The promise of a romantic weekend turns into a horrible nightmare from which Sarah Thompson has to escape in Cold Fury by Lindy Shannon. Fleeing from a madman into a snowstorm, Sarah has just about given up when she is suddenly rescued by a tall, handsome stranger who happens to be one of a group of special agents searching for a serial killer. Surrounded by strong men, Sarah is drawn to Derrick, who brought her in from the cold, and Tyler, the group’s medic and Derrick’s best friend. The action continues as Sarah agrees to help the group and the FBI set up a trap for the killer, but he proves to be more ruthless than anyone had anticipated. Will Sarah be lucky enough to be rescued again? And will she be able to return to any kind of a normal life after having had the attention and protection of such special men?

Full of action, suspense and romance, Cold Fury is a quick-paced story with intriguing characters and a layered plot. Sarah’s history with her family and Derrick’s interactions with his team members provide depth to their characters which creates tension between them that may prevent a happy ending. The rescue scenes as well as the love scenes are clear and detailed, providing tremendous realism. Lindy Shannon has done a great job of setting the stage for a follow-up novel involving Sarah’s twin sister, Elizabeth, and the promise of more to come is a strong draw for readers to look forward to a new release.

Review Rating: 5 stars!

Cold Fury is a romantic suspense novel written by Lindy Shannon. Derrick, Tyler and the rest of their team are hunting a serial killer who preys on women in the bitter cold. They’re private contractors hired by the FBI to aid in tracking the killer down. Derrick is patrolling the area when he sees something small and dark huddled in the snow. When he approaches, he finds a small woman who’s motionless and barely breathing. He gathers her up and brings her into the house where the team is staying. Fearing hypothermia, they quickly remove her cold and sodden clothing and settle her into a warm bath. They notice that she’s covered in bruises and has cigarette burns on her arms. When she regains consciousness, she tells them a story about how a romantic weekend with her professor boyfriend suddenly turned into a nightmare.

Lindy Shannon’s romantic suspense novel, Cold Fury, is exciting and fast-paced. Sarah’s psychotic boyfriend is truly terrifying, and the story of his transformation from an urbane and polite gentleman into a sadistic and controlling monster is spooky and unforgettable. Derrick and his team are marvelous characters and their personalities and individual quirks are well-developed. I’m hoping to see this team at work again on other assignments as they’re just too good a cast of characters to be limited to just one book. While there are sensual passages in Cold Fury, they are tastefully presented and were not at all offensive. Cold Fury is a fun read that blends psychological thrills with romance, and it works wonderfully. Cold Fury is highly recommended.
