Night Fall

by Cherry Adair

T-FLAC/psi operative Simon Blackthorne goes to Africa to continue the global war against paranormal terror–never expecting to clash swords with strong-willed Kess Goodall.

Kess struggles in her own desperate battle to unravel a deadly secret that has killed millions in the tiny country of Mallaruza. But Simon proves to be the ultimate distraction: his very presence takes her body to the edge of a pleasure-filled abyss, his touch superbly rapturous. Now, against a backdrop of staggering beauty and horrific violence, with danger at every turn and libidos in overdrive, a spirited woman and an indomitable wizard face a malevolent force more frightening than both can imagine.

With foes strong and numerous, Kess and Simon must forge a bond strong enough to eliminate a sadistic enemy before Mallaruza is lost to terrorist control and the world forever changed.

About the author

Always an adventurer in life as well as writing, New York Times best-selling author Cherry Adair moved halfway across the globe from Cape Town, South Africa to the United States in her early years to become a interior designer. Now a resident of the Pacific Northwest she shares the award- winning adventures of her fictional T-FLAC counter terrorism operatives with her readers.

Cherry settled in beautiful San Francisco, where she started what eventually became a thriving interior design business. "I loved being a designer because it was varied and creative, and I enjoyed working with the public." A voracious reader when she was able to carve out the time, Cherry found her brain crowded with characters and stories of her own. "Eventually," she says, "the stories demanded to be told."

When asked why she chooses to write romantic action adventure, she says, "Who says you can’t have adventure and a great love life? Of course if you’re talking about an adventurous love life, that’s another thing altogether. I write romantic suspense coupled heart-pounding adventure because I like to entertain, and nothing keeps readers happier than a rollercoaster read, followed by a happy ending."

Popular on the workshop circuit, Cherry gives lively classes on writing and the writing life. Pulling no punches when asked how to become a published writer, Cherry insists, "Sit your butt in the chair and write. There's no magic to it. Writing is hard work. It isn't for sissies or whiners."

Cherry loves to spend time at home. A corner desk keeps her focused on writing, but the windows behind her, with a panoramic view of the front gardens, are always calling her to come outside and play. Her office has nine-foot ceilings, a fireplace, a television and built-in bookcases that will house approximately 3,500 paperback books.

"What can I say? My keeper shelf has been breeding in the middle of the night, rather like drycleaners' wire clothes hangers.”

I haven't read the previous eleven (sic!) books in this series but I can honestly say that this is not a problem at all. I generally enjoy the story and the idea.

The whole story is set in fictional African country of Mallaruza. Kess works for the president of this country who is running for re-election. Beside the poverty and other issues usually associated with African countries, Mallaruza straggles with an epidemic of some strange disease that is killing millions of people. I do like the general idea that is not very common for romantic suspense genre. However, I feel like the problems of African countries are presented very stereotypical and a bit too casually. Well, I know this is not a non-fiction book or even the one that focuses of political or social aspects, but still... I think that the simplification is not my kind of thing (and that's probably because I have a PhD in Political Science).

I'm pleasantly surprised by the characters that are very nice and likeable. Simon has a bit of tortured hero vibe but not too much. I haven't read the previous books in this series, so I know nothing about magic / paranormal aspect. I wish I knew more, but I believe with eleven books out there, there is no point in explaining all the details in every instalment. Also, the whole magic thing is a bit too easy for me. Like, you want something and puff, you get it. Yeah, way too easy. But I can live with it.

I like this book enough to read the others in this series. And I think that reading them in order is not a must.

This book was written years ago, yet could have been published today. The unknown viral outbreak has some eerie similarities to our COVID pandemic and it makes you wonder about the origins of these things. I loved the plot and the paranormal story, but most of all I loved Simon and Kess, especially the feisty, redheaded Kess.

Kess Goodall has lost her job and been blacklisted in the PR world of Atlanta, GA. Laying low is what she needs to do right now so she has accepted a PR job with the president of the small African country of Mallaruza, which is in the middle of a pandemic that is killing millions of the people there. This is very bad press for the President Abiouyne Bongani and Kess needs to spin this the best she can as an election approaches. The enigmatic Simon is sex on two legs and it's been a long time for Kess, she just has to be sure he doesn't distract her from the job she has to do.

Simon Blackthorne, a T-FLAC/psi operative, is in Mallaruza to help his old college friend, Abi, the President of Mallaruza. This pandemic is killing his people and Simon is there to see if this could be a terrorist plot. When he meets the fiery Kess, the earth tilted for Simon. Oil and water don't mix, but in certain circumstances, they are highly combustible. Kess is nothing like the woman Simon wants long term, but she is sure good for the right now.

As Kess and Simon race to solve the deadly pandemic, Simon has a face off with an extremely powerful wizard who holds the fate of Kate in his very hands. Failure is not an option for Simon, even when his own powers are not always dependable, but Simon will do whatever he has to in order to save Kess.

"Night Fall" by Cherry Adair had me doing the whole love/hate thing at first. Then once I figured out I needed to suspend reality, I loved it! A really hot read with a really hot wizard.

Kess is the PR rep for the current President of the African nation of Mallaruza. She's also kind of keeping a low profile before her upcoming court case back in the States. With Mallaruza's election and her court case coming up in just a few weeks, she's pretty stressed. Then there's the whole deadly disease and warring neighbor nation thing going on. Into this steps a sexy, tall, drink-of-water friend of the current President and all of a sudden Kess' hormones are going crazy!

Simon is battling some craziness of his own. Recently his magical has been going on the fritz. So when he decides to take a vacation and visit his old college buddy, the current President of Mallaruza, he really hadn't planned on stepping smack dab into a mystery. When he sets out to discover who and what is behind the mysterious, fatal disease he runs into Kess...and even though she isn't anything like he always imagined his dream woman to be, the more time he spends with her, the more his own image of his dream woman keeps changing ...and she's looking more and more like Kess! Now if he can just keep both of them alive.

Suspend reality and you'll enjoy it. Look for normalcy and logic and you'll be disappointed. Read it for the hot wizard and the smoking sex and you'll have a lovely couple of hours of escapism!

I really enjoyed this latest book by Cherry Adair. I feel like her writing is getting better and better and am looking forward to the next in this series.

**Mild spoiler**

Oh! And is it just me... or does she not try to find new and intersting places for her characters to make love!?? First the camel's back in that other book... and now in the back seat of a car, going 100 miles an hour, with no driver, in the African desert?! She's great! I love it!

[Kathrynn · Rating 5 out of 5]

This paranormal, T-FLAC book was very entertaining with two wonderful main characters. Simon (wizard) was asked to help a friend in Africa and meets Kess (AKA Katherine, Katie). Together, they uncover a deadly virus, bad wizard, corruption in the African government and ...love. The romance was nice and sweet. Simon was such a romantic. It was hard to put down and when I finished this book, I had a big smile on my face! Thank you for that! ;-)

I had to laugh...page 94: the word "discombobulated" is used.

I enjoy this author's writing style:

"Her heart took a little Snoopy dance..."

"...were full-service bad neighbors..."

"...she was oil to his fire..."

"...a country that thought killing was an acceptable form of communication..."

"...Well, hell. That was like expecting a Barbie camper for Christmas and getting...socks..."

For those that haven't read any of the T-FLAC books, this is a great one to pick up and start. No information from previous books is mentioned in this one and two previous characters have brief mentions: Caleb Edge and Mason Knight.

Enjoy!

I found this book a poor read, starting with the imaginary African country and ending with the unending repeats of how manly the male lead was. And in the middle I was reminded that I really find the wizardly T-FLAC operatives really boring.

[Tameka · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a fun on your toes type of book. She took him for a ride, and the fact that his gift was on the blink made things even more interesting. Sometimes, you can't see through the forest past the trees.

I just couldn't with this. I tried, and it ended up on the DNF list. I got too much else to do. It's a carbon copy of so many other of these other T-FLAC Series books. This is how they all go:

"I'm a big, alpha male, and I act like a jerk because...reasons. I work for T-FLAC doing dangerous things. I'm on a dangerous mission. Oh, in this case, I'm a wizard."

"I'm a feisty (redhead in this case, if you can get anymore stereotypical than that) female character. I'm not the male characters type because of X, Y, and Z, but a girl can dream right? Let's do dangerous things."

Big alpha male proceeds to continue to big a jerk while running around doing suspenseful things while female tags along. Whoops, we had sex. But that doesn't mean anything because I don't do relationships. More danger. Lots of danger. Oh, that danger was so dangerous that I've decided to love you forever, female character. And female character says, okay, you're hot.

The end.

Fired from her job as a PA for a law firm in Atlanta and pending criminal charges for assault, the heroine takes up a position as the PA for the President of a war torn and disease-ridden African county. She believes in him, is loyal to him and in her new position of broadcasting to the world the good he's doing for his country and his people, she finds purpose in her own life. She's involved in helping the sick and dying people even at the risk of her own health. The hero is a university friend of the president, in the country at the request of his once friend to help him stop the wizard believed to be killing the population.

As a T-FLAD agent, the hero is gifted with invisibility and teleportation but lately his abilities have become unreliable. When he meets the heroine, he's shocked by the attraction he feels towards her. In his mind he always pictures his One Day Woman, mother to his children and future life partner and the woman before him doesn't fit any of the requirements he's looking for. She isn't feminine, she's talkative and brash and she's got fiery red hair. But something about her sparks something within him and at the first opportunity, he finds himself kissing her. She in turn finds the hero super sexy and has no qualms about entering into a no strings attached love affair with him. Though it hurts to think of him with another woman, she's happy to have him now. And when she finds out about his unique abilities she's intrigued, not repulsed by them. They do come in handy when she's being hunted by the enemy after she captures something on camera that incriminates them. Now, she is on the run for her life, chased by men with big guns and low morals, protected by a big strong beautiful man whom could never truly be hers. And to top it all off, they find themselves in the middle of the African politics and a conspiracy that rocks the heroine's faith in her boss and in the chances of her getting out of the situation alive.

This was a great book. So sad in parts because it does a great job of portraying the struggle of the war torn and impoverished African countries. Though something to keep in mind, it is a romance novel. Even though it had dark times, overall it is not antsy or a tear jerker so don't read it expecting a prized award-winning piece of fiction because it's not that deep. Regardless, it is a lovely romantic paranormal suspense with great action, awesome chemistry between the characters and both humorous and sad parts in equal measure. I dreaded the heroine being that stereotyped 'feisty' heroine but she was likeable and admirable in her drive to help a good cause. The hero was alright, being that typical badass fighter with a gun and the girl. I could have done with a bit more depth to his character but I enjoyed the small insight into his past and his childhood which inspired his dream life with his dream wife and house of children. I quite liked this book. This author is turning into a must read as I've adored the first 2 books that I've read from her.

A small country in Africa... Abi, it's president, though high minded he has come under the influence of bigger things and of a wizard, and is willingly letting millions of his own people to die in his bid to unite Africa (though we don't know this until the end). and he has hired Kess (aka Katie Goodall) to be his publicist in the coming election and to the world.

He asks his friend from school, Simon, to come to determine if there is any wizarding going on... not realizing Simon would end up in a confrontation with the wizard he now serves.

And Simon and Kess are thrown together...

Simon lost his family at an early age, and spent a lot of time in foster homes (some ok, some horrible), as a wizard he took up with the T-FLAC psi section, and has battled terrorists since. Kess has parents and a sister who love and adore one another. She has a bit of a temper, and quit/fired from her last job (hence this job) because she caught one of the partners raping his assistant, and she fought him, hitting him over the head with the phone - she has a court date coming up has they filed charges, and the assistant has left town (Simon takes care of this, using T-FLAC resources to track her down, get her statement, and to the lawyers - charges dropped; and counter charges filed with additional employees past & present jumping onto the band wagon).

Simon uses his TFLAC contacts to discover that the virus that is killing his people is engineered; and when Abi & his wizard are confronted at the end, they are defeated & TFLAC sends an antidote through the air, and supplies to help the children.

Of note, Simon uses his wizardry by teleporting them, haveing a second Simon to stand in for him(though she knows it's not realy him,) protective fields, and converting a space... so he transports himself and a jeep in front of her, he takes a dingy hotel room and makes it into a beg, clean, breezy space next to a beach, etc. But his powers, the last 2 weeks have been inconsistent -

Though Simon had developed the image of the perfect woman in his mind (looks, temperment, etc.) he realizes that all he really wants is in the red headed, impulsive, upbeat, fearless, kindhearted Kess -

Cherry Adair is all over the place as a writer. I have read 3 of her TFLAC books and there just isn't any consistency.

I LOVED "Kiss and Tell". I actually re-read it last month and loved it again just as much as the first time. It was fast paced, fun, intriguing and steamy.

I HATED "Hide and Seek". It was ridiculous, badly written, pathetic characters, a bad book.

In "Night Fall", she seems to hit middle ground. I don't like fantasy for the most part and the main character, Simon, was a wizard that could transport himself anywhere he wanted and materialize things out of air. Kess is a strong female trying to prove herself. I liked the writing, for the most part I liked the characters and it was quite steamy. However, there were things that happened without explanation and very resolution. At the end of the book, I am asking myself, "How did that happen? What about him? What happened to that?" Adair brought up so many far-fetched story lines in this book and then just dropped them. I'm always surprised things like that get past the editors. Did anyone at Ballantine Books actually read this?

All that said, not a bad book, just ok. It's a quick read, but visit your library for this one, don't bother buying it.

[Hbeebti · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another wonderful book by Cherry Adair. Its been awhile sense I have read anything by her and forgot how engaging her stories are.

Simon and Kess are so great together. Kess for me was so wonderfully refreshing. She was so perky and enjoyed life. Even when bad things are happening around her. There was always a laugh or a smile. I loved that she was always messing with Simon. That he even seemed to enjoy her babble , jumping from one subject to the next in the same breath. Also was cool was that Kess was super into all the wizardness as she called it. Like that was the coolest thing ever and she wanted to know more and more.

Simon poor guy has this sad picture in his head of his perfect , later in life step-ford wife. That picture of her is not Kess. Not even close. So through the whole book you see others who would fit the bill. Simon also has a issue with his powers screwing up at the worst moments. Lets not forget Nomis who is very cool in a creepy kinda way.

The ending was intense and lots of kick ass action . The baddies were there and got what they deserve. This book kept me on my toes trying to figure out what the heck is going on but also enjoying the Kess and Simon moments that at times were sweet then the smoking hot!

Kess Goodall is a disgraced PR rep trying to regain her reputation by assisting the President Abioyne Bongani of Mallaruza, a middle Africa country. T-FLAC Operative Simon Blackthorne is there as well trying to help an old friend while he tries to figure out what's going wrong with his wizard powers. Neither would usually be attracted to or attracted by the other, this time they are both quite overwhelmed by the budding feelings for each other that they need to keep hidden until they understand them. Meanwhile they must rely on each other to combat invasion and warfare by a neighboring country into Abi's territory as Simon tries to determine of Abi's issues are wizard related.
This installment had difficulty holding my interest but it had nothing to do with the story itself, the writing, plotting or pacing. I did get invested in the main characters themselves until the halfway point, before that it was the story. I actually liked the rogue wizard and thought Joubert was a more than adequate villain, it was interesting that Simon's magic was misbehaving and he'd need to go to his T-FLAC buddies for help, working in Africa helped to expand the global feel of T-FLAC

[Michelle · Rating 1 out of 5]

I couldn't stand the main character in the story, Kess, and the audiobook narrator gave her a weird "accent" so it made it even worse. I didn't like the story and found the ending rushed. I would not recommend this one.

[Gail · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cherry Adair is one of my favorite romantic suspense writer. If you like paranormal than you will enjoy this one. The story take place in a small African country. Kess Goodall accepted a PR position in Central West Africa, because she is trying. To escape a scandal that happen on her last job in Atlanta. The President of Mallaruza Abioyne Bongani hired her to help him with his reelection campaign.

So fast forward there's a terrible plague going on in the country and Kess has been helping to bring supplies to the people, and letting them know that her boss really cares and that he is doing everything he can to make things better.
In the meantime Abi decide to ask his college roommate Terrorist Force Logistic Assault Command (T-FLAC) psi operative Simon Blackthorne to investigate the recent increase in border fights and raids with the Hureni. By having Simon, there he can do his investigating quietly.

You will have to get the book to find out just what will happen. All that I can tell you is that this series is a page turner.

[Cindy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Paranormal action series, somewhat similar to her Edge books.

Heroes are members of TFLAC [her ongoing series:] - the psi branch. The first book was set in Africa [just love those mythical African countries - something like the mythical Balkan countries popular in earlier romances, after all you've got to get all those princes from somewhere!:]. Hero's powers are short circuiting, there's an unknown plague decimating the population, and the heroine is supposed to help the current president get re-elected. Good hero and heroine. The heroine's sister appears in Adair's short story “Tropical Heat” in Rescue Me.

You could probably read 2 before 1 if you had to - but the story arc is moving to completion in 3 so that should definitely be read last.

Not crazy about this pick. My hatred and fondness jumped around a lot on this one.
Started with an interesting locale then we get gushing about how sexy they find each other. At this point I almost picked another book. I went into this thinking it wouldbe military/ romance fiction. I perked up a bit when they introduced some otherworldly action. Even with this fun add in I wasn't feeling it.

Unfortunately, a lot of my complaints would give the ending away... I will refrain. One thing I enjoyed was thelead female at times. She was fun. Th author did ruin her at the end by giving loud, unneeded, very loud, insecurities. We all have them, but little dab is all you need. Especially, since it's out of character.

[Elizabeth · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was expecting pure romantic suspense when I picked up this book, so I was pleasantly surprised to learn it had a heavy paranormal slant. It took me about a chapter to really get into the story, but once Kess's POV came across, I was hooked. I adored Kess. She's got tons of attitude, and she's not afraid to go after what she wants. She perplexes the heck out of poor Simon, who has no idea how to handle a woman like her but sure wants to learn. This was a quick read, and kept me entertained throughout. I'm really looking forward to reading more books in this series, and more work by Cherry Adair.

This is the first book in the T-Flac Psi Series and the 13th book in the T-Flac Series.

Simon is a wizard and is in Mallaruza as a favor to the current leader.

Kess is working as the PR person for the current president leading up to the next election. Only problem is that the people of Mallaruza are being killed off by a deadly epidemic.

Kess and Simon are forced into a heated partnership in order to save their lives.

This book was so-so. I read the next two, which were considerably better. I didn't know at the time that this was so far into a series, seeing as how it is the "first" psi book.

[Joanne · Rating 2 out of 5]

Very disappointed. I had been looking forward to reading the T-Flac series for some time, however, based on this book I don't think I will proceed. While her main couple were charming when together, there wasn't enough depth in rest of the plot to keep my interest. There was no build-up or fleshing out of any of the characters including our heroes and enemies. I don't know why they are who they are and I didn't feel any connection to their problems. I did enjoy her visuals of the animals and countryside of Africa as well as some of the interactions of the star couple. In the end it felt like I hadn't read a book at all, just listened to the idea of one.

[Ani · Rating 5 out of 5]

Did not expect to enjoy this book so much as I did. As an African citizen myself, any country in Africa (real or imaginary) with the addition of a government connection just does not give me the warm fuzzies as far as romantic settings go. These two characters made me overlook the where and had me enjoying the who and how

I’m two books on in the series and I still get a smile when I think of Kess. She was so sassy and entertaining and rolled with the punches like a pro! Simon was endearing and the way he fell for Kess was so sweet.

Anyway, as mentioned, I just started with the last book in the Night Trilogy and can’t wait to see how the plot unfolds.

I loved Kess's sass and spice! Simon Blackthorne with an "e" well hot damn yummy slightly "off/magic/wizard" alpha male YUM! Yes the story matter of plague and disease killing millions was heavy but the story still held compassion, heat, and HEA so that's a winner in my book! Also discovering half way thru this book that it was #13 in a series I am happy to say I am jumping back to #1 and starting my Cherry Adair T-FLAC journey right proper ;-) I recommend you buy and read her wonderful books I know I'm certainly enjoying them!

I would read more Adair, but I would prefer more explanation if she uses paranormal elements again (or, you know, just not using paranormal elements at all). The novel was fun and the sex had a certain humor/spiciness to it, but the actual suspense plot was already pushing the boundaries. I liked the political end of things and felt some things were done well, but at times it got ridiculous or seemed to fade into the background too much.

Simon Blackthorne is a T-FLAC/psi operative who is in Africa to track down a wizard causing trouble between two countries. Kess Goodall is there to handle public relations for the President of Mallaruza after trouble back home in Atlanta. They are thrown together on a wild adventure of mayhem, magic and passion. Night Fall is a great read that will keep you hooked from beginning to end! This is definitely one you’re gonna want to check out along with any other Cherry Adair books.

Easy, fast paced enjoyable read that kept me turning the page. I was quickly drawn in by the characters Kess and Simon. The horrible issues they were facing all through out the book kept the story interesting at every turn. Their back and forth banter and interest in each other made the romance sizzle. I also did love the wizard angle added to the TFLAC series. I haven't read all of the TFLAC books, and just jumped into this Night series.

[Shelley · Rating 2 out of 5]

What the exception of the paranormal skills, the characters are 2 dimensional. The second half of book is better than first. I alternated between finding the female character annoying and enjoying her perky attitude. I randomly found book at library, not realizing this was book #12, so feels like you are thrown into middle of a story because there is no back story to the universe. But easy to follow.

[Lisa · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cherry's books used to be excellent romantic suspense novels where the main characters were part of an elite counterterrorist unit. Now she is starting to get a bit too weird where the characters have some sort of magical power and are still a part of the counterterrorist unit. So now these wizards are chasing terrorist wizards in the real world. Just a bit too out there....

[Renie · Rating 2 out of 5]

I loved the "Edge" series but the "Night" series was a shadow of those books. The plots were flimsy and predictable and the books seemed more like romance than romance suspense novels. I couldn't wait to get through them to read something more substantial. I hope Cherry Adair doesn't continue on this trend as it seems these books were just churned out without much thought.

[Book Him Danno · Rating 1 out of 5]

Lots of sex and not much story to go along with all the sex....my husband likes to say that women don't watch porn they read it....with books like this I would have to say that he is correct it that. If you enjoy sex and no good reason for it then you will enjoy this series which I think I'm done reading. I hoped the story lines would improve...but no just more sex then the last.
