Trap N Trace, the fourth book in the Federal K-9 series by Tee O’Fallon, keeps the momentum going with this latest intriguing and captivating installment. From the first paragraph, the suspense and tension grab hold and keep the pages turning until the end.
With a ”Who Done It” storyline that keeps you on the edge of your seat and with an unexpected culprit revealed at the end of a very gratifying rollercoaster ride of uncertainty, this could not have been a more absorbing story.
This ARC book was complimentary…provided by the Publisher and NetGalley. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.
I just absolutely had so much fun and I was so sad to turn the last page. I can’t wait to read more wonderful stories from this author.
I started this series with book four and I wish I had read the first three first. Not that this can't be read as a stand alone, but because I enjoyed it a lot and want more.
I loved the mystery and suspense, the romance and the dog. I think that is what made this book unique is the K-9 aspect.
Looking forward to reading the full series as I immediately added them to my TBR list.
I love this series. Can’t get enough of this authors work. She writes some of the best romantic Suspense books. She definitely knows how to write great characters, plot, setting, and romance. I will definitely be reading more of her work. If you liked the other books in series, then you will most definitely like this one.
Someone is trying to kill one of the richest women in the city. When Kat finds not one but 2 bodies, one of them being a friend. It is up to Dayne to figure out who it is, and keep her safe while doing it. This book is filled with action, romance, suspense, and 2 of the cute dogs.

Another enjoyable book by Tee O’Fallon! Trap N Trace is the story of a mega-rich woman who finds a dead woman when she tries to return the woman’s dog. Now she is the one in danger! And naturally, there is a hunky FBI agent you watch over her.
The story was good, and the characters made it that way. Both were nice people, and that makes a book so much better. The action is paced so that the reader never knows when something dangerous is about to happen. Five stars for such a good book!
I like the story. The reasoning behind the crimes was so real. I enjoyed how Kat's experience opened her eyes to the relationships in her life. Even Dwayne has things to learn and decisions to make to ensure that this relationship had a chance.
I was not a fan of the cursing and sex but I could skip those parts.
I received this book from the Netgalley and the opinions expressed are entirely my own.
An entertaining and well written romantic suspense. A well crafted plot and believable characters. I received an advance ebook from the publisher and this is my unbiased review.
4.5 - I really enjoyed this book and will definitely check the previous books in this series. I loved the chemistry between Dayne and Kat. I also loved the romantic suspense aspect of the book. It is always nice having a side story that is happening at the side of a story especially when it is a mystery. I really like how they made the murderer unpredictable. It was nice being in the investigation alongside them instead of it being the central story. There was the classic break up because Dayne felt that he couldn't fit into her life because of her wealth and because of the compromises they would have to make to be together. The break up was really short though which I appreciated. I will definitely read this again if I need a good romance.
*Thank you Netgalley and Entangled Publishing for a copy of this for an honest review.*
A great heartwarming story between an FBI agent and wealthy socialite Katrina. I loved the book the action, suspense, mystery, the dogs, and how love blossoms between a hard-hearted agent and a woman who just wants to be loved. Both Kat and Dayne are really great persons and easy to love. Together they make a likable beach read.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for NetGalley
What a suspenseful storyline that keeps you guessing! Finding a lost puppy at her shelter, wealthy Katrina researches the owner and on her way home returns it to their owner. This is where things go badly – instead of returning the puppy she finds the owner, a former FBI agent, dead. Taking the puppy home, she realizes she needs supplies from the shelter and later that night when she goes to pick some up, finds another murder except this one is in process! Attacked but not dead, Dayne decides to keep watch of Katrina while they try to find out why both women were killed and what the motive was. As they find out more information, they initially think the killer is after Katrina, which would make somewhat sense because of her wealthy status, but the truth will shock you! I loved the different twists and turns throughout this storyline that kept me guessing not only who the murderer was but also the motive behind it all. And throughout the suspense, Katrina finds the love she always wished for with Dayne, although not without the back and forth and doubts that typically happen. This was my first book from Tee but I absolutely loved it and I will definitely be going back and reading the books previous in the series.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
There something about a pet companion in romance novels, especially when the pet is a talented and is able to help their character. K-9 canines are talented and Rene was no exception . She broke the ice and did what we were hoping we could do in situations that we didn’t like
Her human Dayne was the perfect protector for our heroine Kat. Katrina wasn’t a pushover though. She was one of those people who went above their calling. She used her money for the purpose of good and was doing fine until danger enter her life.
And their paths collided. Dayne was a someone who made lemonade out of lemons. He rose above his beginnings and became a FBI handler. However he hasn’t found the one who made his heart beat until Katrina came into his life .
Their chemistry was obvious and the fast past helped as the two went on their day to day changed by what Kat saw. However there a was big but in this relationship that was hampered by the murderer out there. Their vastly different upbringings and style of life which met they saw life differently. It helped that Kat was such an sweetheart about helping others and wanted to help.
It helped smooth over the hang ups that Dayne had and made this protector fall hard though through this case which was tidy up nicely through some action and suspense. O’Fallen brought this story to life well. There was the right mix of romantic moments and the mystery which allowed for the bond to really be cemented and make sense.
Kat and Dayne were made for each other and it took it sweet time but the rewards were sweet. Rene was the perfect introduction and help to bring them together even if made for some awkward moments. It was easy read and this Federal K – 9 series. is a interesting take on this world
If you haven’t picked up one of O’Fallen books you may be missing out and won’t discover this talented author. With a great hook and reversal of fortune, this story was a thrill from start to finish .
Trap ‘N’ Trace is the fourth book in Tee O’Fallon’s fast-paced and exciting Federal K-9 series, and while I highly recommend reading the entire series from the very beginning; this instalment proves that you can easily enjoy the stories as standalones. Ms Fallon has a smooth ebb and flow to her writing style which enables the reader to follow along nicely and relate to the characters and the storyline too. Great character development, an intriguing plot, furry friends and heart pounding chemistry; what more can a reader want? I’m thoroughly enjoying this romantic suspense series and hope there is much more to come.
To anyone that doesn’t know Kat she may appear to be a privileged princess but that couldn’t be further from the truth. She has a huge heart when it comes to her dog rescue shelter but she has been hurt in the past by people who want her for what she can do for them rather than who she is so she is cautious about those she allows close.
Dayne is an FBI agent whose lifestyle couldn’t be any different from Kat’s and he has no interest in getting involved with someone who is rich and famous. When Kat comes across the murder scene of his friend and former colleague it brings them together especially when it brings peril to her door.
Dayne and his canine partner Remy are tasked with not only solving the case but keeping Kat safe as well. Full of intrigue, surprises and adventure Kat and Dayne may just realize that they aren’t that different after all.
Most of you guys already know I’m a romantic suspense junkie (thank you, Nora Roberts, for spawning my addiction!). So, of course, I was going to read Trap ‘N Trace. I’ve read all of the Federal K-9 series books and have absolutely enjoyed my time in this world that Tee O’Fallon has dreamt up for us. They are all standalone titles, but in addition to being a romantic suspense junkie, I’m a series junkie, so I always recommend all of the books in a series. Even with standalone books, I still think you get a better reading experience when you read them all. But truthfully, that is JUST me and my humble opinion.
NICUnurse’s Rating: I always play this game when I read romantic suspense. I try to figure out the twists and turns and who is the bad guy in each book. The ones that I really enjoy the most are the ones that I can’t figure it out until the climax of the story. Trap ‘N Trace totally won this game as I did NOT see that final twist coming. The breadcrumbs dropped along the way were small enough to keep me following the trail without being able to pinpoint where this story was going to end. Needless to say, it kept me turning the pages and not wanting to put my iPad down, even when I needed to. I loved the conflict between the hero and heroine’s worlds. One is firmly planted in the upper echelon of society (Katrina) and one is firmly rooted in the middle class (Dayne). With such a huge gap in their lives and life experiences, having a relationship work between these two is a huge challenge. If you want to know if they are up to the challenge, you’ll need to read the book! Romantic suspense fans, it’s hard to be disappointed in a book by Tee O’Fallon, so I wholeheartedly recommend this book and all of her Federal K-9 series books…and any of her other books!
I give Trap ‘N Trace by Tee O’Fallon 4 out of 5 stars!
Excellent book! I love this entire series and this one just makes it all the better. Excellent writing gives the story a nice easy flow and the characters are well developed and intriguing. The perfect recipe for a relaxing read. Through in a great dog like Remy and you have a sure winner. Put this one at the top of the tbr pile. I highly recommend it.
How I loved this story!!! And both Katrina and Dayne! But how could you not love a strong woman who has the biggest heart for everyone she meets and runs a doggy rescue or a man who is a sexy, confident, uber protective, ultra suave, alpha male FBI agent with strong ties to his family. It was funny in the beginning how Kat and Dayne misjudged each other, thus surprising one another with their real selves. Both were down to earth, generous, caring creatures. I loved the instant connection they had and how he made her feel safe. After what she went through and was still walking around and able to function. The chemistry between the two, knowing what each other needed and performing it - so sweet! The action in this book is intense along with all the twists. It flowed flawlessly and played like a great movie in my head. I loved it! The ending was perfect and left me wanting more of this wonderful couple!
I received this book in exchange for an honest review from the publisher through Netgalley.
I loved this romantic suspense - both the story line and the characters. Kat and Dayne are strong individuals and I fell in love with both of their dogs. Kat is a mega rich socialite who seems totally out of reach when Dayne first meets her and, now that he’s taken up the job of protecting her from harm while trying to solve the murder of his former FBI teammate, he sees into her very private soul. Both Kat and Dayne find that they’ve made assumptions about the other and are able to look deeper and see what really matters to them. Tee O’Fallon has written a very exciting series in this K-9 Series and she finds topics that combine real life situations with interesting characters that make for great suspense.
I received a free ARC in exchange for my honest opinion of this book. I’m glad to read a story that has great characters and interesting twists and turns.
I've really enjoyed this tale. Action packed from the beginning. I've never read this author before, but was in the mood for romantic suspense. The author delivers a captivating tale that you won't want to put down.
I received a copy for review, but my opinions are my own.
Hot FBI Agent, socialite philanthropist, and cuteness personified doggies! This just hit all my buttons. This triggers all the feels and I defy you not to tear up in places.
Dayne & his K-9 partner are a dynamite team! Katrina could have been a 2D, wealthy socialite with no personality. But not in this series! Kat is strong, independent with a big dollop of naive. She is as shy as she is generous. I've always believed money brings its own problems and Kat? Well, she has more money than Midas.
These two leads worked fantastically together, the chemistry leaped off the page. Kat's little canine rescue pup is just adorable. I loved sorting through all the intricate threads of the story.
