Review: Hurricane by Cherry Adair
Hurricane by Cherry Adair (Cutter Bay #5) Released: April 4, 2017 Romantic Suspense St. Martin's Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "She was so horny her eyeballs throbbed." Back in the day, I read quite a bit of Cherry Adair (remember her T-Flac series??? Those were my crack.). She writes fun, steamy romances and we get that with Hurricane.

Hero: Max. Bodyguard. Has no time for the antics of the spoiled princess. Heroine: Princess Alexandra. Has no time for the brooding, bossy bodyguard. [spoiler]"Princess," he says, so low and throaty that I'm close to coming just at the sound of it. I imagine him repeating the word over and over as he thrusts his cock inside me, bringing me right to the edge and then crashing over it. "I'm not sure you're going to like your punishment."
