Cold Heat

Cold Justice® - Most Wanted

By: Toni Anderson

Narrated by: Eric G. Dove

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.

Critic reviews

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

Excellent!

All the good stuff you expect from Toni Anderson: loads of action, tight plotting, lots of heat, strong main characters, and the backup cast you know and love!

Hot and tense

There was absolutely nothing I disliked. I have read and listened to all of Toni’s books. Every one of them can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the cold series first to latest. All of them are filled with such knowledge, suspense and hot, hot romance. Can’t wait for the next one!!!

Another thrilling and sensational ride!

Jordan Krychek is an FBI HRT operator who is living a life of duty and service but is dealing with some deep-seated traumatic stress. He holds himself responsible for the death of his family because of his job. His family was murdered horrifically, and it haunts him that the perpetrator got away. His best friend and teammate, Kirk Montana, asks him to look after his daughter, Daisy, while he is away wrapping up another mission. Jordan takes this vow seriously and follows Daisy to another country, where she is attending a conference. That's where the trouble begins, and the excitement is non-stop! Jordan must save Daisy from the very man who murdered his family. Daisy is smart and helps Jordan bring this man to justice.

There were a few twists and turns and some betrayals from other team members that he thought he could trust. They also get help from some special FBI members we have come to love along the way. Eric G. Dove gives another stellar performance and brings the action to life. I honestly have given each of the books in this series 5 stars across the board. There is nothing bad to say about Toni Anderson's writing!

Bingeworthy

I stayed up entirely too late last night so I could finish listening to the ever yummy Eric G. Dove narrate this thrilling, enticing, action-packed book by Toni Anderson, and my only disappointment is that it, like all great books before it, came to an end.

Friendship, trust, betrayal, loss, courage, forgiveness, justice, and perseverance are some of the underlying themes in Daisy and Jordan’s twisty, steamy journey from enemies to lovers, as they try to stop a hateful mastermind from destroying everything and everyone they love.

I gratefully received a free copy of this audiobook, but that did not affect my review.

The detail in this story is amazing.

I love stories about the Hostage Rescue Team and the brave, strong women they fall for!
