Who can turn down a story with a dog? Great cover and aptly named story. My first by this author and it was definitely suspenseful.
Laia gets stuck in an elevator with Kade and sparks fly. Then immediately after she is introduced to Kade as his brother's fiancé. The book dives into a tumultuous whirlwind but the book is mostly about Kade and Laia.
I received a complimentary copy to read and voluntarily left this opinion. Three and a half stars!

Honor 'N' Duty is the sixth book in Tee O'Fallon’s Federal K-9 series and sure to have readers clamouring for more! Packed with action, suspense, K-9’s you can’t help but adore, and the added bonus of some off the charts passion and intense chemistry; what more could a reader want? The author writes realistic characters that have imperfections and emotional scars which form their cautious and guarded view on relationships. She also ensures that the plot is easy to follow, has a believable timeline and all the elements of a great story. Ms O’Fallon is on my ‘Must Read’ list with this powerful and engaging series, and I can’t wait to see what she delivers next!

What a great read. Loved the interaction between the two main characters. Kade goes to meet his brother at the bank his is the manager of. Kade meets his brother's future wife inside the elevator and is smitten right away. What does not know is that the two both feel the connection - but she feels trapped into marring Kade's brother due to she is pregnant.

Flash forward almost six years and Laila finds herself calling Kade to help her after her place is trashed by someone. What she does not know is that the man who had her husband killed is looking for the bank ledger, plus $ 20 million Josh skimmed from the drug lord.. All Lila cars about is keeping her daughter safe and happy.

Kade and his drug sniffing police dog, Smoke, love Rosa to the moon and back and would do anything to keep her safe.

Kade has always been by the book Military and DHS officer, but when it comes to family he will break everyone of the rules to keep Lila and Rosa safe.

Lots of action and exactment. I did not want to put the book down.

A well written perfectly paced story pulling you in from the start. There was enough action and characters to carry this story along with no problem. I loved how it felt like everyone was my friend or next door neighbor, true to life people. You felt the pain Kade went through when his secrets he had to keep were finally out. Laia went through a lot also but became stronger in the end. A great series to pick up.

This is how I get my doggie fix!

DHS K9 handler, Kade Sampson, pretty much fell in love with Laia at first sight. There was just something about her that lit him up. But he soon found out that he was going to have to quash that flame - Laia was engaged to his brother!

Fast forward a few years and Kade has kept Laia as far from him as possible but managed to maintain a relationship with his niece, Rosa. His brother may have ended up on the wrong side of the law but Kade never wanted him to die the way he did. When Laia contacts him for help, he drops everything to come to their aid.

I loved the tension between Laia and Kade. They both felt the flames of passion but Laia was in an impossible situation and Kade had too much honour to dismantle his brother's dreams. I enjoyed the way that Kade and Rosa had their own little uncle/niece in-jokes and the bond between them was strong. Laia and Kade were both guilty of miscommunication and over-reacting

Quick-paced, taut with tension and a heap of smexy passion. One particular midnight swim left me breathless! Bonus with this book is getting to meet all the previous MMC's and most of their K9's. I did guess the hiding place of the ledger before the MC's - Yay me!!!

I received an ARC via NetGalley and this is my honest and voluntary review.

Honor n Duty

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is Kade Sampsons story, 6th book in the Federal K-9 series. DONT YOU WORRY starting with this book won’t mess anything up! This is the first book I read in the series and I’m hooked!

Reading Kade and Laias story was a rollercoaster of emotions. Beginning, middle and end you will be struggling to put the book down. Rosa and Kades K-9 Smoke add just the right amount of humor to all of the sexual tension you can feel during the story between Kade and Laia.

All I can say is AMAZING quick read!

This is the second book I've read by Tee O'Fallon. I enjoyed it and was flustered when any interruption came my way. I didn't want to put it down.. At first I dreaded what looked like may be a triangle. Not a triangle romance, thankfully. It was a heartbreaking storyline where I became completely invested in the characters. My heart squeezed at times. I smiled, laughed, and held by breath at other times. We get a wonderful HEA as well as with a nugget about the next book possibly? I'm definitely looking forward to her next book!

Thank you NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for the ARC of this book. This is my voluntary and honest review.

Love this series and Kade and Laia. Kade and Laia ignore their attraction with each feeling it’s their duty. Yet Kade is extremely protective of his sister-in-law and niece. The storyline was good and Ms. O’Fallon writes what this reader wants, intrigue, great storyline, and romance.

DHS Officer Kade Sampson had to arrest his brother a few years ago with devastating results. Guilt for doing that and his personal feelings have kept him away from his sister in law. Now she needs him. His K9 partner and himself will do anything to protect her and her daughter from harm.

Laia Velez has proved her independence, and provides a stable and happy home for her daughter. After losing everything else it has been a struggle. Now however she needs help because some very dangerous people could be after her.

This is an action packed and emotional romantic suspense. Our characters have a mystery to solve if they ever hope to be safe. The world of the K9 officers is a loyal one, even when they work for different branches of law enforcement. This series will see several of them pulling together when it's most needed.

A very exciting story.

I loved it.

Another gripping adventure in the K-9 corps from Tee O’Fallon
One thing I like best about an O’Fallon book is that it captivates the reader immediately. You know from the Prologue that you’re in for a true adventure. Just which way will the author take the reader this time?
Former Army Ranger and now Department of Homeland Security Officer Kade Sampson has been in love with his sister-in-law since they first met in an elevator. After tragic circumstances will he have a second chance? Not before Laia and his niece Rosa have some harrowing experiences. This is a must read if you like page turners with lots of passion with some steam. Maybe scary moments thrown in for good measure! I volunteered to review an ARC of this book through Entangled/NetGalley.

Kade Sampson is a Homeland Security K-9 officer. Two years ago his brother was murdered in prison - leaving behind a wife and young daughter. Laia and Kade share a history that goes beyond being brother and sister-in-law. They shared a very special 40 minutes trapped in an elevator just before Kade's brother announced that he was engaged to Laia. For Kade, at least, it was love at first sight. After the wedding, Kade stayed as far away from Laia as possible - knowing he couldn't keep his feelings to himself. Even after his brother's arrest and death - he stayed away. But when Laia calls him for help - everything changes.

I honestly can't get enough of Tee O'Fallon's K-9 series. I love how the dogs in these books are just as much a character as any of the humans. Kade's K-9, Smoke, is a seriously awesome dog and the connection between Smoke and Kade's niece is particularly adorable.

Overall - I loved this story and look forward to continuing the series.

I received this as an ARC via NetGalley but these opinions are all my own.

What first got me want to read this book was the dog on the cover and it being a Federal K-9 series. Thought it sounded interesting and still included some romantic suspense so I had to read it. It sucked me in right away. The hot alpha male, a dog, and suspense drew me in and I couldn't put it down till I figured it out. It gave me all the feels, and a couple of time I just shook my my head at the the leading female character , like COME ON! But I ended up loving her fiesty and strong chracter and the connection she had with Kade. It has suspense,romance, and a dog what more could you want?!

All around amazing story! Laia and her brother-in-law, Kade, met before she was married briefly in an elevator. There was definite chemistry, but Laia was already going to marry Kade’s brother, Josh. Of course that was all before Josh broke laws by being the bookkeeper for a drug lord. Chaos ensues after Josh is killed. But K-9 Smoke and DHS agent Kade help Laia navigate through the chaos to the HEA. Loved the epilogue!

This is a Romantic Suspense, and this is the sixth book in the Federal K-9 series. I had not read any of the other books in the series. The beginning of this book was slow to pull me into the storyline, but I think it was because I had not read the other books in this series. I do think this is one of those series you need to read in order to get the most for the series. I did put everything together, but it took a little bit. I did fall in love with the characters of this book, and I loved all the action/suspense in this book. There were some really steamy times in this book. The little girl and the k-9 dogs in this book were just so cute and I love them so much. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Entangled) or author (Tee O'Fallon) via NetGalley, so I can give an honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

Romantic suspense books were my first real love in the romance genre a very long time ago. I love this series by Tee O’Fallon. It’s got a little bit of everything. Suspense. Action. A clicking time clock. A deep emotional pull. Twists and turns. Solid romance. The characters are fully fleshed out as if the could step off the page. The writing was good. This story kept me hooked from the first page until the last. Great read! Huge thanks to Entangled Publishing and Netgalley for allowing me to read and review this book!!

Kade, former military and a part of Homeland Security K-9 unit, has lived with the guilt of arresting his brother. Now it’s been two years since his brother was killed in prison. He has kept up on his brother’s widow Laia and his niece Rosa. He stayed away from Laia because he’s been in love with her since he met her in an elevator.
Laia is a single mom working and studying at night to become a veterinarian. Her husband was jailed for laundering money for a drug cartel. The government took everything from them and she was forced to move into a tiny apartment. When her apartment is broken in to, she calls Kade. Even though she thinks it’s a mistake, she has no one else to turn too. When secrets are revealed, can they forgive each other?

I loved this story. You have action, suspense and sex. Two people who should have been together from the very first. This story will keep you on the edge of your seat. I got so lost in the story, I had read most of it that day. You will not regret reading this story.

I love romantic suspense and O'Fallon is one of the best at it.
Her books always draw me in. They are suspenseful, romantic and full of non-stop action. Each book in this series is a standalone.
This time around we have angst, forbidden love, second chance, dealing with past trauma/guilt and a great K-9 partner.
Laia and Kade were so captivating. I kept anticipating their scenes together. There was just so much history between the two that it made their dynamic fiery and emotional. Their chemistry was quite steamy too!
The plot concluded in a satisfying way and the pacing here worked.
Would recommend to fellow romantic suspense and angst lovers!

HOLY SMOKES!!!! And I’m not just talking about Kade’s K9 Smoke, the plot, the steam, the suspense and the main characters, Kade, Laia, Rosa and Smoke. Kade is Laia’s brother in law and from the moment he met her, he couldn’t stop thinking about her. Now six years later, after marrying his now deceased brother, he has stayed away from her but not his niece in the last five years. Laia calls him when her house is broken into and she will do anything to protect her daughter, even rely on Kade after ghosting her for years but she needs help and protection as the cartel suspected of murdering her husband, will stop at nothing to get what they want. Now Kade has to keep his feelings that are still strong after so many years….or does he and does Laia feel the same way about him….read and find out.
I LOVED this read, Kade was very swoon and sign worthy, strong, protective, amazing with Rosa, loyal and knew his feelings and was not confused by them. Laia was an amazing mom and what she went through and was feeling towards Kade….OH BOY!! Not only was the steam, passion, fireworks between these two, the story flowed beautifully with amazing characters all around and with the added suspense, twists and turns and surprises….HOLY SMOKES & so WORTH IT!!!

honor 'N' Duty is the sixth book in this amazing series. It pulled me in from the beginning and kept me riveted until the end. It is another fast-paced, suspenseful read with wonderful characters. Kade and Laia were a wonderful couple with sizzling hot chemistry. I loved Smoke along with all of the other K-9's in this amazing series. I can't wait to read the next book.
