Publisher Description
Read this thrilling story about a wildlife biologist who will do anything to save endangered snow leopards…even face-off with an elite Special Forces soldier who is tracking the world’s most-wanted terrorist—a man who is as much of a ghost as the elusive cats themselves.
Wildlife biologist Axelle Dehn isn’t about to let anyone harm her endangered snow leopards—not the poacher intent on killing them, nor the soldier who wants to use them as bait. But Axelle is unknowingly entangled in a conflict that stretches back three decades, a conflict that could spark a war between two of the world’s great nations.
British SAS soldier, Ty Dempsey, is on a mission to hunt down an infamous Russian terrorist in a remote region of Afghanistan. Dempsey hasn’t failed a mission yet, but when Axelle is kidnapped by the Russian, he is forced to choose between duty and his heart. He risks everything to save the determined, prickly woman he’s fallen for, but in doing so sparks a deadly series of events that threaten to expose the most successful spy in history. A spy who will destroy anyone who gets in his way.

"I enthusiastically recommend The Killing Game by Toni Anderson. If you enjoy tense romantic suspense, military heroes who are old enough to retire from the military (Ty Dempsey enlisted at seventeen and has served twenty-two years = a thirty-nine year-old hero) and heroines who are passionate about their work, then skip the rest of this review and start the book now." –Smart Bitches Trashy Books.

Great read...fast paced and thrilling. Couldn't wait to find out what would happen next. Twists and turns and a few unexpected surprises. Definitely recommend it!
A great suspense story
Toni Anderson's books have been in my TBR pile for a while but I hadn't gotten around to them yet so when I was offered The Killing Game to review I jumped at the opportunity. After reading this book I cannot wait to read more by this author.
The Killing Game is about a wildlife biologist, a British SAS, Russian spies, and snow leopards. Dr. Axelle Dehn and her snow leopards are unknowing pawns in a battle between a Russian deserter/terrorist and a Russian spy living in Britain. SAS Ty Dempsey is charged with tracking down the terrorist in Afghanistan and ends up saving Axelle.
You get treks through harsh conditions, gun fights, explosions, and most of all, emotions. Axelle and Ty end up opening themselves to love, whereas others show their true colors to those they "love". I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves suspense.
