3.0 out of 5 stars
Funny, silly, sexy, 24 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This comtempory romantic thriller opens with our heroine Delanie Eastmann meeting long lost lover undercover agent Kyle Wright while sunbathing topless in the luxury mountain retreat of a renouned drug tycoon. Neither our sexy undercover CIA or the fiercly independent Eastmann come clean about their reasons or motives for being there but realise that their mutual attraction is not only too stronge to be denied but could put their respective missions in jeopardy. The plot gets silly, the mexican accents heavy and the steamy jungle setting no match for the sizzling sex every hundred pages or so. In a pool with a giant snake, in the back of a helicopter with bullets flying, up against a tree while being pursued by a pychopathic slave trader, anything goes with Ms Adair not sparing the blushes. Three stars instead of 4 because improbable becomes downright unbelievable as the plot progresses, because dispite the fact that we do learn a fair amount about the hero's background and motives, he remains too 'cardboard cut out hero-by-numbers' for my liking and because Delanie is funny but irritating ("I hate him, I think I'll shoot him now.." when you KNOW she doesn't and won't).
Nevertheless, this is a very entertaining read with Ms Adair keeping her tongue firmly in her cheek with this fast paced, hot comedy thriller. Funny, silly, sexy.

Dangerously Wright, 5 Sep 2003
Adventure story featuring another of the Wright brothers. This time Kyle, the intelligent doctor turned spy, is about to see the culmination of 4 years work. His ‘boss’, international crime lord Montero, is about to go down. Montero has had Kyle working to manufacture the smallpox virus, which Montero plans to sell to the highest bidder. But Kyle isn’t the one doing the manufacturing by chance. Co-incidentally, Delanie Eastman’s sister has been kidnapped by Montero – or so Delanie (rightfully – although it’s for his mother’s project) believes. Even more co-incidentally, Delanie and Kyle had a brief but brutal fling directly before Kyle began working for Montero. Neither knows the other’s agenda now that they meet again. Against this background of distrust and danger, each must try to achieve their own objective and attempt to put aside the strong attraction they have for the other. Oh yes, and get out of the compound alive. High action and drama abound here in the very nature of the rather fantastical plot. That Kyle is on one side super intelligent, and the other a dangerous mercenary type (in image terms – he’s one of the good guys) makes for a very attractive if highly-unlikely-in-real-life hero. Hey, the plot doesn’t shout ‘real’ to me either. And that’s really not the point. Delanie is very likeable, and both characters have a determination to do their best for their family (Delanie) and country (Kyle). As the attraction between them leaps high once again, the erotic aspects of the story come to play in a suitably highly charged atmosphere. Phew! Quite a story.

Excellent, you won't want to put it down., 22 Nov 2001

I found Cherry Adair by chance and couldn't wait for her to write her next novel. The relationship between the two main characters was wonderful and I loved the banter and passion they shared with one another. It's a book I frequently pick up again and again and if you enjoy Nora Roberts, Linda Howard etc, you won't be dissapointed.
