Into Danger

This is the best book I have ever read. It had great tension between the two main characters. Usually when I finish a government romance I am disappointed with the ending. Low ended this book with awesome suspense and a lead in to the characters of (hopefully) her next book. I was extremely please with Gennita Low's Into Danger. I can't wait to read her next book. P.S. The love scenes were hot!!!

Into Danger is a book that is both fresh - and refreshing - all at once. There is nothing ordinary about this debut novel from exciting new author, Gennita Low. From the first page to the last, I found myself completely riveted to the pages, wanting to know what happened next yet afraid to finish the book too soon because I was enjoying it so much! This story has everything a good romance should, but not in a way we are used to reading it. Very strong, yet unquestionably feminine characters are a big part of the reason - and a treat to finally read! The heated tension between the two main characters, Marlena Maxwell and Steve McMillan, begins practically on page one and never diminishes as the story unfolds. Well-developed and interesting secondary characters also add depth and additional mystery to this novel - so much so that I want to read their stories next! I love the new voice this author presents to the romance genre, but would easily recommend that mystery/thriller and espionage readers give this book a try as well. In the tradition of some of the best spy-novel writers, Ms. Low craftily weaves a web of international and homeland intrigue that will keep you guessing to the very end. I rarely ever read a book twice - but I am sure to read this one again, and I am on the edge of my seat for more from this terrific new author! Bravo on a wonderful debut, Ms. Low!

...And fair warning: You'll need a sharp mind to enjoy it. If you are used to the same-ol', same-ol' (and boring turns you on)...then step away from this book! Ms. Low takes her readers for quite the wild ride into a new concept of a "black-ops-type" agency. Her style is gritty and unapologetically unique. (Very refreshing). Her love scenes require asbestos gloves for the reader (a welding helmet may help as well), and the story line is charged and exciting. Ms. Low effortlessly tackles conflicting emotions, making the reader feel all gamuts of the character's personalities. Well done, exciting and new. I can't wait to see what she has in store for her next novel.

I really enjoyed this book. It grabbed my attention, and held it, making a 3 hour plane ride much more enjoyable than usual.The characters were well drawn and interesting. I particularly enjoyed the hero's "guyness." Suave romantic heros in tuxes are all very well but once in a while it's nice to have a white tee-shirt and beer kind of guy. Marlena was a tough, savvy, assertive heroine and I really enjoyed watching her one-up the Feds and all the other male players in the book. The sensuality in this book is very inventive and intense. The scenes really moved the relationship along and were excellent reflections of the growing feelings between Steve and Marlena. I have a hard time believing that this was a first novel for Gennita! I felt that it was far better than most - and, in fact, far better than some that are NOT first novels - and really look forward to her next one.

Navy Seal Steve McMillan has been assigned an undercover job with the CIA's TIARA group. His assignment, to play chauffer to the infamous assassin Marlena Maxwell and try to deduce whom her current target is. Marlena is proficient at playing mind games, but so is Steve. As she tries figure out what agency Steve really works for, and whose side of the game he is on, the fireworks explode between these compelling characters.As the story builds, interesting secondary characters abound, each seeming to have their own agenda, playing a riveting game of cross and double cross. Gathering intelligence and eliminating the good guys from the bad are the primary focus of the plot, and the suspense never lets up. Marlena has an agenda all her own, and being the professional she is, vows to see her job to the end. But is she really what she appears to be? Steve has his work cut out for him. He's torn between getting his job done, while falling for the sexy Marlena. These are two of the greatest leading protagonists to hit the pages in a long time. This is an intensely sensual and suspenseful tale, which left me anticipating more to come from this great author.
