Cold Cruel Kiss by Toni Anderson
5.0
Reviewed on my blog, Becky on Books, on 1/30/21.
OMG, this might be my favorite Cold Justice/Crossfire book so far--what a ride!
I truly didn't want to put Lucy and Max's book down; so unfortunate that I had to work this week ;) Ms Anderson did a fabulous job of ratcheting up the tension on this book--kidnapped girls! Espionage! Lies! Secrets! Who can really be trusted? You're never quite sure...at times it seemed like each page brought a new twist. By the time we approached the climax they were practically hitting like body blows--no lie. It was that intense. I don't want to give anything away, but the ending was very satisfying. (Thank goodness. I might not have survived otherwise...or maybe my ereader wouldn't have? ;))
I loved Lucy and Max. He is just the greatest of great guys, and she is one heck of a kick-butt heroine, the image she works so hard to project aside. I adored the fact that he was the only one who truly saw her (OK, the ambassador's kids had a clue too--but they spent way more time with her) and even when I wasn't 100% sure of her motives, I wanted them to be good so hard so that they could end up together. Heck, I was even looking for ways for them to work out either way--I was *that* invested.
Ms Anderson has her work cut out for her following up this book--but I'm sure she's up for the challenge. And I am ready to read it when she does! <3
