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.

Ultimate Justice

I know this is a series but I started with this book unknowingly. However, it was not an issue. I still had a great time reading. I’ll have to go back and read the others!

This romantic suspense had me on my toes. I throughly enjoyed the chemistry between FBI Special Agent Evan McGarry and Marlie Foxe.

The action in this book is amazing. There is a lot of child abuse and trauma mentioned in this book.

Marlie and Noah’s connection and bond is amazing. So sweet.

And Blue and Crystal 🥰. The best!!!

Worth the read.

I didn't realize just how much I missed a good Law enforcement suspense book until I picked up this book.
I blew through this book so fast and really had a hard time putting it down. Evan, CARD FBI agent, (along with his K9 Blue) is thrown into a case that takes him right back to his past and also shows him a glimpse of what his future could hold. Marlie is trying to lay low and is just existing after a tragedy occurred in her life when she meets a young boy Noah, who immediately is drawn to her at the hospital where she works. All the twists, turns and growth that happens between each of these characters is well thought and the way the mystery unfolds kept me on my toes. The romance aspect was really well done and I enjoyed that added element to the story especially since with what they had been through in their past, Marlie and Evan seemed to be the right people for each other (even though the path isn't smooth).
I am excited to read more books from this series.

Ultimate Justice - Review

This was my first experience reading FBI-law enforcement suspense, let alone romantic suspense, and I was absolutely hooked! 5 stars! From the gripping opening scene to the final plot twist, this book kept me on the edge of my seat.

FBI Special Agent Evan McGarry and his K-9 partner, Blue, specialize in child abduction cases as part of the Child Abduction Rapid Deployment Team. During a mission to track down a convicted felon, they unexpectedly discover a missing child named Noah hidden in a basement. This discovery propels them into a larger investigation that uncovers a disturbing cult targeting children.

Marlie, a hospital custodian working the graveyard shift, meets Noah at the hospital and quickly gains his trust—he will only speak to her. Marlie’s own tragic past and deep-seated pain uniquely position her to confront her fears and protect Noah with unwavering determination.

Evan also battles his own demons, which drive him to become fully invested in Noah’s connection with Marlie. Two broken souls with tragic histories, a child in desperate need of love and safety, and a very lovable canine make this story one you simply cannot put down. The plot is perfectly paced, with an unexpected twist near the end that will leave you saying, “OMG! I didn’t see that coming!”

I thoroughly enjoyed the chemistry between Evan and Marlie and how seamlessly Noah fits into their dynamic. Each character is well-developed and compelling in their own right, making the story all the more engaging.

Even though I hadn’t read the first two books in the series, I found this one to be an excellent standalone. I might just have found a new favorite genre in romantic suspense! Well done. I’m excited to read the rest of the series in order now.

Thank you to Entangled Publishing, LLC, and Net Galley for this ARC to read and review.

Unputdownable; fast-paced storyline that had me on the edge of my seat flipping pages!

One thing I really enjoy about this author's writing style is her ability to craft immersive storylines that drop you right into the MC's world. There is so much depth and descriptors, it makes for a truly great reading experience. My emotions were all over the place with this one.

I would absolutely recommend adding this book to your TBR and I looked forward to reading more books from this author in the future.

Thank you Tee O'Fallon, Net Galley and Entangled Publishing LLC for providing me with an ARC of this book. All opinions in the review are my own.

Evan and Marlie meet in a sad moment involving an injured child, Noah. Both Evan and Marlie have sad baggage from a family trauma that impacts their actions and emotions through this story. Noah is a delight and I enjoyed his character and approach to life, especially after what happened to him. Along with trying to help Noah, and save the other children he mentions, Noah has found a clue regarding his lost sister and his hope is tangible as the journey to find the criminal mastermind continues. Blue is the K9 partner that we meet in previous books with Evan’s law enforcement friends and he is a shining star in this story with his ability to find lost individuals and his own romance with Crystal. A fun and great story that I couldn’t put down.

The hold this one had on me! I couldn’t put it down! It was everything I love in romantic suspense–fast-paced, the unexpected twists, the thrill of both the romance and the danger. I mean seriously, this one had me gasping out loud from the shock! I loved Marlie and Evan together. They’ve both dealt with a lot in their lives, able to recognize a heaviness in each other. Evan won’t take no for an answer when he needs Marlie’s help on an FBI case, which forces them to spend more time together. Evan’s protectiveness had me swooning, and I loved Marlie holding space for him. They both tried to fight it and protect themselves, but they’re meant to be. I also loved getting to know Noah and seeing him form relationships with both Evan and Marlie. All three of them will tug on your heartstrings, and they deserve the world. I really enjoyed this one! I need to go back and read the first two books now!!

This book was full of heartbreak and grief, but also hope and love. Marlie and Evan are both learning to navigate their everyday lives while holding on to so much grief. Marlie has become a shell of who she used to be, while Evan has thrown everything into his career, leaving room for nothing else. Their heightened emotions led to some passionate moments!

It was suspenseful & the last 60 pages were exciting! It was a quick read and I enjoyed it! I really loved Blue! I'm adding the rest of the K-9 Special Ops series to my tbr. This is a series but each is a standalone.

FBI Special Agent Evan McGarry and his K-9 partner Blue work on the Child Abduction Rapid Deployment team, during one of their operational, they rescue an 11 year old boy, Noah. While in the hospital, Noah connects with the custodian, Marlie. Marlie was a trained psychologist, who has been living under the radar for 3 years after her world crumbled.
Evan and Marlie feel a connection, but they both have baggage they will have to let go if there is any hope for an HEA.
There were twists and turns that kept you hooked. Noah was just too adorable, and the romance between Blue and Crystal was just heartwarming. This is the 3rd book in the K-9 series and is as gripping as the previous ones if not more.

I love all the K-9 books, but this one may be my favorite. I loved the characters of Evan, Marlie, and Noah and how they came to be a family. Like all the books in this series, the path to a happy ending is not smooth or direct, but rather filled with lots of doubts, danger, heart ache, and some pushy friends. This book can absolutely be read and enjoyed as a stand alone, but anything Tee O'Fallon writes is a must read.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Another top read. Loved Evan and Marlie’s story. Not only were the bad guys smart and sneaky but the good guys were driven, smart and true. Do not miss this newest book in the K-9 Special Ops series, I have enjoyed them all and so far each new book becomes my favorite. Oh, and then there is the “butterfly whisperer”. ““C’mon, buddy.” He tugged his dog away just as a large black-and-orange monarch butterfly descended out of nowhere, flapping its wings, frantically searching for a landing zone. It settled on Blue’s head, in the furry comfort between his ears.”. Just warm fuzzies for me.

This is such a suspenseful book. It’s was teeming with tension and drama from the first page. The characters are all brave and strong. It was hard reading about abducted children, but the author wrote it with sensitivity and grace. I could not turn the pages fast enough. I found the whole book exhilarating. Superb writing. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley.

Ultimate Justice is my favorite in this series! It's a story about the difficult subject of child trafficking, but it’s handled well with plenty of twists to keep the story moving quickly. Evan and Marlie each have personal connections to the heartbreak of missing children, making them both determined to end the latest ring they’ve discovered and fear of getting involved with each other and opening their hearts to love. Noah stole my heart and was key to the happy ending for both Evan and Marlie. I really enjoyed this story.

Evan and Marlie each have personal connections to the heartbreak of missing children, making them both determined to put an end to the latest ring they’ve discovered and fear of getting involved with each other and opening their hearts to love. Eleven year old Noah and canines Blue and Crystal stole my heart, and I had trouble putting this book down! I recommend this book and the others in this series.

Ultimate Justice is book three in Tee O’Fallon’s K-9 Special Ops series. The book started out strong and kept me hooked the entire read. There is suspense, romance, and long held secrets from the past. The topic is a difficult one involving missing children, including Evan’s own twin sister from over two decades ago. When one of those missing children ends up in the hospital and meets Marlie, he will only open up to her about his experience and captors. There is a lot of love to give a little 11 year old boy when he worms his way into Marlie’s heart. This is a great series, one of the author’s best. This book can be read as a standalone but I recommend all of the books to appreciate the friendships. However, if you only have time for one, I recommend this one. It is excellent.
