Reviews for cold front

“Being a fan of military/action thrillers, I knew this would be one in my wheelhouse. This, however, is the first book I've read where the hero is Boatswain's Mate First Class in the United States Coast Guard. Thinking that he will have a less stressful career as he did as a Coast Guard's elite Maritime Security Response Team, Logan Cross is content just doing his duties. When three questionable violent deaths happen… he knows something is not right. This is a fast-paced, action-packed, detail driven book. The hand-to-hand fighting sequences are some of the best I've read, and the descriptions of the boats and how they are driven make the reader feel they are right there. A very solid debut novel!! Well done!!”

“I loved the flashback moments woven into the story. They give us a good picture of who Logan Cross is and what shaped him. Those glimpses into his past add depth. I also loved the scenes with his wife, Melanie. They grounded the story and reminded me that he’s more than a Coast Guard BM caught in a high risk conspiracy. He’s a husband trying to protect the life he built… The pacing kept things moving, the tension kept climbing, and I stayed invested in how it would all unfold.”

“Having never read a military thriller, I wasn’t entirely sure how well it would grab me or keep me interested but this author does an incredible job of capturing my attention. This book is hard hitting with its action, intrigue and character depth. The main character, while flawed, is easy to root for due to his devotion to his job, his crew, and his family. He will do the hard things despite the potential consequences that follow. I laughed at the character interactions and found myself highly invested in not only the main character but all the supporting cast as well. I find it hard to believe this is a debut novel, as the author has an incredible sense of what the reader needs to know with minimal fluff and filler. Some of the sequences were heavily technical, but I think that for readers who enjoy military thrillers this would be right up their alley. This is going to be an incredible series and I cannot wait to read more!”
