Cold Light (Iron Heretics MC Prequels Book 1) Kindle Edition
Arden spends his nights dancing on stage at Spritz, one of St. Louis’s hottest night clubs, and waiting for Lex to pass back through town. After being orphaned young, he fears letting himself get too attached to the distant, bearded Lex, even after three years of inviting the man into his bed.
When Lex finds himself with a price on his head, he unknowingly pulls Arden into the darkness with him. When things aren’t what they seem, and enemies abound, will they find themselves still standing together in the cold light of day?

- Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2022I enjoyed this story. Part 1 of this series makes much better sense if this book is read first. Arden and Lex are great. Lex's dad Jeb and Kade would make an interesting read. There's action, danger, heist mystery, and men just loving each other. I'd recommend this story and series.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2019Strippers, motorcycle clubs, and assassins – everything I love in dark romances and what was delivered in Cold Light. The book, as part of the Criminal Delights series, had a dark, edgy undertone. Lex, an assassin and part of a motorcycle club, lives a dangerous life and lonely life. Arden, a stripper, is Lex’s one weakness. Their relationship started off as an arrangement, but has transformed into something deeper, something more. When Arden’s life is in danger, Lex grabs him and goes on the run. The protective, dominant energy Lex has, coupled with Arden’s sexy, sizzling grace, was absolutely delicious. The sex scenes were hot and enjoyable to read. I loved the relationship between Lex and Arden, and I would love to read a sequel to this book.
Overall Rating: 4 Stars. This was a very quick read and I would have liked a little more development of the relationship between Lex and Arden, and a little more plot. The writing was great and I devoured this book with gusto. I definitely recommend it.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2022Well written story and well developed characters! This group of friends and motorcycles are so bad and sexy! I can't wait to read the next one!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2020The book attracts me with two very different men, an assassin and a bar dancer who were bonded together through a life and death event with love and passion for each other. I enjoyed the read, right amount of intensity, balanced heat, storyline move at right pace, a great book to start a new series for the author. I can’t wait to read move about other couples that were introduced by the author. Hope she will write about them.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2024Well I've officially found a new series to read. I've never really been a big fan of biker books, motorcycle club whatever, but I really enjoyed this little prequel, and it's got me wanting more of the books. I recommend 100%
- Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2019Cold Light was definitely a read out of my comfort zone in terms of their professions - assassin and prostitute. But I enjoyed reading about Lex and Arden though have a hard journey to developing a lasting relationship. Lex was growly and a bada**, but with Arden he's gentle and I happen to love that type of hero. Arden has had a really hard life but he's stayed upbeat and optimistic despite it all.
There's a lot packed into this story between Arden and Lex hiding from a contracted hit, the MC Lex's father runs, and the secrets in Arden's past. I wanted to explore those aspects more but overall it was detailed enough. I do wish there had been more of Arden and Lex learning about each other since its such a huge part of their initial problems after Lex is forced to reveal who he really is. Otherwise a good read.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2021Loved this book, I think I read the series before I found the prequels enjoyed them all. Michelle knows how to draw you in and keep you there, Great Writer’s Book! Great couple,cute couple I love it when an assassin finds love ❤️
- Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2021A good book. I enjoyed it start to finish. This is the first in all of the series. Start with this book even if the authors’ other series say “book #1”.

5.0 out of 5 stars cold light
Having read the MC series I somehow missed this book. It was good to see Lex and Arden’s story. I do Hope we will see more from this world one day. I’d love to see more of Jeb and Kade.

4.0 out of 5 stars loved it
Really loved this book, but author, when writing your story and choosing your cover for your book, please let it align. “He (Lex) was so beautiful. Not overly muscular, but solid.” Not overly muscular? Yeah, that doesn’t match with the cover. But loved the story nonetheless.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some MC, but lots of action
The MC Club is secondary, r even less, in the initial part of the storyline, but comes in a bit later, and in full force. The almost unexpected twists, the action both as attacks and as steam, and the cute core of the hardened-to-life characters makes for a book almost impossible to put down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Toll
Das war wirklich ein tolles Buch. Ich bin zugegebenermaßen eher durch Zufall auf die Iron Heretics MC gestoßen, da ich das Buch “Make Snow Mistake“ von Michelle Frost gelesen habe und darin der Verweis auf unter anderem dieses Buch vorkam. Hat mich wirklich nicht enttäuscht, super spannend und Arden & Lex sind wirklich ein süßes Paar, müssen allerdings auch einiges aushalten. Ich hoffe auf noch mehr Bücher der Reihe, das wäre wirklich schön.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!
I read this as a stand alone and thoroughly enjoyed it! I have read works by this author previously, but this might just be my favourite.
The characters were well developed, likeable and intriguing. I couldn't help but love Arden, and seeing a softer side to Lex when they were together. The supporting characters were well written too.
The storyline was interesting and engaging. I found it well paced and loved the few little twists.
I would definitely recommend this book, and would be interested in reading more about the Heretics MC, so will be keeping an eye out for more in that world by this author.
