Cold Pursuit: An FBI Romantic Mystery and Suspense (Cold Justice Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 4,345 ratings

A single-mother desperate to protect her son is rescued by an off-duty FBI profiler as ruthless terrorists hunt them, in this Romantic Thriller by New York Times bestselling author Toni Anderson.

“Sizzling suspense and hot romance - the perfect summer read!”

Single mom Vivi Vincent is thrust into her worst nightmare when she and her son are trapped inside a mall during a terror attack. Jed Brennan, a dedicated FBI agent on enforced leave, helps Vivi and her son survive the assault. But the danger is just beginning...

Vivi’s son may have witnessed critical details of the terrorists’ future plans, but he’s mute, and he’s traumatized. When someone launches a strike against the FBI’s safe house, Jed fears the bad guys have an inside man. Not knowing who to trust, he hides mother and son in a log cabin deep in the heart of the Wisconsin Northwoods. There Jed and Vivi try to figure out how to unlock the information inside her son’s head.

What they don't bargain for is the red-hot attraction that flares between them or the extent of the sinister plot that threatens to rip apart any chance of happiness they might have together.

Winner of National Excellence in Romance Fiction Award ~ for Romantic Suspense. Finalist in the National Readers' Choice Award, & the Gayle Wilson Award of Excellence.

​"The mysterious, suspenseful part of Cold Pursuit will keep you on the edge of your seat as Toni twists and turns the plot so you never know what to expect and could never imagine what's coming! She blends the suspense and romance so well that the flow doesn't stop, both of them play off the other so that the romance complements the suspense and vice versa." Harlequin Junkie.

    Toni is a wonderful author her writing style is outstanding, she pulls you in from page one and never lets you go. You know when you pick up one of her books it is going to be a ride of your life as grabs your attention why spinning tales and twists that you never see coming. Her books are easy to relate to as she shows us with Vivi's son and his disabilities that he overcomes to help fight the bad men and save so many.

    There are so many characters to love and a few you won't. The father should be shot for his treatment of his son and ex wife. Vivi loves her son and puts him first always, she knows he can be more and pushes him to his limits but is a little over protective. Jed at first I thought he was wonderful than I didn't care to much for him but he turned out to be an amazing man who stood up for what he believed in no matter the cost. His family was just to much (in a good way) I just adored his father which had me laughing.

    This is an action packed, intense, thrilling suspense that grips your heart and makes you hold your breath. There are times when you wish you could grab the characters and pull them to safety. Even a few of the bad guys I felt their pain and wish I could have saved them. I felt their loss and wish things could have been different. Which made the story more real to me.

    Eric G. Dove was the voice behind the action that Toni gave us. He is just outstanding with his many voices you forget you are listening to a book. He put the humor right in the read I loved to hear his chuckles and his many tones as he bought the book to life for me. He has a very smooth voice with the correct tones and the roughness when it needed. He has a voice I could listen to all day. Toni gives an outstanding plot and story which pulls you in and Eric closes the deal for me.

    Toni is one of my favorite authors if you haven't read or listen to any of her books you should. She writes about today issues you can relate to throws in a few punches along the way. Grips your heart and soul as she tells a compelling thrilling suspense. When I see her name I know I have to have the book. I love her audio's she has the best narrators as she shows us again Cold Pursuit. I can't wait to read or listen to the rest of the Cold Justice series.

  • Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2014
    There are already some very detailed and well written summaries posted, hence I won't bother anyone who happens to read these lines with another one (that could be even less well done!) . Just quickly the essentials: Vivi Vincent and her eight year old son are visiting a mall, when a terrorist group attacks the shopping center. Mother and son are separated but Jed Brennan, a FBI agent, who happened to be in the mall, saves a lot of people, including Vivi and Michael. Michael is a very important eye witness, because from his hide-out he could see the terrorists faces. However, the little boy hasn't spoken a word since he was four. His favorite way to communicate is by drawing but after the attack he's too traumatized to do so. The FBI arranges for mother and son to be taken to a safe house but before Michael recovers, the place is attacke. Jed decides to hide mother and son. But what about the untimely attraction he feels towards Vivi? BTW, the blurb is excellent and any further details would just spoil the story.

    This was an interesting book with a story line that resembled and could compete with any political thriller. Political stances and religious believes that are well known due to current events were well elaborated and presented in such a way as to show that personal gain and not exclusively ideological orientation was the core motivation behind horrible deeds. This part of the book was well done and created a good background for an intreaguing read. In any case, this is a work of fiction and not a thesis, a fact that the reader should considered when referring to this part of the book.

    Fate dealt both main characters a difficult life, which "handicapped" them both to enter a new relationship. Vivi, a fierce and protective mother, had a very bad relationship with her ex husband. Right from the beginning there were many hints regarding what might actually have happened to the couple, but these implications went on and on and only over 50 % into the book did the reader find out what actually happened. I definitely would have appreciated this information earlier in the story because this would have made more plausible some of Vivi's reactions and behavior. Jed was great. How he treated Michael was absolutely adorable. His behavior towards Vivi at the end of the book surprised me but finally he managed to save the good impression.

    There was an interesting set of subcharacters who were shortly introduced, played a minor role but never really added anything substantial to the plot. For instance Intelligence Officer Killion, who made several appearance but then just disappeared. The same goes for Jed's brother and father and Vivi's ex. The epilogue completed the suspense part nicely, but definitely at the expense of the romance part, which wasn't refined enough. I would have appreciated a "smoother" exit for the subcharacters, maybe even an opportunity for Vivi and her ex to talk things over. I would definitely have liked to "see" what happened with Michael: what was the diagnosis for his speaking difficulties and how did he cope, move on. The ending of the book needed more time to "mature" into something gripping and rewarding.

    In any case, a very good book that I can but recommend!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Bad bad day at the mall
    Reviewed in Australia on February 17, 2017
    This is the first book I have read from this author and I will definitely be back for more. 'Cold Pursuit' is a romantic thriller that manages to have an intelligent plot as well as an endearing romance. It juggles so many different genres I expected the author to drop the ball but she didn't. The pace is tight, the characters believable, the terrorist context is well thought out and there are some great twists.

    The action is mostly seen through the eyes of Vivi a single mother who hasn't seen any action for some time. When a handsome stranger helps her at the mall there is sizzle between them, soon to be lost in a hail of terrorist bullets as the mall is attacked. Poor Vivi's day just goes downhill from there.

    One interesting aspect is the perspective of female terrorist Pilar. The author is sympathetic to Pilar's dilemma while condemning her actions. It is an interesting departure from the usual superficial depiction of terrorism. I recommend this intelligent book to anyone seeking a few hours of action packed entertainment.

    This is an action packed, well written novel, encompassing politics, terrorism and betrayal, and the dilemma of who to trust.

    An 8-year-old mute boy’s life is in danger when he becomes traumatised by events he has witnessed.

    I enjoyed this reading this book and it was good to hear the reasons why people choose to do what they do.
