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.

Ultimate Justice is a gripping story of 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 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.

Marlie and Evan’s story was amazing. Loved how they both healed together. Loved Blue and Crystal too.

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.

I love the K-9 drama that comes with this series, and Blue (named because of his eye colour), a German shepherd, is one of my favourites FBI Agents. He’s got an awesome personality, from falling for Crystal, a Samoyed-Siberian husky mix, to befriending the sweetest of boys. His partner FBI Agent Evan McGarry is also a firm favourite of mine. Easy on the eye, and like all of these agents, dedicated to the job, a little bit too much maybe, but when you know the reasons it’s completely understandable. When his path crosses with Marcie Foxe things take a change that neither of them are willing to think about. Lots of action, a little romance. Child abduction is at the heart of this story, and I’ve got to say I was relieved when it wasn’t quite as sinister as it could have been. Both Evan and Marcie have personal experience with missing children, so this case affects them both in every way possible. Suspense that had me addicted from the get-go, and with a twist that I most definitely did not see coming. Every theory I had was blown out the window. I loved it.

What a sublime five-star read. This blew me away, I have loved the first two stories in the K-9 Special Ops series, but this one had the extra special sauce that blew me away. I felt so much for Marile, there was just something about her history and how she stands who she is today, she shines through in this story, there are so many well written characters, but she is just the best. There are parts of this story that are troubling, but honestly, they are so well written that you know why its there, there isn’t an unnecessary hardship in this story, they are all true and needed. I must say I loved seeing Blue get what he deserved, its beautiful how it all comes together.

Ultimate Justice
K-9 Special Ops Book 3
By Tee O'Fallon

I loved this addition to the special ops series by Ms. O'Fallon writes each person and their K-9 are completely in sync with each other. Evan McGarry is haunted by memories of his twin sister's missing status of 22 years. So he is perfect for the FBI CARD Team with his partner Blue by his side while searching for a escaped prisoner and find Noah a young boy who will help Evan and his team take down a couple who abduct kids to run their illegal farm business.
But Noah will also help Marlie a psychologist at the hospital who will over come her fears and loss of her own son to help him. Plus bring Evan, Marlie, Noah and Blue become a family each one really needs.

This is a non stop action story that will have you glued to the story til the wee hours of the morning. I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars because its so good. I can't wait for the next book.

Thank you to Entangled Publishing and Net Galley for letting me read this book

This book was a great read! I had trouble putting it down! I enjoyed the thriller aspect as well as the romance vibes!

Okay, I wouldn’t admit this to anyone I know, but sometimes you just need a good romance with a strong, handsome hero who will do anything to protect the woman he loves. Sigh!

It's a fast-paced emotional roller coaster ride with some spice, a little bit of enemies to lovers mixed with an off-limits love & an alpha male meets a sassy, & strong heroine.

Quite some intense elements present in this one, with child traffic and what not and I think Tee did an amazing job of implementing it into the story, and was able to write characters who were so well developed and had an enormous growth throughout the book. It’s so well done and I love that Tee’s not shy of putting the spotlight on difficult matters, while she’s able to have you still enjoy a very good story and developing romance.

As for the romance part, there’s also a well developed thing going on here with some pretty good steam and chemistry and I gobbled it all up. Couldn’t get enough of it. These characters were so good for each other in every way and I love that so much, especially when people are hurting like both of them… That they still find good and love in the world. Those HEA are worth everything and I love reading about it haha!

As always, I just love diving into a book written by Tee. Her writing is so wonderful and I love the combination of romance, suspense and of course the K9 dogs! It’s always palpable that Tee has hands on experience with the law and that she also does her research on specific subjects within law enforcements that she doesn’t have own experience on. I love it so much when an author puts so much work/research and love into a book. These books are really the perfect romantic suspense stories for me and I hope there’s lots more to come. Reading Evan’s story was absolutely great, despite the serious undertone present that can be quite brutal/heavy on the heart.

It’s Evan’s turn!!!! I knew he had a lot of pain and grief, but man, he’s got even more than I anticipated. But so does Marlie. And she’s just as mired in the muck that holds you down as Evan is…until Noah comes along. Then she begins to get unstuck, just a little at a time, and Evan finds himself unsticking along with her, all while also wanting to stick with Marlie in a permanent way. But can he let go of his pain and grab onto a future? Or is he doomed to remain stuck and alone?

This is one that keeps you guessing. I had a few feelings as the facts became known, and I can say with zero remorse that I was right in one or two hunches, but the red herrings that this author so expertly tossed at me had me running down dead end roads more than once along the way. But I adored it all and wouldn’t have this tale go differently. Especially when the past finally joins the present in such a bittersweet, yet oh so hopeful, way.

I already want more of this series and more from this author. That’s how much her work sticks with you. You hit “the end” and find yourself immediately looking for what comes next!

Ultimate Justice is the third in the K-9 Special Ops series and follows FBI Agent Evan McGarry as he is trying to find where a group of missing kids are being held as forced child labors. Noah, a runaway that was never reported being missing is found by Evan and his dog and partner Blue. They found Noah hidden in a house and drugged from his captors. One one of the walls are pictures of kids including Evan's sister Grace who disappeared when she was 12 years old. The reason that Evan became a FBI agent was to find out what really happened to Grace.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

A satisfying finish to the series. Evan has a monkey on his back – the disappearance of his twin sister. Marlie has closed herself off to much of life due to a personal loss. The coming together of these two creates a wild ride. He realizes that too much of his life has been influenced by his loss while she arrives at the same realization. The development of their relationship and the conclusion of the series is beyond satisfying. While there won’t be another book in the series, I look forward to the next book by this author.

Ultimate Justice, the third book in the K-9 Special Ops series by Tee O’Fallon has all the intriguing and attention-holding elements that make up the perfect story to lose yourself in for a few hours…characters who draw to your emotions, a realistic and real storyline that has made headlines in our collective pasts, and a wickedly intelligent dialog that's peppered with an excellent mixture of wry humor, rapid-fire banter, and emotionally charged moments of susceptibility.

Ms. O’Fallon has once again used her gift of combining the little-known life (to the outside world) of the men and women in the Special Operation branches of law enforcement and given it a narrative with which to entertain and enlighten readers. The story is both a page-turner as well as a gut-clencher. The suspense and tension one moment drive you to the edge of your seat, while emotions are driving the heart through the deeper layers.

Hopefully, this is not the last that we have of the K-9 Special Ops series…if not for the men and women who make up this group, but for the K-9s who are the real stars!

This ARC book was complimentary…provided by NetGalley and the Publisher. I'm voluntarily providing my honest review.
