Cold Secrets

This is one of the best RS series I read. The books are consistently entertaining and well written. I wasn't too crazy about the instalust and we-can't-be-together-because-we-work-together trope in the beginning; but that fortunately passed quickly and we got into the meat of the story. The child sex trade plotline was definitely unpleasant, but well done. Ashley also had a pretty painful secret past that added also added tension to the plot.

Great FBI romantic suspense series.

I love Toni Anderson’s writing, and binged on the first 5 books of the series. Cold secrets starts out with Lucas Randall going undercover to break up a sex trafficker ring and to find a kidnapped little girl. He barely escapes and is now being hunted. Enter FBI computer expert Ashley Chen who has plenty of secrets, but keeps everyone at arms-length. That is until she meets Lucas!

The book is fast-paced, action-packed, lots of romantic-suspense, but a bit dark. I totally recommend this entire series!!!!

I am not sure how she does it but Toni Anderson never seem to disappoint.

Cold Se certs is full of suspense, lies, hidden secrets, sexual chemistry and trust me this is the book you have been waiting for if you started with A Dark Cold Place because Lucas finally gets his story.
When I mean the story starts off with a bang I should say Boom as a house explodes behind the hero as he is running to keep a child safe. Just think if that is the first few chapters what more could this book hold?

Thank you to Netgalley and Toni Anderson for a chance to review this book.

4 stars

Ms. Anderson is a master storyteller who has woven an intriguing tale with romance and suspense.

I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

Wow!
The subject matter was intense and horrifying but I continued to read. This book is well-written – the characters have depth. In addition to the typical strengths of the hero and heroine in suspense novels they had all too human foibles. The plot is complex but easy to follow, it is about good and evil, hope, betrayal and the indomitable will to survive despite the harshest of circumstances.

This is my first book by this author, it will not be my last. Based on this book, she has become one of my “go to” authors. I would definitely recommend to friends.
I was provided with a copy of this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

FANTASTIC! This book has it all, mystery, suspense, action, romance, sex. Very well written and with a great plot and believable characters.

Ashley is a FBI agent with the BAU. When a human trafficking ring is found and the only survivors are two girls and a FBI agent Lucas. Lucas is undercover when he goes to the brothel to look for a missing eight year old girl. Ashley doesn’t get close to people but her attraction to Lucas makes it impossible to stay away. When witnesses start dying, they need to hurry and find the johns or the rest of the men who escaped when the building blew up.
I know it’s a short review but didn’t want to give too much away. You have action, suspense, sex, and secrets. Excellent story with no cliffhanger. Told in third person and gives both sides pov.

Cold Secrets is jammed packed with lots of action, suspense, intrigue and romance. Book 7 in Toni Anderson’s Cold Justice Series this story hits hard from the very beginning. Undercover FBI agent, Lucas Randall joins forces with FBI computer expert Ashley Chen to bring down a ruthless international ring of sex traffickers. The case is messy, lives are on the line and secrets are needed to be revealed.

The tightly woven plot is solidly written with complex characters. The romance is wonderful but never overshadows the case of stopping this international group. It is one roller-coaster of an emotional read.

I have read this series out of order, but it has not been a hindered at all in my enjoyment of the series as a whole. Amazing series by an amazing author.

An ARC of the book was given to me by the publisher through Net Galley which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
