Summary: WOWEEE This book is burning
Comment: Facing Fear is the second book from a rising star Gennita Low. If you haven't read any of her books yet go and read one now. In FACING FEAR it is a darker, more intense, sexier than any book I have read recently. The hero is Rick Harden (from the first book INTO DANGER) is a beaurcat with a stick up his you know where after he had been burned badly in the past and vows that he will do everything by the books. Heroine Nikki Taylor is our heroine who is trying to face her fears of the horrors from a mission gone wrong. Rick and Nikki are two tormented people who needs each other to face their fears and get on with their future. What I love so much about this book is that there isn't any whiny hero or heroine. These two characters are extremely well matched. If you expect to see the usual I hate you/I love you characters you won't find it here. The sex will set the sheets smokin'. Nikki a GEM gal is of course worthy of the hero. Rick is very much an alpha male but he does not just redeem himself at the end of the book the way most heros do, instead he will redeem himself as the book progesses. Nikki is fragile but suprisingly strong and never acts the victim or a wimp. People who read Suzanne Brockmann will love this book, bbbuuuuttt in my humble opinion I think that Gennita Low is even better. Why do I say this considering that Suzanne Brockmann (whom I enjoy a lot too) is the queen of the men in uniforms also known as the tall,dark, and dangerous genre? Unlike a Brockmann book where I wish sometimes for more love scenes, more action, more romance, more this or that, I find that Gennita Low is able to maintain a balance on all the things I want. Nothing is sacrificed and that is incredibly hard for an author to do, and this is only her second book!! The first book INTO DANGER was more lighthearted and playful. FACING FEAR is even hotter than the first book, but it is much much darker. It deals more with the psychology of the human psyche. There is a surprising twist at the end and it will be revealed in one of the most touching scene. This book is just excellent. I can't stand waiting another year for Gennita Low's next book to be out.

Summary: Good read! Intriguing characters and steamy...
Comment: 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: Not all that good
Comment: 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.
