I didn't care for this book as much as the previous in the T-FLAC series. It felt like the author rushed getting this book "out" and it wasn't edited or well thought out. There was a lot of reiteration of information (my pet peeve). A lot of speculating the 3 W's: who, when, where. Meetings and in-depth discussions that went nowhere.
If it doesn't contribute to the story, it shouldn't be there.

I liked this book in the Edge series, having not read a book by Cherry Adair before my sister lent me the first book, I was impressed with her writing style and the way she blended the paranormal with her characters every day life. I just recently reread this the first book, realizing that I never did finish the series. This story came out in 2006 and was one of the first of it's kind. After rereading this book I got sucked into the story again, and the need to know if these brothers were succes...more
Dr. Eden Cahill is making tremendous strides in artificial intelligence when the robot she has nearly finished is stolen by a terrorist group. Before her mentor, who is mortally wounded during the attack, dies, he tells her to destroy everything and DO NOT TRUST anybody. She has kept the true capabilities to herself a secret. T-FLAC, a secret government agency in anti-terrorism, sends Gabriel Edge, a member of the psy division and a well renown wizard, to get into Eden's brain in order to abstra...more
First off, let me be honest and say I HATE reading books with magic. And wizards. I really do. Both are as confusing as trying to decipher the meaning of a song by ELO. I wanted to try this author and decided to buy the Edge trilogy when I found it at the store. No research, just found the 3 connected books and bought them on a whim. To my utter dismay, the first freaking book contained both magic and wizardry. Fantastic. Which means the other two do, too. All sarcasm aside, it actually turned o...more
Edge of Danger is the first of the Edge brothers trilogy who all happen to be TFLAC operatives with special powers. Gabriel Edge is the oldest of the Edge brothers and never plans to marry due to a family curse that was put on his family centuries ago by a witch that his many times great-grandfather was engaged to, but did not marry because he fell in love with someone else. Gabriel is assigned to penetrate the mind of Eden Cahill so they can rebuild an artificial intelligence robot she created...more
As an anti-terrorism operative in T-FLAC’s classified paranormal unit, the intrepid, ruggedly handsome Gabriel Edge protects the world from the forces of evil. So when an ingenious and extremely volatile invention is stolen from a covert lab in Arizona, Gabriel zeroes in on the brilliant young scientist who helped to create the device. From Gabriel’s first contact, Eden Cahill leaves an indelible impression.

OK, it's silly.
OK, it's soft-erotica. (very soft)
But after all, the main character is named Gabriel Edge ... how many books have that?
The fun part was seeing how the traditional romance structure was integrated in an interesting terrorist plot. Adding in the paranormal aspects (wizards, especially when I'm rereading the Dresden Files) also boosted the end result. Sure, the world building was a little too minimal for my taste (why did the wizards have certain abilities and not others? How do the...more

Haven't I read this story before? No? I guess it just seems that way. I do like TFLAC more than some of the other paranormal anti-terrorist groups (GhostWalkers).
This is book 8 in the T-FLAC series and book 1 of the Edge Brothers T-FLAC/ Psi-Ops sub-series. I know, it's a little confusing at first. See, there's this counter-terrorist organization called T-FLAC and Cherry Adair has a whole big series about the men and women who work for the organization. Within T-FLAC there is a paranormal branc...more

This was a great book! I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it. It's book #8 in Cherry Adair's T-FLAC series & the 1st book in the Edge trilogy. I thoroughly enjoyed the T-FLAC series so far, & her introduction of the "psi" branch of T-FLAC (it contains wizards with paranormal abilities) is such a cool addition to the already rockin series. This book has all the action of the usual T-FLAC books plus an ultra hot wizard(Gabriel Edge) who just can't keep his hands off of his woman(...more

This is my first Cherry Adair book. I liked the premiss. I loved the insane idea of a real Scottish Castle in Montana. It made me smile. Eden is an intellegent woman with little interest in anything but her work. She has no self confidence outside of her science. Gabriel is a man, a wizard, who deals in magic not science. He is also an intense agent fighting terrorism. The men in his family has lived for centuries under a curse insures each of thier true loves will die. Together Gabriel and Eden...more
Ugh. Adair tried for erotica and managed to be merely repetitive and annoying. Yeah, I get it: they lust after each other. Stop telling me that and get on with the story. Oh wait, there's not much of a story if you take out all the sex, talking about sex, and thinking about sex. Which is too bad, because the premise had promise. (Rogue wizard killing other wizards to get their powers and using an indestructible robot as a weapon of mass destruction must be stopped by team of good wizards and the...more

I love the Edge Brothers! No neck-biters in this paranormal series but lots of magic! Three brothers, all dedicated to fighting terrorists as part of the T-FLAC operation, all 'gifted' with wizardly powers. Of course there's a downside!
Before you get to page 1, you read about the spell cast upon their forefather by the witch he jilted in favor of marrying the village debutante some 500 years before. So this is where my logical brain takes a left turn...

THE EDGE BROTHERS COULDN'T BE ANY HOTTER IF CHERRY SET THEM ON FIRE WHICH SHE KIND OF DOES LATER ON IN THE SERIES. GABRIEL"S STORY IS PRETTY HOT WITH HIM BEING INVISIBLE AND SEDUCING EDEN INTO CLIMAX! HE DOES THIS IN ORDER TO LOWER HER WALLS SO THAT HE CAN GET INTO HER MIND WITHOUT HER KNOWING AND WITHOUT HIM BEING IN DANGER OF TRULY FALLING FOR HIS LIFE MATE! THE EDGE BROTHERS ARE HOT, YOU CAN'T MISS THEM!!!
This just didn't do it for me. I guess I'm not willing enough to suspend my disbelief to get hooked by a paranormal. No. That's not entirely true. I did enjoy the Nora Roberts' books with light paranormal elements. I guess it really boiled down to the characters here. We were told throughout how much attraction there was, but I suppose it didn't really seem all that authentic.
This is the first book in a triology about three wizard brothers. They work for T-Flac in the paranormal division. The background of the series is the Edge family is cursed. There will be three sons born every generation and their lifemate will each die. When Gabriel meets Eden Cahill and realizes that she is his lifemate, he has some decisions to make. Read the book and see what he decides to do. It’s a good book and I recommend it to everybody.
I was kind of surprised with this book. I didn't expect the wizard angle of things and quite frankly, I liked the others better. The books were spectacular without the paranormal and, in my opinion, I found that adding wizardry kind of took something out of the book instead of adding to it. Nevertheless, it's a good book.
I really like military romance. It is my favorite genre. I really felt once the paranormal aspect was added it just killed the series. I have nothing against paranormal books I read them but I want my military series to stay military and it just didn't fit with the rest of the series that was FANTASTIC!!!!

“ Duty o'er love was the choice you did make
My love you did spurn, my heart you did break
Your penance to pay, no pride you shall gain
Three sons on three sons find nothing but pain
I gift you my powers in memory of me
The joy of love no son shall ever see
When a Lifemate is chosen by the heart of a son
No protection can be given, again I have won
His pain will be deep, her death will be swift
Inside his heart a terrible rift
Only freely given will this curse be done
To break the spell, three must work as one.”
