Kiss and Tell is the 2002 debut that launched Cherry Adair's long T-FLAC series, and it is interesting to read after a dozen later entries because you can feel her finding the form. The operative Kane Wright is an established T-FLAC asset. The heroine, Marnie Wright, is his estranged wife who has been keeping an entire life he did not know about secret from him.

Adair's strengths are present from the start. The action sequences are competently staged. The romance is genuinely funny in places. The villains are the kind of competent, slightly cartoonish global-bad-guy crew that the form rewards. The estranged-couple setup is a useful first-book conceit that gives both protagonists material to work with.

Four stars. A clean debut and the right place to start the series. Recommended for new T-FLAC readers.
