Trap ‘N Trace is the fourth book in the Federal K-9 series. This was a new author for me and not the normal book for me to read, but the description caught my attention, so I thought I’d try reading something new. I am so glad I did because I loved it! My attention was caught at the beginning and the intense plot kept me on the edge of my chair until I finished the book. There were so many twists and turns and unexpected leads that there was no hint of how the book would end. The book flowed so smoothly and was so beautifully written. The author’s style of writing puts the readers right into the action and emotions of the characters. The characters were developed and perfect for each other.
Wealthy Katrina Vandenburg didn’t expect to come across a dead FBI female while returning a puppy that had been found and brought to her rescue shelter, the Canine Haven. Nor did she expect to be attacked and find her friend dead at the shelter while collecting food for the puppy, Angus. FBI Special Agent Dayne Andrews didn’t think it was a coincidence that both deaths were during the same day with Katrina being involved. He and his K-9 Remy’s mission is to protect her and find the murderer. Dayne wasn’t sure what to expect from Katrina but he didn’t expect her to be so sincere and caring for her employees. She was a constant surprise for him, and he knew he shouldn’t become involved with the witness of a case. His past has made him wary of wealthy females but the attraction between the two is too strong for them to deny. Can he keep her safe and be objective while investigating the case?
This was such a great book and I really enjoyed reading it. The characters from the previous books in the series make an appearance and I am truly intrigued by the series. I can’t wait to read the previous books and hope to see some of the agents again in future books.

3,5 stars!

This book has all the addictive elements that the other ones have as well, just not all of it was executed the way I hoped for beforehand < which definitely doesn’t mean that I didn’t enjoy reading it of course…

There’s Tee’s engaging and enthralling writing (which I love so much and made for a fast paced read), there are fantastic characters present whom have such amazing and palpable chemistry and there’s an exciting story-line present as well. It has romantic moments, funny moments, sad moment, and really engaging and thrilling moments as well, so there’s enough of that to keep everyone who likes reading romantic suspense entertained and hooked.

I liked the characters. They were interesting and fun to read about. Their chemistry and developing romance was fantastic and had me all hot and bothered on multiple occasions. This romance gave me all ‘THE BODYGUARD’ feels and boy do I looooove it. I liked getting more background stories with both Kat and Dayne, which made for an overall better character development I think.

One thing that stood out to me was this: I really missed more ‘presence’ of the K-9 character, Remy. In the other books, I felt the dogs were characters in their own way and they were more ‘entwined’ with everything, whereas in this story it felt like Remy was kept in the background most of the time < I feel like there was more possible with this.

As always, the book leaves me craving more. There are still quite a few characters that I’ve gotten acquainted with over time whom need their own story being told as well imo, so I really hope that’s going to happen as well.

Overall, this book is a lot of fun to read and one I definitely recommend reading it, if you like engaging romantic suspense and the presence of dogs in general (because even though there was more possible with the K-9 dog, it was still great fun!) To me, this wasn’t the ‘strongest’ book in the series, but when I look at ‘the whole’ of the series in general, it’s definitely one of my favorite series, that I can’t recommend enough.

Yes! Another spellbinding, page turner starring two of my favorite characters, FBI Special Agent Dayne Andrews and his K-9 partner Remy! Deliciously filled with suspense, drama, a full cast of characters, an amazing lead in Katrina Vandenburg, Tee also decided to throw in one adorable little puppy into the mix and this story hooked me right from page one.
Kat is not only an extremely wealthy socialite, coming from one of the richest families in the country. She's also extremely private, intensely so; runs a shelter for dogs called Canine Haven on a part of her property and lives in what basically is a castle. Has few staff and likes it that way. When a puppy ends up at her shelter with a tag she heads to meet the owner and return the pup to her and finds her dead body. The woman is a former FBI agent and Dayne is called in to oversee the case, working with the local police and meeting Kat. Dayne has so preconceived notions about Kat and more so when he gets a look at where she lives. The plot slowly unfolds and Dayne and Remy live with Kat to protect her after one of her animal shelter workers who is also a friend is murdered and Kat is also attacked.
Those days of kick boxing in her basement gym with her assistant paid off for Kat. Though she now has to deal with having Dayne living with her and his need to take over runs a little competition with her need for privacy. So many twists and turns in not just the overall plot but also between Dayne and Kat. I was so taken with Remy and Angus the puppy! I loved the way the whole story unraveled, Tee pulling thread after thread to keep you glued to the pages, adding into that mix again is the budding relationship between Kat and Dayne. Is there one or could there ever be one? Gah! She had me so twisted!
What a book! It's one of my favorite reads of this year. 5 star plus read for me. It's a must read no matter what your preference this book covers every base!

I can always count on Tee O’Fallon for a great read. Trap N Trace was no exception. I loved it! I was totally engaged right from the start and devoured this book in one sitting.

Great book!
Katrina is one of the wealthiest woman in the country, but she despises the snobbery that is found in "her world". She lives her life through her heart, caring about those she chooses to be close to and runs a shelter for dogs where she works alongside her staff in all aspects of the job. While trying to return a lost puppy to it's owner, Kat stumbles upon a murdered woman's body. Later that night while at the shelter, she finds her friend has also been killed and the killer attacked Kat as well. FBI agent Dayne along with the police work endlessly following leads to try to find the killer before he comes back for Kat. Dayne has become her personal bodyguard, not letting her out of his sight. But while he is protecting her, who is guarding his heart from falling for Kat? The sparks fly when they are together, but is that enough to overcome their vastly different life styles and bank accounts?
I loved the characters and the plot, while simple, kept me captivated throughout. If you are a fan of FBI romance books, this one is for you.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Great story. I love this series by Miss O'Fallon. I jumped at the chance to read another book by her. How could a reader not want to read about strong women, hunky men with badges and their canine partners.

I loved how the author dealt with the socioeconomic differences between the two main characters in the story. How she brought up the preconceived ideas each had of the other. They each learned that money doesn't buy happiness, sometimes being rich is more of a burden than being poor. Being rich makes people wonder why their friends/signficant other are really interested in them...is it because there's rich or do they like the person /interests they have.

Dwyane didn't care that Kat was rich in the beginning. Once Oliver points out to Kat that they have more in common with each other than Dwyane and she do, does Dwyane start questioning what she sees in him.

Dwyane is assigned to protect Kat, after she finds two dead bodies in a 24 hour period.

Trap ‘N’ Trace by Tee O’Fallon a five-star read with bite. This was my first read by this author and it certainly won’t be the last, I simply adored the writing style and not simply because there are dogs In the story. That being said I really hope there are places like the canine Haven in the real world as well, this was a compelling read and I already have the rest of the series queued up on my kindle as I need more of this writing in my life. FBI Special Agent Dayne Andrews and his K-9 partner was so well done, I love me a good police procedural and usually find myself picking fault as I can hear my step-dad in my head going ‘what are they doing, they wouldn’t hold it like that’ and ‘who says stuff like that! Really why do you watch/read this rubbish’ and I know if he was still here I could tell him to pick this up and he would devour it, even if he would blush at some of the descriptions. But they weren’t my favourite characters in this story, that honour went to wealth socialite Katrina Vanderburg and that surprised me as on the surface, I really didn’t expect to like her as much as I did, she wormed her pretty little face right into my heart. Kat became so much more than a wealthy socialite as we follow her on her path, and it’s a twisty path that is easy to follow but you will need to be mindful you don’t fall of the side as I suspect it may be a huge drop. This was a great story that shows us that money, power can be dangerous things and how that can cause imbalance, but they may not be the only dangerous things to these well written characters. What a fantastic read this was and I don’t think I can put into words how much I enjoyed it, It has taken me two days to get this written as my last one was just all, aaahhhh ooohhh and wow. I couldn’t think of any better words that would do it justice.

This is book 4 in the Federal K-9 series, and I have to say, I’ve loved each and every story so far, (all standalones by the way). FBI Special Agent Dayne Andrews and his K-9 partner Remy are on a mission to find out who murdered his close friend, a former FBI agent in cold blood. The only lead he has is wealthy socialite Katrina Vandenburg, and an adorable puppy named Angus. When it becomes apparent that Kat is also on the killer’s radar, Dayne becomes her personal protector. Living under the same roof and spending every waking hour together proves difficult considering the undeniable chemistry they have going on. They both try to ignore the mutual attraction they seem to have to each other, and, in order to keep his distance, Dayne convinces himself they have nothing in common, and he has no interest in her or her snooty friends. His priority is catching the killer. Yeh, good luck with that Dayne. Great story, I love Tee O’Fallen’s style of writing, the characters are wonderful, and the dogs, do not get me started on the dogs, they’re freaking adorable. So so cute. This romantic suspense was completely addictive. I loved it. I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is my honest review.

I'm such a softie when it come to cops with big German shepherds and Dayne has Remy, he's FBI and a genuinely good guy, what more could a woman want?

When Kat finds herself mixed up in multiple murders with her life at stake she has to have protection around the clock and for a Billionairess you would think she has better protection than a puppy for her massive castle and contents. But as Dayne finds out it isn't the material things she treasures.

Will these two be able to bridge the gap between lifestyles or will one give into pressure? Read this lovely romantic suspense story and fall a little in love yourself.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

All her money and the power that came with it… She’d told Dayne the absolute truth. None of it mattered. The one thing she wanted in the entire world—she couldn’t have.
Him.

I could not wait to start this book. The Federal K-9 series is one of my favorites, and I’ve been eagerly awaiting this fourth installment for ages. Okay, not ages, but you get the idea…

So, did Trap ‘N’ Trace live up to my (admittedly high) expectations? YES! I loved it! I’m so relieved to be able to say that, too, because I’ve come to rely on the excellent writing and realistic law enforcement vibe of her books. They’re so good, y’all.

This book has a lot going for it: adorable doggos, an FBI agent who oozes sex appeal, and a smart heroine who is waking up to her world. It’s interesting and smart, sexy with a slow burn, and definitely chock full of suspense.

Altogether, another stellar story from O’Fallon; one that’ll go on my re-read shelf as I go back to anxiously and excitedly waiting for more of these K9 agents and their partners.

(Side note: this can be read standalone, but this is some crossover and the other books are SO good, you don’t want to miss them!)

So many things I enjoyed in this book!. I have read past Tee O'Fallon stories and felt pretty good choosing this story and I was not disappointed. To start Kat was an amazing heroine, she was confident and did not lean on anyone even when she finds a murdered woman and has to call the police. Enter special agent named Dayne who is all kinds of yummy! Dayne finds out his friend and mentor from the FBI has been murdered and intends to find the criminal even if that means following Kat around.These two sizzle and they both really need someone to lean on. Great story from the start to finish and the pups are adorable!

This was a new to me author in the romantic suspense genre. I liked that the author had experience in law enforcement which made a lot of the action seem more believable. Overall the book was enjoyable and a quick read, if not a bit light on depth of character or plot. Would recommend to anyone that wants a fun and excited romantic suspense.

I received an advanced reader's copy of Trap 'N' Trace by Tee O'Fallon from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was not the first book by Tee O'Fallon that I've read and I have never been disappointed so I went in with high hopes. Happily, the positive track record continued with another fun book!

Overall, I felt this was a solid romance and I found it to be well written. I especially liked the primary and secondary characters' interactions and found their banter to be amusing from the start. The main characters, wealthy Katrina "Kat" Vandenburg and FBI agent Dayne Andrews, started out a bit adversarial with the only thing in common being a love of dogs.

After Kat finds a second dead body in less than a day and is attacked by the killer, Dayne takes on protection of her as he works to figure out who the killer is and why. As Dayne gets to know the woman behind the socialite facade, they find a lot more in common than just dogs.

I found the action to be steady and the romance to be believably paced and steamy. Plus, it's a book with a smart FBI working dog and an adorable puppy. What more do you really need?!

All in all, Trap 'N' Trace by Tee O'Fallon was a quick, fun read and I would recommend it for any romance fan.

Great book!! I loved this book and series!! Can't wait for more! This book had everything! It has intrigue , suspense, action, drama, and definitely some heat! I highly recommend this book and series! Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!

From page 1, this book was full of excitement. I really liked the way the book played out- it focused a lot on the mystery of who was stalking/ hunting Kat and why. Dayne, the FBI agent, was assigned to help protect her. They met previously and he had preconceived notions about her because she is so rich. But Kat, as a character, is fantastic. Caring, sweet, down to earth and smart, she made the perfect heroine. Dayne is protective and smart too so together, they made quite a team. I loved the look into a few other agents including one from a prior book (that I bought but haven’t read yet) and Remy, Dayne’s canine partner and Angus, the puppy, stole my heart.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early copy. I have enjoyed this book very much!

Katrina, a wealthy socialite, finds two dead bodies in one day. She was returning a puppy when she finds a former FBI agent dead. Then later that evening she goes to Canine Haven, a charity she runs, and finds her manager dead and the killer still there. She fights him off and he gets away. Dayne, a K-9 handler and FBI agent who is assisting with the case, and his German shepherd partner, Remy, gives chase but lose him. He decides her security could be handled by him only and becomes her bodyguard. While hunting for the killer, the sparks fly between them but Dayne of course thinks their worlds is just too different. Even though he knows he’s not the right man for her, he can’t resist the beautiful woman. Can Dayne save the woman he has falling for and get over his own insecurities?

First time reading this author and I freaking loved this story. Action, suspense, two adorable dogs, and sexual tension. The characters are well written and the story will grab you and not let go.

* Voluntarily read and reviewed this for NetGalley *

I just loved this one! Both Kat and Dayne are deep and layered characters. They have a great dynamic right from the beginning, and I loved watching their relationship develop. I twas great to see Kat stand up for him, and maybe even more powerful to see his appreciation for it. The suspense aspect helped keep things exciting, and the story moved quickly. The epilogue was perfection!! Can't wait for the next one in this series!!

*I voluntary received an advanced copy. All opinions are my own.

Another winner! I loved this book - actually, I loved the whole series. This novel opens quickly with Kat finding a murdered woman. Dayen, the human half of an FBI K-9 team, responds and finds the dead body of his former partner. Before long Kat is fighting for her life, and Dayen is determined to protect her. Remy, the K-9, is doing all he can to assist them, even "mothering" the stray dog Kat took in that started all of this.

As Kat and Dayen spend more time together, the sparks begin to fly, however, each is convinced their worlds are just too different. I loved the way they interacted and the push/pull of their relationship.

If you enjoy the genre, you will love this book. While part of a series, this is a stand alone novel, however, it's so good that you really owe it to yourself to read them all. The author is on my must read authors' list.

I was lucky enough to get an ARC of this book from Netgalley and here is my honest review. This book was on my list of books I have been wanting to read I loved the first second and third books in this series. This is the story of FBI Agent Dayne Andrews and Katrina Vandenburg. She found two dead bodies while the police think it was just the wrong time and place Dayne does not think so. Kat has a dog rescue shelter called the Canine haven. Kat and her shelter are the only things in common. Dayne and his K9 Remy will do what they have to in order to protect Kat from a killer. It will test Daynes resolve in doing so. If Dayne fails in protecting her nothing can. I loved loved loved this book. I read it in one day. I couldn't put it down. I really couldn't wait to see what happened between Kat and Dayne and find out about the killer. I highly reccomend this series and book and i cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

 leave a deadly trail.

For wealthy socialite Katrina Vandenburg, business meetings and charity galas are all part of her orderly, structured world—one that gets blown to hell after finding two dead bodies in the same day. The police think she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. FBI Special Agent Dayne Andrews thinks otherwise. Dayne and his K-9, Remy, are tracking a cold-blooded killer, and that trail...leads straight to Kat.
Kat and her rescue shelter—the Canine Haven—are the only common denominators between the murders, and Dayne is convinced she’s dead center in the killer’s sights. Protecting her will test every ounce of his steely resolve. She’s the most intriguing woman he’s ever met. And everything he shouldn’t want. Too bad neither of them seem to have gotten the memo.
And they need to focus on catching a killer now more than ever. Because if Dayne and Remy fail in their mission, nothing will stand between Kat and the killer’s deadly blade.
