Thrilling, edge-of-your-seat excitement & the chemistry between Zoe & Seth can be felt from the very first time their gazes meet, & destiny apparently felt it, too, as they are drawn closer together while Seth accompanies Zoe across the country. This is a fast-paced, compelling, & often gripping story that is sure to keep you completely involved from start to finish. You will definitely find this one almost impossible to put down but well worth your time & enjoyment.

An exciting, fast paced read, with no down side. I loved the interaction between Zoe and Seth, both are driven, smart and interesting. The bad guys abound and are not just the regular suspects, but pop up unexpectedly, just when all appears to be settling down. There is romance, steam and the HEA, along with a possible lead in for the next book. Do not miss this one! Add it now to your TBR list.

Wowzers!! Anderson has done it again! She's given her fans exactly what they wanted, and come to expect from her. Cold Deceit is a thrilling romantic suspense. It's full of danger, intrigue, suspense, angst, romance, and heat. And interesting characters I loved (Zoe and Seth are terrific), and an amazing storyline. Once I started reading, I didn't want to stop. Highly recommend. Many thanks to the author and BookFunnel for an advance copy of this book.

Toni loves to travel for research and was lucky enough to visit the Strategic Information and Operations Center inside FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C.
