FBI HRT operator Jordan Krychek has built his life around discipline and duty, hiding scars that run bone-deep. The night his family was murdered, the man responsible vanished into the wind. Now that ghost has reappeared—and a woman Jordan has sworn to protect is caught in the crossfire. Daisy Montana doesn’t need a bodyguard, least of all her father’s dangerously intense teammate. But when a terrorist targets her area of research, and a killer from Jordan’s past resurfaces, she becomes a pawn in a deadly game of vengeance.  Forced into hiding—and into each other’s arms—the line between duty and desire combusts. From Mexico to Virginia, a relentless enemy draws them into a web of deception and betrayal. As the stakes rise and the body count climbs, Jordan and Daisy must untangle the mystery of what the next target might be, before it's too late. This time, Jordan’s mission is personal. And protecting Daisy might cost him everything—including his heart. COLD HEAT delivers explosive action, heart-stopping suspense, and the kind of forbidden love that will bring even the most hardened operator to his knees. “Toni Anderson has a terrific voice for crime fiction.” - New York Times bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz. All the books can be read as standalone titles.

Someone is watching her.\n\nThat someone is Zade Meadows, a masked vigilante who runs an underground operation targeting human traffickers, and who has become dangerously obsessed with Adeline. As Adeline unravels the mystery buried in the manor's history with the help of her friend Daya, the line between predator and protector blurs into something neither of them can control.\n\nHaunting Adeline is the first book in H.D.

Their bond is tested by trauma, vengeance, and the question of whether either of them can be whole again.\n\nThe second and final book of H.D. Carlton's Cat and Mouse Duet, Hunting Adeline is an extremely graphic dark romance that deals explicitly with sexual violence, trafficking, and torture. It should only be read alongside its full content warnings.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4n706yj99s0fmcy2n470a.jpg","L16ahts:}Ykq^*X9-A%gjY#SyDoz","4.71",704,[511],{"id":147,"slug":148,"name":149},[513,514,515,516,517,518],{"id":162,"name":163,"slug":164,"is_fiction":21},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},{"id":152,"name":153,"slug":154,"is_fiction":21},{"id":156,"name":157,"slug":158,"is_fiction":21},{"id":47,"name":48,"slug":49,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},[520],{"id":495,"slug":496,"name":497,"position":521,"is_main_entry":21,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"2.00",{"pace":80,"complexity":7,"audience":82,"mood":523,"themes":524,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[85,84],[525],"revenge",{"id":527,"slug":528,"title":529,"description":530,"primary_cover_url":531,"cover_blurhash":532,"first_publish_year":474,"community_rating_avg":533,"community_rating_count":534,"page_count":535,"authors":536,"genres":541,"series":545,"enrichment":550},"01kjq7zzaws1jfav1t43fn27x8","twisted-games-ppjk","Twisted Games","Bridget von Ascheberg never expected to inherit a throne, but when her brother steps aside she becomes the reluctant heir to a small European kingdom, her every move dictated by duty.

The second Twisted book trades the first's darkness for a forbidden royal-bodyguard slow burn, following one of the four friends at the heart of the series as she fights for a sliver of freedom and the one person she is forbidden to want.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjq7zzbajkqwj6nbr3tjmj7f.jpg","LEQcn{xuj[%M~qof%Mj[00j[M{WB","4.22",9,480,[537],{"id":538,"slug":539,"name":540},"01kjq6ypj37jr3wqjvvqy8ckx3","ana-huang-7jgm","Ana Huang",[542,543,544],{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},{"id":152,"name":153,"slug":154,"is_fiction":21},{"id":47,"name":48,"slug":49,"is_fiction":21},[546],{"id":547,"slug":548,"name":549,"position":521,"is_main_entry":21,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq6yppym8zg187dhdjrt9tj","twisted-goth","Twisted",{"pace":81,"complexity":7,"audience":82,"mood":551,"themes":552,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[130,84,463],[553,134],"forbidden-love",{"id":555,"slug":556,"title":557,"description":558,"primary_cover_url":559,"cover_blurhash":560,"first_publish_year":142,"community_rating_avg":561,"community_rating_count":35,"page_count":562,"authors":563,"genres":568,"series":578,"enrichment":583},"01kjr2bnqntpfgf3rp8bke8bze","things-we-never-got-over-pykb","Things We Never Got Over","Naomi Witt has always been the responsible twin, so when her troublemaking sister Tina summons her to the rough-around-the-edges town of Knockemout, Virginia, Naomi drops everything to help.

The investigation drags her into the community that shunned her, the family that stopped speaking to her, and the buried event that made her leave.\n\nA Merciful Death opens Kendra Elliot's Mercy Kilpatrick series: a procedural thriller wrapped around a small-town homecoming that no one, least of all Mercy, wanted.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kxem93m57js8bpc1s4ch91ew.jpg?v=f967a268fc","LMFEr%5;=Y9|-oofaxj[}9%1X8ni",2017,[810,814],{"id":811,"slug":812,"name":813},"01kxekcaqfk4jnffd1q5bas725","kendra-elliot-mypr","Kendra Elliot",{"id":815,"slug":816,"name":817},"01krtkzwac65sz180mv8qgar6m","teri-schnaubelt-akda","Teri Schnaubelt",[819,823,827,828,829,830],{"id":820,"name":821,"slug":822,"is_fiction":21},35,"Paranormal Romance","paranormal-romance",{"id":824,"name":825,"slug":826,"is_fiction":21},21,"Urban Fantasy","urban-fantasy",{"id":47,"name":48,"slug":49,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":113,"name":114,"slug":115,"is_fiction":21},{"id":51,"name":52,"slug":53,"is_fiction":21},[832],{"id":833,"slug":834,"name":835,"position":126,"is_main_entry":21,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kxerrpt6w57ktw1x5sd47h8g","mercy-kilpatrick-j6fk","Mercy Kilpatrick",{"pace":80,"complexity":7,"audience":82,"mood":837,"themes":838,"setting_period":7,"summary":839,"content_warnings":7},[84,85,129,180],[],"FBI agent Mercy Kilpatrick returns to the Oregon mountain town that exiled her to investigate the murders of local survivalists.

This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.\n\nCold Heat, book seven in Toni Anderson’s Cold Justice: Most Wanted series, delivers an intense, fast-paced romantic tale that hits hard from the very first chapter. Toni Anderson blends action, danger, and emotion in a way that keeps the story moving.\n\nJordan Krycheck and Daisy Montana first appeared in Cold Truth, and that introduction had me looking forward to their story. Their dynamic was strong from the start, and it was clear even then that there was more beneath the surface worth exploring. Cold Heat delivers all expected. The tension, the shared history, and the sexual tension evident up from their earlier appearances landed in a satisfying way. Everything comes together naturally, giving their relationship depth.\n\nIn Cold Heat, I finally got to see what makes Jordan and Daisy tick. The first chapter gives a detailed look into Jordan’s past, and that insight not only grounds his character but also sets the tone for the remainder of the story.\n\nDaisy is the daughter of the hero from Cold Truth. She’s carrying a huge chip on her shoulder, especially where Jordan is concerned, and after their encounter in the previous installment, she went out of her way to avoid him. But when a colleague of hers is murdered, that distance becomes impossible to maintain. Jordan’s protection quickly shifts from inconvenient to absolutely necessary, and avoidance is no longer an option.\n\nIn Cold Heat, the twists and turns keep the tension high, but the romance is just as strong. Jordan and Daisy’s connection builds naturally, moving from reluctant proximity to something charged and undeniable. Their chemistry sizzles against the backdrop of danger, making every moment they share feel intense and earned. It’s a slow burn that pays off, giving the story heart as well as suspense.\n\nOverall, Cold Heat gave me all I hoped for. The suspense, the twists, and the chemistry between Jordan and Daisy all come together perfectly. It’s fast-paced, gripping, and full of heart. Definitely a great addition to the Cold Justice: Most Wanted series.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading","none","rv-01kxppdtwx2ng5p5660n54w4rq",[],"2026-07-17T00:08:09.000000Z"]
