Absolute Doubt
In a situation this volatile, something is bound to blow!
Three...
T-FLAC operative Asher Daklin is running out of time in his race to end the production and sale of the word's most deadly explosive before a cataclysmic terrorist event occurs. This op isn't just his last chance at redemption, it’s deeply personal. Because of him, E-1x took his brother’s life and nearly incapacitated him. Now, with the timer counting down the remaining hours, he has to go deep under cover at the home of the mastermind producing the deadly explosive and stop him. Daklin can't allow anything, or anyone, to distract him from his mission.
Two...
Lingerie designer River Sullivan is on a mission of her own—to find her genius brother. When millions of dollars are inexplicably wired to her account she knows he's trouble. Traveling to the small mining town of Los Santos, situated in the mountainous jungles of Cosio, she accepts the hospitality of her brother’s employer and searches for clues as to Oliver whereabouts. If only she wasn’t overcome with inappropriate lust for one of the other house guests- a gorgeous bishop with a warrior’s body and laser-sharp eyes that hint at deep, dark secrets.
One!
River and Daklin find themselves in a race against time, hampered by staggering odds and overwhelming desire. Daklin has one final, desperate chance to prove himself, keep River safe, and save the day...

About the author
Cherry Adair
77 books1,468 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.”

3.5/5.0
The suspense was great, the romance not so much. No believable relationship, just sex.

Despite being slow to grab my interest, I did really enjoy this T-FLAC book. It's a slow start to a new series and definitely entertaining and sexy! Looking forward to the next book in the series.

We finally have another T-Flac book! We meet Daklin, our T-Flac operative, as he's trying to get to his brother, Josh. After Josh's death, he falls into alcohol to take away his pain and grief. Then he goes on an op to Los Santos. This is where he meets River. The world is about to be blown apart by a new explosive called E-1x. It's being mined out of an emerald mine. There's a lot of action and excitement happening in the book. And we always have a bit of wild monkey sex! We learn a lot from Daklin as he tries to save the world, knowing that he probably won't survive. but River is there to kick his butt into gear! This is another great book from Cherry Adair. I love it! Now for the wait until we get our next T-Flac book. this is a voluntary review of an advanced copy

There’s a reason Cherry Adair is an automatic buy for many. She’s a pro at creating unforgettable characters in seemingly impossible situations who manage to save the day and fall in love all while dodging bullets, wildlife, weather, and anything else she can think to throw at them!
I was hooked right from the start of this story. She rips the heart out of the lead character, Daklin, who loses his younger brother in horrible bomb blast.
He makes it his life’s goal to stop those who make and produce this deadly weapon of destruction.
This book is a little racier than some of her earlier T-Flac stories, but has a strong plotline that allowed me to bypass those areas and keep reading.
I give Absolute Doubt 4 lovely stars

T-FLAC is finally back; explosions, hot hot guys, sex, and sick terrorists!!! Fast paced action, with cameos from previous books but it can be read as a stand alone book. River is a sexy but kick-ass heroine; Ash is a hot, angst-ridden hero who can't get over the death of his brother. The chemistry between these two sets the sheets on fire!

Fantastic!
Love, loved this book. It has been awhile since I have read a book this heart pounding! Read it all in one sitting which meant I sat for hours. Couldn't move, couldn't breathe half the time because it is fast paced, adventurous and oh so much fun.

Very exciting adventure romance
Ash and River have it tough when they first meet at a terrorist's hacienda. Her brother is missing and she is very attracted to Ash who is masquerading as a Catholic bishop! She is a distraction that he doesn't need. Both of them have many issues to deal with. I loved the way this started. The action continued to build throughout the entire story. I enjoyed watching Ash and River grow and develop. The back-up characters were great too.
If you like your romance filled with deadly action and adventure, along with many steamy scenes and interesting characters, then you will like this one. There were some characters from previous T-FLAC books, but you don't have to read them first. It is a good introduction to the series. See what you think! Enjoy.

This book is packed full of adventure, with some steamy romance scenes. I love adventure, as they were the first type of books I read growing up - before I discovered romance - so combine the two and I'm happy. 🙂 It's well written and the romance feels slow burn, although I stress this is a very long book and in real time, it's insta-lust, as main events in this story take place all within around three days. be aware - an abrupt ending and no epilogue for lovers of those.
There are terrorists, counter terrorists, jungle, explosions, action, a damaged and scarred hero, murders, a feisty heroine, and creepy bad guys. I did have issues with some events v time lines and situations, but other than that, read this for fun and escapism. The romance is fairly superficial, so don't expect much angst, apart from the hero battling alcohol, although it really isn't explored in depth. 4.5 stars.

After her Genius Biochemist brother goes missing, River Sullivan travels to Cosio, S. A., looking for him. Undercover T-FLAC agent Asher Daklin and his team are in place to shut down a mine the produced a dangerous explosive. "Bishop" Daklin wants River to go home, but River won't leave without finding out what happened to her brother. Time is ticking, tension is high, attraction is as well. Cherry does it again. This book was a great read for me.

So happy T-Flac is back!!! Action, adventure, and of course wild monkey sex. Asher Daklin is a man fighting his demons and ready to give up until he meets River Sullivan.
Cherrry Adair keeps you riveted with this story.

Cherry Adair is back with a bang. I loved this book so much. Everything about this book is explosive. I am so in love with Asher. A man with a death wish who defuses bombs. River, who is having unsavoury thoughts about a bishop named Asher, is a lingerie designer, looking for her missing brother. A jungle in South America, and you have fireworks in more ways than one. Evil in the air, a T-Flac op in full mode, and one ducks when the shit hits the fan. Love. Love. Love. Hooked from page one, right to the end. A must read book!!! This is a three book series and need the second one now!
Who doesn't love a man who has flaws on his last leg?
A woman who stubborn and determined to find her brother, while everyone is trying to send back home to Portland. As Cherry did say, a Bishop and one lingerie designer what could possible go wrong? I am smiling to myself as I wrote that because with Cherry anything and everything and does.
Thank you again for the fun ride with twists and turns.
More Fallen T-Flacs operatives please. :)

Absolute Doubt by Cherry Adair
Action, extreme adventure and romance. So much good stuff in this book.
A counter-terrorist organization against a sociopath. A hero and heroine who both are honorable, stubborn and loyal. And instantly attracted to each other.
Totally loved reading this book. It is part of a series, but absolutely can be read alone.
"She might be a lingerie designer, but she was as kick ass as they came."
Excerpt:
“I work for T-FLAC. It's a private counterterrorist organization. We go after the biggest and baddest tangos around the world."
"Sounds like a non-stick frying pan."
He smiled. "Terrorist Force Logistical Assault Command."
A counterterrorist operative. That made more sense than his being a bishop. "Is your name really Ash Daklin, or is that an alias?"
"When I build a legend, I stick as close to the truth as I can. That's my real name. Everyone calls me Daklin.”

T-flac is back and hotter than ever! Asher Daklin is a man in pain..physical and mental. Too much loss has made him a broken man. On a mission to find a way out of the pain his answer shows up in the form of River Sullivan. Unfortunately it's in the worst possible time and the worst possible place.
This book is HOT!! Fast paced and action packed! From page one to the very last page! It has everything that was expected from a Cherry Adair book!
I loved it!

I just loved this book! It was an exhilarating read. There's a lot angst in the book. It touches all the feels. With the help of a good woman the hero might just be able to lose some of his guilt and find love, Get this book and find out for yourself!
