Horrible! I hate a made up country, I really despise a "down on her luck working Princess" and any woman who'd land on a small ship wearing 5 inch heels gets what she deserves. 1 star

I love Cherry Adair books, and this one was just as wonderful as her other books.

Riptide is the second book in the Cutter Cay series and it's Nick "Mr. Spock" Cutter's story. At first I didn't really like either of the main characters (Bria is a bit too "fashionista smartass" for me, and Nick is Mr Iceman). Aside from some intense sexual heat, Nick and Bria didn't really like each other at all at first - they got on each other's nerves big time and neither one wanted to be anywhere NEAR the other. I prefer when at least one or the other of the main characters has it bad for the other. But I'm so glad I struggled through the beginning parts, because it definitely picked up. As with most Cherry Adair books, there is an unbalanced ratio of action and romance... the action and mystery and intrigue definitely take center stage with Nick and Bria's sexual attraction closing in on the edges. It took a long time for them to admit, even to themselves, that they were actually having feelings for the other, but there was definitely a softening on both sides, and the adventure aspect.... I felt like I was reading Indiana Jones meets Romancing the Stone meets Die Hard. There is buried treasure and diamond smugglers and haughty queens and dead bodies on top of a sizzling romance. Cherry Adair - you got me! I was almost hyperventilating from panic while reading the climactic scene (chapters of it!). It was almost over-the-top with the way everything happened, but still so, so good. How can I possibly wait until next YEAR for the next story? Thankfully there is a long lost brother, so that means TWO more Cutter books.
