Book Review: Cold Heat by Toni Anderson

 


 I have chosen Cold Heat by Toni Anderson to review. 

I received an ARC copy of the e-book for an honest review of this book.

---------------------------------------------------
Here is a brief description from Goodreads:
Every operator has a weakness.
She just became his.

FBI HRT operator Jordan Krychek has built his life around discipline and duty, hiding scars that run bone-deep. The night his family was murdered, the man responsible vanished into the wind. Now that ghost has reappeared—and a woman Jordan has sworn to protect is caught in the crossfire.

Daisy Montana doesn’t need a bodyguard, least of all her father’s dangerously intense teammate. But when a terrorist targets her area of research, and a killer from Jordan’s past resurfaces, she becomes a pawn in a deadly game of vengeance.

Forced into hiding—and into each other’s arms—the line between duty and desire combusts. From Mexico to Virginia, a relentless enemy draws them into a web of deception and betrayal. As the stakes rise and the body count climbs, Jordan and Daisy must untangle the mystery of what the next target might be, before it's too late.

This time, Jordan’s mission is personal. And protecting Daisy might cost him everything—including his heart.
COLD HEAT delivers explosive action, heart-stopping suspense, and the kind of forbidden love that will bring even the most hardened operator to his knees.

“Toni Anderson has a terrific voice for crime fiction.” - New York Times bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz.
---------------------------------------------------

This is book #7 in the Cold Justice: Most Wanted series. I love Toni Anderson's writing. Definitely loved this book!!

Intense. On the edge of my seat. Will Jordan catch the bad man?

I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

Book Review: Cold Rage by Toni Anderson

  


 I have chosen Cold Rage by Toni Anderson to review. 



I received an ARC copy of the e-book for an honest review of this book.

---------------------------------------------------
Here is a brief description from Goodreads:
In the remote Montana wilderness, a child has vanished—and time is running out.

When a fugitive accused of murdering his ex-wife disappears into the Montana backcountry with his nine-year-old daughter, FBI Hostage Rescue Team sniper Sebastian Black leads an intensive manhunt, battling snowstorms and brutal terrain in a race against the clock.

National Park Service ranger and search-and-rescue specialist Nora Deacon knows the mountains better than anyone. Alongside her K9 partner, Chance, she’s determined to find the missing girl. Nora is achingly familiar with what can happen when a child falls into the wrong hands.

As the search narrows, Sebastian and Nora are forced to work together in a fight for survival as much as a rescue operation. The closer they get to their target, the more dangerous the situation becomes—and the harder it is to ignore the attraction burning between them.

With a blizzard closing in, a desperate fugitive growing increasingly unstable, and a young girl’s life hanging in the balance, they’ll have to risk everything to bring her home alive—even if it means confronting secrets they’ve both worked hard to bury.

Cold Rage is Book 8 in the Cold Justice: Most Wanted series. Every book stands alone—start anywhere.

Readers can expect:
- 🖤 Slow-burn, forced-proximity romance
- 🖤 An FBI sniper hero and a haunted search-and-rescue ranger
- 🖤 A loyal K9 partner
- 🖤 A snowbound survival manhunt against the clock
- 🖤 A wounded heroine with a buried past
- 🖤 A child-in-peril race through the Montana wilderness
- 🖤 The Cold Justice team readers love

FBI: Most Wanted meets Yellowstone. For fans of Karen Rose, Kendra Elliot, and Laura Griffin.
---------------------------------------------------

This is book #8 in the Cold Justice: Most Wanted series. 

This is the story of FBI Hostage Rescue Team Sniper, Sebastian Black, and National Park Service Ranger and Search and Rescue specialist, Nora Deacon.   Loved this story so much. It had everything I love in a romantic suspense book: suspense. Intensity, past pain, and plenty of swoons. And the end was OMG!

I have loved everything I have read by Toni Anderson, and that won't ever change. I can't wait to read the next book in this series, Cold Touch, which is due to be out on June 4, 2027. Why June?

Book Review: Cold Cruel Kiss by Toni Anderson

I have chosen Cold Cruel Kiss by Toni Anderson  to review. 



I picked this e-book from the selection of Kindle Unlimited books.

---------------------------------------------------
Here is a brief description from Goodreads:
When the daughter of the US Ambassador to Argentina is kidnapped in broad daylight on Christmas Eve, the FBI sends one of its best negotiators to investigate.

Supervisory Special Agent Max Hawthorne arrives at an embassy thrown into chaos as US and local law enforcement hustle to track the young woman. Is this a simple kidnap for ransom, or part of a political agenda? Could it be something more sinister?

Lucy Aston has something to hide. Preferring to stay in the shadows, the lowly, fashion-challenged office assistant resents being assigned to help Max. But Max can’t resist a puzzle…he’s starting to suspect Lucy Aston is not what she seems.

When rumors emerge of a suspected Russian spy operating out of the embassy, Lucy’s carefully constructed life begins to crumble. As she and Max race to rescue the ambassador’s daughter, Lucy has to do whatever it takes to keep her cover from being blown—even if that means betraying the man she’s falling for.

Book Review: Cold Wicked Lies by Toni Anderson

 I have chosen Cold Wicked Lies by Toni Anderson  to review. 

I own this e-book on Amazon.


---------------------------------------------------
Here is a brief description from Goodreads:
In an effort to halt an armed standoff, FBI negotiator Charlotte Blood tries to unravel the mystery of a young woman’s death on a remote mountainside. Pity she has to fight her stubborn, sexy, Hostage Rescue Team counterpart every step of the way.

As a highly skilled operative, HRT leader Payne Novak doesn’t have time to play detective or make nice with killers who flout the law. His focus is getting inside the compound and ending the siege as quickly as possible.

Forced to work together, the battle-hardened HRT team leader and the quietly determined negotiator figure out they might have more in common than they anticipated. As the clock ticks, Charlotte discovers there are some dangers she can’t talk her way out of, and the race to unearth long-buried lies becomes a matter of survival for everyone on the mountain.
---------------------------------------------------

Payne and Charlotte can’t get along so their boss makes them work together for 72 hours.  Water & Oil!!  Their chemistry was off the charts.  Intrigue!

Book Review: Colder Than Sin by Toni Anderson

                           I have chosen Colder Than Sin by Toni Anderson to review. 

I own this copy from Amazon.




---------------------------------------------------
Here is a brief description from Goodreads:
Hostage Negotiators can talk themselves out of anything—except falling in love.

Top FBI negotiator Quentin Savage is hurled into his worst nightmare when a terrorist attack on a luxury hotel propels him from esteemed keynote speaker to powerless captive.

Haley Cramer is co-owner of a private security firm and prides herself on her independence, but she is shaken to the core when gunmen attack a conference she is attending. She survives, but only because Quentin Savage pretends she’s his wife.

Together Savage and Haley plot their escape from a ragtag army of brutal but efficient thugs while struggling to figure out exactly who the enemy is. Why was the conference attacked, and why was Quentin a specific target?

Omg. The ups and downs were awesome. The whole done it all was great. Made me think. I’m not going to say anymore so read this book.

Hostage Negotiators can talk themselves out of anything—except falling in love.

FBI Supervisory Special Agent Dominic Sheridan is an accomplished expert in the Crisis Negotiation Unit.
