Tee O’Fallon is one of the few authors that consistently sucks me into her books at chapter one. Ultimate Justice is no exception. She masterfully weaves a storyline that always makes me stay up way too late reading because I can’t force myself to stop reading.I love the characters in this book. Marilee and Evan are the perfect pair, both trying to find closure for the trauma in their lives. Noah was the perfect catalyst for the closure to take place. The side romance of Blue and Crystal added levity to the drama and suspense throughout the book. Another amazing book!! Thank you to Entangled publishing for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

Fantastic series! Action, suspense, evil bad guys, passionate good guys, simmering romance, and yea, dogs! Always an intense story with multiple sub plots, complex investigation, and real feelings and emotions weaving through. A perk that dogs are a big part of the team and family and and often steal the show. Keep them coming!

Ultimate Justice is the story of Evan and Marlie - a rollercoaster of a ride for the reader. This book is a compelling read which I would recommend you pick up when you can read it cover to cover because you are not going to want to put it down. I certainly couldn't. It's gripping and engaging, much like the previous books in the series have been (though they can all be read as standalones). I'd been eagerly waiting to Evan's story to land and it did not disappoint at all. In fact, it surpassed all my expectations. Five big fat stars.

Romantic suspense at its best! Ultimate Justice is book #3 in Tee O’Fallon’s K-9 Special Ops series. FBI Special Agent Evan McGarry and his K-9 partner Blue work on the Child Abduction Rapid Deployment team. Marlie Foxe works in a hospital where she connects with an 11 year old boy named Noah who was recovered by Evan’s team. Evan has demons driving him and Marlie has baggage that she is working through, but together they begin to overcome some of their issues.

Evan and Marlie had very strong chemistry, and I enjoyed reading about their budding romance as well as the relationship they both developed with Noah. I don’t want to include spoilers, but the plot centers around finding who had been holding Noah. K-9 Blue was professional and lovable all rolled into a furry package and had his own love interest. The plot was fast-paced and kept me on the edge of my seat. I was annoyed that work kept getting in the way of my reading! There was a twist at the end that I did not see coming. I always love a good happily ever after!

I have enjoyed all of Tee O’Fallon’s books, so while Ultimate Justice can be read as a standalone, I recommend you check out the first two books in this series. If you’re a fan of romantic suspense and K-9 stories, I’d encourage you to check out her Federal K-9 series as well.

Tee writes a fast-paced story full of intrigue and mystery. If you love your romance with a side of sexy FBI agent fighting crime with his sweet K9, boy is this the book for you.

I really loved how Noah allowed Marlie to open back up and come back to herself after the tragedy she faced in losing her son. I think he also had a heavy hand in allowing Marlie to be able to step into a relationship with Evan. And Blue allowed Noah to face the trauma he dealt with. He is the goodest boy.

The plot was amazing, the investigation of the crime kept me hooked, and the blossoming feelings between Marlie and Evan gave me the hit of romance I always look for in books. Not to mention the plot twist at the end!!

This was my first, but definitely NOT last, Tee O'Fallon book. Get your hands on it ASAP!

Another fast-paced, well-written romantic suspense from Tee O’Fallon—easily one of the best authors writing in the genre.

The third book in the K-9 Special Ops series is a thrilling ride from page one, chock full of twists, tension, and deep emotion. Evan and Marlie are flawed and floundering in their tragic pasts and I love to see characters overcome and grow, which both did—although the time line of it wasn’t quite what I was expecting. Nevertheless, it felt good to see them take steps forward, and honestly, that’s what it’s all about. The good feels.

Like the cameos from previous protagonists, the dogs (Blue 💙), Noah and his loyalty, and, of course, the building romance between hero and heroine. Which is as well balanced against the suspense as I’ve come to expect from this author and it part of what makes her books so damn enjoyable.

And damn enjoyable ULTIMATE JUSTICE is. I only wish it had lasted a little longer, and that the wait for O’Fallon’s next book was a little shorter. Until then, catch me rereading this and all of her other books…again.

I always enjoy Tee O'Fallon's books, and Ultimate Justice is no exception. I mean, the dogs alone are worth the read, though Evan and Marlie are excellent protagonists in their own right. Anyway, O'Fallon's books typically have a great balance between romance and suspense, never sacrificing one for the other.

I did feel that the relationship between Evan and Marlie was a little fast, especially given the emotional sinkhole Marlie was in at the start. That Evan took a little longer to succumb was a little odd, all things considered. Actually, his reticence makes more sense than her nearly overnight optimism.

Noah is another good character, though the role of children in the novel is a little weird. I didn't fully understand the crime scenario (I'm being deliberately vague to avoid spoilers) but opted to go with it anyway. I did figure out the mysterious baddies early on, despite valiant attempts at dropping red herrings, which themselves were a little awkward as distractions.

But overall, this was a great read, and O'Fallon remains high on my list of authors I'll always read.

I received an ARC of this book for free from the publisher and Netgalley. I'm writing this review voluntarily, and it reflects my honest opinion. Thanks!

This is a winner - fast paced romantic suspense at its best! Evan is an FBI agent who investigates child abductions. Unfortunately, his job keeps him too busy to have a life, even as he uses his job to learn what happened to his twin sister years before.

When Marlee is thrust into Evan's orbit, he realizes he needs her for his case, buy mostly, he just needs her, even though he can't have her...but Marlee has demons of her own, even as she brings a unique skill set to the table.

Fans of the genre will love this book. The author is a master at her craft and has written a tightly woven novel that kept me on the edge of my seat, turning pages just as quickly as possible. Put this one at the top of your TBR list. The author is on my must read authors' list.

This was an intense story for Evan and Marlie. They both have similar backgrounds, Evan's sister went missing and so did Marlie's son, but with a different outcome. The story is about children that have been trafficked. It's really sad. The fun part was Blue (German Shepherd) and Crystal (Samoan Huskie). They were just so cute. HEA.

I was lucky enough to receive an arc of this book while on vacation and thought i would read it by the pool for the rest of the week. I actually finished it in one sitting the same day!

This is the first book from this author I have read and will be going back to read the rest.

This book follows Marlie, a hospital janitor and Evan an FBI agent who are thrown together when Evan finds a young boy, Noah, who has been taken hostage. Despite some trauma in Marlie’s past which makes her reluctant to become involved she is the only one who can get him to talk and help Evan locate the other missing children. Evan has some trauma of his own and both Marlie and Evan are forced to face and overcome while protecting Noah and trying to save the rest of the kissing children. Noah also has an adorable k9 partner Blue who gets his own love story!

When I started this book I disappointed to find it was in 3rd person as I much prefer 1st person. However the writing style does not leave you feeling like you are in the viewpoint of the narrator as some do and I still felt like I really got to know the characters and understand their emotions and motivations. I loved the side characters too! I think there is a really good mix of action and romance which moves the plot along but doesn’t feel like it’s instalove or far fetched.

All in all this was a solid read and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys romantic suspense.
