Facing Fear (Shadowy Assassins (S.A.S.S.), Book 2) Mass Market Paperback – February 24, 2004

I enjoy reading books that are part of a series. I absolutely loathe having to re-read what I read two books ago to explain the current one. Ms. Low is able to introduce threads that faintly whisper of a future character development without explicitly saying when or how: we are left with the expectation. The character then is rewarded with his (or her) own story and all those "I wonder why"s, and "huum"s we experienced when we first met them are hinted at, pulling you in like the fly to the spider.All the elements of an exciting read happen: danger, romance, drama, and sex. The difference between Gennita Low and most authors of the military "danger, romance, drama, and sex" variety is that each story is different, not a cookie cutter version of the initial book in the series with a change of name of the characters. And, since I happened to just pick a title when I first read Ms. Low, I can pretty much guarantee that whether you read the different stories forward, or decide to dig out the stories prior to one you are reading, they stand alone.Thank you Ms. Low.

It was a terrific story that held my interest with enough suspense to keep me reading it from front to back. If you like spies, mystery with romance mixed in, this book is for you!

The plot was complex spanning over a decade. Enough characters to keep it realistic but not too many to keep track. Nikki and Rick make for an interesting couple each with complex strenghths and weaknesses. This book felt like it was meatier then some of the others. I found i really wanted to take my time and enjoy this book. This one goes under my, "ding, ding, ding!!!" category! Really loved it.

This book was excellent but have to admit I read these books out of sequence.Into Danger should have led into Facing fear but I ended up reading the last one next which was the Hunter.It should have been The Protecter. I still like her leading into the next book at the end of each book and have enjoyed all of them although I managed to mix them up.She manages to bring the main characters together very nicely at the end of each story,with you wanting to know what happens to some of the secondary characters. I hope we find out what happens to Cam and Patty and Also will Alex ever capture T. as she has avoided him in almost every book ,Wonder too, if Jed will ever meet his match. Hopefully a lady will come along and knock his socks off as he is so full of himself.

Gennita Low's books are usually excellent reads; I've read a lot of her books. However, there was something about this book that had me skipping pages -- I was getting so SICK and TIRED of the "poor me" Leah/Nikki saga that I just started flippin' pages (which is so not like me; it just seemed like the same earth was plowed over and over and over), so I must say that this book wasn't one of the better books I've read by this author. I have read the whole series of books before this book and I really like the characters this author has developed in the series. I have a feeling another book about Cam/Patty Ostler is in the works (because I don't think we ever found out what truly happened to those young, budding lovers; other than they're in a crate somewhere, someplace, out there....) *Hope those were not the pages I flipped.Having said the above, it took me a long time to finish this book. The storyline was somewhat far-fetched -- How come Nikki/Leah could remember everything her grandmother told her about chuung, ghosts and frozen hearts as a kid but couldn't remember other things? -- it just -- wow, the plot just drug on and on, and there was so much information thrown in this whole mix; I wonder if the writing partner didn't do most of the writing and was just supervised by Ms. Low. I hope I am wrong about that because it really, really honks me off when an author gives up their name for others to write behind. Case in point: James Patterson (author de jour or whoever needs a leg up at the time) and Sherrilyn Kenyon (Diana Love).

It is a fascinationing series , Facing Fears Is a psychological thriller dfferent from Into Danger, but equally excelent. I loved that the principal characters deal with hard issues, and truly who are we to critized them for their good, bad and lack of choices. The characters are very human, very real, and I can not stop myself to feel proud of them at the end. Think about it , what would you do in their places?

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!

Rereading all of them but didn't leave reviews the first few times. Best to read in order so the intertwining plots make sense. Go to Gennitas web page for tons if extras
