Not only the case of the serial killer(s) getting edgier with each new victim, now they are targeting the people in the force and their families, and that puts the tale into another level of intensity.
Deputy Jamie Douglas has a lot on her plate. She’s the guardian of her younger sister who has developmental issues, she is the female deputy of the police force, an avalanche has cut the roads off to the town, and her ex is visiting the town, stuck cause the snow…
Jamie is a tough, capable, caring female lead, she is easy to like and admire. She is doing her best with the situation she is in, and even though her attention is required by many different matters, she is trying to keep a cool head.
With the Ice Cold killer on loose, everyone with skills to investigate are welcomed to help. Nate Hall jumps into the case, and into protecting Jamie and her sister, who seems to be the next target.
I liked how Nate and Jamie work the past hurt and present awkwardness, the feelings they have for each other, and the problems in their personal relations. Nothing comes easy to these two, yet Nate is determined to show Jamie that the seven years apart has changed his focus. He wants to protect her from the killer, yet to respect her as a deputy, he wants to be part of her life again, yet is willing to take the time it takes to win her heart and trust again.
This book – and series – is turning out to be binge-worthy material, easy to immerse yourself into while the hunt for the killers continues. The romance stories capture your heart while the tense suspense, and a case that seems a bit overwhelming at times puts everyone in the small town of Denver on danger.
Heartwarming romance mixed with intense suspense, a winning combo of entertainment for me!

Cold Conspiracy was another great read in this amazing series. It had non stop intrigue, suspense and danger. It has a great cast of characters and a suspenseful storyline. I can’t wait to read the next book.
Very good second chance romance amid the growing challenge of stopping a serial killer. Jamie is the newest deputy in Eagle Mountain. She returned to her hometown when her parents were killed so that she could care for her special needs sister, Donna. She is as determined as the rest of the department to find and stop the killer. Nate also recently returned to Eagle Mountain after seven years away. He is a wildlife officer assisting with the investigation.
Jamie and Nate were a couple in high school, but when Nate left for college he broke off the relationship. He felt that it wasn’t fair to Jamie to tie her to a long-distance relationship, but it broke Jamie’s heart. Older and wiser, Nate would like to renew the relationship, but he can barely get her to talk to him. Jamie is focused on caring for her sister and doing her job. She has no time for a man in her life, and she definitely doesn’t want to give Nate another chance to break her heart.
I liked the rekindling of the relationship between Nate and Jamie. The sparks are still there, even after seven years apart. Jamie is determined to resist, just as Nate is determined to break through her walls. Working on the Ice Cold Killer case throws them together, enabling Nate to work on Jamie’s resistance. I liked how Nate admitted the mistakes he made and tried to show Jamie that he’d changed. It was interesting to see him try to balance his respect for Jamie’s abilities as a deputy with his desire to protect her and keep her safe. Jamie fights hard against risking her heart again, but Nate slowly works his way back into her life. Jamie continues to fight her feelings until a near-tragedy makes her realize that worrying about what might happen keeps her from enjoying the time they had together. I loved the ending and laughed a little at the part that Donna played.
The ongoing mystery of the Ice Cold Killer continued to intensify. The story opened as Jamie discovered yet another victim. It was easy to feel the frustration of law enforcement officials over the lack of clues. Things start to look up as several clues begin to come together. There’s a big break when a potential victim manages to get away and provides some vital information. As the only female in the department, Jamie suggests setting herself up as bait. As they close in on the killer and unexpected twist puts more than just Jamie into danger. The confrontation at the end was terrifying and had me on the edge of my seat until it was over. While it brought a resolution to the immediate problem, there are still questions that are unanswered. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.
I loved the relationship between Jamie and Donna. There is no doubt about the love they have for each other. Jamie struggles with the realization that Donna is an adult and that she has to learn to let go a little bit. Donna’s friendship with Henry was sweet and I loved the two of them together.
