We finally get to the root of where Montana has been during his "death" in the last few books! He has been a very busy special agent, getting involved in all manner of things and yet still has found time to save the girl!
Tying all those little hints from the previous books together, the story of Montana and Row really cements the overarching story together and if you didn't hate Tech Bro billionaires before, you really will by the end of this! (Did I have to scrub my brain with bleach to get rid of the images of a certain rubber faced tech bro as the villain? Yes I did!!!!!)
Kurt was the perfect foil to Row. She was naïve, eager, determined for answers and he was measured, careful, experienced and determined to keep her safe - even rom him. He was the one with the hang ups and the "do not be the dirty old man". Row certainly never saw him as a predator or someone she did not feel safe with, just the opposite.
I did have a wee chuckle and flashback to The Mummy when Row was introducing herself as a Librarian. The found family she had for herself in her local library crew was so sweet. The extended African family she had also made her so welcome, even with no biological tie to them, she was theirs to protect and look after.
Similarly Kurt's FBI family has been grieving his loss and coming to terms with their new normal, some better than others. But the way they all come together to finally solve his reappearance was so well done. I had literal tears at their reunion.
However poor Jordan has put the cat amongst the pigeons after his interactions with Kurt's daughter, Daisy and I've no idea how that situation is going to resolve itself without her wanting to kill him at least 3 times a day!

I'm starting to feel like a broken record here, but I swear--each book in this series is even better than the one before! How is this even remotely possible???
Rowena and Kurt's story is an age gap, close proximity, there's only one bed and the heroine is a librarian story...I mean, what's not to love? Add in the masterful way Ms Anderson has of keeping her characters--and the reader!--on the edge for 500+ pages and you have a fabulous way to spend a weekend...or an extended evening, because you may not be able to put this one down one you start ;)
Cold Truth is the 6th book in the Cold Justice: Most Wanted series, and though it could be read as a standalone, the story is very much rooted in the ones that came before it in both characters and plot, so readers who have read the previous 5 books will have a much better grasp of who everyone is and what makes them important.
Plus, you'll get some life updates for favorite characters along the way, so win-win!
A bonus scene at the end (of the audiobook--hopefully it's on the book, too? I didn't see it on the ARC) teases the next book, which will FINALLY be Cowboy and Meghan's story...
Rating: 5 stars / A
I had an ARC, but also purchased the audiobook early on the author's website--and am so glad I did--the narrator did a fabulous job!

‘Kurt Montana turned out to be the perfect hero.’
So what really happened to Kurt Montana while his team dealt with oh so much on the home front in books one through five of the Cold Justice: Most Wanted series? It’s a rollercoaster of a ride from start to finish and the author deserves kudos for how masterfully she pulled this one off! Not only is it a new story but it also spans the course of the books that preceded it, giving us throwback glimpses at events we’ve already lived through the the other members of the team and an insider’s look at the struggle Kurt’s partner on his last mission, Jordan, is going through as he deals with the loss of Kurt. I don’t know who Toni will top this one, but I think that with each new book (And drool worthy leading man!) but I can’t wait to find out. This one was well worth the wait!

Cold Truth
Cold Justice- Most Wanted #6
Toni Anderson
The best book I’ve read this year!
Suspense, unlikely romance, danger, international terrorists and a whole lot of FBI plus HRT plus spook action.
Love, love, love this book. The characters are so well written and deep. It is gritty, sexy and sweet while action packed.
HRT team leader Kurt Montana and sweet, feisty librarian Rowena Smith are kidnapped in Africa which brings international intrigue and murky politics to the front. These two are meant to be, they are mature and all in despite the age gap and constant danger.
I absolutely love reading Ms Anderson’s creations this is exceptional. I enjoy seeing familiar characters like old friends in the thick of danger fighting for good together. Cameos from all of the operatives fans love including Alex Parker. Is Jordan Krychek going to be the next story? This books timeline is woven through and overlaps other books in this series so there are spoilers if you haven’t read previous books, a series best red in order. That being said you could read it as a standalone novel either hea. I received an arc of this book
5 stars!
