ATF Special Agent Eric Miller and his explosives detecting K-9, Tiger, pull over a truck, the contents of which are explosive. Literally. More shocking, the driver is the kid brother of a woman he left behind. One who still haunts his days and his nights. They’d never so much as kissed, but Tess McTavish never forgot the handsome, dangerous agent who vanished in a shroud of mystery. Now the last … mystery. Now the last thing she needs is an ATF agent with his own agenda. Doesn’t matter that Tess and her brother are innocent. If Eric learns the truth of their past, they’ll never be free.
Eric’s drive for revenge against the man who targeted him and his colleagues in a deadly explosion still burns hot inside him. Another bomb is about to be detonated and he’s sure there’s a connection between that man…and Tess’s family. But Eric and Tiger will do everything they can to protect the woman he’s falling for from what’s coming…

This is an exciting and thrilling story with plenty of action to keep you entertained, looks like I will be checking out the other books in the series.
This was my first read from Tee O’Fallon and I am happy that I found a new romantic suspense author to add to my collection. Even though this is the third book in her Federal K-9 series, the story is stand-alone. So you don’t have to read the others first. Although, now I think I will go back and read them!
This is the story of ATF Agent Eric and Tess, whose brother finds himself in legal trouble. Eric and Tess first met in a previous story and this is several months later. They have an opposites-attract kind of thing and find themselves working together to prevent a bombing. They have baggage and Tess has a traumatic childhood that creates obstacles for them. I would probably classify this as more romantic action than suspense.
I love this series. These are some serious alpha males in law enforcement roles. And BONUS, they are all K9 officers. Tiger is just as much a great character as the others. This one is a real roller coaster of suspense. I loved Tess’ reunion with her brother. And along the way to solving this one, the main characters learn about themselves and how to trust and love. This one is great from page one all the way to the Happily Ever After. Great story, great series. Can’t wait to read more.
This is a well-written, entertaining, fast paced, steamy, romantic suspense novel. It has likable, engaging characters, a strong and capable female protagonist, a strong, hot, male protagonist, wonderful K-9 heroes, and a happily ever after ending. It can easily be read as a stand alone, but is even better enjoyed when read in order, as there are references to characters and events from the previous novels in Ms. O’Fallon’s outstanding “Federal K-9” series. I am looking forward to reading Dayne’s story with great anticipation.
I totally enjoyed this series. Couldn’t put them down. Anxiously looking forward to many more. This is a must read!
Old-style plot. I did not like the female lying throughout most of the story. I like smart female characters.
Great story!
I truly loved this book. There were several surprises that I didn’t see coming. It kept me wondering what would happen next. This was my second book by this author. I think their will be more in my future.
5 stars
Tess ran from Alabama ten years ago and left her little brother too. Now he calls her wants out but before she gets to say anything, she hears sirens and he hangs up. Eric is an ATF agent with a K-9 partner Tiger. He pulls over Tess’s brother Jesse because he is hauling drums full of explosive material. Even though nothing ever happened between Tess and Eric, he hasn’t stopped thinking about her since he moved. Now he has her and her brother living with him until a controlled drop is made and they can find out who had Jesse drive those drums around. Eric is after a man who set a bomb off and killed his friends and almost killed him. But when he finds out the secret Tess has been keeping from him, it could kill any feelings he had for her.
Great story with action, pulse pounding thrills, and hot agents. Tiger is adorable. The sex is smoking.
This is the first book I have read by this author, and I am so glad I tried it.
I lost “Dark ‘N’ Deadly” with a computer crash and a kindle replacement. That being said, I recently was able to retrieve many of my lost books, and so rereading Eric, Tess, and Tiger’s story, I fell in love with them all over again. Knowing what Tess had been through and what her brother Jesse was facing was heart wrenching. As ATF agent, Eric and his canine Tiger come face to face with the most horrible time in Eric’s life, the story escalates to frantic proportions as they try to avoid another catastrophic event. The connections between all of them tells a story that is page turning drama with secrets revealed, as the clock starts ticking down to another disaster. A romantic suspense story that is fast paced that finds a HEA for everyone is what reading great stories is all about. “Dark ‘N’ Deadly” is one such story. **I was gifted a copy by NetGalley & Entangled Pub.** My review is voluntary and based on reading. 5 Stars!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and I also purchased a copy.
I just LOVE this series. The alpha K-9 men along with their dogs are federal agents. The series follows the group as they meet their significant others. The stories are just filled with suspense and intrigue while we watch the characters also fall in love.
The plot of this story just grabbed me right from the beginning. Eric Miller is a special agent with the ATF. He stops a young man driving a truck on the road. In the back of the truck, are several drums. During the arrest, Tiger, Eric’s K-9, alerts Eric to presence of a chemical. Tiger has been trained to alert to chemical agents used to build bombs.
Jesse’s, sister comes to bail him out. Eric comes face-to-face with Tess McTavish again. They had previously met (in the prior story). Eric knew that Tess was a special woman then and he was committed to never marry as he is so determined to track down a heinous man so he left. Eric is seeking revenge against the murder of three of his best friends who he went to law enforcement school with. Eric has a feeling as to who is behind the transporting of the fertilizer, Harley Gant. The same man who is behind his best friends murder. When he questions Tess and Jesse if they know Gant, both deny any knowledge of the man. Unbeknownst to Eric, Gant is their step-father. What follows is a fast paced intrigue. In the various events throughout the book, Eric and Tess stop denying their feelings for each other. Tess is just so afraid that Eric will turn away from her once the truth of her past is revealed.
I adored reading this book. It is written in my favorite dual POV format. Seeing into the characters’ thoughts really humanized them and drew me closer to them. The plot was very well written. I could picture the scenes as if I was watching a movie.
This is a spicy book so I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone under the age of 18. This is not erotica by any means but it may offend some who prefer just reading clean romances. While this book is a part of the series and the men all appear in the books, this can be read as a stand-alone. I would highly recommend starting at the beginning though as the first two books were just as fabulously written as well.
