Worth reading

I really liked the story. It had everything I look for, romance, suspense, and intrigue. With every page I turned I kept thinking I knew what was next, but I was wrong! With as many romantic suspense stories As I read, I love when the book can catch me off guard. Will definitely be placed in my reread library with my other favorites.

Uber wealthy socialite and philanthropist Katrina is hands on at her dog rescue shelter, Canine Haven. While returning a found puppy to its owner, a private detective, Katrina finds a murdered body. Later, while stopping by the shelter for puppy chow for the puppy she is now fostering, Katrina finds her manager murdered and a man wielding a knife and wearing a ski mask demanding to know where 'it' is. Before he has a chance to murder Kat, someone arrives at the shelter and the murderer flees into the night but not before Kat has seen his face.

Dayne is an FBI Agent, whose mentor was the murdered PI who is also an ex-FBI agent. Partnering in the murder investigation, and believing that not only are the 2 murders connected but that Kat is in danger, Dayne and his tracking K-9 Remy are assigned to protecting Kat 24/7 while investigating the murders and trapping a murderer.

Can love be far behind?! Of course not. Both have similar issues to get past thought before there can be any happy ever after. This was quite enjoyable to read, with a romance that I just really wanted to reach its happy ever after. Plus it has not one but 2 great dogs! The scenes with Remy interacting with the puppy Angus are hilarious.

REVIEW

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.

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 it if you like reading 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 it was fast paced, engaging and I really liked these main characters a lot! And when I look at ‘the whole’ of the series in general, it’s definitely still one of my favorite series < so I can't recommend them enough and beg of you to read them if you're interested because Tee deserves for her and her books to being recognized and loved!

MAY 2020:
I just got an ARC for this one > Thank you SO much @ Netgalley and the Publisher; I truly couldn't be happier about the fact that I'm able to start reading it later today! This is one of my most highly anticipated 2020 releases. Tee's writing is so frigging good and especially the Federal K-9 series is one that I fell in love with so much.

Trap 'N' Trace is book four in Tee O'Fallons Federal K-9 Series, although it can easily be read as a standalone, as each book features a different K-9 Federal Department from State Police to CIA. With this particular story featuring FBI (K-9) Investigator Dayne Andrews, who is called in to investigate, when local heiress Katrina Vandenberg stumbles across the dead body of a former FBI Agent and is then pulled further into the investigation when the killer seemingly targets her and her business Canine Haven.

And it really was an enjoyable story. That had cute canine companions and likable characters. Not to mention a nice amount of mystery, danger, romance and heat. And honestly, I was easily engaged throughout.

Would happily recommend.
