Cold Light of Day. “Cold Light of Day” is a story of loyalty to friends, self-confidence, justice, corrupt politics, betrayal, manipulation, and a daughter’s love for her father.

Twenty years earlier her father was tried and convicted for being a Russian spy.

You will have to follow the leads and clues Scarlet’s father put in his notes to find out how this mystery is solved. The story is one of Anderson’s best and “Cold Light of Day” is a must read and earns a 5 star ranking.

Plenty of espionage makes up this latest in the Cold Justice series.. Plenty of espionage makes up this latest in the Cold Justice series. Each of these book are so full of acts of betrayal and death not only from who you’d consider bad guys – in this book it’s the Russians – but also from our own government in some form. I love the way the author sets it up at the beginning where we know clearly who some of the bad guys are but yet takes us through many twist and turns before we find out who all the players are. The story starts with a daughter trying to prove that her exFBI father was not a traitor to his country by being a Russian spy. Scarlett knew her father could never have done all the horrible things he was accused of 14 years ago. Now that he’s dying of cancer in prison she wants to try and prove he didn’t do it. Problem is Scarlett is a Physicist not a spy and ends up getting herself caught which not only puts her life in danger but also opens up a huge can of worms that has far reaching consequences. All of the previous FBI agents we’ve met over the course of this series are back with Agent Matt Lazlo being the one that takes it upon his self to keep Scarlett out of danger. These two were really opposites but the attraction was there from the start and worked well. At the end of each of these books my longing for getting FBI ASAC Lincoln Frazer’s books increases. Hopefully the author will put me out of my misery soon.

Love this author and this book. I am a big fan of really well written romantic suspense and Toni Anderson is one of the best authors writing today in this genre. Her books always include intricately created suspense, strong women and heroes with well rounded characters accompanying their muscles. There is just the right amount of jeopardy, sizzle and humour and every aspect is meticulously researched. I can’t recommend Toni Anderson’s books highly enough if you enjoy romantic suspense and we beautiful written yarn.

Perhaps bugging the Russian Embassy wasn’t a good idea.. Book 3 in this series is again more Suspense than Romance but the romance is there. Scarlet has to move fast, her dad was accused of espionage 14 years ago and now has cancer. Time to prove his innocence that other FBI agents and someone within the Russian Embassy set him up. Lucky for her, her best friend Angel’s parents were invited to a Christmas Eve party at the Embassy. Pretending to be Angel’s sister they attend the party. They meet FBI agent Matt Lazlo and they are smitten. Scarlet sneaks away to plant a bug but...there is already a bug in the lamp she picks up. Oops. Matt is called into work and witnesses the bug planting and discovers who Scarlet is and her traitorous father. But Angel is kidnapped and Parker, Rooney, Fraser and even Matt think there is something foul here. Again, fast paced, recurring characters, secrets that will inevitably roll over into the next book. And I am off to book 4.

Really goofy. Giving it one star to try to outweigh the good reviews. I get it’s fiction but at least make an attempt to be realistic. The characters have virtually no time at all together and somehow in a matter of hours we can tell they are supposed to somehow have all these deep feelings for one another. The dialogue that takes place in the middle of action sequences or when there is a lot of serious stuff happening is laughable... Scarlett second guessing not telling Matt she loves him when she called him in the middle of a very serious ops mission. Or Scarlett & Angel running/being shot at and talking about whose fault it is and how next year they’ll do something safer for Christmas like watch movies? What?! First and last time reading this author. HUGE eye roll for this entire book.

Cold Light of Day. I’ve given books 1 - 3 long raving reviews but I won’t take this time on this book. I rate this series at a 20 out of a 10 from the books I’ve read so far. Read book 4 out of order so I’m starting Book 5...now! Do yourself a favor....read this series!
