About the author
Cherry Adair
77 books1,470 followersAlways an adventurer in life as well as writing, New York Times best-selling author Cherry Adair moved halfway across the globe from Cape Town, South Africa to the United States in her early years to become a interior designer. Now a resident of the Pacific Northwest she shares the award- winning adventures of her fictional T-FLAC counter terrorism operatives with her readers.
Cherry settled in beautiful San Francisco, where she started what eventually became a thriving interior design business. "I loved being a designer because it was varied and creative, and I enjoyed working with the public." A voracious reader when she was able to carve out the time, Cherry found her brain crowded with characters and stories of her own. "Eventually," she says, "the stories demanded to be told."
When asked why she chooses to write romantic action adventure, she says, "Who says you can’t have adventure and a great love life? Of course if you’re talking about an adventurous love life, that’s another thing altogether. I write romantic suspense coupled heart-pounding adventure because I like to entertain, and nothing keeps readers happier than a rollercoaster read, followed by a happy ending."
Popular on the workshop circuit, Cherry gives lively classes on writing and the writing life. Pulling no punches when asked how to become a published writer, Cherry insists, "Sit your butt in the chair and write. There's no magic to it. Writing is hard work. It isn't for sissies or whiners."
Cherry loves to spend time at home. A corner desk keeps her focused on writing, but the windows behind her, with a panoramic view of the front gardens, are always calling her to come outside and play. Her office has nine-foot ceilings, a fireplace, a television and built-in bookcases that will house approximately 3,500 paperback books.
"What can I say? My keeper shelf has been breeding in the middle of the night, rather like drycleaners' wire clothes hangers.”

I am trying to finish up the entire T-FLAC Series this year. Several of the books, I have not cared for at all. Most have been pretty good, if you suspend reality, that is. But even with the totally unreal world these operatives exist in, I've got to admit these books are fun. This second chance at love romance between Hannah and Grey is explosive (literally) and hot. The only thing I would change is the takedown of the baddie.
Hannah Endicott is a woman on a mission: Get back the money stolen from the Moms and trounce Colton Burke for taking it. One after the other of Colton's "business" ventures have failed and now he has taken all the money his mom and Hannah's mom have saved. A world of hurt awaits this guy when Hannah gets her hands on him. Landing on a super lux yacht off the coast of Ecuador was not in the plan.
Grayson Burke is the T-FLAC operative in charge of finding the terrorist Stonefish before he can obtain enough weapons to take over a small South American country and then the world. The target is on a super lux yacht off the coast of Ecuador and T-FLAC is going to spoil his party, big time.
When Grey discovers the woman he has always loved and lost three years ago and his asshat brother on board the yacht, he knows the op is not going to end well. Then Hannah, between having a diabetic episode and berating him for disappearing from her life for three years, tells him there is a bomb set to explode in thirty minutes. Way to bury the lead, Hannah. Now all Grey has to do is save the woman he loves and his asshat brother, find the cache of diamonds, find and capture the baddie and all before they are blown to kingdom come. All in a day's work for a T-FLAC operative.

The men of T-FLAC are back and they are sexier, hotter and more awesome than ever!
This time around the author takes us on the journey of to-die-for-sex-on-legs-make-my-knees-go-weak-take-me-now-am yours Grayston!
In the middle of the most important mission of his career he comes face to face with the one and only woman he has ever loved and also left at the altar three years ago.
He immediately goes into high alert, he needs to get her out of harms way along with his idiot brother and not to mention he needs to ensure this mission turns out successful.
For anyone that knows this authors books you will immediately know that for her characters such as Grayston this is all in a days work and no problem at all!
Grayston and Hannah were both phenomenally crafted by the author and I could not stop myself from wanting to jump up and start rooting for them from the first words written.
Hannah is a true kick ass heroine that stands up for herself and others, and takes no prisoners in getting to her goal. Yes, she does bounce out of control every now and then when she sees a dead body by hey us females are allowed our girl-y moments whilst still trying to uphold that fighting spirit!
Grayston did not only completely entrance me from page one ( okay I know the man is hot and therefore guaranteed to entrance any woman) but it was more his inner turmoil that grabbed my attention. I simply had to keep reading to find out what happened to him and the author kept me on the edge of seat with the suspense and when she popped the cherry it was like an instant explosion of "Now that makes total sense", proving once again this author knows exactly how to get a readers attention and hold it till the very last word is written.
Backdrop settings were vividly described, guns blazing, bombs going boom, fists cracking you name it, it was all there , it was if I was apart of the war zone and madness happening.
The dialogue was classic Cherry Adair, full of wild, crazy, sensual oh so sexy heat and passion, but also with that perfect dose of emotional kicker moments that balanced it all into perfection!
Adair has once again shown why she is able to captivate her audience with an extreme large dose of action, kick ass hero's,strong confident heroines, masses of bad guys, one seriously awesome plot and an adventure you will never forget! A sure shot read that will aim right for every adrenalin screaming bone in your body!
Go forth and read Cherry Adair , I-a-dare you!

Lots of suspense, action and some steamy romance scenes in this well written second chance romance novella. 3.5 stars. 🙂

I've been ripping on the last batch of T-FLAC books because they've just been awful. It's been quite a few books since anything decent, and the books we've gotten are boring, repetitive, and derivative. Well, this book actually had my attention, and I enjoyed it. That may, in part, have been due to the fact that it's a novella, so the author couldn't go overboard on the suspense elements like she normally does. We finally got a streamlined story without all the extra junk we normally get. It was nice.
Hannah Endicott just wanted to get her mother's money back from her business. Her "best friend" said he invested it, and by "invested it," he meant transferred it into diamonds from some terrorists. Whoops. Now she's on a yacht, and what's worst? Her ex-fiancé--the one who disappeared and didn't go to their wedding--shows up out of the blue and says he's chasing down these terrorists. Hannah is low on insulin and really mad at Grayson Burke, but she'll need him in order to survive. And when she learns the truth about him, she might change her tune about him.
Grayson Burke is a T-FLAC operative, and his fiancée never knew. He was going to tell her...eventually...after they married. But, unfortunately, that never happened because he was captured by a sadistic terrorist and tortured for months--right during the time of his wedding. When he was finally rescued, it took him a year to recover enough for him to stumble out of the hospital and go to Hannah. However, it looked as if she'd moved on by then, and knowing how broken he had become, he decided that she'd be better off without him. Well, now it's finally time to get revenge on that terrorist, but to Grayson's surprise, Hannah is on the targeted boat. He still loves her, and she--at least--is attracted to him. But he has to get her out of this situation first before he can explain everything because he isn't letting her go this time.
The highlight of the book was the drama of the disappearing fiancé angle. That was the money-maker right there, and the thing I was most interested in. The insulin issue also was interesting, but the rest of the suspense elements was traditional, overdone T-FLAC stuff. But as I said, it was novella-sized, so it wasn't long and drawn-out. If it had been a regular-sized book with the normal amount of action Adair puts in her T-FLAC books as of late, it would have ruined it.

This is a T-FLAC novella and it has all the terrorists, shooting, adrenaline inducing moments and wild chases you expect when these elite operatives are involved. It also has a awesome hero and heroine in Grayson and Hannah.
When Grayson's brother Colton inadvertently drags Hannah into a terrorist plot, it's a total coincidence that Gray is there to save the day. She's there to get the money back Colton has stolen, nothing more. The last thing she expects to see is Gray.
Watch as the sparks between these two fly as fast as the bullets, passion flares and the bad guys get what they deserve. All trademark Adair.
Its interesting and different that the heroine Hannah is a type 1 diabetic, she proves that she can hold her own while fighting off an old flame, running from the bad guys and having hot monkey sex, with said old flame. Nothing holds her back, certainly not being a diabetic.
This is a great addition to the T-FLAC family and I look forward to more. Hint hint :)

A new Cherry Adair book... and it is sooo very good!!
No one does romantic suspense like Cherry Adair does and this book is in good company with all of the others!
A novella about T-flac operative Grayson Burke. While on a mission to bring down his arch nemesis Stonefish on board the floating mansion, Stone's Throw, who does he come across?? The woman who got away..Hannah Endicott. The love of his life..also the one who left him. Can he bring down the bad guys and be able to bring Hannah back into his life for good?
Really Really great story!

This may have been a novella, but I really enjoyed the story. I liked that the heroine didn't rely on the hero to save her, she had her own plans mapped out. I love that Cherry writes characters that you stand up and root for, they aren't static and cut from a mold, they are vibrant and interesting. I love a good series and this series has enough character in the characters to keep me interested for a long time.

Another T-FLAC book by Cherry Adair. I won't go into the storyline--it's a short one and I don't want to give it away. Just know that Hannah and Grayson had something special 3 years ago and he's determined this time around that no terrorist or anyone else will get in the way of having Hannah and that something special back.
April 12, 2014
I really enjoyed Hannah and Grayson's story. It was fun and action-filled. The twist of Hannah being diabetic was interesting and well entwined. Cherry did a great job with that. Another awesome addition to her popular T-FLAC series.

Wanted more action. Good love story. Hope to see them again in other T-Aflac books. Looking forward to reading all of these books

Fun romantic suspense, though I got a bit bored in the middle. Loved Grayson. He was the total alpha man package. Hannah, I could take or leave.
August 29, 2016
T-Flac Operative Grayson Burke has finally found the bad guy he has been searching years for. He and his team board the yacht under the cover of darkness, only to discover his brother Colton is mixed up in the mess, along with Hannah Endicott, the woman he left at the alter 3 years before, the only woman he has ever loved.
Hannah is already quite angry at Colton. He has "borrowed" hers, and his mom's life savings for a "sure thing" deal. All Hannah wants is to get the moms' money back, and get back to her life. Needless to say, she's not happy when Gray shows up unexpectedly.
Gray and his men proceed with the mission to capture Stonefish. A gun fight breaks out, and the yacht is quickly abandoned just before it blows sky high. Hannah, a Diabetic. has been without meds, so the new mission becomes getting her Diabetes under control, and quickly to safety. On the plane out of Ecuador, sparks fly, and Gray and Hannah must decide if they can recapture what they once had.
Once again, Cherry throws it all in this story. Action, Suspense, Romance, and Twists and Turns. That's exactly why I love her books!

Ricochet by Cherry Adair
T-Flac operative Grayson Burke is on a mission and unbelievably finds his lost love on board the yacht. Hannah Endicott has always loved Grayson, but thinking him one of the bad guys, chose an alternate path. Now he's saved her life and knows he's really one of the good guys. Maybe she needs to rethink her options.
Wow, sparks fly on this quick paced T-Flac short story. It's like being dropped into the middle of a wild storm. Instant attraction, heart pounding stress, and deep history of emotion that is soon front and center.
I especially like strong, self confident women and Hannah fits that description. Even when things aren't going especially well.
"She was pretty sure she could open her own damned drink but right now she couldn't quite figure out how."

I'm a huge Cherry Adair fan and one of my favorite series is the TFLAC series. This was a short, but sweet TFLAC book with great characters. Hannah and Grayson are both very well written hero and heroine. I love that Cherry Adair always makes both hero and heroine very capable and strong. Never weak and boring. My only downfall with this book was that it was so short and usually with all her TFLAC novels there is as much suspense as there is romance, this one was lacking that suspense for me, but still a great story! I would definitely recommend everyone reading all her TFLAC books and this is no exception!

Fast paced, high action and classic Adair wit and suspense. This book takes a unique heroine with diabetes, and draws her into an international espionage. Enter an old flame and you have the classic wrong place, wrong time, worst luck ever scenario. I loved Hannah for her sharp wit and quick thinking. Grayson is a great hero with a serious history he has to overcome with Hannah. She doesn't give in to him easily and I loved the tension between these two as the bullets flew. Another wonderful T-Flac book.

T-FLAC is back! There are not too many short stories that I feel are complete, but Cherry Adair nails it from beginning to end in this fast paced, action packed suspense, and you do not want to miss the hot interactions between Grayson and Hannah. If you have never read one of Cherry’s books this would be a great one to start with. But don’t be surprised if you find yourself wanting to read every one of them when you are finished. I highly recommend reading Ricochet.

I had to keep reminding myself it was a novella. I think because of the brevity, it just wasn't what I expect from Ms. Adair.
Hot T-FLAK operatives, woman in distress, bad guys about to blow a ship sky high...yup it was all in there. It just all went by to fast and tidy. I never developed any feelings for Gray and Hannah, I wasn't invested in the outcome.
Also, it really annoys me when an e-book is poorly edited!
It's a quick diversion.

What a great paced exciting book, every page has something awesome! Action, sexual tension and steamy scenes on every page, never a dull moment!
The only thing that was lacking was more pages, I want more! Gimme!
At first I wasn't so sure on the whole main character having diabetes, but it brought a whole different perspective to a character who isn't perfect and actually has to think about her health for once vs characters who are perfect and have nothing to worry about.

Another brilliant read by Cherry Adair. Fast packed lots of action yet great play between the main characters Gray and Hannah. Past history, she hates him and fate brings them back together in the most dangerous situation, terrorist, diamonds, bombs and shot out and sparks flying from the couple. What will she do when she finds out the truth what he does for a living and why he didn't turn up for their wedding. Amongst all this she has to deal with diabetes. Loved it!
November 15, 2013
Vey hot intense story I know it was a novella but still too short! Gray is perfect the sex is hot and it had a great happy ending. Hannah deserved nothing less I'm waiting for more stories from the tflac series!!

Another great T-Flac story by Cherry Adair. This one may have been short but it sure packed a big size punch. I really liked the interaction between Grayson and Hannah in this book, and how Hannah didn't let her diabetes prevent her from keeping up with everyone else.
