"Definitely a Keeper!"
I don't like to read books that would apply to my every
day life. I want to read books about people and places
that are totally opposite of me and mine. I want to read
about relationships almost too intense, and lifestyles
almost impossible to imagine, the undercover world of
spies and real time warriors fighting evil most people
never know about, where each day or decision can be your
last. You get the drift. Gennita Low offers the intense
relationships, the total alpha male warriors, the living
on edge lifestyles . . . she offers an escape into Spy
Game and The Bourne Supremacy scenarios with the added
kick of a scorching romance. I have read all of her
published work several times each, and anxiously wait for
each new installment. Her latest offering, The Hunter, is a 4th installment in a
series of counter terrorism books built around a romance,
or maybe vice versa. While each book is a stand alone
book, you do much better to read all of them in order
because so many characters from previous books make
appearances. Lots of authors write loves scenes so bland that when
reading their books, I just skip over those parts of it.
Ms. Low writes scenes that could be termed erotica, but
whatever you want to call it, I love her style. In The
Hunter, she deals with terrorists financing their
endeavors with gun running, prostitution and slavery. Hawk McMillan, a Navy SEAL, is infiltrating a
terrorist/slavery ring, trying to find out who is the king
pin so that his team can bring him down. Amber Hutchens
is a CIA tracker that he needs for his current mission.
Because of the very serious nature of their work, the
practical jokes they pull on each other, kind of a let off
steam exercise, are hilarious and inventive. From the
first page on, I could not put this book down. I am
anxiously awaiting the next book, and cannot recommend
this book, or its predecessors, enough. If you like the
writing styles of Linda Howard, Fiona Brand, Shannon
McKenna, or Anne Stuart, then you will add Gennita Low to
your instant purchase list.

SummaryNavy SEAL commander Hawk McMillan is the man they send on
the most dangerous assignments. Now he's onthe trail of a
drug and arms-trafficking kingpin hiding somewhere in the
mountains of Macedonia. While he prefers working solo, he
will never be able to infiltrate his quarry's organization
without help. His mission—and his life—depend on
Amber Hutchens, an ace CIA tracker who knows the terrain . .
. and whose fire and beauty are distractions that could get
them both killed.
A dedicated professional, Amber knows she's placing her own
life at risk by joining forces with this tough, enigmatic
warrior. But many others will die if she doesn't. The
biggest challenge will be resisting her attraction to
Hawk—a battle that's becoming more difficult by the
moment. Because caring too much can lead to mistakes.
And one mistake will be too many ...
