943. Edge of Danger (Cherry Adair)

Synopsis from Amazon Canada:
As an anti-terrorism operative in T-FLAC’s classified paranormal unit, the intrepid, ruggedly handsome Gabriel Edge protects the world from the forces of evil. So when an ingenious and extremely volatile invention is stolen from a covert lab in Arizona, Gabriel zeroes in on the brilliant young scientist who helped to create the device. From Gabriel’s first contact, Eden Cahill leaves an indelible impression.

Using a mysterious telepathic power as ancient as his Scottish heritage, as well as his seductive physical charms, Gabriel must infiltrate Eden’s mind to uncover the secrets she so desperately protects. But Gabriel is in a bind–for the only way to penetrate Eden’s memories is through one shared intimate encounter that will trigger revelations, shatter lives, and just might save humanity–all at a terribly steep price.

922. The Mercenary (Cherry Adair)

Synopsis from Amazon Canada:
Victoria Jones was a lousy liar. Not that the sensible bookkeeper was accustomed to lying—or anything else that would have disrupted her safe, dull existence. But her world took a terrifying turn when her twin brother, Alex, an agent for T-FLAC, the elite antiterrorist task force, went missing.

Now she'll do anything to find him…lie, cheat, even subject herself to the predatory advances of Alex's T-FLAC partner, Marc Savin, if it will help get her brother home safe.

But trusting the sexy, brooding operative might just be the risk of a lifetime.

My rating: 2 stars

My review: If I had read this book first (instead of the other Adair books), I think I would have enjoyed it a lot. Unfortunately, having read most of Adair's T-FLAC books before this one, it feels formulaic.

781. White Heat (Cherry Adair)

Synopsis from Amazon Canada:
Emily Greene met Max Aries at a party in Florence. The two left early and spent the next few days in a steamy romantic tryst. Then Max disappeared. Now he's back, investigating the alleged suicide of his father—and Emily's professional mentor—artist and art restorer Daniel Aries, whose death turns out to be connected to a series of mysterious murders and bombings of religious sites. Unbeknownst to Daniel's clients, Emily has actually been doing most of Daniel's work for the last few years, and she now finds herself tangled up in a deadly game of international terrorism.

My rating: 2 stars

My review: Predictable plot with an annoying heroine who acts hysterical. There are also some inconsistencies -- how does T-FLAC have such access??? If the Pentagon contracts out finding terrorists, it's no wonder we aren't winning the war on terror. In general, I don't like techno-thrillers. There's always too much techno and not enough thriller. Not one of Cherry Adair's better books.

721. Hot Ice (Cherry Adair)

Synopsis from Amazon:
Huntington "Hunt" St. John needs a thief. Preferably a resourceful, cunning, totally unscrupulous thief capable of breaking into religious-zealot and terrorist Jose Morales' San Cristobel home and stealing a set of computer disks. Hunt, an operative with the privately funded, freelance antiterrorist organization T-FLAC, quickly discovers that jewel-thief Taylor Kincaid is the woman he wants, but before he can secure her services, Taylor does the job on her own. But after she is arrested mere hours later by the San Cristobel police, Hunt sees an opportunity for a deal. Taylor pretends she has no idea what Hunt is talking about until an encounter with a group of lethal terrorists out for the same disks convinces her that she'd be better off trusting the enigmatic and sexy Hunt.

417. Kiss and Tell (Cherry Adair)

Synopsis from Amazon Canada:
Setting: Mountains of northern California, present day
Sensuality Rating: 9
Newcomer Cherry Adair takes no prisoners with her sexy romp of a novel, Kiss and Tell. Deftly combining suspense, romance, and humor to can't-put-this-book-down effect, Adair introduces readers to Marnie Wright, a computer analyst in the midst of a career crisis, and Jake Dolan, a top secret military agent running for his life. Jake's heavy-handed attempts to intimidate Marnie into leaving the mountaintop retreat where she's contemplating her next career move don't faze Marnie, whose four overprotective older brothers have left her testosterone-averse--unless of course the commands are issuing from the most sensual pair of lips she's ever clapped her blue eyes on. It's lust at first sight for the mountain man who has no time for blondes, no matter how nubile, and for feisty Marnie, who aggravates Jake even as she saves his bacon when the bad guys come after him.
