Author Toni Anderson presents two great characters: an FBI agent heading up the hostage rescue team for an incident taking place in northern Washington State and the female FBI chief negotiator for the same incident. Conflicts arise between the two in the early going amid a complex mystery. Action becomes intense during the last third of the novel as the two individuals have to defend themselves and their colleagues in perilous situations. The female character injects a lot of good humor into the story.
Payne and Blood, what a combination. Sparks fly upon their first meeting, especially with each of them grumbling part of ... "Yipee-Kai-yay". One follows the rules, one doesn't and imagine being told to be hip to hip for 72 hours straight or go back to Quantico. The plot is complex with twists that I was not expecting, even at the end of the book. It's a definite page turner as you would expect from Ms. Anderson, the characters are complex and lovable at the same time. My first ever naked rescue, strip poker and charms ... "Whey did you get me a kitten charm? Is that some dubious reference to ... ?" Hilarious, and so sweet at the same time. I thoroughly enjoyed this chapter of the Cold Justice series and I highly recommend it.
I received this advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review.
5.0 out of 5 starsAnother amazing read from this series and author!

I don't know how she does it but, every book Toni writes gets better and better! I love every single thing she has written and this book is no different. Charlotte and Payne are thrown together but, not by choice. They can't get along so they are forced together so they can prove they can actually work as a team. Their banter and heat sizzle and I loved the journey of their relationship. The story was highly entertaining and as per usual Toni fashion, had me glued to the pages and guessing what could happen right up to the very end. A woman is murdered, people have been living in a bunker for years and they think one of them killed the woman. Nothing is what it seems. Another amazing, suspenseful and thrilling romance. I love seeing old faces from the Cold Justice series and getting to see what could be next. I can't wait for more from this outstanding series!
I had read the other reviews so was unsure whether I wanted to buy this book. But I was surprised. The situation for the leads was different. I wasn't keen on the initial constant arguing but once I got used to it, I got past it. It has the feel of a Mills & Boon book to start with (sorry, just my opinion) but it warms up to be as good as the rest of the series. It must be tough for authors to keep finding new ways for the characters to get together whist building a strong story around them. Top marks to TonI Anderson for her gripping books and strong characters. This one was different but still worth every penny. A different storyline, good characters that I wanted to know about and a satisfactory conclusion.
I pre-ordered this book as I’ve read all the others and loved it and this one did not disappoint. I’ve been reading a few different books lately and when I read this one I suddenly remembered why I bought them all. Great writing, great character interaction and the other books I read lately seems bland. Next level in my opinion if you like romantic suspense. Would like to know if there will be more though.
Excellent book loved every second, wow another rip roaring adventure with hot guys and gals. No doubt about it this was full on tactical moves we know from all Toni Anderson earlier books loved them all. I recommend to everyone to read all these fabulous books. I am looking forward to the next one . Thanks
I loved, loved, loved it! Wow such a good book crammed with action, suspense, great storyline and terrific characters. Loved the chemistry between Charlotte and Payne. A definite must read.
Have read all of Toni Anderson's Cold series, and enjoyed them. This was no exception and I found myself racing to the end. Really great suspensal read
