The Agency: Vanya & Lance

by J.J. Massa

Vanya Ambrozak, doctor of chemistry, and Lancelot Morgan, secret agent extraordinaire, couldn't be more different. Both men are in service to The Agency, however. They must both work together to fight terrorism throughout the world. Usually, the two men serve separately, only passing one another at occasional staff meetings. An assignment that required the use of both men's talent's would have to be unusual to say the least. In fact, such an assignment would be unusual and dangerous. Lance is used to danger. Time and again he's used his body to aid his government. Why does it bother him to see the little chemist put his safety on the line? Why should he care if the younger man sleeps with a terrorist for the good of The Agency? Vanya understands about volunteering. When your government tells you that you have a choice, you smile, nod, and do as you're told. But now he's volunteered for something he's never done before. Thankfully, Agent Lancelot Morgan will be there to help.

About the author

So, about me. I’ve been writing sensual romance—and some other stuff—for about five years now. What a busy five years it’s been, too. I’ve met a lot of great people along the way.

I’m blind and have been for more than a decade. I don’t go anywhere without my best buddy, Cosmo. He’s my guide dog. Once in a while, he turns up in my stories, incognito, of course. He and I travel when we can via planes and trains; we don’t really care for long car trips. Hmmm…what else? We have a couple of cats that keep us on our toes. They’re good for tons of aggravation and entertainment. I got them for Cosmo, but I don’t think he appreciates them as much as he should.

We love the beach, though we don’t get there as often as we’d like. I live on the Jersey Shore so the only excuse I have for not hitting the sand is that it’s cold and besides that, I can’t drive.

When I’m not writing, I teach blind people how to use adaptive technology so that they can surf the web. I meet plenty of interesting people that way and it keeps me from ever getting complacent. …Not to mention the inspiration for stories that I get. It’s a job that keeps on giving. Actually, I’m not sure it’s really a job; more like a thing I do.

Cosmo likes chunky peanut butter and rawhide bones. I drink way too much coffee—black and strong. I like red wine at night sometimes but he’s a teetotaler. He stays away from alcohol and chocolate these days.

And that’s all I can think of just now. I hope you enjoy the website. Mae’s done some great things with it. I’ll keep writing if you keep reading. Just bear with me if I slow down now and then. Thank you. I really appreciate you stopping by.

Ah ah Mrs Massa, you are a little too stitch to your Eastern Europe Man - Western American Man love, aren't you?

Again, Vanya is an ukrain scientist like Vanko of Knights and Cookies. His lover is named Lancelot, instead of Galahad (great difference, isn't it?), but Lance woos him with vodka and chocolate cookis like Galahad. And Vanya is as innocent and naive as Vanko...

All right, after this too similar incipts, the story is a little more complex and exciting than Knights and Cookies. Vanya is a college professor who helps the Agency with research projects but then The Old Man asks Vanya to be in a mission on field: he has to seduce a traitor. But Vanya has no idea how to do it, he is virgin and very shy with other people. Lancelot, his backup and handsome and clever agent, is up to teach to Vanya all about sex but in the end he finds himself caught in the web of this alluring little professor.

Vanya is a cute and easy to love character, sweet like a butter cookies. Lance is the perfect knight in shining armour who always arrives in time to rescue his lover and brings him on his horse inside the safe wall of his castle...

I don't want to do spoiler, but I have to say that the suspence plot in this four enstalment is a little more complex and realistic than the other I have read in this series, so, till now, this is the best in the Agency series by J.J. Massa.

[Jimmy Hanson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not one of the best, in the "Agency" series for JJ Massa. Vanya's complete lack of carnal knowledge is not really believable, and I couldn't help but feel that Lancelot was taking advantage of that a great deal.
Then comes the fact that Vanya must 'seduce' another scientist? It just ... made little to no sense. However, Vanya's reaction to the other scientist's touch [completely unmoved, even somewhat repulsed after a kiss] served to help balance out the coupling with Lance. ie. Vanya wasn't just reacting so strong sexually to anyone who showed an interest, only to Lance, who he cared for.
Would recommend reading it because it's part of the series, but not a great stand-alone.

Now see, after reading the previous reviews, I almost gave this the brush off. True, it was somewhat similar to another story that I enjoyed, but the outcome was totally different.
And, as with the other similar story, I wouldn't mind reading a sequel Ms. Massa!
