I loved the chemistry between Evan and Marlie! Both of these characters were carrying around guilt and grief and they understood each other’s pain in ways they didn’t expect. Evan was so thoughtful and sweet with her. Noah was so brave and funny and I loved the relationships he built with Marlie, Evan and Blue.

One of my favorite parts was K-9 Blue having his own side romance story!!! I also loved the relationships on the team and there is some very good banter in the book.

The last 1/4 of the book is all suspense! I definitely had a hard putting it down!

Sweet K9 dog, smexy fbi mmc... Be still my heart... Throw in the fact that he's trying to save kids and... If I didn't already have a ring on my finger, Evan would be everything I want in a real man.

And Marlie, sweet Marlie, absolutely deserves him.

The action, the plot, the characters... I look forward to finding and reading every book ever written by this author!

Holy K-9, this was an amazing story! Evan and Marlie join forces (with Noah) to bring down a kidnapping and illegal cannabis camp. Edge of my seat, with plenty of banter and suspense. And the ending!! Wow.

Tee O'Fallon's Ultimate Justice delivers a gripping tale of suspense and romance that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. The story revolves around FBI agent Evan McGarry, whose search for an escaped felon leads to a shocking discovery: a ring linked to missing children, including his own sister.

O'Fallon's expertise in law enforcement is evident in the realistic portrayal of the investigation. The author masterfully crafts a suspenseful plot filled with twists and turns, keeping readers guessing until the very end. The characters are well-developed and relatable, with Evan's emotional journey as he grapples with his sister's disappearance being particularly poignant.

The romance between Evan and Marlie Foxe adds a compelling layer to the story. Their connection is both intense and believable, and their shared secrets create a sense of tension and intrigue. The inclusion of Evan's K-9 partner, Blue, adds a touch of heart and humor to the narrative.

If you're a fan of suspenseful thrillers with a dash of romance, Ultimate Justice is a must-read. O'Fallon's writing is engaging and the story is well-paced, making it difficult to put down.

In perfect Tee O’Fallon fashion it was fantastic. Just fast paced and kept me on the edge of my seat. I always love her books because they hook me from the start and this was no exception.

During the pursuit of an escaped felon, FBI agent Evan McGarry, along with his K-9 partner, Blue, discover a ring with links to missing children. This includes Evan's own sister, who disappeared more than 20 years ago and has haunted him ever since.
Evan's investigation involves interviewing a frightened young boy named Noah. The person Noah trusts most is a janitor at the hospital, Marlie Foxe. The connection between Evan and Marlie is electric, but they both realize the other is hiding secrets.

Evan's investigation leads to a cult targeting runaways. There's a ticking clock as he fears they may pull up stakes and disappear. Noah is in danger as long as he holds information that would lead to the dangerous criminals. Evan needs Marlie's help with Noah if he is to get answers. Time is running out for Evan and the children, and his powerful attraction to Marlie isn't making things any easier.

Ultimate Justice is romantic suspense done right! It has great characters, a riveting plot, and sizzling romance. Tee O'Fallon's law enforcement background shines through in the realistic and suspenseful plot. The characters feel authentic, including the dogs. The story moves at a brisk pace that will keep the pages flying. The connection formed with the well-rounded characters makes their peril, both physical and emotional, even more impactful. This story works on every level. If you love suspense, if you love romance, or even if you love dogs, you're going to enjoy this book. This is the third in the K-9 Special Ops series, but it works fine as a stand-alone. In fact, just meeting the supporting characters who star in the first two books makes you want to read all of them.

This is one of my favorite books of the year and Tee O'Fallon is an author to seek out.

I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher.

FBI Special Agent Evan McGarry and his K-9, Blue, discover Noah, a missing 11-year-old boy, while working on an unrelated case. While Noah is hospitalized, he becomes close to hospital custodian Marlie Foxe. When Evan tries to get information about other missing children from Noah, he’ll only cooperate if Marlie is involved. Evan and Marlie form an unlikely alliance in the pursuit of those guilty of targeting runaways mainly based on clues Noah has been able to provide from his own abduction.

Grief, guilt, hope, twists, turns, new beginnings, and so much more!

3,75 Stars rounded up to 4 for this review. This was a fast-paced, enthralling book. It kept me hooked from the very beginning. It is hard to read about child abduction and death, but it was handled very well by the author. I'm also a sucker for an animal in the book so the K-9 Blue was my favorite part. This was my first book by Tee O-Fallon, but I was able to enjoy it without having read the previous books. I would absolutely recommend this to people, especially those who like police/agent-type stories. In fact, I already told my mom she should check out Tee O'Fallon's books!

4.25/5 stars! This is the third entry in the K-9 Special Ops series. I love that author Tee O'Fallon chooses a different K-9 partner to follow each book, so romance can be a focus of the storyline. Cold cases are notoriously difficult to bring to life, but the author does it with ease. Adding a cult aspect and I was hooked.

I have been a fan of this series since the beginning and I will say , not surprisingly, Tee has kept each book fresh and always exciting. This book tugged at my heart more given what our FBI agent Evan’s job is. Marlie feels the loss of her son and they are brought together to work on a group of missing children and find an attraction they can’t deny. There are a few surprises along the way, keeping us on your toes.

I say it every time, but it bears repeating, she is the one of maybe three authors I trust to put a dog on the cover of a book! 😂

This was a solid romantic suspense book, and I've been waiting for Evan's story since book one! I will say that this one felt a little darker and harder to swallow than the others (for me personally), but I think that's because of the nature of the content. Obviously I don't read romantic suspense looking for a light-hearted read, but this one was just a little tougher to get lost in. If you're someone who needs content warnings, I think they're absolutely worth looking into! Also, there were a few phrasing choices that took me right out (true that), but all in all I enjoyed it!

I won't say what it's in reference to, but there was a big reveal at the end and I KNEW IT!!! I'm also not sure how I feel about that other last little reveal at the end, but that's ok! I think it's just because it's such a heavy topic, if it was going to be a plot point I wanted it to be given more time than a few paragraphs in the epilogue, you know? And I love Even and I know he was going through it, but I really needed more of a grovel from him at the end!

I know it might sound like I'm being critical, but I swear I did enjoy this story! The pacing was solid and it kept me reading, Evan and Marlie had decent chemistry, and it's fun seeing all of the characters from previous books! The last 25% was so intense and cinematic, it was incredibly done! And of course, Blue absolutely stole the show for me!

I can't wait to see what she writes next!

My very first book I had ever read of Tee O'Fallon was the very first book of this three book series, Tough Justice, and from that book, I was hooked and knew without a doubt I was going to see this series all the way through!! I love that all the details and the loops the author gives you to help readers understand that solving a crime or getting warrants etc, don't always happen as nicely as in the movies or tv shows. She brings authenticity and a realness in a basic understanding how various government task forces work and operate.

I have been PATIENTLY waiting for Evan's story and boy this one did NOT disappoint!! I would say their relationship falls under the instalove category of romantic suspense genre BUT there is depth and personal connection through life's experiences between the two as the story progresses that really affirm that these two were meant for each other. Both suffered a loss, and how to each coped differently and how to overcome the baggage they carry. I REALLY like Marlie and her character development throughout this book. I would truly love to be her friend. She's fierce, intelligent, loyal, and perceptive. Evan.....well he not only physically is swoon worthy but he's loyal, hardworking, protective, sensitive and kind.

This book will take you on an emotional rollercoaster.....whether the through the action or through the romance journey. Tee O'Fallon knows how to captivate readers and keep them engaged throughout the entire story. This story brings ALL the feels so be ready!! So many perfectly placed twists and turns that will have you wanting to finish no matter the sleep loss it may cause! Plus who doesn't LOVE K-9 animals?? I loved Blue and Crystal's doggie love. <3 I am always grateful for when author's add an epilogue in that brings closure and a happy ending :)

Last comments/opinions -- the book does focus on child abductions and loss which may be a trigger to some. There is some language but fairly mild compared to some books I have read. I'd prefer not to have profanity especially the f-word. With all that to say, I do realize that in law enforcement field, you will find that kind of language so I appreciate the author giving a sense of realness - as if you are truly in side the minds of the characters and how they operate, etc. without being too excessive. On a different note, the intimate scenes were not overly graphic but not closed door (there are some explicit details given). I appreciate that crude words or terminology were not used here, and that the intimacy was something deeper for the characters and their connection to each other as their romance blossomed. Storyline/plot/characters -- 5 Stars ....so good I was able to overlook my little constructive feedback/opinion.

Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for the advanced copy of the book. All my thoughts and opinions are all my own.

Ultimate Justice is a great edition to this series. Marlie and Evan's struggle with loss and the way they each deal with it is so unique but also complementary. I really enjoyed the relationships that were built between the characters and definitely didn't see the one of the final twists. While Marlie and Evan's relationship does suffer some from instalove I can at least appreciate the way that O'Fallon made this part of the story and still made the fast paced nature of their relationship believable. I would have loved to learn more about Marlie's loss and see how it contrasted at times with the present and even when Noah disappeared but overall the story was engaging and fast paced and a true joy to read.

I received an advance reader's copy of Ultimate Justice by Tee O'Fallon from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was not the first book by Tee O'Fallon that I've read and I have never been disappointed so I went in with high hopes. Happily, the positive track record continued with another fantastic book!

Overall, I felt this was a solid romance and I found it to be well written. I liked the chemistry between the main characters, FBI Special Agent Evan McGarry and hospital worker Marlie Foxe. I was hooked on this couple from their first meeting, all the way to the end of the novel. The action was steady and the romance was evenly paced. Add in the fact that a K-9, Blue, is a main part of the plot and this was a quick, fun read.

Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy it!

I’m have always been a sucker for romantic suspense but add in the tortured souls that heal each other and it becomes a *chefs kiss* masterpiece.

I love how both characters get the dive into both their backgrounds to give insight to the why of their personalities.

This is my first book by this author and I will definitely be checking out more.

This was my first book with author Tee O’Fallon and definitely will not be my last! This book was explosive from the very beginning and kept me entrenched throughout the rest of the story. Loved the interaction of Marlin and Evan! You will be entertained!

One of the reasons I love this author’s stories is because of the male lead characters she creates. Strong, fearless, protective, loving, funny, kind, sexy, hot. You name it, they are drool-worthy.

O’Fallon develops amazing characters who are strong and tender but protective as hell. She doesn’t shy away from tough topics but cushions with awesome K-9 partners with wonderful personalities. O’Fallon also ties us up emotionally with passion and heat. The book is the icing!

Ultimate Justice is the last book in this series of three sadly. I think I am addicted to her storytelling abilities. I did not want this to end! Shed a few tears with this ending! OMG

If you haven’t read a book by her yet, what are you waiting for? Perfect for the romantic suspense, police procedural crime junky.

Another good story in the Special Ops Series. This one was hard to put down and it was very suspenseful and chilling at times. Loved it! Marlie had a tragedy in her past that she is trying to recover from by just moving forward and the most mundane job she could find. However she ends up befriending a young child who comes in the hospital she is working at and he immediately bonds with her and won't speak to anyone but her. Evan a special agent for the FBI needs vital information from Noah and he knows the only way to get that is by using Marlie. These two are very attracted to each other but she needs to be able to get past her problems and Evan has alot of baggage from his past before that can happen. Very good story from the start.
