Protecting Her Becomes His Mission; Resisting Her Becomes Impossible.
Secrets and lies collide in this upcoming explosive Romantic Thriller from New York Times bestselling author Toni Anderson.
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.

Review:
I’m starting to feel like a broken record here, but I swear–each book in this series is even better than the one before! How is this even remotely possible???
Rowena and Kurt’s story is an age gap, close proximity, there’s only one bed and the heroine is a librarian story…I mean, what’s not to love? Add in the masterful way Ms Anderson has of keeping her characters–and the reader!–on the edge for 500+ pages and you have a fabulous way to spend a weekend…or an extended evening, because you may not be able to put this one down one you start 😉
Cold Truth is the 6th book in the Cold Justice: Most Wanted series, and though it could be read as a standalone, the story is very much rooted in the ones that came before it in both characters and plot, so readers who have read the previous 5 books will have a much better grasp of who everyone is and what makes them important.
Plus, you’ll get some life updates for favorite characters along the way, so win-win!
A bonus scene at the end (of the audiobook–hopefully it’s on the book, too? I didn’t see it on the ARC) teases the next book, which will FINALLY be Cowboy and Meghan’s story…
Rating: 5 stars / A
I had an ARC, but also purchased the audiobook early on the author’s website–and am so glad I did–the narrator did a fabulous job!
About the author:
Toni Anderson writes gritty, sexy, FBI Romantic Thrillers, and is a New York Times and a USA Today bestselling author. Her books have won the Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery and Suspense, Readers’ Choice, Aspen Gold, Book Buyers’ Best, Golden Quill, National Excellence in Story Telling (NEST) Contest, and National Excellence in Romance Fiction awards. She’s been a finalist in both the Vivian Contest and the RITA. Her books have been translated into five different languages.
Best known for her “COLD JUSTICE®” novels, perhaps it’s not surprising to discover Toni lives in one of the most extreme climates on earth—Manitoba, Canada. Formerly a Marine Biologist (Ph.D.), she still misses the ocean. Her greatest achievements include raising two kids, mastering the Tokyo subway, climbing Ben Lomond, snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef, and surviving eighteen (and counting) Winnipeg winters.
Toni loves to travel for research and was lucky enough to visit the Strategic Information and Operations Center inside FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C. She also got to shove another car off the road during pursuit training at the Writer’s Police Academy in Wisconsin. She hopes not to get arrested for her Google searches.
