Review: Cold Heat by Toni Anderson

Author: Toni Anderson
Publisher: Toni Anderson Inc.
Publication date: January 2026

 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.

Cold heat is the 7th installment in the Cold Justice: Most Wanted series.  This one is Jordan and Daisy's story.  It's one of my favorite tropes, fake romance mixed with high stakes suspense.  As with all of the books in this series, the action is fast paced and intense.  There were a lot of "edge of your seat" moments that kept the book moving. Because of that, I didn't mind the amount of technical information about nuclear energy and reactors. 

I also really loved Jordan and Daisy together.  I loved that it wasn't insta-love and they had a little bit of a history.  Jordan's past and his loss was so heartbreaking.  I was rooting for him to realize he did deserve a future with Daisy.   I also loved that Daisy was intelligent and driven.  They were a great match.  I definitely recommend this one.  I can't wait to see whose story is next.
