Knife to the Heart by Kristie Wolf Blog Tour

What happens when duty and desire collide like an avalanche?

All she wanted was a relaxing vacation in the tranquil ski-town of Red Snow, Colorado. But everything freezes for FBI Special Agent Rosalie Zenner when she spots an all-too-familiar deadly threat lurking in the mountain village. Duty-bound to ensure everyone's safety, she must stop a battle-hardened doctor with a reckless plan.

Dr. Cannon Ford, the small town’s selfless hero, is ready to pay any price to fulfill a life-saving promise, even negotiating with a criminal. But when the stunning FBI agent stands in his way from protecting his community, he's hit with a snow-melting attraction.

Caught between the monster from her past and the rugged, possessive doctor determined to make her leave, she refuses to let their explosive passion compromise her oath to catch a killer. While Cannon may not hold a badge, he's willing to take lives to save everyone he holds dear, including the woman who’s ensnared him.

As blood stains the icy trails, Cannon and Rosalie navigate impossible choices more perilous than the killer’s chilling plans. One wrong move could lead to a fate worse than a Knife to the Heart.

Welcome to Red Snow, where heroes emerge from the shadows, and love and danger entwine on every snowy slope.

Avid Reader – ☆☆☆☆
M/F Romance Mystery

Rosalie is on vacation – boarding down the mountain – wanting to forget the past just for a little bit. When she meets a handsome person on the mountain, she can't help but want to throw caution to the wind. Rosalie is actually in town for her cousin's wedding and wants to have a relaxing time.

With the past creeping in, Rosalie knows that she'll have to face it sooner or later. When she finds herself in the ER, the last person she expects to see is her mystery man.

Cannon is the CEO of the local hospital and loves what he does. When the hospital is hijacked and subjected to a ransomware attack, Cannon doesn't really know what to do. However, he has a sister who is needing a specific clinical trial at the local hospital and Cannon will stop at nothing to get it there.

When Cannon and Rosalie meet again, Rosalie sees that the hospital is under an attack and since that's what she does, she offers her help. However, Cannon isn't sure.

As the attacker moves closer and closer, Rosalie's past comes crashing into her present and it will take Cannon's hidden talents to help solve the mystery of who's attacking the hospital and the local people in town.

You won't be disappointed in this story. It's fast paced and the romance, while sometimes a little unconventional and unbelievable, still adds to the story. I can't wait for the next installation.

3.5 stars rounded up for a despicable baddie!

This is the first book in a new series, and definitely had a lot to commend it – I will be looking out for future stories, and hope to catch up with Rosalie and Cannon.

The story revolves around a cybercrime, which then develops in a collection of terrorist acts, all to gain the attention of FBI agent Rosalie Zenner. As we get to learn her backstory, it explains some of the complications, moving the original situation – the freezing of the hospital data for ransom – into an escalation of much more intense significance.

I did find that the pacing was a little slow and that the narrative could have been snappier, but the underlying story was interesting enough to keep me reading. I liked the romance in that they were two people who deserved some happiness, but their habit of disappearing at key moments for some privacy didn't always fit in with the drama unfolding around them, and somehow lessened the tension in the wrong way, at least for me.

I cannot imagine how the drama can keep up this pace in the next installment – I await its release with interest.

 

 

 

KRISTIE WOLF is an award-winning author of steamy romantic suspense.

When she was a teenager, she read her first romance novel and connected with it so deeply that she immediately told her mother she was going to write one. She is thrilled to bring that dream fully to fruition with the release of Too Dangerous to Love, book one in the Project VIPER series.

While her career as a marketing professional in the government technology space hasn’t taught her to troubleshoot a computer, she’s fascinated with what happens when technology spectacularly fails. The chilling stories she’s heard from the nation’s tech leaders are the catalyst for plots about maniacal terrorists but don’t worry. Her military and law enforcement alpha heroes and badass heroines always save the day while burning up the pages and finding happily ever after. She’s looking forward to sharing the VIPER world with you starting with the October 2023 release of Too Dangerous to Love, followed by the releases of Too Deadly to Love, Too Damaged to Love, and Too Cold to Love.

Kristie resides in Maryland with her husband – aka her tech support – and her two teenagers who participate in nearly every sport or activity ever invented. Many of her words are written on the pool deck, on the sidelines and in the bleachers, or in her car.
