Ten years ago, FBI Hostage Rescue Team operator Jordan Krychek lost his family when a Russian arms dealer burned them alive. The monster vanished—until now.
When a physicist is murdered at a conference in Mexico, Jordan recognizes the killer: Konrad Bocharov, the nightmare he's been hunting for a decade. Worse, the woman Jordan swore to keep safe—his best friend's brilliant, infuriating daughter—is directly in Bocharov's crosshairs.
Daisy Montana doesn't need a bodyguard. The nuclear physics PhD student can handle herself, and she definitely doesn't need the arrogant agent who once tied her naked to a bed "for her own good." But when terrorists target the reactor where she's conducting research, Daisy realizes Jordan isn't just shielding her—he's fighting his own demons.
As the threat escalates toward catastrophe, Jordan and Daisy must stop Bocharov before he unleashes destruction on the Eastern seaboard. But their biggest danger might be the explosive attraction neither can resist.

Review: Toni Anderson’s Cold Heat, the seventh installment in the Cold Justice: Most Wanted Series, is enjoyable and generally well-written. The plot is engaging, with enough twists and turns to keep the pages turning - it's not my favorite book in the series so far, but it's pretty good. While the story is action-packed and fast moving, there were a few moments where I felt the reactions of the characters were a bit off and defaulting to a cliche.
Despite this minor detail, Cold Heat is a very good read. It's a gripping story that hits all the necessary notes for romantic suspense fans: a thrilling plot, a brooding hero, a smart heroine, and a heartfelt connection (even if both Jordan and Daisy seem a bit too intent on resisting it sometimes...).

Ultimately, Cold Heat can be read as a stand alone (maybe even more than some of the previous books), but you will still be missing a lot of the connections between the main and the secondary characters, so if you love the genre, I would recommend reading all the books in the correct order.
Happy readings!
