K-9 Sergeant Jamie Pataglio, went undercover in a maximum-security prison in order to get inside the Mancusco crime family. After six months of work, he is finally in and can leave the prison a free man, and stepping into the case that will hopefully help him win his sick father's freedom. He expected the danger, the crime, and the unknown. What he did not expect is Bella Bianco.
Bella Bianco, is believed to be a part of the crime family and is a person of interest of the FBI, but she is an unwilling participant and she wants her Bistro to be hers and hers alone. Her aunt refuses to sell her her part of the Bistro, and leaves Bella to do things she never thought she would have to do. When she first meets Jamie's undercover persona she was immediately drawn to him. The more she gets to know him the more unexpected he becomes. If anyone finds out the secrets these two hold, their life could end up in jeopardy.
After reading the other six books in the Federal K-9 series, we never got to really know Jamie. He was a mysterious character that would appear and his friends would ask questions and then he would disappear again. I was glad to finally get to know Jamie and he was everything and more that we have learned the characters in this series are. I kept rooting for these two characters to get everything they want. I loved how well the emotional aspect of these characters was written, and you feel them right along with them. So don't forget your box of tissues. While the initial part of their relationship was built on a lie, they get to know each other, and the truth does come out. I loved how his friends were right there for him as soon as he called to have his back. The guys in this series are stand up guys, and guys us women wish were standing at our backs. I always know I am diving into a binge read and an awesome book when I pick up a book from Tee O'Fallon and this book is no different. I highly recommend this book, this series, and any book by this author.

Fast paced. Enjoyed the relationships with their dogs. Spice was good. Fell in love a little too fast imo. I wanted more tension. Thank you to the publisher for this arc!

Dnf at 30%. This is not for me. I feel like this book could have been great. I also struggle with the writing style and the characters in it.

Above N' Beyond by Tee O' Fallon is the last book in the K-9 Federal Series. The story follows Jamie Pataglio , a Federal agent who made a deal with the FBI to infiltrate the Marcusco crime family and gather information in order to take them down. If he does this they will let his father who is dying of cancer out of prison. The easiest way to stay close to the family's operation is staying in the renfed apartment of Paloa Marcusco's niece , Bella Bianco, who happens to have a soft spot for his dog, Jax. Jamie thought he would discover some secrets, but didn't plan on falling in love.
This was my first mafia / cop romance. I expected it to be a little cheesy, but it showed the different dynamics of family well. It was a bit of a slow burn but I loved how Bella and Jamie got to know each other first. I'm glad you can read all of these as stand-alones but now I'm curious about everyone else in the K-9 Federal Series stories.

Above 'N' Beyond
By Tee O'Fallon
**I received a copy of this book from Entangled Publishing and Net Galley in exchange for a honest and voluntary review**
While it's sad to see a series end I have to say that each book has been a treasure to read. So having said that Jamie is the last to fall in love of the Federal K-9 men and their *dogs*.
Also don't believe that only men can be a head of a Mafia family because Bella's Aunt Paola Mancusco leaves the Corleone and Soprano families in the dust. Oh and don't forget Jax, Jamie's K-9 partner who loves Bella and not because she gives him good scratches but because he knows she's his partners forever love. So Jax makes a deal with the Feds to take down Bella's Aunt and if he does his job right his dad will get the cancer treatment he needs. Bella knows that she may lose the restaurant that she built up from nothing because her aunt is a co-owner and using it for her business deals.
So sit down hang on and enjoy a fast paced, action packed ride while Jamie Pataglio takes down a Mafia and keep Bella safe and when he needs the guys and their K-9's will come to the rescue when they receive a SOS text.

This new installment of the series kept me on the edge of my seat while reading. It is a story filled with tension and suspense entwined with romance. Perfect reading material for the start of the chilly weather. I've read several books in the series, and I can say that every single one can be considered as a standalone even though the characters are reappearing in the books. I enjoyed reading this one as I enjoyed reading the previous installments. Highly recommend it to everyone who wants to read this kind of book.

Above ‘N’ Beyond describes the actions of K-9 Sergeant Jamie Pataglio in this delicious tale of undercover sleuthing. Jamie has agreed to go undercover for the feds in return his jailed father will get paroled so he can get cancer treatment unavailable where he is. This is a fast-paced mob story that will keep you enthralled. Jamie and Bella are magical together and Jax is just the best boy ever,
This is a fantastic finale to a fabulous series.

So this book is part of a series but it felt like the books could be standalone's so it wasn't hard to follow. Now the being said I had not read anything by this author so I wasn't sure what to expect. I really enjoyed this book I truly could not put it down. I feel like lately so many books in the suspense are kind of the same and this author put a spin on things and really draws you in. I like "Jimmy" he was someone who you hate to love because of the action in the books but it made it so easy to see where his heart was. I loved Bella man that girl did not hold anything back what you see is what your got with her. She wanted family so bad that she took a lot from those in her life. There is sexual content in this book so it may not be suitable for all readers. Overall this book was a fun read and well worth it in my opinion.

This book was fun! It’s been a while since I’ve read a crime fiction, and thoroughly enjoyed this one.
This is the last book in the series, but works very well as a standalone - I haven’t read any of the others. It’s action packed, plenty of tension between the characters, and the dogs definitely steal the show
