Colder Than Sin
by Toni Anderson
Well! Toni Anderson definitely had me on the edge of my seat with this book. COLDER THAN SIN is quite the enthralling read.
When FBI Negotiator Quentin Savage and private security company CEO Haley Cramer find themselves running from a luxury resort after a terrorist attack, it will take all their strength, wit and cunning to outmanoeuvre the enemy. And it’s not just a matter of running away, but figuring out who to turn to for help; professional alliances are nebulous in this part of the world, so they could just as easily be walking into the hands of the enemy.
I’ve read several of Anderson’s books but COLDER THAN SIN is hands down the grittiest I’ve read to date. At times incredibly raw and crude, it lifts the veneer off civilised society, exposing a dangerous underbelly.
In contrast to the violence, we also get a most marvellous romance between Quentin and Haley. This relationship starts at an incredibly stressful time but it’s also what helps them keep faith, support one another and do their utmost to get themselves to safety.
I really enjoyed getting to know Quentin and Haley. Both of them are damaged souls, trying to move on from tragic past events. Their exteriors may exude confidence but these two are hurting. Embarking on a relationship that requires barriers to be lowered and vulnerabilities to be exposed is plain hard work.
The satisfying conclusion delivers to us not only the instigators of the attack but a fulfilling romance. Highly recommended.
Note: There are many law enforcement acronyms used throughout the book. The author has kindly provided a list of them, but I only discovered them at the end. If, like me, you’re more likely to think of HRT as hormone replacement therapy than Hostage Rescue Team, do yourself a favour and keep the list at hand while reading.
