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. **I was kindly provided with an ARC via Entangled Publishing in exchange for an honest review**

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! arc from Entangled and NetGalley for an honest review

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.
