intense passion. Kyle was rough and tough when he needed to be yet gentle with the woman he had never forgotten. Delanie was powerfully stubborn yet her story and pain had me rooting for her all the way. Cherry Adair did a fantisic job and I can't wait to see what she has in store for Kyle's brothers. It was also nice to see " The Tin Man "--from her other story. The is is must read.
Rating:  Summary: Fast-paced, steamy reading Review: The fast-paced story of Delanie Eastman and Kyle Wright is entertainment at its best. The pathos of their history emerge amid the blazing action and torrid sex woven through a well-crafted story. Thanks, Ms. Adair! Looking forward to the next Wright Brothers' story.
