Hide and Seek

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. Oh, and a happy ending, bien sur.

Looking back the thing that stands out the most for me in this book was Delanie's palpable terror that was conveyed through the first third or so of the story. I really felt my heart racing right along with hers for a while. Next stand out in my memory are the smoking sex scenes. The jungle just got hotter every time those two were close together. OH and I adored him calling her jungle girl. *grin*

Delanie is a spit fire and Kyle will have his hands full for years to come.

Am slowly backtracking and reading this T-Flac series. I've picked this one up a couple of times, but didn't like the beginning as I don't usually like the h/h to have had one (or 3!)night stand with each other before the storyline starts. However, I am so pleased I persevered (I have to read series in order so I had to read this sometime!).
The action was great, ongoing with no real flat spots. I always love a book that has the women in danger scenario, but in this I loved the fact that the hero went from protective to impatient and back again.
I enjoyed both characters, which is a real bonus for me. Delanie didn't whinge or whine... the only negative here for me was I think Delanie was too she-man when they are in the forest fighting show more off the baddies. I mean, she is a kindergarten teacher after all. But it didn't annoy me enough to stop me reading.
I loved Kyle...right down to his impatience with Delanie and the choice he sometimes has to make between his duty and her was worked into the story well without making an OTT production of it. He sometimes came off as rather abrasive, but don't all men!!
Anyway, I can't say this is a standout or a favourite but it certainly kept me turning the pages. Read it in one sitting. Recommended to all who like romantic-suspense more on the romance side than 'suspense' like me. show less

This is my second Cherry Adair book. I am enjoying the stories of the Wright men and their sister. This book had a lot of exciting danger scenes and a lot of sex. At times I felt the sex took away from the actual story since there was so much of it. But I liked the characters and how complex they were. The story is set in South America. The female (Delanie) and the male (Kyle) met years ago and now run into each other while both are in the middle of a secret mission - not the same mission which makes things very interesting.

I didn't like it nearly as much as I did Kiss and Tell. I had a harder time getting into the story and so much of it seemed unrealistic with the heroine. I really don't believe a kindergarten teacher that's only taken a self defense class would be able to go up against a drug cartell.

Searching for her missing sisters, Delanie Eastman poses as the mistress of an international crimelord to infiltrate a remote South American mountain hideaway, where she encounters her old lover, Kyle Wright, a man in the middle of his own secret agenda.

They are both on secret missions, Kyle to take down a notorious terrorist and drug lord and she to find and save her sister from the same man. He's trying to get her out of danger and she seems to keep falling or running to it.
