There is little wonder why this was 2015 Holt Medallion Finalist. What a very touching read of a daughter believing in her father’s innocents so much so that she is willing to put her life on the line to prove it. Scarlett feels she has little choice with her father in prison dying for a crime she knows he didn’t commit. It is bad enough that she could get caught but finding out someone had been there before her to plant their own listening devices was just heart breaking. Then to find that her best friend was taken, the FBI are following her and take her in. We have boats blowing up, bullets flying, kidnapping, murder, tons of action and passion just a enough heat to keep it interesting. What more could a reader ask for. Toni has been one of my favorite authors from the very first book I read of hers. She never lets me down with her suspense, action packed reads.
Scarlett is wonderful she might have the brains but she sure doesn’t have to know how to pull off the caper of planning a bug. She is nerdy with making a bug that can’t be traced, she has guts, willing to put herself on the line not only for her father but her best friend. I loved her sense of humor, her wiliness to to fight for what she believed in. She has style and class but knows enough to be afraid but doesn’t let that stop her.
I was so glad to see Matt get his own story I just loved him and his whitty ways. He knows how to pull off what needs to be done sticking to target like glue. I thought the hot chocolate was totally awesome and he knows he was going to be in trouble when she woke up. He went for what he wanted but felt guilty doing it. This is a man after my own heart which he got whether he wanted it or not.
The Russians are enough to put the fear of God in the scarcest people, the things that do in this book are just sad. I was glad to see the outcome. It was wonderful to visit with characters from the past books. So many you have fallen in love with it was nice to catch up with them.
For me this was a page turner that had me hooked from the first page. The audio is out of this world the narrator is outstanding. He brings the book to life as he takes you on an action packed ride. He hits the tones just as they need to be with scaring the pants right off me. I found this an easy book to relate to and very believable. It isn’t hard to believe that this has or is happening.
Toni puts a lot of thought into her writing giving wonderful believable stories that you can relate to. They are action packed adventures that keep you holding on to your seat, you do not have to wait long for the other shoe to fall. There is nothing I do not just love about Toni’s writing she doesn’t it in style that I am totally hooked on. I highly recommend this or any of Toni’s books for a wonderful exciting thrill with tons of action, passion and excitement that will just about make you wet your pants in one way or another.

Popular Highlights in this book
“Most exhibit antisocial behavior—think classic sociopath who only care about their own needs with no sense of right or wrong.” Rooney looked enthusiastic about her subject. “Many show traits of narcissism and grandiosity with a huge sense of entitlement, decided lack of empathy. When they don’t get what they think they deserve they blame other people and can be petty, vindictive, and vengeful.”Highlighted by 52 Kindle readers- Marlon was the code name used by the Russians for the same spy Richard Stone had confessed to being.Highlighted by 46 Kindle readers

COLD LIGHT OF DAY: Cold Justice Book #3 by Toni Anderson (FBI Romantic Suspense)
COLD LIGHT OF DAY is the third book in Toni Anderson's "Cold Justice" series and while it can be read as a standalone, I'd still highly recommend reading A COLD DARK PLACE (Book 1) first since I not only loved it, but it also happens to be free on kindle and the couple from that story also play an important role in this one. Book 2 on the other hand was my least favorite and in my opinion can easily be skipped since that couple doesn't even make a single appearance here, although readers are given a brief update on how they are doing.This was a fast paced and intriguing romantic suspense, but honestly not one I would normally read since I'm not generally a fan of espionage or political thrillers. However, I really love this author's writing and the first book hooked me on this group of FBI agents so I am sure I'll be reading every book in the series at some point. The story revolves around Scarlett Stone, the daughter of a convicted spy who is determined to prove her father's innocence, and Matt Lazlo, the former SEAL and current FBI agent who while trying to protect her, ends up falling for her instead.I really enjoyed this story which was action packed and always kept me guessing. As a mystery/thriller I was very impressed but as a romance I thought it left something to be desired. The entire thing takes place in less than two days (except for an epilogue one month later) so you'll have to believe in love at first sight which I just wasn't feeling. And while I sincerely liked both Scarlett and Matt, I had a hard time believing that such a smart woman could be so naive. Overall though it was a solid story and I look forward to reading Book 4 =)Ages: Scarlett (26) Matt (36)Length: The kindle edition I read ended at the 88% mark on page 331 and location 4011.
