Easy, fast paced enjoyable read that kept me turning the page. I was quickly drawn in by the characters Kess and Simon. The horrible issues they were facing all through out the book kept the story interesting at every turn. Their back and forth banter and interest in each other made the romance sizzle. I also did love the wizard angle added to the TFLAC series. I haven't read all of the TFLAC books, and just jumped into this Night series.Easy, fast paced enjoyable read that kept me turning the page. I was quickly drawn in by the characters Kess and Simon.

What I Loved
Characters
Teal: She is a pretty awesome character, she may have some social interaction issues but I love how witty and quick she is. Teal is a female mechanic and since there are so few of those in the romance world I just loved that about her. Teal's willingness to confide and open up about her hard life is memorable. Her name is odd and unique, but it completely fits her.
Zane: At first I was not completely in love with him, I personally don't care much for the Casanovas types and his nickname is "Casanova of the Caribbean". As more of his personality was revealed I really did come to love him.
Romance
I LOVE their type of courtship. I love it when the woman does not instantly fall for his charms and will keep pushing back and he lays the sex appeal on thick. The tug of war relationships are always so entertaining and especially with a man who is use to getting every girl he wants and the one girl he can't have is the one he wants the most. LOVE IT! Yes the romance is steamy.
At Sea Action
I'm not much of a sea person, I'm not a strong swimmer and I don't think I am capable of scuba diving at all, but with all the beauty and awesome treasure they were finding I really wish I was able to do both of those things. The story has love, lust, treasure seeking, pirates, guns blazing and all the action you would expect to come from Cherry's books.
My Only Qualm
I thought bullets didn't go very far when shooting into the water, nor do they shoot well underwater? I'm not a gun expert and I don't really care how accurate this really is since the book is a creation of fiction. It did however make for some exciting underwater action scenes.
Recommendation
Like romantic suspense, got to read this series.What I Loved

Hot and sexy book. I don't have a problem with snakes at all, so I thought Cherry came up with the craziest, insane, creepy, disgusting and kinda the coolest thing ever in the book (if you don't like snakes prepared to be grossed out, but I have never read anything like that so I thought it was very original and disgustingly creative).Hot and sexy book.

What I Loved
Another Cutter Brother
I do love it when books follow a set of siblings and each book features the next sibling. These Cutter men are so delicious, ripped, tanned, dark hair and have these amazing blue eyes.
Nick aka Spock: Yes he is nicknamed Spock because he lack of emotions and cool exterior. I personally like him a little more than Zane (the brother from bk 1 Undertow), Zane is a fun guy but I really love the broody type that likes to keep their emotions very controlled. Nick also has some other really amazing talents and he does some undercover work as well too due to his ability to place accents and speak like 6 languages. What a man!!
Bria aka Princess Gabriella: Where Nick is cool Bria is fiery. She is a very fun character a little vixen that is use to getting her way, but she also knows how to kick some ass when she needs too. Not a little whiny princess at all, she can take a few punches and deal with it all.
Romance
Oh Cherry, boy can she write some amazing steamy scenes. These two are amazing for each other and the provide a lot of entertainment with just their interactions with each other.
Action
Along with the bedroom action there is plenty of near death action, bullets flying, rocking falling and blood diamonds.
What I Didn't Like
. . . I still can't think of anything.
Recommendation
Second book in the series of romantic suspense. Must readWhat I Loved

What I Liked
Never a Dull Moment
The book starts off with the first paragraph of Zak waking up with from a one night stand, an erection and "the cold hard metal of a gun barrel pressed to his temple." This is an action packed book from beginning to the end. Kidnapping, bullets flying, cars blowing up, racing for their lives, backstabbing at every turn and you don't know who the instigator of the whole situation is till the end. As soon as they get a break something else happens and a new life threatening situation is upon them.
Undeniable Attraction
What was suppose to be just a one night stand turns into a wrong person at the wrong time. Zak and Acadia are very hot and heavy for each other even through the life threatening situations. Cherry has no closed door policy for her writing, she writes exactly what the characters are feeling and what they are doing to each other in the heat of the moment(s).
Characters
Acadia: At first I was thinking she was going to be this dumb blond whining and crying through the whole book, but I was happy to find out that is not what the character was going to be like. She held her tongue through the grueling escape through the rainforest and more than pulled her weight with her handy hidden pocketed vest that held everything. She also has a sharpy witty attitude and wouldn't let Zak push her around.
Zak: I love this male type. The brooding, hurt male character that needs the right woman that will help him heal from the wound of his dead wife and guilt over his inability to save her. He has a death wish and willing to risk anything besides the safety of his brother.
Reading Time
I read this in just over a day. I really didn't want to put it down, it was just too exciting and action packed to ever find a "good" stopping place.
What I Didn't Like
Nothing. Even having no magic or fantasy type stuff didn't bother me at all.
Recommendation
You have got to read this book. A lot of adult content. A traditional romance story with lots of action and a great storyline.What I Liked

What I Loved
Characters
Rafael: Usually I'm not a fan of the cocky male characters that like to sleep around with woman, but I actually did really like him. It mentions his reputation as the 'Spanish Stallion', but he doesn't read like that type of guy. Thankfully.
Honey: At first I wasn't so sure about her character, the 'Ice Princess', but same thing as I went through the book and her history and her personality really opens up and unfolds. By the end I loved her strength and her character's kick ass attitude.
Steamy Action
As usual to all of Cherry's books a healthy dose of ass kicking, bullets flying, bombs blowing up and mix that with hot, steamy romance and you get one hell of an exciting book from start to finish. The book does start of with a fight scene and then jump right into the characters attraction. What is not to love about Cherry's books!
Rotating Point of View
We do get to read from both Honey and Rafael's perspective. Which I really do enjoy, we get to read their mixed up feeling and how they handle things. It just is done perfectly.
T-FLAC World
So this book is actually labeled in Goodreads as number 15 in the T-FLAC series, but it is written to be completely independent, it is just written in the T-FLAC word that Cherry has created. I haven't read most of the T-FLAC series, but I didn't feel lost at all for not having read them. I think there is probably things that have been explained in more detail in earlier books, but I don't feel that it hindered my enjoyment or understanding of the book at all.
Didn't Love
I would have loved at least one more chapter at the end. I'm a greedy reader and I want more of these two, I'm hoping they will make a cameo in another book.
Recommendation
If you have or have never read a Cherry Adair book you should read this especially if you like romance and suspense. A read that is completely worth it.What I Loved

What I Loved
Characters
Rand: Cherry has created another wonderful sexy male character. This guy was a Hollywood stunt double turned security guard business owner for the Hollywood elite. Not only is he good looking but he has a lot of survival fighting and escape skills that help them out along the way.
Dakota aka Dr. North: At first when Rand sees her he has this intense venomous hatred towards her and I didn't like her. It took getting to know her and hearing her side of the story to like her. Once I read more about her I really did end up liking her a lot. Strong female character who was wrongly accused and stands her ground well when hurtful accusations were flung at her.
Steamy Romance
Typically in romance books you get the first time meeting for the new couple, but for this story we get to meet them when they meet each other after being broken up for 2 year. Their breakup was vicious and hurtful with lots of accusations thrown at Dakota and her not getting the chance to tell her side of the story. Even though they had this horrible ending their feeling never went away for each other. Their is passion and the mental desire to stay away from one another but their bodies don't agree.
Rapture
An addictive, deadly, lower inhibition, powerful sex drug. This thing is nothing to mess with, it can cause sweet grandma to have sex with the 20 year old and with the wrong dose it will kill. Rapture cannot get out into the drug market and be used by terrorist to kill masses of people.
Action
Find the person who has stolen the formula to Rapture which was suppose to have been destroyed years ago in the fire. Figure out who is trying to frame Dakota. Not get killed by the people they are searching for. Destroy the supply and supplier of Rapture. This books was action packed with actual action and bedroom action, never a dull moment.
Sixth Sense
No not the "I see dead people" sense, but she is able to find alive people by holding an object of theirs. A little touch of the unreal to add to the book.
POV
The books switched back and forth between Rand and Dakota. I love this because we get to know both of their stories and feeling.
Didn't Like
What was there not to like about this book. Okay I will nitpick and say I was surprised that the police never interfered with their search. They had one close call but even at that they easily avoided it.
Recommendation
Must read for any romance read. Even though it is book 2 in the series it could be read individually and out of order. Sexy and hot as hell, not for the faint of heart.What I Loved

What I Loved
Series
This is the third book in the series, but they are individually written enough that they don't necessarily need to be read in order. I enjoy series that have siblings and each books we get their story and their love affair.
Characters
Daniela: First off I want to say that I love her name, why do I love it? Well this is my sister's name and it is spelled the same way as well, it isn't a very common name and love seeing it in a book. I also do love her character as well, she is strong, resilient and a survivor. I like that she continually tries to fight back even when the odds are completely stacked against her.
Logan: The oldest Cutter brother with magnificent blue eyes and we finally get to know Logan or Wolf as he is also known as. I love his character, I think he might be my favorite brother out of the three so far. I like that he is the strong quiet type of guy. He is sexy as hell, but he has a great sense of duty, trust and honesty that I really like about him.
Romance
Once again Cherry has delivered a hot, steamy, sexy romance tension with action, fighting and killing. Neither the romance nor the action disappoint at any moment in the book.
Didn't Like
Well . . . nothing really. Enjoyed and loved it all.
Recommendation
A must read for romanctic suspense readers. Even though there isn't a paranormal element (my favorite) in the book it still was a fantastic pleasure read.What I Loved

What I Loved
Characters
Isis: Love her name, but I also love that she is a photographer, made me really want to go out and do some photography as well. Anyways, she is a fun character, I can completely respect her desire to help prove her father right.
Connor: Another brooding sexy man wonderfully created by Cherry. British, who doesn't love a sexy British man. Can kick some major ass and of course add a little bit of broken and you got the perfect romance man.
Romance
As usual to Cherry's wonderful books, always full of steamy, dirty (in this case), sexy romance and sex. Two great fitting characters that compliment each other wonderfully.
Suspense
And of course another perfect Cherry book wouldn't be completely without plenty of gun shooting, car chasing, hand to hand combat, life and death situations all in the exciting and dusty city of Egypt. Which I've always been a bit fascinated and in awe of Egypt's ancient beauty and mystery.
Didn't Like
I really wish there would have been one more chapter of wrapping things up, I know the wrap of stuff would have all been implied stuff but I still would have loved to have read it anyways.
Recommendation
Must read for those romance readers that love a good exciting fast pace book.What I Loved
