Book Description

Publication Date: March 25, 2003

The Woman in Black

Every intelligence operative in Washington D.C. knows her name ... but little else.

A tough Navy Seal with a reputation for efficiency, Steve McMillan has heard all the stories about the "world's most glamorous assassin." But nothing prepared him for the goddess in tight black leather who now stands before him. Marlena is his new assignment -- his superiors in the shadow world of secret missions want him to get information and then turn her over. McMillan is the consummate professional, but dealing with this beautiful enigma is playing with fire. To trust her would be crazy -- as crazy as following his burning desire for her to its passionate conclusion.

Because there's something beyond the yearning in her eyes and the inviting softness of her lips. Dark clouds are circling around Marlena Maxwell, drawing Steve along with her into a lethal game of deception and betrayal. And perhaps the deadliest mistake they could both make would be to fall in love ...

4.0 out of 5 stars A New Voice In Romantic Suspense!!, May 6, 2003

This review is from: Into Danger (Shadowy Assassins (S.A.S.S.), Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

There is a new voice in romantic suspense and I look forward to reading more by this new author.

In the debut novel by Gennita Low we are taken for a rollercoaster ride of suspense, intrigue, and steamy chemistry between two very impressive characters.

SEAL Steve McMillian was not prepared despite all he heard about regarding his next assignment. Marlena is not at all what he expects when he meets her outside a D.C. bar. Although she appears hard and driven Steve finds a soft side to this assassin. He finds it hard to deal with his feelings that he has for his assignment. Marlena is not just his latest assignment. She is a woman, one that has him intrigued, and one that he is drawn too. He has always been able to get in and get the job done. Now Marlena is making him feel things that he never felt before, how can he love an assassin.

Marlena is used to living on the edge and presenting a mask to the world. So she is not ready to trust, or desire Steve, her new "lacky". What is worse, Steve manages Marlena to do the one thing that she has never done, and that is to loose her focus. She finds herself feeling things that she would be better off not feeling, and wants to trust Steve but is not sure if he plays for the good guys or the bad guys.

Together they work on a secert mission, playing a lethal game of walking a tight rope between the unknown enemy and possible betrayal while falling in love.

This was a fast paced and steamy read. The characters are engaging and the plot has you turning the pages and forgetting the household chores that you should be keeping up with. A hard to put down book with great chemistry between Steven and Marlena. If you are a fan of the romantic suspense genre you will not want to miss this new voice!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book Ever!, September 29, 2003

"romancemaster" (Saugerties, New York, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Into Danger (Shadowy Assassins (S.A.S.S.), Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

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!!!

This review is from: Into Danger (Shadowy Assassins (S.A.S.S.), Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

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!
