Evidence that a notorious criminal is hiding out in a small, seaside town in rural Maine leads to an FBI agent going undercover in this new Romantic Thriller from New York Times bestselling author Toni Anderson.
Grady Steel returns to the insular community of Deception Cove, Maine, where he spent his troubled youth unfairly labeled the town’s bad boy. Now a member of the FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team, Grady is on a risky undercover mission, hunting one of the FBI’s Most Wanted fugitives.
Recovering from a broken marriage, Brynn Webster comes home to the sleepy small town—where nothing ever happens—to help her parents run their seaside cafe during her mother’s illness. After diving into the frigid waters of the winter harbor to rescue a dead man, Brynn begins to realize that the ocean isn’t the only place swirling with dangerous undercurrents.
Grady befriends the pretty manager of the local cafe in an effort to unearth the town’s closely guarded secrets. Deceiving Brynn isn’t easy, though, especially when he starts to fall for her. Then, when decades-old crimes lead to modern-day murder, Grady’s mission becomes a race against time as he strives to catch a ruthless killer—before Brynn becomes the next victim.
My review:
Cold Snap is the third book in the Cold Justice: Most Wanted series. I really love this author and once I start reading one of her books, I am in it until I finish it. The book had so many layers, lots of twists and turns, and a very unpredictable ending.
Grady Steel had not returned to his hometown of Deception Cove, Maine, since his grandmother died. Only now after a bank robbery, the FBI thinks one of their Most Wanted fugitives is living there and they need Grady to go undercover since he knows the locals. To get information, he renews old friendships, but deceiving Brynn becomes difficult with the connection he feels toward her.
“Time to think about how life feels like it is no longer worth living? Time to think about how the one woman I’ve allowed myself to have feelings for, ever, had changed her mind about me?”
Brynn Webster returns home to help her parents run their café while her mother is ill. Discovering a dead body in the harbor puts her on the suspect list along with Grady. Can she forgive Grady for his betrayal while solving the crimes?
This was an amazing suspenseful romance and I highly recommend it. I couldn’t put the book down and the ending was a total surprise to me. I cannot wait for the next book in the series.
I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
