Review: Cold Heat by Toni Anderson

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.

Review: Cold Truth by Toni Anderson

Publication Date: May 2025

 Rowena Smith may be a top-shelf librarian, but solid investigative skills won’t keep her safe after her newest research project—tracking down her biological father—leads her to a brutally murdered body. The scene offers up one hope for assistance: the card of FBI Supervisory Special Agent Kurt Montana. Alone and terrified in a foreign country, Rowena places the call.

About to board a flight home after a failed mission, Kurt can’t ignore the plea in Rowena’s voice. She could be the killer or she could be an innocent bystander—either way, he senses she holds information vital to his case. When Kurt’s flight takes off without him—only to crash into the African savanna killing everyone onboard—he knows it’s no coincidence. Rowena saved his life.

On the run from powerful enemies, he and Rowena pose as a couple—never mind that she’s much too young for him. As danger escalates and they inch closer to the secret someone is trying desperately to prevent them from revealing, their fake relationship spirals into something far more perilous. And deeply personal.

The game gets deadlier with each and every step toward the truth. But there’s no turning back and they’ll need to rely on their skills and their wits—and each other—if they hope to survive.

Cold Truth is the sixth book in the Cold Justice: Most Wanted Series.  The events of this book take place during the events of a couple of the previous books in this series.  It also ties up some loose ends from the Cold Justice: The Negotiators series.   This one is Kurt and Rowena's story.   When I saw the length of the book, I was a little taken aback.  It's definitely the longest  book in the series.  However, after reading it, I understand why the author took her time to tell this story.  There was a lot packed into this one.  

There were a few scenes where I felt like I was holding my breath because they were so tense.  I also loved the relationship that developed between Kurt and Rowena.  They are definitely one of my favorite couples from this series.   We get to see some characters from previous series and boy do they get justice finally.  I don't want to spoil too much.  I will highly recommend this one.  I can't wait to see what might develop between Jordan and Daisy!

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.

Review: Cold Fury by Toni Anderson

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

Seven years ago, Hope Harper was a star defense attorney with a great life and a beautiful family—until she got the wrong defendant released, and he turned around and viciously slaughtered her husband and child. Since then, the only thing Hope cares about is locking bad guys behind bars where they can’t hurt anyone else. When the killer escapes from a maximum security prison during a winter storm, Hope refuses to run and hide.

The FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team is called in to protect the handful of public figures the notorious serial killer threatened. Operator Aaron Nash draws the short straw—he’ll be heading up Assistant District Attorney Hope Harper’s close protection detail.

Much to Aaron’s frustration, the cool blonde refuses to go into protective custody. As the hours and days wear on, Aaron and Hope manage a fragile truce. He begins to understand and admire the tenacious prosecutor, and the two of them begin to work together.

As the escaped serial killer’s rampage spins on, Hope knows it’s just a matter of time until he comes for her. Except something’s changed. For the first time since losing her family, she has something to live for. But is history doomed to repeat itself?

Cold Fury is the fourth book in the Cold Justice - Most Wanted series.  This one is Aaron and Hope's story. The book works very well as a stand alone book.  Characters from previous books show up here, but they only enhance to story.  Seven years before, her husband and daughter were brutally murdered after she got the wrong person off.  Now, the killer has escaped prison and Hope needs to be protected.  Aaron is the only person who can do it.

This was a great addition to the series.  I loved the chemistry between Hope and Aaron.  They both actually bring baggage to the relationship, but that really only made them stronger.  I thought Hope's grief over her loss was realistic.  The story is fast paced and kept me on my toes.  I definitely didn't see that ending coming.  I highly recommend this one.

Review: Cold Snap by Toni Anderson

Publication Date: June 2023

Evidence that a notorious criminal is hiding out in a small, seaside town in rural Maine leads to an FBI agent going undercover in this new Romantic Thriller from New York Times bestselling author Toni Anderson.

Grady Steel returns to the insular community of Deception Cove, Maine, where he spent his troubled youth unfairly labeled the town’s bad boy. Now a member of the FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team, Grady is on a risky undercover mission, hunting one of the FBI’s Most Wanted fugitives.

Recovering from a broken marriage, Brynn Webster comes home to the sleepy small town—where nothing ever happens—to help her parents run their seaside cafe during her mother’s illness. After diving into the frigid waters of the winter harbor to rescue a dead man, Brynn begins to realize that the ocean isn’t the only place swirling with dangerous undercurrents.

Grady befriends the pretty manager of the local cafe in an effort to unearth the town’s closely guarded secrets. Deceiving Brynn isn’t easy, though, especially when he starts to fall for her. Then, when decades-old crimes lead to modern-day murder, Grady’s mission becomes a race against time as he strives to catch a ruthless killer—before Brynn becomes the next victim. All the books can be read as standalone novels.

Cold Snap is the third book in the Cold Justice-Most Wanted series.  I have so far loved and devoured every book in the series.  This one was no exception.  Toni Anderson has a way of just sucking you right in within the first chapter and you feel compelled to keep going until the exciting ending. Each one can be read as a stand alone.   I loved the characters and the mystery.  I did not call that reveal! Grady and Brynn were perfect together.  The ending was so sweet.  I also just loved the tenson between Ryan and Meghan.  I can't wait for their book!  I highly recommend this one!

Review: Cold Deceit by Toni Anderson

Author: Toni Anderson
Publisher: Toni Anderson Inc.
Publication date: December 2022

When forensic anthropologist Zoe Miller stumbles across a murder victim in the blisteringly hostile Sonoran Desert, she triggers a chain of events that puts her in the crosshairs of a ruthless killer.

FBI HRT operator Seth Hopper is on secret assignment near the Mexican border when he suddenly finds himself on a rescue mission. The former Navy SEAL is ordered to protect Zoe, whether she likes it or not, which sets them off on a cross-country journey back to Virginia.

Zoe has good reason not to trust a man like Seth, but there is no denying the scorching heat that flares between them, hotter than the desert sun. Can Zoe find justice for the murdered woman? Or will the killers close in to destroy them both…

Cold Deceit is the second book in the Cold Justice: Most Wanted series.  This one involves Seth and Zoe.  Zoe's job as a forensic anthropologist lands her in hot water with a drug cartel boss.  Seth Hopper happens to be on a mission in the area and ends up rescuing Zoe.  Turns out she is the daughter of the vice President and Seth is tasked to getting her across the country in one piece.

I am a big fan of this author's books and this one was no exception.  I devoured the book. I was looking for a good romantic suspense and this hit the spot.  It was fast paced with scenes that had me on the edge of my seat.  I loved the relationship that developed between Zoe and Seth.  There was definitely a lack of communication and I was rooting for them to figure things out.  The epilogue was really sweet.  I don't want to spoil the plot, so you'll have to read it.  I highly recommend it.

Review: Cold Silence by Toni Anderson

Author: Toni Anderson
Publication Date: June 2022

FBI Hostage Rescue Team member Shane Livingstone is frustrated when an injury sidelines him during an operation to catch a sadistic killer. A killer who auctions off vicious ways to torture his victims and screens the events for money on the dark web. When a teammate dies during the op, a devastated Shane vows to track down the monster responsible—but to do so he’ll need access to specialized skills he doesn’t possess.

A bloody game of cat and mouse…

As a white-hat hacker at Alex Parker’s security firm, Yael Brooks knows how to track predators through the darkest recesses of cyberspace. She can’t say no to Shane’s request…even though she fears her own secrets may put her at risk.

With a serial killer who makes it personal…

Shane and Yael must work together as a team if they hope to stop this psychopath. As they begin to grow closer, Shane demands Yael’s complete trust, but trust is the one thing Yael is reluctant to give. As the chase intensifies and more people die, it becomes obvious that the killer knows exactly who Yael is and plans to make both her and Shane pay the ultimate price for getting in his way.

Cold Silence is the latest book by Toni Anderson.  It's the first book in the Cold Justice: Most Wanted series.  It can be read as a stand alone.  Even though it is an off shoot of her earlier Cold Justice series.  There are characters from the earlier books that do show up here, but you aren't missing any important information.  It was nice to see how previous couples are doing though. I love starting a new book by this author because I know I'm in for a great adventure.

I thought this one was really fun.  It was action packed and had me holding my breath in a few scenes.  Especially the ending scenes...talk about intense!  The msytery had me engaged from the beginning.  I liked that it was very technical and computer based. The story definitely brutal in some scenes.  As for the couple, I liked Shane more in the beginning that I did Yael. But in the end, I could understand her reluctance for not wanting to get close to anyone because of her past.  I highly recommend this one as well as any book by this author. I listened to the audio version of the book and highly recommend that format. I can't wait to read the next book.

Review: Cold as Ice by Toni Anderson

Author: Toni Anderson
Publisher: Toni Anderson
Publication Date: September 2021

Volcanologist Darby O’Roarke survived a terrifying ordeal in the South China Sea, only to find herself framed for murder when she gets home to Alaska. Desperate for help, she calls the one man she can’t get out of her head, FBI Supervisory Special Agent Eban Winters. Can Eban help Darby find the real killer before Darby once again becomes a target?

Cold As Ice takes place after the events of the previous book, Cold Cruel Kiss. Darby, who was in that book is finally moving on with her life and beginning to heal from her ordeal.  After a night out with friends, she wakes up on a friend's couch.  Not remembering anything, she quickly discovers that her friend has been murdered.  Eban may be the only one who can help her find out who is setting her up.  I really had a lot of fun listening to the audiobook for this one.  It was fast paced and kept me engaged.  There are a lot of twists.  I thought I had it figured out but then found out I was so wrong.  I love when that happens. 

I also loved the romance between Ebon and Darby.  I loved how he took his time with her and let her set the pace when they were finally intimate.  Given what she had been through, he was very sweet and patient. I loved that scene.  This story is also a great commentary on how social media and town gossip can get out of hand when it comes to accusations.  It was horrible that way Darby was treated by the townspeople.  Unfortunately, it is a reality that we see all too often these days.  This was a great addition to the series and one I highly recommend.

Check out the newest release from NYT & USA Today Bestselling Author Toni Anderson. 
COLD CRUEL KISS is a heart-stopping and addictive romantic thrilled and it just went live! 

Author: Toni Anderson

Publication Date: January 2021
 
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.
 

My thoughts:

Cold Cruel Kiss is the latest book in the Cold Justice: Crossfire series.  This is Max's story. FBI negotiator Max is called to the US Embassy in Argentina after the Ambassador's daughter is kidnapped.  There he teams up with mousy personal assistant, Lucy, to try to find out what happened.

This is another solid romantic suspense from Ms. Anderson.  I really enjoyed this one. I found the espionage aspect of the book engaging and it had me guessing. Not knowing if I could trust Lucy kept me on my toes.  I definitely didn't call who the kidnappers were.  I loved the romance between Lucy and Max.  Talk about steamy!    I highly recommend this one.  I can't wait to see whose story is next!

My thoughts:

Cold Wicked Lies is the third book in the Cold Justice: Crossfire series.  It's the second one that I have read from this series.  I have gone back and begun to read the series that this is a spin off from.  This one is Charlotte and Payne's story.  Romance wise, I loved this couple.  I loved how they had to be joined at the hip essentially in order to figure out how to get along.  Their banter was a lot of fun.  

The suspense part was equally enjoyable.  I liked the combination of the FBI trying to solve a murder during a pending blizzard all while trying to deal with a militia group locked in a compound.  Sounds crazy, right?  It was suspenseful and kept me guessing.  I highly recommend this one.  I can't wait to read more from this author.

Review: A Cold Dark Place by Toni Anderson

Author: Toni Anderson
Publisher:Toni Anderson
Publication Date: March 2014

Former CIA assassin Alex Parker works for a clandestine government organization hell-bent on taking out serial killers and pedophiles before they enter the justice system. Alex doesn't enjoy killing, but he's damn good at it.

FBI Special Agent Mallory Rooney has spent years hunting the lowlife who abducted her identical twin sister eighteen years ago. Now, during an on-going serial killer investigation, Mallory begins to suspect there's a vigilante operating outside the law.

When Mallory starts asking questions, Alex is ordered to watch her. As soon as they meet, the two begin to fall in love. But the lies and betrayals that define Alex's life threaten to destroy them both—especially when the man who stole her sister all those years ago makes Mallory his next target.

A Cold Dark Place is the first book in the Cold Justice series.  The story involves a former CIA agent who works undercover for a secret unofficial government group as an assassin.  Mallory is an FBI agent whose twin sister was kidnapped when they were younger.  He drive to figure out what happened to her sister has brought her to join the FBI.  The two end up working together to hunt down a serial killer who seems to have Mallory.

I really enjoyed the mystery part of the book.  There were a lot of characters mixed into the pot, so it was hard to figure out the identity of the killer.  I also liked the main characters Mallory and ALex.  Their chemistry was wonderful.  I was not sure if Mallory would be able to see the grey area that Alex lives in.  So, I was rooting for them both.  I don't want to talk plot too much because there are some surprises.  I listened to the audiobook and really enjoyed consuming the book in that medium.  I highly recommend this one and can't wait to read the next one.

Review: Colder Than Sin by Toni Anderson

Author: Toni Anderson
Publisher:Toni Anderson
Publicaion Date: October 2019

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?

Colder Than Sin is the second book in the Cold Justice series.  I believe this is a spin-off from another series by this author.  There were characters that seemed to have back story that wasn't shared in this book.  However, the book still worked well as a stand alone novel.  I listened to the audio book and really enjoyed it in that format.

For the most part, I enjoyed the book.  It's a pretty solid romantic suspense.  It's very fast paced and kept my attention.  I didn't call the twist in the end.  I did like Haley and Quentin together. I could understand  their reasons for being hesitant to be in a relationship. They both have their baggage. The only thing I didn't love was what happened in the beginning.  After Haley is grossly propositioned and feels violated, she almost immediately turns around and sleeps with Quentin.  That was kind of icky for me. Especially since she barely knew Quentin. Beyond that, I would recommend giving this one a shot.

I should add in that there is an almost rape scene and talk about other rapes that take place off page. So, if that is a trigger for you, you might want to skip this one.  

 

Review & Interview: Dark Waters by Toni Anderson

Please welcome author Toni Anderson as she promotes her latest book: Dark Waters.  Enjoy our interview with her after my thoughts.

Publisher: Montlake Romance
Date of publication: August 2013

It may be summer, but schoolteacher Anna Silver’s trip to the coastal town of Bamfield is anything but a vacation. She’s on the run, desperate to stay one step ahead of her father’s

murderer and determined to track down the one man she’s been told to trust: her father’s old cell mate, Brent Carver. But when she finds him, she discovers not a kind, elderly artist but a dangerously hot alpha male with blood on his hands.

Loyal to the core, Brent would never turn away his friend’s daughter when she comes seeking help. He can’t deny Anna his protection…just as he can’t deny the instantaneous attraction he struggles to keep in check. But as their passion blazes out of control, a sadistic killer is on the hunt to stop Anna from uncovering his dark secrets.

My thoughts:

From the first page, Dark Waters takes off running and doesn't stop. I enjoyed the ride.  It's apparently a sequel to Dangerous Waters, but I didn't really feel like I was missing anything in reading this.  I just want to go back and read Finn and Holly's story now.   I loved Anna and Brent.  Because Brent got to know Anna through her letter, I didn't feel like their romance was rushed.  While there wasn't a lot of suspense, there were a couple of surprises in the end.  I definitely recommend the book.

Kari& Autumn: What inspired you to become a writer?

Toni: I was always a voracious reader. Growing up in the UK I devoured Fantasy novels and Mills & Boon. Then I moved to Canada in the nineties and discovered Nora Roberts and Catherine Coulter and Karen Robards et al. When I hit my mid-twenties I ran out of books to read (I now sympathize with authors who fret because it can take six months to write a book and a reader gets through it in a day!) and started thinking maybe I could try writing something. It took me five years to finish my first novel—I guess I learned my craft by constantly rewriting that story—but it was published and became my first release HER SANCTUARY. Nowadays, I write much faster.

Kari& Autumn: Where do you come up with the ideas for your books?

Toni: Often two or three ideas collide and give me an idea for a book. I watch and read a lot of news articles and I’m curious about odd stuff—archeology, biology, war, aberrant behavior, the British SAS, law enforcement , environmental issues, history. I’ve discovered that whatever weird idea I come up with people have always done something stranger in real life.

Kari& Autumn: What exciting projects are waiting in the wings?

Toni: I’m working on a couple of things right now. The first is trying to self publish a much requested follow up to HER SANCTUARY featuring two of the secondary characters from that book. I’m also working on a new Romantic Suspense novel with a FBI heroine and a hero who’s an assassin. Then I want to write another British SAS hero to follow up THE KILLING GAME and I’m plotting a new trilogy featuring three cop brothers. Life’s busy.

Kari& Autumn: Who is your favorite literary character and why?

Toni: I’d love to say someone sophisticated and intellectual, but it’s probably Sam Starrett out of Suzanne Brockmann’s Troubleshooters series. I love him because he’s honorable but makes mistakes and loves his woman the way a man is supposed to love a woman, with his soul. He’s not perfect but I want to know what’s going on with Sam. Always.

Kari& Autumn: Just for fun, if you could be any animal, what would it be and why?

Toni: Looking at my dog sleeping all day I’d say her :) But actually I think I’d like to be an eagle, soaring over the world, unafraid of heights unlike this pathetic human. They are spectacular creatures and always look so smart and beautiful.

Thanks so much for having me today!
