[...]I hadn't read any of the other books in the Super Agent series, but was still able to follow along without any issue.As far as romantic suspense, go this  had some great moments, and some moments that were cheesy but still enjoyable, and moments where I felt let down. It was an overall okay read that took me a bit longer than normal to get through because it didn't capture my complete attention. I could set it down and work on other things without fretting. It's like that old late night infomercial "Just set it and forget it..."The plot has a James Bond feel to it- CIA going undercover, handsome operative falls for the girl, lots of danger around every corner.  The beginning I did enjoy, and had great expectations for Ryan and Anya...there was a lot of passion in those first few pages. Two people thrown together during a dire situation that forced them to work together. I like those stories, but this one fizzled about midway.I found Anya and Ryan's romance cliche. There were stolen moments together that seemed forced and contrived. It didn't really happen naturally, and I was frustrated at times with the lack of build up between them. It was also heavy on the science mumbo jumbo that bore me. A lot of it seemed like something out of a sci-fi fiction, and I just wasn't wholly into it.The villain Ivano had a crazy element to him. I'd compare his role as to that of Hitler's. He was hell bent on purifying Russia's blood lines and creating a world with a perfect race. This is where the science comes it.Overall, good read for those people who don't mind the things mentioned above. Good triumphs over evil and all that. The writing was alright, but I'm not interested in continuing the series personally.[...]
