Police Chief Tess O’Rourke’s small town is still reeling from a devastating fire when the FBI asks for help: Could she shelter a witness in a high-profile human trafficking case? Initially reluctant to put the townspeople of Rogue’s Hollow at risk, Tess is swayed after she sees Pastor Oliver Macpherson’s genuine conviction to rescue those in need, a trait in him she’s coming to love more each day.
Tess’s fledgling faith is tested when crews of workmen from out of town come in to assist with the fire cleanup and she worries that one of these strangers might shine a light on things best kept hidden. Neither she nor Oliver knows that Rogue’s Hollow is already home to a suspect from a twenty-five-year-old murder case . . . and someone is taking cold aim at those Tess is sworn to protect.

Summary
Cold Aim by Janice Cantore did not disappoint. Janice is one of my go to authors. I also enjoyed this cover; I didn’t realize Oliver was so cute
Tess is a great character. I have enjoyed seeing her grow through the series. In Cold Aim she is helping the town recover from a devastating fire and trying to protect a federal witness.
The hermit in town was my favorite secondary character in this book. She was tough and prepared. My favorite scene was with her at the women’s shelter. She took charge.
Cantore adds those elements to a book to make it real. The daily struggles of a police officer both at home and on the job. I enjoy the comradery between the fellow officers.
The book has the action and adventure you love in a great suspense novel and the thought provoking elements that you come to expect from Cantore. Do police officers and clergy make a good couple?
I highly recommend the book. It can be read alone but I would recommend the series.
Sexual content - this is not really a romance even tho the feelings between Tess and Oliver are moving forward. He does hug and kiss her and having feelings for her.
Violence - 2.5 Janice does a good job of keeping out the details but human trafficking is sad and disturbing, we have victims of is in this book
I received this book from Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review.
