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. Her saucy and sexy style irresistible, Adair is a bright new star in the romance genre!--Alison Trinkle

I would not recommend this book...OK...Maybe you will call me picky but I am looking for the original...the gutsy portrat of human feelings and souls...true conflicts and passions when I pick a book....well written and intense captivating stories...the same old, same old doesn't do it for me anymore...so If I don't find that "it" factor that screams these characters have skin and blood and their guts are clearly portrayed through pages filed with a narative that flows ...I just won't say I liked what I read...There is a lot to the romance style and it will never be what it can be if we always settle for the same old cliche....SO far, the only writter that has fully accomplished that... in my opinion... is Diana Gabaldon...that my friends is a good writter...but I'll kep on searching...keep on siping from all authors and books that fall on my lap...I want to find more amazing romance writters and novels....I a sure I will....but Kiss and Tell was not one of those...sorry

I had written a long review on this novel, but appearantly it vanished. When I started this, I thought it had an interesting if a bit familiar premise, but as I read I found a seriously flawed romantic thriller with some BIG PLOT HOLES. Basically, you have a spunky heroine with a heart problem who trys to get away from her pathologically overprotective family after the death of her beloved Grandmother. She runs into the Lone Ranger..I mean Jake "Tin Man" Dolan. Jake Dolan has major trust issues and is written like a third-rate Jean Claud Van Damme role. These two are convineatly sexually attracted to each other almost immediately, but his issues prevent them from getting together. Then the Cannon Fodder baddies come, and they start to connect. Dolan tries to be noble, and sends her away, but of course she cannot stay away thus setting up a predictable climax, and afterwards, Dolan manages to lose my respect as he lets the heroine's brothers dictate their sister's life. Don't waste your money on this book.
