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.

Summary: Terrific!
Comment: Night fall is another book in Cherry Adair's wonderful T-FLAC series. This one is a paranormal as was her Edge series. The stories are all stand-alone but they are connected and I like to read them in order.
Kess Goodall is a publicist from Atlanta, who's taken a job in a small African country to escape the scandal she caused in her last job in Atlanta.
Simon Blackthorne is a wizard and T-Flac operative who's come to visit his old friend, the man who's running for president and Kess's boss.
There's a terrible plague going on in the country and Kess has been helping to bring supplies and let the people know that her boss truly cares and is doing everything he can to make things better. When she and Simon go to one of the medics camps and find everyone massacred they get worried. Then Simon meets a rogue wizard and the suspense is on.
Cherry Adair is one of my favorite romantic suspense authors and I loved this story. It was full of her wonderful strong-willed heroines and sexy heros. I'm off to read Night Secrets next!

Summary: Great start to this trilogy

Customer Rating:
Summary: 4*
Comment: I really liked this book from beginning to end. The hero (Simon) and heroine (Kess) were likeable characters, with different background story lines that I liked, it made it different (not cookie cutter) and interesting. (no spoilers, but Simon was having issues with his Psi Powers but didnt fall into the woe is me role, and what power he did have was very unique from the other TFLAC books, and Kess was just a 3 dimensional heroine flaws and all, not all good not all bad, just interesting and funny and you rooted for her... As a avid reader, they are all the same after awhile especiallhy if you read alot of the same genre....But this was what I was looking for.. Interesting and a good read, not confusing not too deep just fun and well written..

Summary: An Okay Entry into Ms Adair's T-FLAC Psi World
Comment: Night Fall is the start of a new trilogy into the same world that her Edge books (Edge of Danger, et al) are in. While I enjoyed all the Edge books, I found this book both a bit confusing and a bit lacking.
I've never preferred books where the hero and heroine and lusting each other through every page from the minute they met and yet have no idea what the other is like other than their looks. While the heroine of this book is very open and I feel that the hero knows her fairly well by the end, I don't believe that the heroine knows him except through her own (perhaps) rose coloured glasses. Of course we, as the reader, know that he's a great guy so I suppose that we shouldn't concern ourselves about this. This takes about a half point off my rating.
The book seems to contradict itself at times such as whether or not Simon and Nomis can or cannot be in basically the same place. It's stated early that they cannot, but later they are. Is it "just not a good idea" because of other people seeing them together or is there a reason that they shouldn't be close to each other? Again that's another half point.
The major conflict at the end was difficult for me to follow and I wish that it had been clearer what was happening. Another half point.
There seemed to be little to no character development. The two main characters were developed somewhat, but no one else. A chapter in the beginning showing the medical team interacting so that we could get to know the two missing doctors would have been nice. A little more about the president (a very one dimensional character) would also have been nice, although perhaps he was supposed to have no real personality or mind. I don't know. It was strange to have a book take place in Africa and yet not really see a single African character. The no personality president doesn't count.
This was an okay read. I liked the main characters and generally enjoyed reading their story. I will certainly get the next book in the series and hope for a better read. Perhaps the faults and missing parts of this book will be better explained with the following books. that has certainly happened before.
