COLD SECRETS (Book #7)
When an international ring of sex traffickers kidnaps an eight-year-old girl in Boston, FBI Agent Lucas Randall heads undercover. But his rescue operation goes disastrously wrong and Lucas barely escapes with his life. Now the ruthless traffickers are hunting him down, along with everyone else who threatens their operation.
Computer expert Ashley Chen joined the FBI to fight against evil in the world—evil she experienced firsthand. She has mad skills, and deadly secrets, and once she starts working with Lucas, she also has big trouble, because after years of pushing people away, she’s falling for the guy. The feeling is more than mutual, but as Ashley intensifies her online pursuit of the trafficking ring, her traumatic past collides with her present and suddenly Lucas can’t tell which side she’s on. And as the case escalates into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, it turns out Ashley isn’t the only one with something to hide.
COLD MALICE (Book #8)
ASAC Steve (Mac) McKenzie is out to prove himself by leading a task force investigating a series of murders in the heart of Washington, DC. His undercover work in an antigovernment compound twenty years earlier is related—as is the sweet, innocent girl he befriended back then. Now that girl is a beautiful woman, and she has something to hide.
Tess Fallon spent a lifetime trying to outrun her family’s brand of bigotry, but someone is threatening her anonymity by using the anniversary of her father’s death to carry out evil crimes and she’s terrified her younger brother is involved. She sets out to find the truth and comes face-to-face with a man she once idolized, a man she thought long dead. As the crimes escalate it becomes obvious the killer has an agenda, and Tess and Mac are running out of time to stop him.
Will the perpetrator use a decades-old dream of revolution to attack the federal government? And will the fact that Tess and Mac have fallen hard for each other give a cold-hearted killer the power to destroy them both?
A COLD DARK PROMISE (Book #9) A forty-thousand-word novella.
In the midst of wedding preparations, a shadowy figure from Alex Parker's past reappears and threatens the joy he’s found with Mallory Rooney.
Four years ago, Jane Sanders’s rich and powerful ex-husband kidnapped their young daughter and Jane hasn’t seen her since. Now she finally has a lead on her location and she knows just the man to help her get her daughter back. Trouble is, he’s an assassin. And he terrifies her.
Despite his upcoming nuptials, Alex agrees to help, but it doesn’t take long for the routine operation to turn complicated—and deadly. Can the former CIA operative make it home in time to marry the woman he loves, or will his dark past destroy all hope for their future?

Bk#7 got 3.5 stars. It wasn't my favorite due to repetitive internal thoughts. However, this was the darkest of the 3 books in this bundle. It deals with human trafficking. The intimate scenes were HOT!
Bk#8 got 4.5 stars. Suspense and Action on virtually every page. Though both MC's frustrated me on occasion my biggest problem was Mac. His failure to stand up for Tess and the consequences from that made me want scream. There was only one really HOT intimate sex scene and a few fan myself moments.
Bk#9 got 4.75 stars and is my favorite of the three. Fast paced and smooth flow. Full of action and suspense. There were even ''Laugh Out Loud' moments. I did have a small issue with the 'Big Action' scene and that's the only reason I didn't give it a full 5 Stars.
Cold Secrets This is another exciting book in the series. It is hard though to read about sex trafficking for young girls. Ashley and Lucas both work for the FBI and are attracted to each other. I felt so bad for Ashley for a couple of reasons. First, I couldn’t believe how much she was discriminated against. Second, the secret she had was really big. I understand why she didn’t want to tell anyone, but I wish she had before it went on for so long. Lucas and Ashley had a long, hard road to travel. There are some really evil people in this book that caused so many problems. My heart broke at times. This is a great story that I didn’t want to put the book down. I strongly encourage you to read the book.
Cold Malice Reading this book was kind of freaky as this book is something like what is going on in Washington D.C. now, but in the book they didn’t storm the capitol. I can’t imagine how Steve McKenzie felt when he went undercover to infiltrate a white supremest group and had to pretend he believed in what they did. His one ray of sunshine was the ten year old daughter of the leader. She was the opposite of her family and he wanted to save her. It is 20 years later and Steve is in the FBI heading up a group trying to find out who is committing hate crimes. I loved that when the hate group was broken up 20 years earlier Tess had her name changed when she went to live with a mother that adopted her and her baby brother was a black woman. Tess loved her and learned so much from her. Unfortunately Tess is living near where the deaths are taking place, and Steve finds out and interviews her. I felt bad that she was still being associated with her awful family 20 years later. She had to be laughing to herself when people found out who adopted her and her brother. This story has so many twists and turns, I was on the edge of my seat most of the time. It was very interesting reading how so many groups were trying to find the killer, and who was trying to incriminate a couple other people. I strongly encourage you to read the book.
A Cold Dark Promise These books are so good and exciting! Alex and Mallory are about to be married. Mallory was pregnant and she was only having a big wedding for her parents since their lives were turned upside down where her twin sister was kidnapped and years later found dead. Mallory and Alex are so good for each other. Alex gets a call from someone in past asking him to help her find her child that was kidnapped by her awful ex husband four years ago. I know that was a hard decision for him since he and Mallory were getting married in a week. Mallory encouraged him as she couldn’t imagine anything happening to her baby once it was born, and neither could Alex.
Once Alex and a couple of his team get to the French island he finds out there was terrorists meeting there and Jane’s husband was in the middle of it all. Alex has to call in more favors and I form the agencies what was going on. There were some such terrifying times I couldn’t read fast enough to find out what was going to happen! I loved the book and strongly encourage you to read it.
Absolutely excellent romantic thriller! The suspense is nail-biting, the romance is hot, and the plot is heart breaking yet heart warning. The characters are deep & very realistic. The beginning starts smooth & informative which helped me connect with characters, then the plot unfolds with a bang of action & intensity and the finale is jaw-dropping.. shocking! :) I love this series and each addition is able to maintain or excel. My heart went out to Ashley & the girls. Lucas is a hot sexy alpha. Both main characters are very dedicated intelligent agents. Of course Alex is the glue, lol. Looking forward to what's next for this series.
Cold Malice 5*
Wow!!! Toni Anderson is a mastermind in this genre and this series is mind blowing! I don't know how she does, the suspense is so thick & the plot so gripping that my spine was straight as a board with anticipation, eagerly reading page after page...nonstop. :) Tess is an excellent example of rising above your past & being a better person regardless of that past, great character. Just like real life, some people never forget your past and don't have a problem reminding you where you come from either, sad but true. Mac is 100% FBI and eager for a promotion, Tess puts a dent in his armor and oh my do the sparks fly. Both are smart, a little stubborn, their love story is sweet but the road is rough. This story is good that I crave more & wish the next book was available to read, now. :0 It's an emotional ride, tear jerker actually but I love a story with some feeling. So happy to hear from Alex & Frazier too....author keeps you on your toes even more so with this one....it isn't over until it's over. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I definitely would.
A Cold Dark Promise 5*
Of course Alex, being the dramatic character that he is, couldn't just simply get married, lol. Author does an excellent job wrapping the scheduled "wedding" plans around another case for this dude. He is like James Bond to the 3rd power, Mallory is his perfect match because she understands his drive for solving the case, her love for him is on another level because he is just that type of guy. This really gets the adrenaline pumping and the emotions flying with tears of sadness and joy, loaded with shocking twist and turns that keeps the plot exciting and gripping. Great addition to the series and I am definitely looking forward to reading more of this series. I love how the author intermingles the previous characters in this series. Romance, Suspense and Adventure!!!
I read book 1 and really liked it. I decided I should save the rest of the series and only read one occasionally. That was dumb. Life's too short to save good books when you can read them now. So I binged, reading 9 books in 16 days. It was glorious. I especially enjoy how the main characters from book 1 become supporting characters in book 2, etc. It's a great way to have some of the continuity of a sequel without the boredom of typical sequels.
Life interfered once or twice, but other than that, I never put one of these down until I finished it.
These are intense, compelling, and suspenseful romances with solid character development and a narrative that will often have you on the edge of your seat. You will be effortlessly drawn into the lives of the characters of each of these stories. There’s suspenseful intrigue, emotions that often tug at your heartstrings, and passionate romance. Once you start reading, it will be hard to put down. I highly recommend this box set and series!
Life is never straight forward when you are in the FBI
There is so much going on in this story and so many people behind the scenes that keep us safe. Alex loves Millroy more than anything in this world but there was one more job to do before the wedding and she said he needed to do it someone needs help. A tough story dangerous and life threatening would he make it to his wedding or was this the end. Highly recommended book
I absolutely loved each story in this boxed set. I had already read them before and still had to get this set. I own all three boxed sets and each story is so good. I did cry over each book and I also loved staying on edge too. I really love how it starts with Mallory and Alex and ends with them. They are my favorite couple. I highly recommend this book.
There are not enough words to say how much I loved these books. Ms Anderson’s has the ability to keep you rooted to your chair with total concentration. It is an art she has perfected, I truly enjoy her writing and highly recommend this and any other book she has written.
I really like the Cold Justice series. These books are well thought out with characters that are developed over the course of the book. They also can be read as stand alone books and read in any order. They are romantic suspense books that keep you on your toes!
This set is aweso in,me! I really love the way Anderson spins her romantic suspense. If you've never read Toni's books what better way to find a new great author than enjoying such a great deal?!
Another breath stealing plot involving many of the beloved characters from the series. A custodial kidnapping morphs into a terrorist plot with a deadly bio weapon. All is resolved and Alex makes it to his wedding with literally a minute to spare.
Toni Anderson never disappoints. Every one of her books takes you on an exciting nail biting journey which weaves in romance and smiles. This book was no exception.
Wow! All three books were non-stop, heart-racing excitement! The plots were fascinating and held together well. The back stories and plots were particularly moving and I desperately wanted things to work out, not only for the main characters, but also for minor characters. They grabbed my attention, didn’t let go, and forced me - yes, forced me to binge read! While each book stands alone beautifully, appearances by other favourite characters from throughout the series added a lot of entertainment. Highly recommend this FBI romantic suspense book set.
This "Cold Series" is such a nice way to spend an afternoon, good and very enjoyable read. Fast moving, well written, interesting characters. Each book includes characters from earlier stories which I really like, but also new ones to make it relevant. You kinda knew the ending but it had some fun scenes thrown in. Each story leaves you wanting more!
