Book Disclosure: I purchased a new copy for my eReader.
Hush is the first book of Cherry Adair's new suspense series, Lodestone. Zach Stark wakes up after a night of hot sex with a beautiful woman Acadia Gray, whom he picked up in a bar the night before. He wakes up to find himself and Acadia being held at gun point by a group of savage men. These men have been paid well to kidnap him and Acadia. Neither is sure who the target of the kidnapping is or why for that matter. But one thing is for sure, Acadia and Zach will have to work together if they are to get out of the jungle alive.
Hush started out with such great promise and intrigue. I was riveted for that first chapter or two and then things took a little turn for the worse. It's just that the book is really over the top. The action is way, way intense and dare I say it, just a little bit unbelievable. However, that can make for a fun read. Just be sure to remember when reading to add your suspension of disbelief, otherwise you might just have a serious case of the eye-rolls.
Zach and Acadia have mad, smokin’-hot attraction for each other, that even when faced with guns, scary bad guys and massive explosions, they can take the time to ogle the other person's butt, pectorals or glorious ta-tas. Okay, I am exaggerating a little bit, or maybe not. But these two had the mental lusting thing going on, all the while running from the bad guys in a jungle in South America. Sometimes I have a little bit of trouble with this scenario. I have to admit that the book is action packed and will keep readers on the edges of their seats. Just don't take this book to seriously and you will (hopefully) be entertained, like I was.

Huh. I've seen reviews on both sides of the fence on this one. I've haven't read this author. I'm still undecided on this book though. Sometimes I really like over the top. We'll see. Thanks for the review.
Hi Fiction Vixon,
I have only read one other book by Cherry Adair and I thought it was pretty good. I just really liked the set up of Hush and I met her at RT and she was such a hoot. She really has an outgoing personality. This book is a mixed bag. It really is action packed, but a little over the top for me. I think a lot of readers will be entertained by it. Actually, I was entertained, while reading it, however some of it was eye-rolling, LOL!
The whole "lust on the run" can really irritate me. It sounds like the trick to enjoying this one is to not take it too seriously. :)
