My Review

In this exciting installment of the West Investigations series, Kevin Lombard, a new hire at the LA office, is eager to prove himself but is unexpectedly reunited with Maggie Scott, the woman he once loved and left behind. Maggie, a curator at the Larimer Museum, faces a crisis when her career-defining Vampire Ruby exhibit goes wrong, forcing her to seek Kevin’s help to clear her name and save her life. The story explores themes of second chances, deception, and family ties, with an unpredictable plot twist. While part of a series, it can be read as a stand-alone.

Review Card & Book Review- Ultimate Justice By Tee O’Fallon

While tracking down an escaped felon, FBI Special Agent Evan McGarry and his K-9, Blue, uncover a smoking hot lead on the location of dozens of missing children—including Evan’s own sister. The shocking discovery reopens cold cases throughout Colorado, along with painful wounds and the heartbreaking guilt Evan’s kept buried for decades.

Three years ago, hospital custodian Marlie Foxe’s world imploded, causing her to cut herself off from the world. But when one of the missing boys turns up at her hospital, he only allows Marlie to get close. Now, Evan needs her help with the boy—and he won’t take no for an answer. When she finally agrees to work with him, Evan suspects there’s more to the woman than she’s letting on. She’s hiding something. The question is what.

As Evan and Marlie unearth a cult targeting runaways, they’re forced to confront not only dangerous criminals but the truths they’ve both been avoiding—including the blistering passion they can no longer deny. But when more children disappear, they’ll have to risk more than just their hearts.

About The Author

My Review

Ultimate Justice, the third book in the K9 Special Ops series, follows FBI Agent Evan as he tackles a case that hits close to home. Years after the disappearance of his sister, Evan is still haunted by her loss. When his team rescues Noah, an 11-year-old boy, from captivity, Evan sees a potential lead to his sister’s case.

Marlie, a quiet hospital custodian, forms a special bond with Noah when he’s brought in for care. She’s used to keeping to herself, but something about the boy draws her in. This connection catches Evan’s attention, and despite their differences, Evan and Marlie begin to develop feelings for each other.

As the investigation progresses, it becomes clear that finding out who held Noah captive could also help Evan uncover the truth about his sister. Alongside his loyal K-9 partner Blue, who brings moments of levity and warmth to the story, Evan navigates the emotional and professional challenges of the case.

The fast-paced plot takes unexpected turns, leading to a twist near the end that surprises both Evan and the reader. Despite the suspense, the book also focuses on the growing romance between Evan and Marlie, their shared emotional journeys, and their connection to Noah. The story ends on a satisfying note with a surprise resolution and a well-earned happily ever after.
