I read most of the T-FLAC novels in a long stretch one winter, and Date with the Devil is one of the entries I remember most clearly. The setup is delightfully implausible: an event planner is hired to put together a charity gala for what turns out to be a front operation for a global counterfeiting ring, and the T-FLAC operative assigned to extract her does not, of course, immediately tell her this.
Cherry Adair's tone is the engine. The book is genuinely funny in places, the action is competently choreographed, and the romance moves at the heat the form requires. The villains are sketched broadly. The hero's competence and the heroine's resistance to being rescued play off each other in the way the series has been doing for a decade.
Four stars. A solidly enjoyable T-FLAC entry. Recommended as a hangout-with-this-series read rather than a series entry point.
