5.0 out of 5 stars
Action Filled Romantic Suspense, August 30, 2002
Cherry Adair's "In Too Deep" is her most spectacular novel yet. Tally Cruise, at her biological Dad's invitation, has come to the beautiful, private island Paradise that he owns. Finally, for the first time in her life, her estranged father wants to see her. No sooner does she arrive, then explosions and life threatening things begin happening around her. Ex Navy SEAL Michael Wright rescues her. But Michael has is own agenda to get rid of Tally's father who cost him his eye, his career, and the death of his best friend. The action is non-stop excitement, the sex really sizzles, and the dialogue is witty and funny. Adair does a really good job in developing her characters - their passions and their fears, their strengths and their weaknesses. It's nice to find a book where you truly like both the lead characters, and truly hate some of the evil ones. Its also nice once more see the rest of the Wright family that we met in the first two books - Marnie and Jake, Kyle and Delanie, and a couple twin brothers, Kane and Derek, whose tales I'm sure will follow in books to come. Grab a copy of this book quickly - you will love it!

Steamy Romance by Cherry Adair, August 28, 2002
With her typical cornball sense of humor, Cherry Adair tells the story of Michael Wainwright (an ex-Navy SEAL on an unofficial mission to avenge the death of his best friend) and Tally Cruise (estranged daughter of the man Michael intends to kill). There is so much going on in this thriller it is difficult to sum even half of it up. Michael is a pretty decent - if comical at times - hero. How could you not snicker just a little at a one eyed, tough as nails, ex-Seal with a water phobia, and a three-legged cat? Or a woman who seems to be so extremely clumsy she can hardly stand up on her own two feet, shows no fear of anyone, yet is afraid of the dark? In Too Deep is a pretty decent novel once you get past the first four chapters. It just seems that the beginning is kind of stilted, and the humor seems forced at first. After awhile, you get into the story and the characters; by the end of the book I caught myself thinking Hmmm that was pretty good! I would rate this novel R. Lots and lots of sex scenes the first of which happens the very first night they meet. And there are so many scenes that are almost relevant to the plot, I wouldnt advise skipping them completely if you do that sort of thing. And the language can best be described as salty at best. Violence isnt all that bad Tally gets the crud beat out of her on a regular basis. And what she does to one particular assailant made me laugh (and wince) until I cried!

Too much violence, not enough romance, February 4, 2003
By A Customer
This is the third book about members of the Wright family finding the love of their lives. Of the three, Kiss and Tell, Hide and Seek and this one, I like the Kiss and Tell featuring Marnie Wright best. It is more of a romance, while the other books are too action packed for my likening, with storylines that are totally over the top, bordering on the ridicilous in Hide and Seek. This book, "In Too Deep", is filled with people beating the hero and heroine up. Around every corner seems to be lurking someone, ready to attack the heroine Tally. And although she squeezes or kicks every attacker in the nuts, she gets a thorough beating, which is all described into every gory detail, as are the beatings that the hero, Michael Wright, must suffer towards the end. All this violence spoiled the book for me. Even the better "romance"scenes could not made up for it, such as the verbal bantering between Michael en Tally, and one of the best ... scenes ever: how a pearl necklace can give a lot of satisfaction....!
