This was a step back for me as I thought I'd read all of Ms. Adair's books. It was a nice trip away from the cloak and dagger of her other's but none the less enjoyable. If you've read any of Ms. Adair's more recent work you won't be disappointed.

So as numerous reviewers have pointed out the storyline here is weak- but all of Cherry Adair's heroines are these virginal types who go for brutish guys ( with a few exceptions- read Seducing Mr Right) Moving right along- what this book lacks in story it makes up for in the pure Penthouse letters appeal- there is a kinky scene with these Chinese balls in an elevator.... The heroine may start out a virgin but once she begins pursuing her husband and becomes his mistress all bets are off as are their clothes!
This is pure fantasy- it is not about anything more than a fun fluffy journey into never never land for ADULTS. I read Cherry Adair when I want to be whisked away.... at least her characters are multi-dimensional. I read all these raves about another author who is known for her sexy military books and I don't get those at all.... For more steam your glasses reading from Cherry Adair pick up Seducing Mr Right- it is a cute romance with passion and some fun dialog and her signature STEAM

Business exec Joshua Falcon is used to getting his way in the boardroom- and in the bedroom. And when he meets gorgeous Jessie Adams at a party, he wants her. Now. Naked in his four-poster. Together the two of them could have a hot sexual affair- with no commitments. ** That suits Jessie to a T. Long nights of incredible sex. No ties. All she wants is a baby by the man she's aways secretly hungered for... and then she's moving on. Except Jessie and Joshua share a surprising past. One that's about to take them where they never ever expected to go..

Okey Dokey,........ here I was at the bookstore picking out a few of these innocent little Harlequins & I picked up HB # 51 'Take Me' by Cherry Adair. Yes, I knew that Harlequin had moved into this century - I just had NO idea how far they had moved! lol Now for the book:
All joking aside, this is an excellent love story. I laughed, chuckled, grinned, (& yes, turned red), & just darn near cried towards the end. I really had fun reading this & totally fell in love with both Joshua & Jessie. I read the whole thing in a 5 hr sitting; couldn't bear to put it down to finish tomorrow. Cherry Adair doesn't just know how to write hot scenes - she knows how to write a love story. I will have to look around for more books by this author. This will definitely be on my keepers-shelf.

I can't believe this book is up for a RITA! I have heard mixed reviews on this book. Mostly I hear the word "HOT"! That doesn't tell me much.First, was this book written in the 1970's? Seriously, this book seems so dated and caveman like. Joshua is a throwback to those he-men of past who like to have mistresses and total and complete control. Add to the fact that the story has a preposterous premise and you get one star. I am surprised that so many women were not offended by this masochistic story. Big he-man Josh needs a wife. Enter virginal waitress Jessica. He marries her in a quickie wedding then, he leaves her. He only needs a wife for business/inheritance purposes. He doesn't see Jessie for seven yrs. In that seven yrs. Jess decides she needs a baby, but surprise, she is still a virgin, please!She tracks down Josh. Of course he doesn't remember her, even though they are still married. Do you think he might have checked up on her once during that time? Of course not. He has spent his life making himself rich. He also seems to aquire mistresses but only for twelve months at a time. Can you say "JOHN"? This story is so far out there it is almost comedy. The funniest thing is the author falls back on the old, I was neglected as a child routine which is suppose to explain why Josh is a whiny, overbearing caveman. I find it funny that we as readers are still suppose to believe that Jessie kept herself pure for some reason, oops! guess it was to save herself for Josh because guess what? Jessie is an interior designer, but not really, ya see Jessie really wants Josh's baby. She is a homebody at heart. She is one of those good girls who only wants hearth and home. She also takes tons of verbal abuse from Josh so why she would want him to father her child is beyond me.
