When her past comes back to haunt her…
Former FBI cyber security agent Eryn Calloway worked many cyber investigations during her career as an FBI agent and while serving as Blackwell Tactical's cyber expert. But when her computer is locked with ransomware, she suddenly finds herself facing the biggest investigation of all. Failure to solve the case and find the hacker could result in the loss of her very life.
Can she let the one man who can protect her get close enough to do so?
Enter former Green Beret, deputy Trey Sawyer who offers to serve as her bodyguard. Trey has been in love with Eryn for a year, but she lost her husband several years ago and isn't ready to open herself to the potential for pain again. She's kept Trey at arm's length and wants to do so now-after all, she can take care of herself. But she has a four-year-old daughter to protect, so Eryn reluctantly agrees to let Trey into her world. But when they're thrown together in a race for her life, she has to combat both a vicious enemy-and the pain from her past. Is Trey trustworthy enough to let him into every area of her life, or is the risk too great?
My thoughts: COLD CASE starts out with a great first line "Cancel your classes or your computer isn't the only thing that will be DOA." That is an attention-getter for sure.
COLD CASE is book 4 in Ms. Sleeman's Cold Harbor Series but it easily stands alone. I do have books 1, 2, and 3 but haven't read them yet. I am looking forward to going back and getting some of the previous stories though.
Eryn is super intelligent and quite frankly I was very lost at most of the words that came out of her mouth. Highly technical in cyber lingo, I didn't understand a word of. To Ms. Sleeman's credit, she had Trey not understand them either, so the reader was given translations of the computer-eze but it did slow down the reading and make the story somewhat drag at times as this reader got lost in unfamiliar language.
Trey was a sweetie. He did wear his heart on his sleeve, and didn't bother to even attempt to hide his attraction to the beautiful Eryn. He is a Green Beret, he is a deputy, but he's benched due to a serious hip injury. He's willing to watch cartoons with Eyrn's young daughter and eat chicken nuggets, so what's not to love?
Once I did manage to wade through the mumble-jumble of the first several chapters the suspense and the story did pick up. And I did force myself to keep reading during those several first technical chapters because this is a Susan Sleeman book and she writes top-notch, bone-chilling, heart-pounding, edge-of-your-seat, romantic suspense.
I was given a copy of this book free. All opinions are my own.
I am going to go back and read the first three books in the series.
