A woman being hunted. The agent she betrayed. One chance to save her life.

Somewhere deep in her bones, Josephine Maxwell always knew he’d come back—the attacker who once left her for dead. All those years ago, he created the bold, smart-mouthed survivor she grew up to be. Now he’s back to destroy her.

Even as she fights tooth and nail, one regret nags at her mind. It’s shaped like a tall, handsome FBI agent whom she couldn’t allow past the twisted-barbed-wire defenses strung by her past trauma.

Despite the betrayal that ended things between them, Special Agent-in-Charge Marshall Hayes can’t get Josie out of his mind. Her waif-like figure, big blue eyes, Titanic attitude problem—he hasn’t looked at another woman since.

When Josie’s past comes crashing back into her life, Marsh doesn’t give her a choice about letting him help her. Because he was born and bred to protect. And to catch a killer and keep Josie safe, he’ll break every rule—and risk losing his heart all over again.

REVISED AND UPDATED, NOVEMBER 2021.

Finalist in the Daphne du Maurier Award of Excellence in Romantic Suspense.

    My rating: 4.5 of 5 ⭐️

    For eighteen years Josephine Maxwell has lived with the fear of her attacker coming back to finish the job he started, shielding herself from the world around her, her only connection her art and her one good friend. Never more alone since losing the last connection with her childhood six months ago and walking away from a man she could not get out of her mind, her nightmare was becoming a reality. No longer safe from her attacker, the only person able to help her is the same FBI agent she betrayed and left handcuffed to a bed.

    Working on major art crimes, FBI SAC Marshall Hayes has always been a stickler for law and order, following every rule by the book. But when he intercepts an emergency call from an address he knows only too well, he doesn't hesitate to throw out the rule book to get to the side of the complicated woman whom he has kept tabs on for the last half year. Finding out the man who scarred her for life has her back in his sights, rears every protective cell in Marshall's body.

    Trust is at a premium between Josie and Marsh, since their initial encounters six months ago left neither of them inclined to make that mistake again. But knowing well enough that alone she stands no chance against a killer intent on making her his next victim, Josie has no choice but to entrust Marsh with her safety, even if it makes resisting him as a man that much more difficult. Marsh doesn't trust anyone with Josie's safekeeping other than someone of his choosing, but finds the line between needing to be close and wanting to be close to Josie blurred.

    The closer they are entangled in their dual pursuit to bring down the killer before he brings them down, the more difficult it becomes to deny the truth that has been in their hearts the whole time.....

    *******

    AGAIN!!! Fan-freakin-tastic example of suspence-romance writing!!!

    HER LAST CHANCE has a slight dark and tragic flavour to it that I was not entirely able to get rid of, despite the outcome of the book. But Toni Anderson's writing is so sharp, insightful and well-balanced, I overcame my slight 'hang-over' in no time.

    Josephine is such an incredibly strong, sad, lonely and hurt individual, she has turned quite ascerbic in her social movements. Like a wounded cat, she snarls and snaps at anything or anyone that comes too close, thinking she is protecting herself, but instead pushing much needed protection away from her. With only a killer's singular focus on her, she is distrustful of anyone's interest and her own feelings.

    Frustrated with Josie's unapproachability and her flippancy towards his beloved law and order, Marshall is trying hard to come to terms with his own demons and restrictions before he can place his feelings for Josie properly. Finding his largely self-imposed structure had been necessary to keep some vestige of control of his life, with Josie he feels himself loosening those boundaries.

    A high intensity story, with action from the first page on, an intricate suspense tale with twists and turns that are susprising and a conclusion that is as near to closure as is possible to come. The characters are deep and rather brooding, but manage to lose themselves in each other. And the writing is clever, hot and altogether fabulous!

    ✨A potent, taunting & hair-raising quest for closure.✨

    4.0 out of 5 stars Top notch suspense that keeps the reader guessing till the very end.
    Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    Toni Anderson is an author who landed on my auto-buy list after reading my second book from hers, i.e. Dark Waters that served to give everything that makes a Toni Anderson a worthy read. There are very few authors who can combine elements of romance and suspense with creepy enough villains to make you look over your shoulders even while reading, and Toni Anderson is one of them for me.

    Her Last Chance is the second book in an untitled series, I say untitled because I couldn’t find the name of the “series” that ties this book to the first one, Her Sanctuary which was published in 2009. My impatience to read Her Last Chance saw me skipping the first book, something I regretted a wee bit when I delved into this one because I somehow seemed to miss out on a large chunk of the “relationship” that had forged between the protagonists in this novel.

    Josephine Maxwell (Josie) is being hunted by the killer who had left without taking her life almost 20 years back. A serial killer whose thirst for inflicting pain and scarring his victims leaves the law enforcement including the FBI reeling to uncover every single clue they must in order to stop the nefarious killer from taking any more lives. Within Josephine’s memories of her encounter with the killer all those years ago lies the crucial clues that could finally lead them to the killer whose thirst for death, violence and spillage of blood of his victims seems to be escalating exponentially.

    Special Agent in Charge Marshall Hayes who is in charge of the Forgeries and Fine Arts Division has a hard time putting the image of the woman who had stamped herself on his very soul from their very short and fiery acquaintance a couple of months back out of his head. The fact that a woman who is the antithesis of everything that he believes in and has worked more than half of his life to uphold irks Marshall and the irony of being in love with a woman whose only strong feeling towards him is the despise she feels towards him is one that is not lost on Marshall.

    All of Marshall’s feelings towards Josephine explodes in his face when faced with the news of the attack on her, and nothing and absolutely nothing stops the determination with which Marshall steps forward to protect Josephine at any cost. With the frustration of trying to keep Josephine in line while his work brings forth its own challenges, Marshall practically has his work cut out for him trying to make Josephine see that for him there would never be any woman who would entice him and call out to his soul like she does.

    I must say that the suspense element Her Last Chance was top-notch. It kept me guessing, on tenterhooks, willing the killer to reveal his identity when all the while he was right there close enough to scent out if dots had only connected before. Toni has definitely mastered the art of spinning a tale that is hard to put down, especially for a good crime story lover like myself and I must say that Toni is an author you should definitely look out for if you are a fan of the genre.

    When it comes to the characters, of course Marshall is the one that I fell in love with, wholeheartedly. The core values that he believes in that never shatters even when the going gets tough was one aspect of his character that I was immensely drawn towards. There exists few people like him in the real world and though the obstacles in his way are many, the need to do the right thing, the zeal to find justice even when everything else points in the other direction was the aspect of his character that I totally fell for. Of course it doesn’t hurt the man when he is obscenely good looking, well-mannered and protective to a fault when it comes to Josephine. The power that emanates from him, the way he can just stride into a room and have everyone come to his attention is a part of his character that practically leaped out of the pages for me. In short, his character was done well enough to leave a girl wanting more.

    Now Josephine was a tough nut to crack so to speak. She has led a tough life, and I think part of what makes her character tick was lost on me, perhaps owing to the fact that I skipped out on reading the first book in the series. I found Josephine a bit irritating at times, but then I also understood where she was coming from, her insecurities making her lash out at the one good thing that has happened to her in all her life. While the sizzle between Josephine and Marshall was kept real, I felt a wee bit disappointed when Toni skipped out on giving readers a full fledged scene of passion between the two. Nevertheless the story worked on many other levels which mostly made up for an aspect perhaps only readers like myself would point out.

    "I underestimated the amount of pure stubborn pigheadedness running through her veins. She passed out rather than admit she might actually be in the wrong." And there you have Josephine Maxwell to a T! Josephine is not always an easy heroine to like and she certainly gives Marshall Hayes a run for his money. Both characters were introduced in Book 1 of this series, HER SANCTUARY, and although this works as a stand-alone, I would advise you read them in order.

    There is a lot going on in this story. Toni Anderson is one of the few romance authors who is able to deliver both steamy scenes and a fast moving plot. This one involves a serial killer and art theft.

    There are two secondary characters, Vincent Brandt, the yummy former SEAL who is Josie's bodyguard and Steve Dancer, a brilliant, young FBI agent. Both of these characters deserve their own novel.

    Advice to Vince: "Don't let her out of your sight until I get back tonight." Marsh looked down at the angelic countenance of the Blade Hunter's first victim. "And don't trust a word she says."

    I recently read Toni Anderson's entertaining predecessor to this novel "The Sanctuary:" As I was sure was the case for most readers of "Her Sanctuary", I wanted to know what happened to the two interesting sub characters, Josie and Marsh. Toni Anderson has admirably fulfilled her readers wishes by involving these two dynamic characters in a suspenseful mystery featuring art theft, serial killing and sizzling romance. The plot has been woven to have the art theft mystery converging with the serial killing mystery. Perhaps the title of this novel reflects the last chance for the hero to save the heroine.

    Note:It is not at all necessary to read the predecessor to enjoy this novel.
