ColdHearted_ToniAnderson_FINALAbout COLD HEARTED

Hunting For A Killer…Who Doesn’t Play By The Rules.

Detective Erin Donovan expects life to quiet down after the arrest and conviction of a serial rapist who terrified her university town last summer. Then two young women are brutally slain and the murders bear all the hallmarks of the campus rapist. Did Erin arrest an innocent man? Now her job is at stake and tensions are high and just when it looks like things can’t get worse, her department gets the help it needs to solve the double homicide–in the form of a man Erin has never been able to forget.

FBI Agent Darsh Singh has no interest in reliving the past. Three years ago, his feelings for Erin Donovan had him breaking all his rules about getting involved. Now his only interest in the former NYPD detective is figuring out if she screwed up a rape investigation and helped send an innocent man to prison. But being forced to work together rekindles their old attraction, and as Darsh and Erin fall for each other, the campus predator fixates on Erin. The race is on to identify the ruthless killer before he makes Erin his final victim.

Tracey’s Review

With a past that left her feeling weak and defenseless, Detective Erin Donovan now prides herself on being strong and not needing anyone. The fly in the ointment, so to speak, is one Darsh Singh, special agent in the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit. Back when Erin was trying to break away from an abusive situation, she found power, freedom, and passion in one unexpected encounter with him. Now, when the horrendous crimes sweeping Blackcombe College require the help of the BAU, Darsh is the last person that Erin wants to see. Darsh has never forgotten the night with Erin, either, or the anger that followed the white-hot passion between them. When he’s called to Blackcombe to help unravel a high profile case, the two find themselves working together to stop the wave of violence that threatens the residents of the town.

COLD HEARTED by Toni Anderson is described as a book of interest for fans of shows like CSI or Criminal Intent, which I am. The book seemed like something that would be just what the doctor ordered to keep my TBR well-rounded, while introducing me to an author whose work I was not familiar with, and, I have to say, I am very happy that I took the opportunity. Toni has plotted a realistically gritty story, complete with dedicated but damaged detective Erin Donovan, mysterious and charismatic FBI agent Darsh Singh, and enough red herrings to keep the reader guessing up until the big reveal.

The attraction between Erin and Darsh practically jumps off the pages. Both are strong-willed, capable, and experts at their respective jobs. They’re also like a powder keg waiting to explode, deny it though Erin does. With the heat between the two of them intertwined with a plot that grabbed me from the opening paragraph, kicking off a story that I knew would be an action-packed mind game, COLD HEARTED was just the book that I was looking for.

Toni writes Erin, Darsh, and all of the characters wonderfully well, giving each a depth and complexity that makes them a pleasure to read, and has brought vividly to life a college campus held in the sway of an unknown menace that will make them question everything that they thought they knew.

Although this is the sixth book in the Cold Justice series, and the of Toni’s books that I have read, it does perfectly well as a standalone. Being the engrossing and tightly-written read that it is, COLD HEARTED is an easy 4.5 stars for me, and I look forward to reading more of Toni’s books in the future.

Synopsis

From New York Times bestseller Katy Regnery comes another timeless tale of love everlasting!

Loosely inspired by the legend of Camelot, Dark Sexy Knight tells the story of dinner theater knight Colt Lane, who meets down-on-her-luck Verity Gwynn on the worst day of her life. Evicted from their home, Verity and her special-needs brother, Ryan, must find jobs or risk being separated. Colt, who is the furthest-possible thing from a white knight in real life, comes to their unlikely rescue, quickly cementing his place in Verity’s heart.

Colt has dark, deeply buried secrets that keep his smile hidden and his eyes down, which has kept people away . . . until he meets Verity, who seems immune to his gruff manners and taciturn ways. The more time Colt spends with her, the more he longs for her sweetness in his life and yearns to be the knight in shining armor she so desperately needs. Certain he will lose her if she learns the truth about his past, he must decide if he can trust her with his yesterday in order to build a beautiful tomorrow.

Michel’s Review
Throughout the ages people have been fascinated with the Legend of Camelot.  It is one of the most loved legends and epic romances of all time.  Katy Regnery has put a new spin on the beloved legend and makes the readers fall in love once again with the idea of Knights and chivalry .  Her epic fairytale spin off redefines the definition of a knight in shining armor and gives our modern day world a new kind of hero.
***
Dark Sexy Knight revolves around a dinner theater portraying the medieval times.  Our hero, Colt Lane, is the dark Viking Knight that battles the White Knight on a nightly basis.  His victories are few and far between, just like his life.  Life muddles along that way until he meets his own Princess, Verity Gwynn.  He now has something to fight for, something to protect, something to cherish.  Winning her heart was easy, protecting her from the evil kingdom and his darkness will take every bit of honor and self control he has within him.  Princess Gwynn is a package deal, she has to take care of her special needs brother, Ryan.  The evil knight, Artie, is determined to cut Ryan down and steal her affection.  Verity knows a real knight in shining armor when she sees one and it is not the one that shines on the surface.
***
Verity and Ryan were down on their luck when they met Colt Lane at a job fair.  Colt not only helped them get jobs but also rescued them from the violent neighborhood they were staying in.  He gave them a chance to get on their feet,  He respected them as individuals and offered friendship.  He helped Verity give Ryan the security and protection he needed in his life.  He wants to share his life but Colt has his own secrets, his own battles, and another princess he has to protect.  Can he let Verity into his world and will he be able to give her the happiness she deserves?
***
Once again Katy Regnery created an emotional story that stands out in any era.  She portrayed a very realistic world that revolves around those with special needs.  She also added a multitude of layers to Colt’s and Verity’s lives that added that extra something to their relationship.  She blended her characters lives, struggles, and triumphs into an enchanting story.  I could not put this book down and felt enriched after reading it.
 ***
On a personal note, I want to commend Katy for creating this story.  The special needs community is very dear to my heart.  For many years I worked with special needs students.  All of those very special people own a very big space in my heart.  They have given me more friendship and love than most people experience in a lifetime.  They were a true blessing in my life.  Katy captured their beauty, innocence, and unconditional capacity to  love.  She captured their spirit.  Thank you Katy… Dark Sexy Knight was truly a beautiful book!

Synopsis

Still struggling with amnesia, Ella questions everything she’s known about Kayden Wilkens—the alluring stranger who claims to have found her unconscious in an alleyway a month earlier. But was he truly a stranger—or did Kayden know her before his supposed rescue? Tormented by the potential betrayal he denies, with fleeting memories of a bombshell in her recent past, Ella must face a hard reality. Every action has consequences . . . and trusting Kayden, the one thing she most desires, might result in the direst consequences of all.

demand use fs

Excerpt

Crossing behind the couch toward the kitchen, I find myself remembering those naked, intimate moments with Kayden only a short time ago. The passion. The trust I’d felt for him. And then his words: “We both want more. Until we don’t.” The words send a surge of adrenaline and nerves through my body.

The scent of freshly brewed coffee teases my nostrils as I reach the kitchen, where I immediately find Kayden standing behind the island. But it’s not him that makes my heart lurch, as usual. It’s my gun that’s lying on the counter between us.

And when I should perhaps step backward I find myself charging forward to claim the other side of the counter.

“What is that for?”

“You thought you needed it earlier,” he says. “I want you to have it now.”

My fingers curl on the tiled counter. “Do I need it?”

“That’s for you to decide.”

“That isn’t the answer I want.”

His jaw sets hard. “If you’re expecting an answer you’ll want, you’d better pick up that gun.”

We stare at each other, a push and pull between us that has nothing to do with fear or intimidation, and everything to do with a bond we both know is being tested. “I know what you’re doing.”

“What am I doing?”

“The same thing you did outside that church, when you helped me hold the gun to your chest.”

“Which is what?”

“Offering me the façade of control.”

“You holding a loaded gun on me in no way equals a façade.”

“I know you now,” I counter. “You don’t give up control, even when you say you are.”

He rests his hands on the counter, one turned just enough for me to catch a glimpse of the hawk inked on his wrist, its wings spread, the mark of a man whose rules of many must dictate his actions. “There are two sides to this coin,” he says, his words drawing my attention, his pale blue eyes piercing mine. “The me with you, and the me with everyone else.”

“We barely knew each other at the church.”

“I’d already decided you were mine. You just didn’t know it yet.”

Tracey’s Review

I am absolutely loving the Careless Whispers series by Lisa Renee Jones HARD! It has captivated me from the first page of the first book, DENIAL, and just keeps getting better. DEMAND picks up immediately following the OMGoodness ending of DENIAL, Book 1 in the series, and, oh, how this book continues to deliver. The intrigue, the delicious tension, the hotter-than-all-heck sexiness, Lisa Renee just keeps it all coming.

As Ella becomes more involved with Kayden and the Underground, her memories, although still sketchy, continue to return, revealing more of her past, while leaving many questions unanswered. And, as the pieces in the mystery surrounding the necklace that plays such a big part of Ella’s forgotten past begin to come together, the players in the dangerous race to find it are revealed.

As a note, the books in the Careless Whispers series build on each other, so it is important to read them in order, because you will have missed out on all the backstory if DENIAL isn’t read first. The great news there is that these books are such great reads, that you’ll devour them and be left wanting more.

DEMAND is part steamy romance, part political intrigue, and all riveting, an action-packed thrill ride that does disappoint. I did have that moment of, ‘Are you KIDDING me?!’ when I got to the end of the big reveal, only to find that I’m going to be waiting for the rest of the pieces to come together. Why? Because SURRENDER, the third book in the series, is still to come, but that just means more Kayden and Ella goodness, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. As with all of Lisa Renee’s books, DEMAND is an easy 5-star read for me, and I can’t wait to get my hands on SURRENDER come December. You’ll want to add this series to your TBR, because it is not to be missed.

A beaten slave and a richly dressed thief. Money is what guided their separate fates. Money is what brought them together. And money is ultimately what destroys them.

He was rich.

Together…they were bankrupt.

BLURB:

Tanner Hart, the All-American bad boy bass guitarist of Jaded Regret, has one motto— play women’s bodies like he does the strings of his guitar— hard, in tune, and giving it his all until the show is over. The only strings he wants attached to him are the ones he plays on the stage.

He has quite the reputation, even with his own band, and he likes it that way. It keeps the truth of who he really is locked deep inside. But there’s so much more to him than anyone really knows…

Now that he’s successful, he can afford to find out what really happened to the only girl who’s ever held his heart. The only thing is…will he really want to know the truth?

When Mackenzie ‘Mac’ Shepard finds herself in a situation she’s been in too many times before, she expects to do what she’s always done— cover it up, accept the apologies, and move on. She knows trying to get out is futile. What she doesn’t expect is for the world famous Tanner Hart to burst into her life like a knight in sexy armor.

When their lives collide and hearts get involved, can Tanner keep his hartstrings from being tangled up in his past, or can he make a new kind of music… with his heart?

Lis’s Review  ****** 6 Stars

 

What is it that attracts you to a book? Do you go for the cover? The back blurb? Do you read the sample that comes with the e-book? Do you pick up the paperback and read the first chapter? While J.T. Cheyanne’s new book has not just one but two hot guys on the incredible cover, and the back blurb hints at a romance with a mystery involved, believe me when I say you will be HOOKED by the opening chapter. I know my mouth dropped open and all I could think was damn, what a shocker! How can the author possibly take this story up a notch after an opening like that? With Collateral Damage, J.T. Cheyanne totally rocked it from start to finish.

 

Trevor Garrett is a big city cop relocated to small town Mississippi in a desperate attempt to escape the ghosts of his past, a past that leaves him fearful of being touched both physically and emotionally. He’s the new detective on the Rolling Fork police force, an outsider who’s trying to fit in but lay low at the same time so he can wrestle his demons and forget about his past in his own way. Logan Andrews is the hometown favorite son, as Trevor calls him. He’s come back to Rolling Fork to take care of his mother Stella, who’s suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Neither man is looking for anything more than a simple life: Trevor to do his job, Logan to take care of mom and the farm. Neither wants a relationship of any kind, for both have loved and lost to the extreme.

 

Yet in a small town dive bar, they see each other and like moths to the flame the attraction is full of heat, consequences be damned. Trevor’s aversion to being touched has no bearing where Logan is concerned; in fact, the army hero’s touch soothes and calms him in ways that nothing else can. Logan doesn’t think he’ll ever find true love after the loss of the man he tried to save so long ago yet he wants Trevor with a yearning so strong he’s willing to finally reveal his secret of being gay to the folks back home. But when the first murder victim is discovered, the fledgling romance is tested to the breaking point.

 

So much is at stake in this book: new love, trust issues, being gay in small town Mississippi, doing one’s job, battling nightmares, and ultimately overcoming all these things to discover what lies beneath the surface. In this book, love takes many forms: sexual discovery, hero worship, family ties, what’s expected, what’s frowned upon, the need to belong, and the need to be free. Both men know their responsibilities, but it’s the what-ifs that plague them and mold them into the men we first meet. When the murders start, Trevor must dig through the circumstantial evidence to find the killer. Both men come face to face with their pasts, and by doing so discover the meaning of true love, the kind of love that forgives the past and fights to forge a new connection so strong that nothing and no one will stand in its way.

 

Trevor and Logan’s chemistry is immediate and explosive. They are meant to be together yet are tested time and time again. Their story is full of heartbreak and hope, and thanks to an incredible cast of secondary characters, we learn so much about our heroes through the eyes of others. Logan’s mom is a true Southern lady, soft and sweet as the tea she serves, yet with a protective streak a mile wide that even her illness cannot diminish. Logan is blessed with friends who have to be the coolest couple in male/male literature. Carson and Dante stand by him through the ups and downs and I would love to know their back-story some day. Trevor’s former college roommate Noah and his beau Ashton only want the best for their struggling friend. Noah tries so hard and suffers for his efforts, yet proves to be the catalyst to figuring out the mystery. And the killer… well, let’s just say the author shows us good and evil all wrapped up in one tragic twist of fate.

 

This book shocked me, comforted me, made me laugh out loud and cry like a baby. I loved both men equally, loved how their story tugged at my heart and kept me on the edge of my seat. I will never forget Trevor’s vulnerability, or Logan’s swaggering confidence. Trevor the cop was exactly what he needed to be to match Logan’s Special Forces hero. Together they discovered the missing link, the love that was the only thing to prevent them both from becoming Collateral Damage.
