Blue and Evan are true FBI partners whose primary job is to find missing children. From the beginning of the story you will be glued to the pages just like I was as they look for clues of who is pulling the strings. I personally loved Noah’s character as he brings a smile to everyones face.

First I would like to thank Entangled Publishing, LLC for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

What I loved about this book:
- Blue, Evan's K-9 partner is not only looking after Evan but also takes Marlie and Noah under his care with is just the cutest
- Marlie, after having her life turned upside down she completely removes herself from the normal world until she meets Noah and cannot deny her instincts to help and come out of her shell
- Evan, he has been burdened by his sister's kidnapping for most of his life and makes him a great agent but when forced to get out of his agent mindset he is a great guy who cares deeply for Marlie and Noah
- Culprit, I am a huge romantic suspense reader and I had an inkling as to who the "bad guys" were but when it was finally revealed I was still a bit surprised as to the why

If you are looking for a great romantic suspense book with a lot of action, romance, amazing characters and K-9 partner then please check this book out.

Tee O'Fallon has once again successfully combined action, tension, investigations, and outstanding characterization in the third installment of the K-9 Special Ops romantic suspense series, as the incorporation of K-9 units invariably adds an extra layer of excitement. Ultimate Justice centers around FBI Special Agent Evan McGarry, his trusted canine partner K-9 Blue, and hospital custodian Marlie Foxe, who proves that even individuals in seemingly ordinary professions can possess extraordinary courage. While Evan and Blue are engaged in pursuing an escaped convict, they inadvertently stumble upon a crucial lead regarding the whereabouts of dozens of missing children, including Evan's sister, who has been missing for over two decades, thereby reactivating a long-dormant cold case. Marlie Foxe's life was irreparably altered three years prior, and she is now focused on making ends meet as a hospital custodian. However, when one of the missing boys becomes a patient at the hospital, he refuses to communicate with anyone except Marlie, who has a unique ability to connect with children. Evan requires Marlie's assistance in locating additional missing children, and she eventually agrees to collaborate with him. The author has done an exemplary job in crafting the characters, as Evan is portrayed as an intense, thoughtful, protective, and patient individual, particularly when interacting with children. Marlie, on the other hand, is depicted as a lonely, melancholic, and anxious person, yet simultaneously kind, understanding, and adept at relating to children. The chemistry between Evan and Marlie is palpable, and their slow-burning romance is expertly woven throughout the narrative, making it a compelling and engaging read. The inclusion of characters from the previous two installments in the series serves as a pleasant reminder of the overarching storyline, much like reconnecting with old acquaintances. The opening scene of the book is both poignant and captivating, immediately drawing the reader into the narrative and fostering a deep investment in the characters' journeys. The author skillfully crafts suspense throughout the novel, expertly engaging readers and immersing them in the characters' lives. The seamless integration of suspense, danger, action, and intense moments creates a narrative that is both gripping and unpredictable. The world-building is exemplary, allowing readers to effortlessly visualize the settings and become fully immersed in the story. The plot is replete with meticulous investigations, strategic planning, and high-stakes action sequences, culminating in a thrilling game of cat and mouse. This expertly crafted blend of investigation, planning, romance, and action ensures a captivating narrative that maintains readers' attention throughout. The author's incorporation of relationship dynamics and humor serves as a thoughtful counterbalance to the more disturbing and intense aspects of the story. Overall, the narrative is engaging, suspenseful, and expertly paced, making it a truly unforgettable reading experience. For fans of romantic suspense with strong male and female protagonists, this series is highly recommended. I eagerly anticipate Tee O'Fallon's future literary endeavors, as her writing has undoubtedly left a lasting impression.

Ultimate Justice is the final book in the K-9 Special Ops series, and it delivers a satisfying conclusion to a gripping and emotional journey. This novel blends mystery, suspense, and romance, all while showcasing the power of healing and justice.

The story follows Marlie, a former school counselor who now works as a hospital custodian, hiding from her past traumas. While on the job, she meets Noah, a 10-year-old boy who was rescued from a child kidnapping ring. They form an immediate and heartwarming bond, as both have faced their share of hardships. Meanwhile, Evan, a determined investigator, is working on breaking the case. He’s assisted by his highly trained K-9 partner, Blue, and is haunted by his own past—his missing twin sister.

As Marlie and Evan find themselves thrown together in the pursuit of justice, they must also confront their personal traumas. With the help of Noah and Blue, the two begin to break down the walls they’ve built around their hearts. Noah, despite his painful past, becomes a matchmaker of sorts, unknowingly guiding Marlie and Evan toward a future neither expected.
Thank you to NetGalley for this free advanced copy. I am leaving this review voluntarily

I'm a big fan of stories that can incorporate our furry friends, and this series is one that does a great job of including the K-9 agents in a meaningful way, but there's always a good crime that needs solving too. In Ultimate Justice, that crime is extremely personal for Agent Evan McGarry.

This is a story about missing children and at times it really pulled on this reader's heartstrings. Evan's love interest has a sad story of her own, and their common ground make it easy for them to fall for each other. It's not always smooth sailing for them either.

There's plenty of action, which I love in a romance, and appearances from all the previous agents and their ladies which always makes for a nice series in my opinion. I did love this story and this couple. There's plenty of heat there too.

I just loved everything about this one. Sweet romance between two damaged people in need of love, plenty of action and HEAs all around.

This book was a whirlwind of romantic suspense that kept me hooked from start to finish! The fast-paced action had my heart racing, and the steamy moments added just the right amount of heat to balance the chaos. I loved how the tension between the characters mirrored the high-stakes plot, making every twist and turn feel even more intense. If you’re into romance with an edge of danger and nonstop thrills, this one’s a must-read!

I would have preferred more of the investigative aspect and less of the insta-love but overall a decent romance book.

ULTIMATE JUSTICE will have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. If you enjoy strong men and women who fight the good fight for the innocent, then this is the one you need to get your hands on

A gripping romantic suspense with intense action and emotional depth. Evan and Marlie's journey to uncover a cult and save missing children is filled with heart-pounding twists, passionate chemistry, and dark secrets. Their connection adds complexity to an already thrilling plot, making this a must-read for suspense lovers.

This is a story I will never forget. It pull at your heartstrings the entire books. Evan is great at his job but there is a big reason why he has so much drive in him. Marlie is barely living and ready to do so until she dies. She has suffered so much pain and loss she is determined to never enjoy life until she meets Noah. A little boy who is destined to do so many great things in his life after he too has suffered so much. Noah helps to set things in motion that could change the lives of so many people including Marlie and Evan. Will they be able to make it through the storm? I was given a copy through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review,

Evan and Marlie meet at the hospital where she work. Evan is investigating a big case which becomes personal to him. I liked how it was told from both points of view. All the loose ends were tied up by the end of the book which was good.

I’m a huge romantic suspense junkie. (Thank you, Nora Roberts, for spawning my addiction!) Tee O’Fallon’s Federal K-9 series cemented her as one of my favorite romantic suspense authors, so I was extremely excited to dive into her K-9 Special Ops series. However, I was not prepared for this emotional story. It absolutely packed a substantial emotional punch on top of the mystery, with both the hero and the heroine.

As always, the end was quite explosive, with a twist I didn’t see coming. Romantic suspense fans, it’s hard to be disappointed in a Tee O’Fallon book, so I wholeheartedly recommend Ultimate Justice as well as all of her Federal K-9 series books and any of her backlist.

NICUnurse’s Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I received a copy of this title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I have a weak spot for books that feature dogs in law enforcement, so I was nearly guaranteed to like this one from the start. And it did not disappoint. It was fast paced action, great characters and, of course, the dog. This is the third book in the series and follows an agent working missing children cases. I was a little worried going in that it would be a tough read because I generally don't like reading about kidnapped children as it tends to be too heavy a subject. But it was handled very well and I really enjoyed it. I will definitely be reading more from this author.

5 Stars

I’m not a big fan of romantic suspense books. Usually I either hate them or have nightmares about what happened. I just can’t do the thrillers and romantic suspense since it’s too realistic of what could happen in real life; however, Tee O’Fallon just writes amazing romantic suspense books that I enjoy reading. I’ve read this entire series so far and I’ve liked every one I’ve read. I liked that this was about a mom who went through something traumatic. It’s about found family and coming together to work towards finding the kidnappers and saving kids lives. I liked that this had forced proximity, life-and-death situations, and amazing characters. I will say that my one of my biggest problems with this book was that the mom kept telling the kid to say thank you in more of a demanding way. It just rubbed me the wrong way every time she did it. Other than that, I enjoyed this book.

I have been getting into romantic suspense lately and I would say Ultimate Justice is one of the good ones I have read. Marlie and Evan backstories were well written and didn't overshadow the main story. I enjoyed their growth as a person and as a couple. Looking forward to reading other books by the author.

I found the story to be wonderful, intense, and heartwarming. I also appreciate the great characters and emotional content. Great read!

I really enjoy Tee O’Fallon’s K9 series. There’s always a swoony MMC, and such an adorable partnership with his K9. Really enjoyed the mystery and the action packed into this book!

Ultimate Justice is the latest in the K-9 Special Ops series by the talented Tee O’Fallon. This story follows Evan who is an FBI special agent and Marlie who was a child psychologist before her world came crashing down. Now they will have to work together to take down the people responsible for kidnapping children in the area for years. Will they be able to figure out who all is involved and find the missing children in time? Read Ultimate Justice to find out.
I loved getting to know Marlie and Evan by reading their story. I was rooting for them from the very beginning. They were perfect for each other what with both of them suffering from a traumatic event in their past, and their experience helping children. Add in the undeniable chemistry between them and you have a great romance.
