Rating:  Summary: BEWARE OF THIS BOOK! Review: Back away and do not pick up this book...and I can't emphasize this enough...do not pick up this book if you have anything pressing to do. This most recent novel of Cherry Adair's should come with a warning lable because once you have it in hand and start reading you can forget about getting anything else done until you have read through to the last page.The opening sentence sits the stage for the red hot, explosive relationship between sedate Delanie Eastman and sensual Kyle. They are surprised to meet up with each other 4 years after a very brief breathless sensational episode that left each misunderstanding the intentions of the other. The firey attraction they were broadsided by initially is still in place, but this time, if unleashed, it could cost them their lives. There's nothing this book doesn't have. The author has somehow taken every emotion known to man and meshed with a riveting plot, dynamic adventures and dramatic conclusion yet doesn't leave you feeling the whole package was 'overkill'. A lot of readers are going to be chomping on their bookshelves waiting for Ms. Adair's next book to hit the stands. I'll be one of the first in line.
Rating:  Summary: PASS THE ASBESTOS GLOVES, PLEASE! Review: Holy cow this book is hot! The first sentence is guaranteed to make your eyes pop and your mouth fall open. This one is much hotter than KISS AND TELL (also a five star book), and I really think I liked it better. More action, more steam - and not just from the jungle location! A little too close to home with our present terrorism problems but if we had a hand full of Kyles at our disposal, our country could rest easy. My one complaint is the cover. Where did they come up with that male model. It looks like he's been waxed and hasn't seen the sun EVER. Come on! There are so many male models out there who would have fit Kyle's description to perfection. Just goes to show, you can't judge a book by its cover. A KEEPER!! Can't wait for the next brother's story. Hurry CA!
Rating:  Summary: Best Book Ever Review: Cherry Adair is my favorite author, after reading 'Kiss and Tell', I couldn't wait to read 'Hide and Seek'. They keep getting better and I can't wait for her next one. I hope she keeps writting about the Wright family.
Rating:  Summary: Not all that impressive... Review: ...I'm sorry to say. The characters were pretty good, but the plot was barely passable. It would take a healthy dose of suspended disbelief to buy this one. For one thing, the idea of the intrepid heroine being hired as a "companion" to a homosexual man is quite a stretch to avoid the romance novel taboo of having one of the characters sleeping with someone else during the novel. She is a virgin four years before when she picks up a stranger in a bar, then, after three days, she remains loyal to him for four years, even when posing as a "kept woman"? Come on. It's ludicrous, to say the very least. There are all the curve balls thrown in towards the middle or end of the book. Delanie's pregnancy and miscarriage, for instance. It didn't add anything to the characters, it wasn't necessary to drive the plot, so why is it even in there? More words, perhaps? Then there are all the minor characters, who, with the exception of the villain, are cardboard. They appear and disappear at a whim, friend and foe both. An otherwise weak book can be saved by secondary characters, but these are flimsey and apparently expendable. The only reson this got any stars is that it was a fairly entertaining story. Still, I'd buy it used or skip it all together.
Rating:  Summary: I stayed up allnight - there was no way I could put it down Review: Her books are just simply amazing. I thought nothing could be better than Kiss and Tell but I fell in love with Kyle and Ddelanie's characters. Like the other reviewer, I am now going to be miserable until her next book comes out. She still has 3 more brothers to use in future books... I ended up reading this from 10pm lastnight until 10 am this morning when I finished it - I should have known once I started to read this book, that I would be in trouble since the same thing happened when I read Kiss and Tell. Cherry Adair is one of the best writers out there right now, and I can't wait to read more from her.
Rating:  Summary: Another Bestseller from Cherry Adair! Review: All of you who LOVED Kiss and Tell will be blown away by Hide and Seek! Cherry Adair has given us an awesome romantic suspense with a "to die for" Alpha hero and a heroine you can't stop cheering for! Dr. Kyle Wright, a T-FLAC operative working undercover at the cartel headquarters to destroy drug lord Ramon Montero, who plans on producing and selling small pox virus to terrorists worldwide, suddenly finds Delanie Eastman there posing as Montero's girlfriend. She is the one woman he can't forget from an encounter four years ago when she chose him for a "one night stand" to lose her virginity. Kyle suddenly has a dilemma. He either has to rescue Delanie or kill her! Thus begins a drama as each try to decide whether the other is a good guy or bad, and the sexual tension between the two is explosive! Delanie has posed as a bimbo dancer and convinced Ramon to bring her to his headquarters, but she is there to find her sister Lauren, who had last been seen with Ramon in Las Vegas but hadn't been heard from since. The action is non-stop and the tension incredible! If Amazon.com thought Kiss and Tell a bestseller, they'd better stock up on Hide and Seek! Karen
Rating:  Summary: Hide And Seek by Cherry Adair Review: If you're like me, and you love those action packed thrillers, who of course have hero's to die for, you'll love Cherry Adair. She's got a place on my keeper shelf right next to Linda Howard, she's that good! In Hide and Seek, Dr. Kyle Wright is on a covert mission of huge magnitude when he sees a...face from his past in the home of a huge drug lord. A face he's never been able to forget...And the adventure starts here! This is a not to be missed read if you're a fan of suspense--Ms. Adair keeps us on the edge, and although we know who the villain is, there is no lack of thrills and suspense. I can't wait for the next one!!
Rating:  Summary: Action, Romance, Comedy, and Suspense Review: Cherry Adair just keeps getting better. This book grabbed a hold of you from the first page and didn't let go. I read it in one night. My only regret is now I have to wait until her next book comes out. The interaction between Kyle and Delanie kept me riveted. I can't wait for more from this author.
Rating:  Summary: A strong romantic suspense novel Review: Dr. Kyle Wright recognizes the breasts of Delanie Eastman, a woman he shared the best sex of his life with four years ago but has not seen since. Both are shocked because San Francisco is very distant from the isolated South American mountaintop above San Christobol where they renew their former acquaintance. However, they coincidentally meet at the fortress of drug cartel chief and terrorist Ramon Montero. Delanie claims to be a bimbo dancer, but in reality is a kindergarten teacher, searching for her missing sister last seen with Ramon in Vegas. Kyle needs to get Delanie off the mountain before the deadly confrontation between his side and Ramon occurs. Kyle has worked undercover for the anti-terrorist group T-FLAC for four years by pretending to be developing a small pox virus that will cause many deaths. His benefactor Ramon is about to unleash that virus on the world. Now Kyle finds himself falling in love with the one woman who could inadvertently destroy his and his cohorts plan to stop a potential pandemic conflagration. Cherry Adair follows up her RITA finalist, KISS AND TELL, with another strong romantic suspense novel. The story line is fast-paced and loaded with nonstop action that enhances the growing attraction between the lead couple. Though having two civilians, even if both are volunteers, in the war with Ramon seems stretched, readers will find HIDE AND SEEK a total joy, rooting for this couple to not only be victorious in battle, but in their relationship.

Rating:  Summary: horrid! Review: I'd read and heard a lot of good reviews about Cherry Adair, so when I had a chance to pick up a couple, I did. I spent a total of $1 at a thrift store and I regret even that. The plot was atrocious, the characters unlikable and the writing awkward. Ms. Adair referred to the heroine's 'hoo-hoo' in the middle of what was supposed to be a serious love scene. I mean, really, people. That's the word you tell your two-year-old daughter to use and to me it summed up what Ms. Adair must be thinking of her readers as - children.
