Trap 'N' Trace by Tee O'Fallon

5.0

When an FBI agent meets a billionaire their preconceived notions become the least of their problems.

Billionaire socialite Katrina “Kat” Vandenburg’s day has gone from bad to worse. She just wanted to return a lost puppy to its owner, but what she discovers is two dead bodies and an attempt on her life. She’s the connection between the murders so her life now includes a sexy and confident FBI agent bodyguard, and his loyal K-9 with maternal instincts. What more could go wrong?

FBI K-9 Special Agent Dayne Andrews has lost his mentor and good friend and it wasn’t a random robbery. He vowed to find her killer, but he never expected another murder that connected a beautiful debutante and her adorable rescued puppy.

I love these two unexpected characters from two very different worlds. Their chemistry is hot and is well worth waiting for. Dayne isn’t the hardnosed alpha agent that Kat expects. His chivalry and compassion along with his “inherent confidence and self-assuredness” earn her respect and trust. Surprisingly, Kat isn’t the snobby entitled jetsetter that Dayne plans on either. Her generosity and kindness to everyone, even those who don’t deserve it, are traits he highly regards. As their trust and attraction build, the line between professional and personal becomes faded, but will one give into pressure?

As for the suspense, the undercurrent of menace is palpable as Dayne unravels the reasons why his friend and colleague and Kat’s friend are killed. The climax is intense as several suspects are weeded out and Kat is running for her life.

I also enjoyed Dayne’s hot and funny friends as well as Kat’s employees aka family. But most importantly, I loved Dayne’s loyal and intelligent K-9 Remy and the precocious and loveable puppy, Angus.

I couldn’t put this book down, and I definitely plan to read more in this series as well as place Ms. O’Fallon on my list of favorite authors.

This fast-paced romantic suspense story grabbed me from the very beginning. It is filled with love, misconceptions, edginess, humor, and of course adorable dogs. Recommend highly!
