Love this series , it never let me down ,the drama , the action, the Characters themselves from start to finish always has me pulled into the story .

Andi and Nick, first meet while he is serving a search warrant for her best friends' house. Nick has a feeling that she is innocent from the second they meet, also he feels an instant attraction to her. Nick forces his way into being able to work at Andi's bar, so he can keep an eye on her and be around when her friend calls. Since they got to spend more time together their attraction for one another grew. Nick is on the hunt for a major arms dealer with his dog Saxon, after Andy is attacked by someone who they believe is attached to his case, Saxon meets Stray. It seems like the dogs instantly become best friends.

I absolutely love this series, I love how there is actually two story lines in this book and it is made to feel like one. One of the story lines is the case Nick is working on, and the other is who is after Andi? They are so well meshed. I am so glad I found this author and this series. I love the action, the drama, and the romance that these books bring.

Thank you for the copy of Armed and Ready I had to go back and read the first book first.

Andi is staying at a friends house when the police from many different agencies barg in on her bathing her dog. Seems her friend has used her bank account for illegal activity and now she must prove her innocence to unfreeze her accounts. Nick is one of the cops who barged in that day and now he is working as her bartender until they find her friend and he turns himself in to vindicate Andi. In the meantime two attempts have been made on Andis life and to top it all of she is falling for the man who is making her life miserable.

I read the first book Locked and Loaded and loved it as much as this one, can't wait for the next book in this series.

And is framed for a gun running money laundering scheme. Nick is on the case. He goes undercover as the bartender in Andi’s restaurant using Andi as bait to capture her ex-boyfriend money launderer who has skipped to Canada. If you love dogs this is the book for you. Andi owns a dog park and restaurant combo. Her best friend is Stray who, you guessed it, is a stray she thinks she’s going to find a home for. Or will she be unable to give her up? Nick is a K-9 cop whose canine best friend is Saxon. Both are integral to the plot and you’ll come to love them as you will the human characters. The action can be slow and sweet at times but becomes thrilling. There is a small amount of sexy but not graphic.

I would recommend this to my patrons.

O'Fallon gives readers a well-paced suspense story and I really enjoyed seeing how the case played out.  I had no idea where it was going but it was totally believable - nothing came out of left field and felt unconnected to the rest of the story, which is always a plus for this kind of book.

Both characters were really fun and their interactions entertaining.  It's a bit of a slow burn as they have to deal with how she fits into his case, giving them plenty of time to get to know each other (and cause a few sparks along the way).   There was a little bit at the end where I went "uh, ok" with how they reacted to a situation that put their relationship into question but it was a small bump in an otherwise enjoyable read.

Armed 'N' Ready has the perfect blend of love story and action to keep the pages turning.  And some great secondary characters and relationships just for dog lovers :)

(This is the second book in the series, but can easily stand on its own.)

Attention grabbing from page one! With the second book in her Federal K-9 series, Tee O'Fallon brings us another great story that keeps us on our toes throughout. The characters have a rich back story, the setting is exciting and the taboo attraction between them is powerfully compelling. Really enjoyed the story and look forward to more in the series!

Andi Hardt is thrown for a loop when the house that she's spending the night in is raided and she seems to be in the cross-hairs of suspicion just for being there. She gave up the rat race of corporate life a year ago and put all of her hopes and dreams ... not to mention her capital! ... into opening the Dog Park Cafe. She happily spends her days serving people's needs and pampering their pooches at the same time. She doesn't know what this cop guy's problem is, but she's about done putting up with his attitude!

Massachusetts State Police Sgt. Nick Houston is determined to bring this massive gunrunner to justice, and the fact that Andi is somehow involved in it is giving him someone to concentrate his fury on. There's something about her that really catches his attention, but she's knee deep in the middle of this investigation that holds a personal place of importance in his heart. He can't admit that he's attracted to her ... and he certainly can't act on it!

Great book. Well written plot with likable characters. I will be reading more books by this author. My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my ARC. This is my unbiased review.

LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED

This book had everything to keep the reader interested! You had the suspense of what was going on and why the police barged in on Andi when she was bathing her dog. You had the undeniable attraction between Andi and Nick. You had Nick's heartbreaking past. And you had a side romance between some of the other characters.

I found it hard to put this book down and it's been awhile since I've felt that way!

** ARC received from Netgalley **

Massachusetts State Police Sgt. Nick Houston and his K-9, Saxon are in pursuit of a major dealer of illegal guns, which are a trigger for Nick because of the death of his late wife, but his main lead is Andi Hardt. Andi is the owner of the local Dog Park Café, a restaurant catering to dogs as much as people, which is in jeopardy because of the investigation Nick is conducting and the actions of an ex boyfriend. Nick and Andi have major chemistry right off the bat that grows as the story progresses, but is balanced by the hesitancy they've developed from trauma in their past relationships. I liked how the book was a great mix of action, romance, and a bit of humor that moves at a steady pace. Also, there is a fair amount of the dogs stealing the scene, which I liked very much. I really like this series so far.

I received a complementary copy of this book for honest review through NetGalley and the publisher.

Armed N' Ready was a fantastic read. Nice consistent pacing; nothing felt too rushed or too drawn out. The romantic aspects of the story felt realistic and were very enjoyable to read about. The characters were fantastic and while dealing with their own trauma they also had some great character development.

I loved the bits of action in this story as well. I felt like they were well placed and not just there to push the characters together. Totally great story.

After reading Lock 'n Load I was very ready to read on about the tight K-9 officers and there dogs. After Matt, we now meet Nick. He is a tough as nails officer, who has a personal vendetta against people who deal in weapons. He has seen firsthanded how those weapons can be used with devastating results.
When he has a search warrant against a criminal, he (literally) stumbles upon Andi, the criminal's girlfriend. Andi can't believe her bad luck when she is caught redhanded in her ieny-tieny-bikini, while giving her dog a washing in the tub. The gordious hot detective however, is also the culpritt of all her problems right now: he has frozen her accounts since she is a suspect in an investigation.
Barely able to keep her dog cafe afloat, she really dislikes the broody detective. Too bad his dog is very cute. But when her ex-boyfriend is in danger of being killed, she turns to Nick to help him. Can they trust each other? Find out for yourself in this funny, explosive and fastpaced story. Four out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

3.5stars
Nick a K-9 officer is after a gun dealer and finding it leads him to Andi. Andi, who is a dog lover and owner of Dog park Cafe. Nick is prepared for everything to succeed even go undercover at Andi cafe and get more closer to her. To much time spent together leads to the attraction between Nick and Andi to a boiling point. So Andi is shocked when she finds out the truth. Nick has now a new goal to convince Andi that feelings for her are real but will he succeed or will the gun dealer wone? The story was well written, it was without any serious twists and for me, it was more like a story of a case finding the gun dealer and less than the story of Andi and Nick.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for Netgelly

Oh my - I will never look at a k-9 officer the same. The opening scene where Nick serves the warrant will go down as one of the best scenes ever!

Andi and Nick are great together. Tee O-Fallon wrote a funny book full of passion, romance, and danger. I loved it.

Having thoroughly enjoyed reading the first book in this series, Lock 'N' Load, I wondered if this would be as great a read so I requested and was lucky enough to be given a copy of this book, via NetGalley. This is my honest review of the book after choosing to read it - and it definitely is another superb story! It proved to be an enthralling, suspense filled story and a real page turner that I definitely didn't want to put down until everything had been resolved!

The story starts with Andi Hardt giving her dog, Stray, a bath . . . . when the police raid the house she's staying in. Massachusetts State Police Sgt. Nick Houston and his K-9 partner, Saxon, are the ones who discover her - in her string bikini which leaves little to the imagination! Now, many folk would be cowed by such a scenario, but not Andi, who doesn't immediately notice the uniform and acts before she thinks! This is the start of an intriguing romantic suspense where Andi is inadvertently in danger from every side as the secret activities of the owner of the house she was staying in are revealed and photographs of he and Andi together result in her being in the spotlight from all sides.

This is a tense, action packed story with great human and canine characters in a thrilling adventure that I have no hesitation in highly recommending to anyone who enjoys romantic suspense - and even more so to those who appreciate brilliant canine characters having important roles to play, too!

This is a new author for me and I have to say she has earned another huge fan! Great character development and I loved the nod given to K9 officers and thier handlers. Nick is the perfect book boyfriend and Andi is a strong female character who you would want to know in real life. I can't wait for more books in the series. Thankfully because she's a new author for me, I can binge on her other work while in wait for what's next.

The second book in the Federal K-9 series is an exciting and passionate read that catapults readers right into the danger alongside the strong, captivating characters. Nick and Andi has some deliciously sizzling chemistry that readers can practically feel flowing from the pages as the characters send sparks flying in every direction every time they come into contact whether in passion or heated clashes. Andi just wants to keep her dream alive but Nick Houston is determined to bring down an illegal gun dealer down and Andi is his best lead which sets this couple on an emotional roller coaster full of romance, passion, the angst of making life altering choices and facing their desires.

Readers can’t help but become completely enthralled with the story as the fast pace and thrilling suspense keeps readers hanging on to every word throughout Nick’s toughest assignment he’s had to face during his career. This story also has some delightful and charming interactions between the canines of the story further entertaining readers and the author does a great job of making her story convincing and lifelike so readers can easily imagine each and every scene as it happens during this spirited, entertaining and absorbing romance.

Another great story for the Federal K-9 series. Once I started to read the story, I could not stop. I love stories with animals in them, so this story was a win/win for me.

Nick and Andi go through a lot. And I mean A. Lot.
First, he sees her almost naked (in a bikini) washing her dog. This is while he believes she has something to do with criminal activity. Then he uses her. Then.... they become... involved....
Talk about a crazy situation!

I liked this book. I enjoy the chemistry between the two characters and I definitely enjoyed the dogs. :)
This was my first book by this author. I felt it was fine to read on its own even though it appears it is book 2 in this series.

I truly enjoyed this installment in the Federal K-9 series. Andi was easy to understand and know, making me like her from the start. I became invested in Nick immediately as well. I like that the author didn’t go too far into his closed off, determined nature, but rather lightly used that to help understand his past. They made a great couple, even when disagreeing. The people around them rounded out the story and made me wish I was a part of it all…even the dogs seemed familiar. The danger around them built to a wonderful climax, making me read faster and faster, as the sexy romance blossomed. I cannot wait for book 3!

Ah! This book was so incredibly good. I picked it up during my lunch break and could not put it down (Shhh!). Seriously, I was drawn in from the first pages and flipping pages like crazy trying to find out what would happen next.

Andi is staying at her friends' house washing her dog when BAM! Po-Po comes barging in with a ginormous dog. What comes next is Andi finding out her friend has been doing shady business for some time that's led to the increase of gun sales in the state. Now, her bank accounts are frozen and she's having to work with Nick and his dog Saxon, the pair who barged in on her.

The chemistry and relationship between Andi and Nick was off the charts steamy. I really enjoyed the somewhat slow burn their relationship took. They got to know each other before the sexy times were introduced. The sexy scenes were written really well, not rushed and not anything crazy involved.

Armed N' Ready was a fantastic read. Nice consistent pacing; nothing felt too rushed or too drawn out. The romantic aspects of the story felt realistic and were very enjoyable to read about. The characters were fantastic and while dealing with their own trauma they also had some great character development.

I loved the bits of action in this story as well. I felt like they were well placed and not just there to push the characters together. Totally great story.

So happy for these characters and how they ended up and I can't wait to see where this series leads us next.
