Ultimate Justice by Tee O'Fallon

 

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.
