Review: Cold Spite by Toni Anderson

Author: Toni Anderson
Publisher: Toni Anderson
Publication Date: October 2024

 When FBI Agent Delilah Quinn survives an attempt on her life, she pretends to be dead in order to outwit her attacker. There is only one person she can turn to for help—a man she never wanted to see again…a man who abandoned her five years ago and left her heartbroken. A man definitely on the killer’s hit list.

FBI Hostage Rescue Operator Cas Demarco lives with the burning regret of choosing to join HRT and leaving Delilah behind. News of her death devastates him. Then she calls him out of the blue and he can’t help but seize this one last chance to make things right.

With both Delilah and Cas targeted for death, a task force is set up to catch their would-be killer, who they believe is a disgraced former Navy SEAL they helped convict of drug trafficking. Out of prison and on a ruthless quest for retribution, the former SEAL is eliminating everyone who wronged him—without leaving a shred of evidence behind.

Can Delilah and Cas prove who’s responsible for the attempts on their lives and have a second chance at a future together? Or will the rogue ex-SEAL double-down on his promise to destroy them both?

Cold Spite is the fifth book in the Cold Justice: Most Wanted series.  It can definitely be read as a stand alone book.  Even though characters from other books show up in this one, you won't be lost. This one is Cas and Delilah's story.    Cas and Delilah had a secret relationship while undercover.  Once the op was over, Cas walked away because he thought it would be best for both of them.  Now they find themselves thrown together because someone is trying to kill them.

This is a great addition to the series. It is an action packed second chance romance. While you kind of know who is after the couple, there are a few surprises as well.  Along with the mystery and the action, there is a sweet second chance at love.  I loved following along as Delilah slowly came to forgive Cas and to understand what motivated him.  She also had a heartbreaking secret.  The ending was really cute.  I definitely recommend this one.
