I love, love, love humor in all stories, and Zane and Teal bring it in this book They re lovable characters on their own, but the back and forth banter between them, mixed in with some sweet, emotional scenes were fantastic to read Hooked on the series and want book 2, now. Zane Cutter runs a salvage operation with his brothers which is based on an island in the Caribbean When his mechanic is sidelined due to illness, Teal Williams, is brought on board to be their resident mechanic Teal however, did not count on having to go out on a salvage mission with Zane as soon as she arrived But when he offers her a percentage of the treasure they re sure to find, she s hard pressed t [ Zane and Teal are my current favorite couple I absolutely loved this book The interactions not only between the main characters but the secondary characters left me wanting Zane is a playboy, though his reputation has been slightly embellished He s charming, good looking and successful, the trifecta of perfectness He thrives on the thrill of the hunt for shipwrecks and the treasure their sunken remains may contain Along with his two brothers, Zane Cutter is known for his amazing finds.

Summary The Cutter brothers own a diving salvage company that is centered on a private island in the Car [ I am giving up now I had heard good things about this author but so far for me this has just gotten kind of boring I know this was meant to be a romance, I mean obviously I knew this going in, just look at the cover I think it s time for me to admit to myself that I just don t care for romance novels They are so over the top I don t find it charming to know how many times Mr Sculpty Abs Hero gets an erection just by being in the same vicinity with Miss Feisty Kitten Rescue Me Heroine Or how prou [ Well I have read this author in the past and found her books a bit high on the SMUT rating, but I was dropping stuff off for the Relay For Life rummage sale and decided to look through the books I found a few that looked interesting and I read the back of this one before I noticed the author s name I enjoy romance thrillers suspense filled books This one was not disappointing at all The first kiss wasn t even until page or so Very tame compared to some of the others she has written.
A treasur [ The big payoff when Teal finally gave in to Zane and ditched all her assumptions and stopped thinking badly of him White hot coupling here--although nothing too outrageous-- no 'camel sex' but we do get a very sexy shower scene and plenty of romantic moments Shower scene Teal was vulnerable on the inside but put up a tough exterior and hid behind walls--she felt unloved for who she was.
Zane was perfect for her and understood her. They were a perfect balance for each other--she grounded free-spirited Zane and he freed her up. With Zane's love and acceptance, Teal lost her hostile, bitchy attitude, and became a nicer, more open person.
Lots of goodies about Cutter Cay there. I can't wait to revisit Zane and Teal and find out more about Zane's quieter, more intense brothers in the upcoming Riptide. View all 78 comments. Jan 12, MelissaB rated it liked it Shelves: romantic-suspense , reads. The first half of the book was all about the dive to find the shipwreck and the hero trying to get through the very prickly heroine's defenses. The heroine was a tad annoying with all her issues and lack of self esteem, though I did feel bad about how crappy her life was when she was younger.
She judged the hero constantly about his supposed womanizing ways, which didn't really seem accurate and made her look judgmental. There was this plot point that was brought up a few times about how she slept with him a few years ago when he was drunk and he didn't remember, a big deal was made about it then it was barely mentioned and sort of ignored. Then the last part got really weird when a very random totally out there suspense plot was added in addition to the earlier one about treasure thieves.
I thought this part totally derailed the romance part. The writing was choppy at times. The scene would just sort of cut out then it was suddenly the next day and the author just tells us what happens - it was jarring and confusing. The romance was way too fast moving. Half of the book Teal is pushing Zane away because she thinks he is a man whore who will never care about her, then once they do the horizontal mambo they are suddenly super serious and all the former conflict just disappears.
Then the romance is pushed away for the crazy suspense parts and they are in love forever at the end. It just moved so fast it was hard to believe. There were good parts, I liked the Caribbean location which I were there! The characters were drawn well, they had interesting personalities. Some parts of the story were good except for the issues i stated above. I will try the next book because Zane's brothers seem pretty intriguing.
Plus the cover is hot! View all 25 comments.

I liked the lush, tropical Caribbean setting and treasure hunting and loved sexy, sweet, flirtatious, happy-go-lucky hero Zane, but heroine Teal made me wanna smack her upside her self-pitying, bitter head.
It seemed to take a while for the action and romance to pick up steam, but I found it much more enjoyable once it finally did. So overall it's a mildly entertaining, albeit unremarkable, romantic suspense read. View all 7 comments. Jan 13, Kathleen rated it it was amazing. Thanks Auntee, I'd have missed this one if not for you. This book grabbed me right from the start. Some reviews did not care for the heroine Teal, not true for me, I loved her. She had some issues but I understood all of them and thought Cherry did a wonderful job with her character.
She was spunky, witty, smart and stubborn to boot. I found myself constantly going to Cherry's web site to take a look at the video just to see all his lusciousness. The story had everything I enjoy in a book.
The story was fantastic, the romance excellent, the characters well done, the sexual tension and love scenes great, The adventure gripping and the non stop action exhilarating. The only other thing I can say is that I'm now stuck waiting on yet another book in a series to be released. View all 6 comments. Rated 4. What a fun, suspenseful, somewhat angsty, snarky, sexy, 2nd Chance 4 Romance. I loved everything about it except for one things can't be perfect can they.
The foreplay in the sex scenes was Hot as Hades, I was like, WTH? I just didn't get it at all. Why go to the trouble of writing some outstanding foreplay t Rated 4. Why go to the trouble of writing some outstanding foreplay to just have the sex fizzle out in a few seconds. Don't get me wrong though, the scenes were still smokin, they just coulda been better. In no way would it stop me from reading this book as you can see from my rating above. I really enjoyed this treasure hunting business, pure excitement!
Lots of hard work too. Zane was a unique character and at first I didn't care for him at all. He seemed cocky, conceited, a typical jerk. Then I began to see him in a different light. He was fun to be around therefore, just about everyone loved him. Teal unfortunately has had a sucky life with each of her parents neglecting her and more. She had an emotionally abusive marriage and has had an unrequited love for Zane since she was quite young.
When we first meet Teal, she comes across as a spoiled, negative bitch, that thinks she's too good for everyone she's mainly ugly towards Zane though and voices her dislike to others. She's introverted, has zero self esteem, as well as she's extremely shy, preferring to be alone if at all possible. Again, we have another story where circumstances bring two opposites together and we get to watch them thrive. Their bantering was awesome. Can you say sarcasm?
Then, we also have the suspense! The plot really threw me off and surprised me. Very clever Ms. Cudos to you! Just wonderful. Of course, I'm recommending this one to everyone. Hope ya love it too ladies! I'm definitely moving on to the next book about Nick, Zane's bro. Feb 27, Jacqueline J rated it liked it Shelves: from-work-borders , romantic-suspense. I liked the emotions of the hero and the heroine. Plotwise however it was all over the place. The first half was diving for treasure.
Someone stealing treasure from under their noses. A couple of awkward redherrings. Solved it halfway through then suddenly there is a plane with a stolen microchip absolutely vital to national security that crashes right on top of the wreck they are salvaging. Coincidence anyone? Bunch more bad guys to beat.
This should have been a totally different book. It seeme I liked the emotions of the hero and the heroine. It seemed like it was. Meanwhile a third book was the relationship between the hero and heroine. There was a enough in that story you could have left out one of the other plots. And some of this relationship was given short shrift.
The whole she slept with him and he kicked her out afterwards and forgot about it seemed like it was going to be a big angsty thing. But no, right in the middle of having sex she mentions it and he's like "oh that was you? Thanks for that" Boink, boink. I was expecting a whole bunch more from that.
Also their relationship issues seemed to be solved a bit too easily. Still it was a fun and readable. View 1 comment.

I really enjoyed this book and blew right through it. A fantastic setting, adventurous story line and terrific H and h. He had the reputation of a playboy, but he was so sweet and kind.
Teal came into the picture burdened with issues and not so nice opinion of Zane, but he was out to prove her wrong. Even though she was bitter, he was patient, charming and very protective of her. They made a great team and literally fought for each other. I love when an author can portray the want and desire that a couple have for each other in words. It took my breath away. The author has a great website with a video that is a must see, because the visual image of Zane and Teal is exactly as I would imagine them from her description in the book.

The treasure hunt expedition was exciting enough but when the secret alphachip stuff got thrown in into the mix, I just lost interest completely. Too much going on I'd say. I hope the next Cutter Cay book would be about the Red Head lady who totally intrigued me.
May 11, Laura rated it really liked it. This was my first read by Cherry Adair and I am officially hooked. This was a thrilling read full of suspense, action, adventure, and steamy romance. Ah, Zane.
Mmm, mmm, mmmm; delicious. LOVED his character. I am such a sucker for a guy with an earring!! And, the fact that he was gorgeous, friendly, ripped, captain of his own ship, etc, etc, only added to the overall delicious package of Zane.
From the first mention of him in this book, he claimed my attention and I couldn't get enough. Teal was such a breath of fresh air of a heroine! I loved her tough girl exterior that completely melted when she was in Zane's arms. I loved that his easy-going personality evened out her feistiness and smart ass mouth. They were a great couple to read about! This book made me appreciate the ocean on a whole new level. I am not much of a diver, but even I could appreciate the detailed beauty the author captured within this story.
Kudos to Ms. Adair for all of her research. I would've liked to have seen a little bit more romance in this just because I couldn't get enough of Teal and Zane together. On a side note, this cover is one of the hottest book covers I've seen in awhile.
The sexy man, although extremely hot, is backed up by a gorgeous turquoise sea that makes this book scream "Buy me! Buy me!! Very engaging and informative. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I look forward to Nick's story up next! Four stars!!

At last Cherry Adair has returned to what she does best which is contemporary romantic suspense, minus the paranormal elements. This was a refreshing change from her more recent paranormal releases.
They just could not hold my interest. Although this book slowed down for me at one point I still enjoyed it immensley.

A fun read and I am greatly looking forward to the next in the series. Even though we only got a peek at Logan and Nick I am anxious to read their stories. As has been mentioned I do believe the Sea Witch or Sea Bitch as she was called by Teal, will end up with one of the other Cutter boys. Perhaps the mysterious other brother? We'll see View all 3 comments. Just the kind of story I like. All of a sudden, Adair goes wait a minute, this is supposed to be romantic suspense, and things go wonky.
Our hero and heroine were pretty much together by the time this plot comes around, so it didn't really bother me overly much, but it just seemed odd to me. I loved the Cutter boys, and the backdrop of the tropics and treasure hunting, so I'll definitely be picking up the rest in the series.

This review was originally posted on Addicted To Romance Summary Zane Cutter has been working on finding the ultimate treasure on a ship torn apart years ago from a hurricane.
But he needs an engine specialist, Teal Williams. Teal Williams has been working for Zane's brother for quite some time, but she doesn't like being on the sea since she gets seasick and she doesn't trust Zane and his "intentions" further than she can throw him. At first she refuses to go along because she This review was originally posted on Addicted To Romance Summary Zane Cutter has been working on finding the ultimate treasure on a ship torn apart years ago from a hurricane.
At first she refuses to go along because she has issues with the "Caribbean Casanova" who tends to have women flirt around him no matter their age. But she can't resist the temptation of jewels and gold and having a chance to prove Zane. While, on their dive, both Zane and Teal are attracted to each other, but there are outside influences that tend to drive them apart.
Zane has enemies, vultures that are circling for the treasures hidden below. Zane and Teal show how explosive they are together, but right when they feel their treasure hunt is going well The Hero Zane Cutter is one of the three cutter brothers who have taken life by the storm and embraced his passion for searching for lost treasures under the sea. He had his brothers to watch his back and they have a tight bond, despite who their father was.
Their father was a womanizer, and had a woman in every port. They lost their mother after she tried to obtain a divorce and was killed shortly after.
Zane is driven and devoted to his passion. He loves women, and he doesn't hide that fact, but he also can't deny his feelings for Teal.
A woman that tries not to be a woman but is sexy in her own way and has that sensual appeal that calls out to him. He loves that she doesn't need a ton of makeup or a fancy hair to be full on woman. Zane is also a fighter and creates one hell of a battle in his determination to win Teal over. The Heroine Teal Williams loves to tinker with things and immerse herself in books.
She married at a young age, and she learned quickly that her husband at the time wasn't okay with who she was. He wanted to change everything about her She walked out on him and his emotional abuse he had dished out to her. Then she realized how important it was to be true to herself. On one crazy night, she had wild sex with Zane when he was overshot with drinking. Over the years, Teal has fallen in love with Zane. But refuses to let him know it, because he is a womanizer and she would just be another peg on his bedpost.
But after searching through the ocean bed for lost treasures, she sees Zane in a new light. I really enjoyed Teal as the heroine Spirited, strong, and tended to let her emotions gain control especially when jealosy came around the corner. I loved her sassiness and her loose tongue and not afraid of being herself. Plot and Story Line Undertow was such a fun and thrilling adventure that I couldn't get enough of. There were many things about this that reminded me of one of my all time favorite adventure authors: Clive Cussler.
So if any of you have read Cussler, Cherry Adair is similar only much more romantic tone to it. We have a treasure hunt beneath the sea What more do you need right?
Well after reading Undertow I have become hooked on this author I couldn't get enough of the sense of adventure and mystery. There was so much energy that was portrayed through this story, and the details so vividly written, I could almost imagine myself diving and finding those lost treasures like Zane and Teal do.
As a whole there were many aspects of the story that made this story amazing to read. We have a stimulating plot that is full of unexpecting thrills, drama and mystery. We some dangers that come and the way that Zane, Teal and the other members of his crew handle any situation that is thrown their way.
The romance that builds between Zane and Teal is full of storms and waves and it isn't easy seeing these two find a reasonable compromise. There are misunderstanding and conflict, but there is also passion and depth to it. Zane will use any weapon at his disposal to get to Teal. Teal at first wants nothing to do with Zane, because she doesn't trust easily and she knows the way women are with him. She is afraid of trusting and getting hurt again.
But what I liked about this book, was seeing how Teal's nontrust in Zane doesn't drag too much which is what I was afraid of at first. But boy the chemistry between these two is explosive and I couldn't get enough of seeing it. This kiss wasn't suggestive, or insidious. He went from zero to a hundred in point zero seconds.
