Kiss and Tell

Hero:Jake Dolan
Heroine: Marnie Wright

Really enjoyed this. It pretty much defines Romantic Suspense for me. I was either on the edge of my seat chewing my nails at the action scenes or sweating and wondering why I don't smoke for the love scenes. 4 Stars


Read With Me: Kiss and Tell

Just plain fun. Sometimes that is what I am looking for. Marnie and Jake are well-drawn characters for whom I was rooting the whole way. There is a lot more intrigue than sex, but there was good romance and the way through and that was just fine. As yummy (and insubstantial) as a box of hot Krispy Kremes or a glass of red wine and your hundredth viewing of Pretty Woman. Yup, that good.

She was looking for adventure.

Marnie Wright has seen more than her fair share of testosterone. Growing up with four overly protective brothers was one thing. Now a mountain man named Jake Dolan has invaded a peaceful day of soul-searching at her grandmother's secluded cabin. Sure, she was trespassing on his private property, but did he have to pull a gun on her? There's more to this longhaired soldier of fortune who calls himself the Tin Man, but she's not sure she wants to stick around to find out what. Then he stashes her in his secret lair-an underground techno-fantasy complete with security monitors and an arsenal-and Marnie realizes the guy is military, top secret military. He's also got the most beautiful mouth she's ever seen.

He show more could get her killed. show less

Jake is on forced leave as they determine whether he's the spy in their organization. He's holed himself up on a mountain and created an underground fortress. He was betrayed by a woman and wants absolutely NOTHING to do with Marnie. Marnie and her dog are charming worming their way under Jake's defenses.

This is the first book from Cherry Adair that I have read and I really enjoyed it. It is about Jake who belongs to an operative group called T-FLAC. He is trying to find out who has framed him and is hiding in a lair in the mountains. Marnie is staying at her Grandmother's cabin with her wonderful dog and of course romance follows when Jake and Marnie meet along with danger!

This is the first book that I've read in this series and I really liked it. I thought it was an easy read and kept my attention. I read it in one day. And I love series' so it gave me something to look forward to in reading about Marnie's brothers.
