Above 'N' Beyond is the 7th and final book in the Federal K-9 series by Tee O'Fallon.
I have loved every book in this series and the author has done such a fantastic job closing out the series.

Undercover K-9 agent Jamie Pataaglio is on a dangerous mission, and a personal one.

Not only is he trying to take down a crime family to get his dad out of prison.

As he has infiltrated the family he meets Bella, a member of the Mancuso family. The attraction is isn't and dangerous. He can't tell her who he really is and when she finds out how will she react?

This is such a fantastic book. So much action, romance and suspense.

Above ‘N’ Beyond😍

Above N Beyond is the last book in the Federal K9 series, which makes me sad as I absolutely loved this series❣️Jamie is currently working undercover and has been in a place he can’t wait to leave. Unfortunately, he made a deal with the FBI in order to help a family member. He gets information for them and they help his loved one. However, the one thing he didn’t plan on when going undercover was Bella. She’s beautiful and the co-owner of the Bistro, which is also THE PLACE known to be frequented by her aunt, the head of the Mancuso Mafia😳

Suffice to say this one has it all…danger, intrigue, romance and second chances for family as well as love❤️ A not to be missed story and I look forward to see what else this author has in store for us story wise. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily leave my honest review.

This book was fun! It’s been a while since I’ve read a crime fiction, and thoroughly enjoyed this one.

This is the last book in the series, but works very well as a standalone - I haven’t read any of the others. It’s action packed, plenty of tension between the characters, and the dogs definitely steal the show 🐶 looking forward to exploring the other books in the series!

So grateful that Entangled sent me an eARC of this book 🥰

If someone you love needs you, you do whatever necessary to help. Jamie is doing just that, a job that will get his dad the medical help he needs. This is how he meets Bella, cute restaurant owner that needs his help with her controlling aunt. She’s wrapped up in something beyond her control but his job might help her. His dog, Jax, is a fun tension breaker and her rescue dog is perfect for her. Each guy in this series gets his own story and find love, but they all come together when needed and take out the trash. The men and their dogs work as unique partners. The stories can be read separately or in order. I read an early copy and left this review voluntarily.

Above N Beyond by Tee O’Fallon delivers everything you wanted when you were looking for a romance along with a wonderful dog to love. There is an evil step aunt, heartless mob members, and a hero who is hiding heart-breaking secrets. My only criticism was Jamie’s announcement that he was a bad person. There hadn’t been anything in the story to support his statement. Nevertheless—I loved it.

I received an ARC of this story from NetGalley, and I have to say, although I’m sad the series is ending, this is the perfect way to end it!
Jamie has been somewhat of a mystery throughout the entire series, so getting to see his story, learn his background, and to watch him get his happy ever after is incredibly satisfying.
Bella’s situation will tug on your heartstrings, then again, so will Jamie’s. Even though Jamie is undercover, I love how he can’t help but be a good guy, and the fact that Bella can see it is lovely. Bella is a strong and spunky heroine who was absolutely dealt the crappiest hand when it comes to family, so watching her with the family she built for herself, and the family she gains with Jamie, brings all of the ‘aww’ feels.
And as Ms. O’Fallon is known for, her K-9, Jax, is a starring role in his own right, and the addition of an extra furball brings even more smiles and fun.
An absolutely unputdownable ending to a fantastic 5 star series! Spine-tingling perfection!

4.5 ⭐️ romance, dogs and family make a great story.

Above ‘N’ Beyond is the 7th and final book 😞 in the Federal K9 series featuring Jamie and Jax. I have excitedly been waiting for their story since Tee O’Fallon kept teasing us with glimpses in previous stories in this series. I think Tee did a really awesome job closing out the series with Jamie, Jax and Bella.
This is a K9, mafia, forced proximity trope. With this story, Jamie goes undercover as a working with the FBI to take down a mafia family. As with most Italian families, food is an essential element, along with family and love. Not just the romantic love between Jamie and Bella, but the heart warming love for family.

Bella is sweet, endearing and naive. She has worked hard to build her restaurant and unfortunately had let her Aunt Paulo help set her up and now she won’t let her buy her out. Aunt Paulo and her cousin are using the restaurant for illegal purposes and Bella doesn’t know how to get out of the situation without losing all that she built. It’s not just about her, but her friends that came to work for her at the restaurant. And this new guy Jimmy (aka Jamie) that is hanging around is not helping her situation. He seems nice and helpful, but he is part of her cousin’s crew. So he can’t be trusted.

Jamie is a loner, and if not for Jax, wouldn’t be social at all. He exudes guilt and has spent his adult years trying to make-up for his youth, not realizing his family is there for him along with his fellow K9 officer brethren. He’s got a job to do and can’t let someone like Bella get in his way, even if he thinks she innocent. He can’t develop feelings for her and blow his chance to get his father help. He just can’t help but fall in love with her.
I hope you fall in love with Jamie and Bella like I did. Jax and Gnocchi, the dogs, steal the scenes at times. Lastly, Tee gives us one last goodbye to the whole gang. Maybe Tee will let us see more of them again. 😔

I am so saddened to see this series end. It has been such a joy to read each and every one. Jamie has been undercover for several months as he tries to infiltrate an
Italian mob family. Bella is a part of the Mancuso family and she is trying to separate herself from them. This story answers questions that have been hinted at about
Jamie in previous books. It is a deeply interesting story as Jamie tries to keep his identity hidden while slowly falling in love with Bella. The characters are wonderful and exciting. The plot of the story clear and easy to understand. It is a beautiful story as we watch a family reunited and Jamie and Bella fall hopelessly in love.

Above 'N' Beyond is the final book of the Federal K-9 series and tells the story of Jamie & Bella. I was reluctant to start the book because I knew it was the last one in this much loved series of Tee's. However once I started, I could not stop. This book contains everything that I think of as signature Tee. Lots of action and steamy romance - in addition to K-9 Jax and the very adorable addition of puppy Gnocci. You can feel the conflict between Jax and Bella as they navigate both family and internal struggles as they navigate their way to their HEA. Overall this is a great read and you won't be disappointed. I have purchased or read every single book Tee O'Fallon has written. I am a fan of her work and I can't wait to see what she comes up with next. This was a very emotional end to a favorite series. I highly recommend this book.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I have really enjoyed my time with the Federal K9 Series and I'm sad to see it come to an end. But it does end with a flourish and a worthy hero!

Jamie (aka Jimmy) has gone deep undercover with the FBI to take down a Mafia family. But that's putting him at odds with his new found attraction to Bella, the niece of his target! He went to prison and chummed up with Bella's cousin in order to take down this family - so how can he ensure that innocent Bella doesn't get caught up in the take down?

I really enjoyed seeing both Jamie and Bella struggle with the attraction between them. Bella trying to keep her Bistro and friends and her own feeling for Jamie separate from the mafia dealings of her family. She and Jamie are slow-burn but with intense attraction. The way he acts with his dog, Jax, and the care he takes with the abandoned puppy just seals the deal with Bella.

There are plenty of of things to keep you interested: family squabbles, heartbreaking medical conditions, FBI power plays and political shenanigans. There are plenty of things that illustrate how similar Bella and Jamie are as how they differ.

Perfect amount steam that doesn't get in the way of the plot and a chance to see the previous couples and their doggy companions!

I feel like this book could have been great, I loved the idea but the female main character being so OBSESSED with calories really turned me off from wanting to finish the book. This author just may not be for me.

This series has just blown me away, I am so upset that this is the final story, but what a story!
K-9 Sergeant Jamie Pataglio is as selfless as they come, and the thing is, he has it in his head he’s a bad person. Yes he’s done bad things, but he’s definitely not a bad person. He’s currently in a bit of a pickle, he’s deep undercover, and just as all the pieces start slotting together he goes and falls for the wrong person, or is it the right person? Bella Bianco is sick and tired of her aunt, the Mancusco crime family’s “Godmother “ using Bianca’s restaurant for all the mafia’s dirty dealings, but no matter how hard she tries to ‘clean house’, her aunt and cousin fight back hard, and when their new ‘friend’ joins their ranks she vows to keep her distance, she hates them all. Jimmie ‘The Fist’ Santoro manages to break down her walls, she tries her best to avoid him but he and his adorable dog seem to be everywhere she is. Jamie wasn’t expecting The Godmother’s niece, part owner in the business, to grab his heart, but that’s what happens, and now she’s going to be caught in the crossfire. Lots of action, romance, happy times, sad times, and a whole lot of entertaining drama. Let’s not forget the pooches, Jax and Gnocchi are adorable, they’re so much fun and such a big part of this story. I loved them and I loved their owners. A full five star read for me. I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is my honest review.

I made it to 15% and just couldn't continue. I didn't realize it was part of a series and it was either just not my vibe or not my vibe at this stage.

Great!

This book is another great addition to the Federal K-9 series. This is Bella and Jamie’s (or Jimmy as he’s known for most of the story) edition. Bella is stuck in a bad position, her restaurant that she built with love and hard work, is doing a fantastic business. Her problem is that her aunt, the widow of a reputed mobster, is a majority owner and uses the business for money laundering.

Jimmy is an undercover agent, trying to get his father out of prison by doing a job to finally shut down the crime family. He didn’t expect to catch feelings at the same time, but he’s attracted to Bella, despite the danger it puts them both in.

This book was fast paced, lots of action, some heat and handsome law enforcement officers and their K9 partners. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book, but my opinions are my own.

There is nothing about this book that I don’t love except that it is the end of a series. It has a gasping plot, a dog, wonderful characters, heart pounding intrigue, a dog, prison, mafia, sexual attraction, family sacrifice, and did I say a DOG!!! I could NOT put it down (thanks for my book hangover). It is a good reminder that there are layers to life and people. So worth the money but start at book one.

Loved everything about this book! Had you hooked from the very first chapter to the very end, The author knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time!

The story follows Port Authority K-9 Sergeant, Jamie Pataglio, who infiltrates an Italian mafia group as “The Fist” aka Jimmy Santoro. Jamie is undercover to take down the Mancuso crime family. His motivation to take such a risk —to get his dad out of prison for early parole. After saving Tony Mancuso’s life in prison, Jamie gets into his good graces and receives an invitation to meet up when he got out of prison. Taking his K-9 companion, Jax, alongside with him, he hoped to make a slam dunk case and fast. However, Jamie didn’t anticipate meeting someone as beautiful as Tony’s cousin, Bella and coming to fall in love with her. Bella, raised by her aunt Paola, and mastermind of the Mancuso family, always had the dream of owning her own restaurant. When Paola helps her start her own restaurant, she didn’t anticipate that the motives to help her would go as far as using her and the restaurant for the headquarters to the crime organization. Feeling trapped in her aunt’s workings, she meets Jimmy (aka Jamie), and she had an immediate attraction to him. She tried to resist but fate had other plans.

What started out as getting close to her to find out more information on the Mancuso family, turns into more than just an attraction for Jamie. One that proves to make his undercover position much harder than he anticipated. This action packed book was so well done. There is some foul language and open door scenes but nothing overly graphic. The author does a great job creating such a deep connection in addition to explosive chemistry between Jamie and Bella that have you rooting for their relationship to survive. Their route to happily ever after is not easy and definitely encounters many obstacles but trust me the entire ride is worth it!

Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing, LLC for the advanced reader copy!

There was so much to love about this book. It didn't matter that I hadn't read any others from this series. All the characters are great, especially Jamie and Bella. There were so many complicated dynamics going on throughout the story, with the right mix of suspense and romance.

Talk about ending an excellent, romantic suspense series with a bang--Tee O'Fallon has done just that in Above 'N' Beyond, the 7th and final novel in her Federal K-9 series. It gets 5 stars from this reader.

Jamie is a K-9 Port Authority officer who has been working deep undercover as Jimmy, a felon in a maximum security prison for the past 6 months, planted there and tasked by the FBI to get close to a prisoner, Tony Mancuso, capo of the Mancuso crime family, and he does so by managing to foil a set-up attempt by another inmate to shank Tony, who, thanks to saving Tony's life, gets Jamie/Jimmy into Tony's good graces, and once they are released, Tony brings him to meet his mother, Paola, the real Godmother of the crime family. Paola runs her shady operation through her niece, Bella's popular Italian bistro.

Bella, is indebted to Paola for raising her, and for loaning her some of the money she needed to buy the restaurant, but Bella has been kept in the dark about the financial end of the business, since Paola owns 51% of the restaurant to Bella's 49%. Paola promised Bella that once Bella had enough money to buy her out, Paola would sell her half to Bella--but that's just not happening. When Bella realizes that her bistro is being used to launder mob money, she realizes just how blind she was and that she's been duped, but there's nothing she can do about it.

Enter the newly released ex-con that saved Tony's life in prison, Jamie/Jimmy, a tall, strong, handsome man who is kind to Bella and to the rest of the bistro staff. Bella's hard and fast rule is to never date a made man, although both Tony and his next-in-line crony, Marcus, have tried and failed to woo Bella. It doesn't hurt that Jamie/Jimmy, has Jax, his K-9 companion, or that Bella loves dogs. Jamie still has to prove himself to the family, but even as he does so, his beloved K-9 companion, and his kindness and treatment of Bella and her employees help to win Bella over, but cautiously.

What follows is an action-packed read that kept me turning pages until the wee hours of the morning. Yes, there's violence, but there's also a strong emotional connection between the two main characters, although it does get pretty rocky when Jamie's real identity is established, and Bella realizes she's been used, not just by her mob family, but by Jamie himself. How will it all end? You'll just have to read this exciting, well-written novel for yourself. Since the epilogue includes the other K-9's and their owners who appeared in the first 6 books in the series, I recommend starting at the beginning, and reading these novels in the order they were written--they are all terrific reads.

I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this novel, The opinions expressed are my own.

And the last K-9 agent a.k.a Romeo bites to dust. A story about undercover and deception to save someone's life. Interesting intense read. I loved Jax and Gnocci, the story was okay.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for Netgelly

Above 'N' Beyond is a spectacular romantic suspense by Tee O'Fallon. What a great read! Jamie and his K-9 partner Jax are working undercover as Jimmy Santoro. Bella's family are mobsters but she has her restaurant to run and doesn't appreciate her family using it for their meetings. Their story is loaded with drama, humor, sizzle, action and suspense. I loved every page of this book and look forward to my next book by Tee O'Fallon. Above 'N' Beyond is book 7 of the Federal K-9 Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliffhanger.
