I loved KISS AND TELL by Ms. Adair but I'm sorry to say I was disappointed in HIDE AND SEEK. The plot was somewhat unbelievable. For one thing, the idea of the heroine being hired as a "companion" to a homosexual man is quite a stretch, when that man is a rich cassino owner she had only met a short time before. Delanie poses as a bimbo dancer and convinces Ramon to take her to his headquarters, where she hopes to find her sister Lauren, who was last seen with Ramon in Las Vegas but hasn't been heard from since.

Dr. Kyle Wright, is a T-FLAC operative working undercover to bring down drug lord Ramon Montero, who plans on producing and then selling the small pox virus to terrorists. He finds Delanie Eastman at Ramon's compound posing as Montero's girlfriend. She is the one woman he can't forget from an encounter four years ago when she chose him for a "one night stand" to lose her virginity. Thus begins the story as each try to decide whether the other is a good guy or bad guy.

One of the things I disliked about this book the most (because I can suspend disbelief with the best of them) was the way Kyle treated Delanie, for someone who said he couldn't forget her after their one night stand he treated her like dirt. The opening sentence should have warned me this man had no respect for women but I kept reading anyway.

It wasn't that this was a bad book but I had so looked forward to this book after reading Kiss and Tell that maybe my expectations were just to high.

VERY GOOD
