Just When You Thought It Couldn't Get Better, May 3, 2007
Gennita Low's "Virtually His" was fantastic. Any mention of confusion concerning the virtual reality occurring in the book is absurd. Ms. Low's transitions were superb and allowed the reader to easily follow the plot line. I was particularly impressed by the amount of detail and build up she was able to include while at the same time maintaining the reader's interest with interesting characters and high sexual tension. Seeing all the V-commandos that made appearances in her previous books together was a treat. For such a relatively new author, Low certainly is well versed in her ability to portray male camaraderie.
Elena, who is one of the main characters of the novel, is attempting to become the supersoldier spy by being taking part in testing of a new drug invented by the agency. It is a very dangerous project and she has to prove herself worthy of the privilege. She also has to work closely with her monitor for whom she has an undeniable attraction. However, in the beginning she doesn't get to know him in the flesh, just in the virtual reality that is such a huge part of her experiment. Hell (her nickname) is the perfect mix of contradictions. She is out going and self-confident and she can kick some serious butt. Her monitor is just like her. He breaks boundaries and darn near sets the book on fire with his sex appeal. Hell is obviously there for training but at the same time, the romance between her and the monitor is growing and Low drops hints that there is something more to her involvement with the experimental project.
Overall this was an awesome demonstration of Gennita's skills. It's fast paced and even though several characters from her past books made an appearance, it can be read as a stand alone. I can not wait until Virtually Hers, the second novel in the trilogy, is released and I wait with bated breath to discover how Hell will deal with her shocking discovery at the end of Virtually His.

Virtually good and interesting, March 3, 2008
I found this book good enought to merit multiple reads! I actually like it better than her previous two books, because it was so unsual and sensual! The technology was terrific and could be followed if you pay attention. I am even enjoying it more on the second read. Can't wait for the next installment! Why is it taking so long???

Virtually NOW - Great read!, September 25, 2008
I enjoyed this book so much, and have been waiting forever for her next installment. This is a very detailed read, and for that reason, it was great for me as a 'getaway' book, but with enough info on the 'virtual reality' theme to definitely make it relevant to what is possible in the now, and the future. And it was steamy, to me at least. I definitely saw it as a romance. I also enjoy the strong, powerful, yet feminine women characters Ms. Low continues to deliver.
Please, please let me know when 'Virtually Hers' will come out. I like her style very much, and it reminds me of the Psy characters that Nalini
Singh has been portraying..You probably would enjoy this most if you are into 'mind' games, strong men, AND strong women, but this series has so much potential. I will be greatly disappointed if it does not continue. Speaking of Mind Games, Christine Feehan's military series is great, too. As a former U.S. Marine myself, that happens to be into technology, this was a refreshing read. Please don't take some of these reviews seriously. Give it a try... You'll be pleasantly surprised -
Note: It works best if you start at the beginning of her series, though, as they all build on each other, and make more sense of what is going on. This is about book number 6.Also, Cherry Adair is a must read as well, as her books reference a team called 'T-FLAC', which has its own paranormal unit in 3 books..anyway, happy reading!!!
