Summary: Preposterous! Are we idiots?
Review: This is my first from Gennita Low. I was so enthusiastic to read it because of glossy reviews. What a disappointment... This is a US government suspense. Consequently, the main idea was good in the beginning. The factor of ethnic flavour (the heroin is Asian) is also something new in this genre.
[...] Ms Low repeats every single detail so many times that that made me almost thrown up. After some time I gave up counting to read how many times the bad guys tortured, raped etc. the heroin. How can it be possible to have operated perfectly after what happened her skin, face, body? Plastic surgery has lots of limitations Ms. Low.
Actually I found the heroin totally dumbfounded. The hero is irritating and his fetish about long long hair is gross.
Is it really possible if a person really is unaware of herself throughout 10 years and then remembers everything in bed with her "husband"?
This book needs a good editing, but it is too late. Normally Avon is quite precise in this matters, perhaps they were in a hurry. Despite what I wrote, I am planning to give this author another try, maybe I will order her first or next work. I hope she improves herself in writing, as I mentioned before she has some great ideas.[...]

Summary: One of the best!
Review: This is one of the best books I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Ms. Low is able to pull her readers into her stories and make them emotionally involved. Her first book Into Danger was spectacular and this one was no disappointment. Her characters are so realistic and her plots are exetremely developed. She is able to combine a love story and a spy mystery into one book without losing the readers interest. Ms. Low is a break through author. However, she has capture me as an avid reader and fan for the rest of her writing career! Her characters are hot and her love scenes are hotter. She is on a level parallel to Linda Howard and Christine Feehan! I can't wait for the next one!

Summary: Good read! Intriguing characters and steamy...
Review: This is the second book by this author and I have to say, I loved this book. Her (Gennita Low) first book was a keeper also. There was a twist in the middle of the book that I did not see coming. I won't spoil it here. Rick Harden has had a hard time of it to say the least. He lost his wife (Operative/Spy) ten years ago in an assignment and has been trying to come to terms with it since then. Rick is a great hero. Not all good. Some nice edges. Rick has been trying to piece together the details of his wife's capture and death for years. In the meantime, his boss has been selling out his country and though he is behind bars, he is creating havoc for those who knew him. Enter ex-operative Nikki. Resembles Rick's ex-wife...working for an Admiral to try and find out what Rick really know about his boss's deception. There are twists and turns and a hauntingly beautiful love story. I highly recommend this book. By the way, thanks Ms. Low for finally giving us an Asian heroine and a genuine two-dimensional hero.

Summary: Exaggerated Story Line
Review: This was the first time I've read anything from Gennita Low. Frankly, I thought the entire storyline was ridiculous and far reaching. I know everyone wants to strike out at the government, CIA, FBI or whatever, but this storyline didn't even make me believe that this could happen. I kept hoping it would get better as I read the book but the author kept repeating key events over and over again. Can a person really NOT know who they were for 10 years? The hero was described as being some God in the bedroom who could go for hours and hours and satisfy ANY woman he was with. He's basically a pig who used and abused women shamelessly and then tossed them out after he was through. The heroine only got her memory back once she had some hot sex with her ex-husband??? Oh please!! I didn't care for any of the book .... the storyline, hero, heroine or supporting characters. I will not read any more from this author unless it's outside the scope of this series.

Summary: Another great book from Gennita Low!!
Review: We met Rick Harden in Ms. Low's first book, Into Danger. In this book the fallout from the arrest of his boss almost buries him. Nikki Taylor is the woman assigned to investigate Rick - not only to see if he was involved in his former boss's activities, but to evaluate his potential as a leader for Tiara. The only problem? Although Nikki looks nothing like her, she acts just like Harden's ex-wife Leah who died 10 years before.

The characters in this book are so intriguing. Rick, a character I didn't particularly like from Into Danger, is turned into a hero to die for. Nikki, the first Asian heroine I've ever read, is mystical and mysterious. Together they are hot!

I recommend the book highly!

Summary: Not all that good
Review: With all due respect to the other reviewers on this site, I have to desagree with their assessment of this book. I found it dragging and very repetitious. How many times did I have to read about what the bad guys did to the heroin? She keeps on coming back to that over and over again as though there was a chance that the reader had forgotten her ordeal. The author repeats herself too much and it almost becomes condescending. I'm not an idiot and I do not hava a short-term memory and I do tend to remember what happened 10 to 50 pages earlier in the book, so I would appreciate not being talked down to in this way.

The only reason I gave 2 stars is because the first quarter of the book was alright. However, after the hero found out who the heroin really was, it just went down from there and I was skimming the pages more often than not. Frankly, by the end I didn't care who the bad guys were, I just wanted to be done with the whole thing.

Not recommended.

Summary: WOW!
Review: Yeah, this book may be a bit "darker" than Gennita Low's first book, "FACING DANGER", but boy-oh-boy is it good! It has plenty of plot twists to keep the reader on the edge of their sofa - - and enough HOT love scenes to require the ceiling fan on HIGH for the whole book.

And just when you think you can't find anything hotter than the pearls scene in the last book - - Ms. Low discovers a whole new use for seatbelts.

Yeah, it's a keeper. Trust me, read it with someone YOU love! (They'll be sending thank you cards to Ms. Low too!)
