Short biography: Cherry Wilkinson was born on 30 March 1951 in Cape Town, South Africa. In her early 20's, she moved halfway across the globe from South Africa to the United States. She settled in beautiful San Francisco, where she started what eventually became a thriving interior design business, before deciding to channel her creativity into writing full time. When asked why she chose to write romance, she says, "There simply aren't enough happy endings in the world and I wanted to create a few more for people to enjoy." When not glued to her computer or reading, the former RITA finalist can be found puttering around her flower garden performing snailacide. Popular on the workshop circuit, she gives lively classes on writing and the writing life. Pulling no punches when asked how to become a published writer.

Cherry currently lives in western Washington and collects teapots and books. Lots of books. With their two grown daughters out of the nest, she and husband David have lived under the dominance of their feline T.C. (Temporary Cat), for 10 years, and have recently acquired a perfect black schnauzer puppy, Max. Their dream house finally complete, she loves to spend time at home. A corner desk keeps her focused on writing, but the windows behind her, with a panoramic view of the front gardens, are always calling her to come outside and play.

Hide and Seek (The Men of T-FLAC: The Wrights, Book 3) by Cherry Adair

Straight up fun. I had read some pretty heavy books in the past few months and wanted a palate cleanser, something that would make me smile. Cherry Adair is a go to for me for light as air books that make me laugh, are well written, and avoid the purple prose that one so often finds in romance (and which repels me.) This book did not disappoint. Not my favorite of her books, but still a boatload of fun. Sexy smart hero, attractive independent heroine, nasty baddies, and very sexy sexiness. show more Oh, and a happy ending, bien sur. show less

Night Fall: A Novel (T-FLAC: Night Trilogy) by Cherry Adair

I was expecting pure romantic suspense when I picked up this book, so I was pleasantly surprised to learn it had a heavy paranormal slant. It took me about a chapter to really get into the story, but once Kess's POV came across, I was hooked. I adored Kess. She's got tons of attitude, and she's not afraid to go after what she wants. She perplexes the heck out of poor Simon, who has no idea how to handle a woman like her but sure wants to learn. This was a quick read, and kept me entertained show more throughout. I'm really looking forward to reading more books in this series, and more work by Cherry Adair. show less

Hurricane (Cutter Cay) by Cherry Adair

Hurricane by Cherry Adair

Romantic suspense. Vintage Cherry Adar. A fast read I engaged with immediately and didn't want to put down.
The first page descriptions with the high end designer names worried me a little since I don't follow high fashion, but the name dropping slowed considerably.
I didn't think I would like Rydell since he was the enemy business person in the series, but I found him extremely likable in this book. He may have appeared cold initially but we knew he was hurting from show more missing Addison.

Overall, I really enjoyed this romantic suspense for the flow, the main characters likability.
It seems to be the last in the series. It can be read as a stand alone.

I received a copy of this book via NetGalley. show less

Night Fall: A Novel by Cherry Adair

Fired from her job as a PA for a law firm in Atlanta and pending criminal charges for assault, the heroine takes up a position as the PA for the President of a war torn and disease ridden African county. She believes in him, is loyal to him and in her new position of broadcasting to the world the good he's doing for his country and his people, she finds purpose in her own life. She's involved in helping the sick and dying people even at the risk of her own health. The hero is a university show more friend of the president, in the country at the request of his once friend to help him stop the wizard believed to be killing the population. As a T-FLAD agent, the hero is gifted with invisibility and teleportation but lately his abilities have become unreliable. When he meets the heroine, he's shocked by the attraction he feels towards her. In his mind he always pictures his One Day Woman, mother to his children and future life partner and the woman before him doesn't fit any of the requirements he's looking for. She isn't feminine, she's talkative and brash and she's got fiery red hair. But something about her sparks something within him and at the first opportunity, he finds himself kissing her. She in turn finds the hero super sexy and has no qualms about entering into a no strings attached love affair with him. Though it hurts to think of him with another woman, she's happy to have him now. And when she finds out about his unique abilities she's intrigued, not repulsed by them. They do come in handy when she's being hunted by the enemy after she captures something on camera that incriminates them. Now, she is on the run for her life, chased by men with big guns and low morals, protected by a big strong beautiful man whom could never truly be hers. And to top it all off, they find themselves in the middle of the African politics and a conspiracy that rocks the heroine's faith in her boss and in the chances of her getting out of the situation alive. This was a great book. So sad in parts because it does a great job of portraying the struggle of the war torn and impoverished African countries. Though something to keep in mind, it is a romance novel. Even though it had a dark times, overall it is not antsy or a tear jerker so don't read it expecting a prized award winning piece of fiction because it's not that deep. Regardless, it is a lovely romantic paranormal suspense with great action, awesome chemistry between the characters and both humorous and sad parts in equal measure. I dreaded the heroine being that stereotyped 'feisty' heroine but she was likeable and admirable in her drive to help a good cause. The hero was alright, being that typical badass fighter with a gun and the girl. I could have done with a bit more depth to his character but I enjoyed the small insight into his past and his childhood which inspired his dream life with his dream wife and house of children. I quite liked this book. This author is turning into a must read as I've adored the first 2 books that I've read from her. show less
