Toni Anderson is my go-to author for romantic suspense, and Cold & Deadly has that perfect mix of suspense and romance to make your heart pound with fear and then swoon with emotion. I devoured this book and loved every page!
The first book in a new series, but there are some familiar faces as this story overlaps into several areas of Toni’s previous series about the FBI, Cold Justice. Great characters and intense chemistry. Non-stop action and intrigue. I did not want to put this down and read way into the night. I laughed and chuckled a lot and I felt their love story.
This is an amazing suspense story that had me on the edge of my seat because I never knew what was going to happen next. Not only was it suspenseful but it was romantic and I loved how the author threw that in there. It totally worked for me and I was very happy I read this book.
Dominic and Ava are FBI agents and they are on a case where FBI agents are being kidnapped and killed. As the two try and figure out who it is they start to have feelings for one another and that complicates things because the next FBI agent on this serial killers list is Ava and Dominic will do anything to keep Ava safe and sound.
Will they find the killer? Will they be able to have a relationship after all is said and done? This is an amazing suspense story that had me on the edge of my seat and had me reading fast so i could see who the killer was. This is a must read one click book!
A fast-paced story that I could hardly put down. Dominic and Ava are FBI agents in pursuit of the truth behind the possible murder of their good friend and fellow agent. Despite this connection, they don’t know one another, but the ensuing investigation forces them into close proximity. Ms. Anderson has written an intelligent and gripping tale with well-drawn characters and rich sexual tension. This one will keep you up all night!
OMG!!! I downloaded a 10 book bundle of different authors called Dangerous to Love. This was the first book.. It grabs right at the start and you literally can not put it down. There are so many twists and turns and it keeps you guessing until the end. If the other nine books are even half as good as this one they will be awesome to read. This was definitely a TEN STAR rating!!
Love all of Toni Anderson’s books and this was no exception. Great characters, action packed, keeps you guessing….just fantastic
Dominic is a hostage negotiator for the FBI. When his mentor, Van, is suspected of killing himself, he didn’t want to believe it. Ava is a rookie FBI agent and took on a mobster after he killed her father when she was a little girl. Van took her under his wing and tried to teach her how to manage her anger. Ava never believed Van committed suicide and will tell anyone who will listen. When another agent is killed at the funeral, Ava and Dominic begin digging a little. Then a too many accidents happen and Ava is assigned as his bodyguard. Neither are relationship material but the more time spent together, the closer they get. But first they have to figure out who’s trying to kill Dominic and if they can stop and find them in time.
Super awesome story. Action, suspense, and sex. I was totally shocked!! Ava is a loner but so is Dominic but the attraction is too strong to ignore. I could not stop reading. It will keep you up late either from reading or listening for noises .
4.5 Stars ~ Reviewed on behalf of KindleFriendsForever
Wow, just wow! This book got me so pumped up I just couldn’t put it down. This is my first book by this author, I love her style of writing she had me on edge all the time.
When FBI rookie Ava Kanas’ mentor died, she was the only one who suspected there was more to his death than suicide. Her being new to the team, she knew she has not earned enough credible experience to be listened to but she doggedly pursued her theory. She is a tenacious and dedicated agent but still has to learn the ropes of being a team player. When she meets Dominic, there was a hint of interest in both parties but she has to put that aside; after all her career is more important than personal relationships.
FBI Supervisory Special Agent Dominic Sheridan comes from a political family with powerful connections that goes right up to the top, but he didn’t use all these to become a well-respected member of the agency. His strong work ethic and ability to negotiate in critical situations is what makes him a formidable force. When Ava joins the team he feels the need to protect her from her own stubbornness, she needs to toe the line if she wants to keep her job.
Packed with adrenaline-filled agents dodging bullets and dead bodies, it is a very well-written thriller of revenge and conspiracies. Ava and Dominic’s romance is not the full focus of the story but more of the FBI teams and their work, the hostage negotiations, forensic details and so much more. Although there were a lot of technical terms used in this book (a list of acronyms is included), the author wrote this suspense-filled tale that will make you guess whodunit right until the last chapter. I consider myself a big fan of crime thrillers and watch a lot of police drama and in my opinion, this author is at the top of her game. The sizzling romance between Ava and Dominic was slow-burn and worth the wait but the additional input of other major players in the FBI teams make this book a great read. I really enjoyed this white-knuckle rollercoaster ride and I highly recommend it.
Toni’s newest is a spin-off of her super popular Cold Justice series, and it’s a winner. Full of all the dark psychodrama you expect from crime fiction, but also a super hot hero and lots of steam, run don’t walk to pick this one up! xoxo, Selena.
Highly professional writing with engaging characters, as always with Anderson..
I am so glad I took a chance on Toni Anderson! I just added another author to my MUST Read List! What a great story! No other words necessary, if you love suspense, love and hot sexy times, this is the book for you.
This book has some great characters too. The FBI agents are outstanding. The terminology would probably be lost on someone that isn’t really into law enforcement or crime stories. So glad I watch shows like NCIS, Quantico and others. Keeps my up do date on the lingo! But really you do not need to be up to date to enjoy this book.
Cannot wait for the next in the series!
I really did not want to put the book down
This is the first book in the brand new Cold Justice: Crossfire series and I’m hopelessly hooked on this one!
This story falls under the romantic suspense category and it was the perfect Valentine’s Day read for someone with my particular tastes. I’m not a hearts and flowers kind of girl and this action and danger filled story checked all of the boxes for me and left me on the edge of my seat right up until the very end. I love it when a story isn’t predictable.
This was Dominic and Ava’s story and they’re both FBI agents on the hunt for a dangerous killer and they’ve got big targets on their backs and are running out of time. There’s so much suspense going on here that it got to the point where I found myself holding my breath at several points throughout this amazing story and therefore it literally did take my breath away.
I haven’t read a whole lot by this author up until now but definitely plan to seek out much more of her work from this point on. While there’s non-stop action and life threatening danger going on throughout this story, there’s also a few romantic moments that only added to the overall story without becoming too sappy, which I greatly appreciated. This author does romance well for those of us who like our love stories to kick a little butt.
I highly recommend reading this to anyone and I look forward to much more from this incredibly talented author.
I reviewed this for Reviews from the Heart.

This book captured me from the beginning and had me wanting to read nonstop to see what would happen next. Loved the two main characters who both have strong personalities but also flaws that make them more believable. The chemistry between Dominic and Ava was undeniable – but given their positions in the FBI, would they act on that chemistry? The author did a great job of unfolding the story, including the backgrounds of Dominic and Ava, and who was behind the killings of the FBI agents. It was great to see some of the characters from the Cold Justice series – and of course, the birth of Mallory and Alex’s baby. What a promising start to this new series and I can’t wait to seeing where the stories take us.
Anderson delivers with the first in a new spinoff series, Cold & Deadly.
Romantic suspense lovers will have a difficult time putting this one down. Well developed and dynamic characters drive this emotionally charged and intense thriller. Action from the very first pages until the very end make this one to move to the top of your TBR list. You will not see the ending coming.
I highly recommend this book to fans of the contemporary romantic suspense genre. I voluntarily read and reviewed a complementary copy of this book.
Dominic and Ava are FBI agents, and a dear friend of theirs has died. Everyone, including Dominic, believes it was by his own hand, but Ava’s convinced it’s murder. As Dominic begins to look into it, his life is in jeopardy, and he finds more deaths that begin to look suspicious. While Ava and Dominic work together to find out the truth, their feelings for each other grow. Just as the case and their personal relationship are heating up, things come to a head which could cost them both their futures as well as their lives.
This story has a constant pulse of suspense and sexual tension that will keep you riveted. You are pulled in so deep the rest of the world just melts away, and you find yourself holding your breath in anticipation of what’s going to happen. It’s an intriguing and suspenseful romance, full of drama and hot, steamy passion. The romance and suspense are intense and so well integrated throughout the story that you will be kept captivated from beginning to end. You’ll never guess who it is. I highly recommend this extremely exciting and gripping love story!!
New series and the action begins from the first page.
Dominic at his friend and retired FBI agent Van’s funeral, questions his death. Ava Kanas gripping her boss Aldrich arm, till Dominic suggest they cool it till back at the office. Their gut instinct telling them it was murder. Then an agent fell, their was a sniper close by and shooting. Dominic wants the case, he is the best negotiator there is,but needed there for now.
With Ava on his mind, rule he didn’t date agents, or young rookie ones.
Aldrich ask Dominic to look at the files, was there anything to what Ava said
This is another winner for the author, it is fast action, with lots of twists. Showing us their negotiation skills. The romance interest between Dominic and Ava. The plot is straight forward and easy to read Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
Wow, what a ride!!! Just when I thought I had it all figured out, lol…. Very intense, action-packed, suspenseful and romantic. Plot is very gripping and I was instantly drawn right into the world of Dominic & Ava aka Superman & Superwoman. Great characters, agents in different fields their mutual instant attraction puts them on even ground. I like them both, they each have a few secrets and are equally strong-willed, smart, bold & determined. Always love with the “crew” shows up, would be disappointed if they didn’t and this puzzle needed the extra help. Couldn’t put it down, can’t wait until the next ones comes and definitely in my re-read stack. I am voluntarily reviewing a free copy.
What could be just another FBI procedural is so much more. With POVs from our H/h and others the story has so much depth. The suspense is enthralling, the mystery keeps you guessing, the romance is a slow burn. The story pacing is breakneck with just enough action and intrigue. I felt like I came to know Ava and Dominic their doubts and fears, and the way they investigate each case. Hang onto your hats this tale is one thrill ride of a read and a sexy heartfelt romance.
Dominic is a seasoned FBI negotiator and Ava is the FBI rookie. These two had an immediate chemistry but tried to ignore it because they were working together. They are on a difficult case trying to find out who is killing fellow agents. Dominic gets very protective of Ava as their attraction continues to grow and Ava does everything she can to prove she can be a great agent.
I loved this book and the characters were great. This story was a page-turner that was full of so much suspense I could not put it down. You kept finding yourself wanting to solve the mystery and guessing who it could be. What a great beginning to a new series and can’t wait to see what’s next.
I received a copy and I am voluntarily leaving my own honest opinion.
