Perfect Vengeance

FBI Strike Force #1

by Tee O'Fallon

Trusting him could save her…or destroy her.

Robin Hood meets the Sopranos—wearing high heels… an insanely dangerous scheme Gina Perot and her friends hatched to steal from the mob and donate the loot to a worthy cause. Successful Wall Street investment banker by day, cat burglar by night, Gina leads a double life. But she's never forgotten how the mob and the FBI destroyed her family and ripped her life apart. Now it's time for payback. Charity and revenge all rolled into one. Perfect. Until Gina's scheme sends her crashing headfirst into a major FBI investigation and facing heavy-duty federal obstruction charges. And, the hottest, most frustrating man she's ever met.

Stop stealing from the mob or else… is the order FBI Strike Force Special Agent Jack Gates gives Gina. But Jack quickly learns he can no sooner control a force of nature like Gina than he can control where a tornado sets down. Facing a court-ordered deadline, Jack needs Gina's cat burglar skills to help him bring down a powerful Mafioso. He makes her an offer she can't refuse: go to jail or work for him as an FBI cooperator. When the mob learns Gina's been ripping them off, Jack is determined to keep her safe at all costs. Even if that means confessing his terrible secret and losing her forever.

[Tee O'Fallon]

I'm excited to announce the release (June 10) of Perfect Vengeance, the first book in my brand-new FBI Strike Force series! This series follows a team of Strike Force agents (blood brothers) fighting organized crime from around the globe—the Russian mob, the Polish mob, and the little-known resurgence of the Italian Mafia. In the last decade, mafia groups have been reorganizing and modernizing. New families are emerging, and those thought to have gone extinct are on the brink of a lethal comeback. A bloodbath is brewing between rival families struggling for control of the streets and the cities they plan to take over. And, of course, in the midst of all the chaos and danger, my hunky heroes will fall in love with the women they were always meant to be with. Perfect Vengeance introduces Special Agent Jack Gates and Gina Perot. I think their meet-cute in chapter 1 is one of my best yet!

The Perfect Vengeance ebook is available for preorder now at all online retailers. The paperback will be up for preorder soon. I hope you'll check out Jack and Gina's story. Happy reading!

Jack and Gina😍

I love reading Tee’s stories and this one was no different❣️A new series to sink our teeth into and I suddenly want to find my own Jack Gates…shhh don’t tell my husband🤪

Anywho, this story has just what one would expect from an FBI book, a sexy, tall handsome agent who busts a woman stealing money from the mafia. When this turns south and he comes away injured, he tracks Gina down and makes her an offer…help him or go to jail🤔

I won’t say much more other than I really loved the story and I can’t wait to find out more about Jack’s siblings next🙌

I just finished "Perfect Vengeance" by Tee O’Fallon, and I am completely blown away! This book is a masterful start to what promises to be a thrilling series. From the very first page, O’Fallon captivates the reader with a gripping storyline and complex, well-developed characters.

The protagonist's journey is both intense and emotional, making it impossible to put the book down. The author’s ability to weave suspense with hints of romance keeps the reader engaged and eager to find out what happens next. The plot is intricately crafted with twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout.

Tee O’Fallon’s writing is crisp and vivid, painting scenes so clearly that I felt like I was right there alongside the characters. The chemistry between the lead characters is electric, adding an extra layer of depth to the narrative.

"Perfect Vengeance" is a must-read for anyone who loves a good suspense with a touch of romance. I can’t wait for the next installment in the series! Highly recommended!

PERFECT VENGEANCE is the first (1st) book in TEE O’FALLON’s new FBI STRIKE FORCE series.

Perfect Vengeance is a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read!

Gina Perot is a female Robin Hood of sorts- stealing from unsavoury characters and giving the money she ‘acquires’ to a women’s shelter, helping those in desperate need whilst getting her own perfect vengeance on her ‘victims’. No harm, no foul. Or so she thinks, until she accidentally interrupts a FBI agent during a job. Not only does she cause him to not complete his mission but he is inadvertently injured during their escape.

Forced to work with the growly, handsome G man, Gina can’t deny the attraction between them, until that is she discovers a secret he’s been holding close to his chest. When disaster strikes and everything falls apart putting her life & those around her in danger there’s only one person that can help her……

§§§§§§§§§§§§

This is Ms O’Fallon’s first independently released book and I have to say it’s a great start to her independent journey! I really like the premise of this new series and am looking forward to future stories. Having read all of Ms O’Fallon’s previous books I believe her writing is improving by leaps and bounds with each subsequent release. For me this story is an easy 4.7/5 (rounded up for review purposes). Her attention to detail is amazing and her own knowledge and experience shines bright and only enhances the reading experience.

I really like the length of this book (around 375 pages). Nothing feels like filler and it doesn’t feel rushed or formulaic, just letting itself ride along naturally. I also really appreciated the authors attention to detail ( explaining routes they took, information about the places they went etc)- it really helped me to picture the scenes and drew me in.

There is nonstop action from the very beginning of the book, right through and certain parts definitely had my heart rate accelerating. There is quite a bit of violence both on the page and off, and I did find myself cringing a couple of times but it wasn’t gratuitous and fit with the theme. I will hold my hand up here and admit I really don’t like ‘mafia’ type books but this book has me rethinking that. The storyline kept me invested from beginning to end and I struggled to put it down. I’m really looking forward to the next book in the series!

I received a copy of this book and was happy to leave a fair and honest review.
Highly recommend!
Enjoy!😊

As the first book from her new FBI Strike Force series, Perfect Vengeance sets the tone for what promises to be a series full of suspense, romance, and action packed scenes.

Perfect Vengeance follows Gina, a woman leading a double life as a Wall Street investment banker by day, and a very skilled cat burglar by night. And Jack Gates, an FBI Agent who is trying to bring down the Falzone family, not only because of being a mob family, but to seek his revenge from the Falzones killing an agent that Jack put undercover and a bookie that Jack had as a FBI cooperator.

Fueled by a past scarred by both the mob and the FBI, Gina has taken it upon herself to steal mob money from The Falzones to not only seak her revenge for what they did to her family, but to also help fund a non-profit women's shelter that helps women create new identities to leave their abuser for good.

In this gripping storyline including justice, revenge, and redemption both Jack and Gina's past are more entwined than they ever realized, and they work together to bring down the Falzones while also learning how perfect they are together.

Perfect Vengeance is so well written that you'll be wondering what comes next and won't be able to put the book down.

[Sydney · Rating 5 out of 5]

Perfect Vengeance is a fantastic start to Tee O'Fallon's new FBI Strikeforce series! Jack, the main male character and FBI agent has a score to settle with the mob. Not only is it his job, but they made it personal and he won't stop until he's dismantled the entire organization. While Jack is out for justice, Gina seeks the same, though her methods differ greatly from Jack's. Gina knows firsthand how deadly being associated with the mob can be and she wants nothing to do with that life unless it is to extract her own style of vengeance. Though they seem to be polar opposites, Jack and Gina ultimately have the same goal: to bring the mob to its knees and protect those they love.

The main characters in Perfect Vengeance are wonderfully unique, with fun characteristics that set them apart from others and prepare the way for a beautiful opposites-attract opportunity. From their first disastrous meeting to the last page of their story, the way their lives weave together keeps readers engaged and interested in what the future brings for them. For those looking for strong romantic suspense, this book doesn't skimp on the romance either!

Overall, book 1 set up the series for a strong start. . . when does book 2 come out?!

[Becky Claxon · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was so suspenseful! There were times I was afraid to keep reading because I didn’t want something bad to happen to Gina! Gina was one gutsy lady that had three friends helping her to rob from the mob to give to a woman’s shelter. There was a story behind all that, but she had not let anyone know that she also had an ulterior reason. My heart went out to Gina at times even though she was a strong person. I was so afraid for Gina when she met Special Agent Jack Gates. That was thrilling to begin with. You will not want to put this book down so you can try to find out why things were happening. Jack was after a certain mafia family because of a few things they had done in the past. It was crazy how Gina and Jack’s past had actually intersected at one time and they didn’t know. Ms. O’Fallon’s writing made the story come to life like I was there with them all. The suspense had me afraid for Gina and Jack at times. There were many twists and turns that had me trying to figure out what was going to happen next. This book was so good, and I strongly encourage you to read it. I can’t wait for the next book!

[Gazelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Robin Hood mixed with Charlies Angels is the vibes I get from Gina’s “crew”. Gina is a skilled at getting in and out without leaving any evidence behind. She is only interested in taking money from one particular mobster to help fund a great cause, but things can’t run smoothly forever. When Gina runs into Special Agent Jack Gates things get a little tricky. The more time Gina spins with Jack the more they can’t deny the attraction between them, but can a relationship really work? Jack is willing to throw it all away to keep Gina safe, but can they figure out how to catch the bad guys and not break their hearts in the process? This was such a great/easy read that I finished it one day. I didn’t want to put it down until I knew what happened. I love a good protector romance with suspense and this one checked this one. Great start to the series with characters I’d love to know more about.

[Reading Addict · Rating 5 out of 5]

Perfect Vengeance was just that...Perfect! I love diving into a good romantic suspense story and Perfect Vengeance was just what I hoped it would be. FBI special agent Jack Gates is exactly what I envision for an agent, focused, driven and oh so hot! When safe cracker Gina Perot stumbles into his case, Jack is furious. When she gets away from him during a chase and he's hit by her ride, Jack is fit to be tied. I don't think that Jack felt he would ever see her again but fate has other things planned for these two. Lots of thing planned if they can both survive the New York mob and their unknown histories to each other. I don't want to get into much detail because that would ruin the fun for the reader. Perfect Vengeance was told from multiple POV and has all the action, twists, drama and heat that I search for in a great romantic suspense story. I cannot wait for the next book in the series!

[Susan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Strap in for a thrill ride with this one. Packed with constant action, a fiery thief and a hot FBI agent take on the Mafia in this wonderful first installment of the series. They both have a bone to pick with the Mafia and it runs deep. That makes the story all the more captivating as you root for both main characters.

The author does a wonderful job painting the villains of this story in a dark and dangerous life. It takes the romanticizing out of the mob and shows the darker side of the murder, the abuse and the cheating. You will be wanting to put the cuffs on them yourself as you navigate this well done story.

This author has become a favorite of mine and this new series promises to be just as exciting as her other ones. Can't wait to read the second story of this series!

[Laura R · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved this start to a new series involving blood brothers, three of whom are in the FBI and one suspected to be working for a dark ops agency. This story revolves around Special Agent Jack Gates and Gina Perot, cat burglar with a mission. From their first meeting, the chemistry between Jack and Gina is explosive. And it only gets steamier the more they interact.

The story includes a diverse collection of characters, family ties (both blood and found), suspense, humor, mafia, domestic abuse, and so much danger it will have you holding your breath at times. Both of these characters are struggling with events from their past, which will have an impact on their current relationship. This story will have you turning the pages from the start to the end to see what happens next.

[Anima · Rating 5 out of 5]

Stealing from mobsters might be the deadliest thing to do, however the reason behind it makes it worth the risk. Gina and her lady gang help a nonprofit charity organization that is always in need of funds. Clean, untraceable bills are just sitting there for the taking, so why not? Jack, hot FBI guy, is that reason why. She’s messing up his case, but maybe there’s a work around. Outstanding and a quick read, this is a crazy start to a new series. Jack has three brothers, all in some sort of government/military role, and his mom is praying for grandbabies so these guys need love lives. Aside from the romantic element and sleazy mobsters, the banter is top notch and the story written to keep drawing us in. I got to read an early copy and have given my review voluntarily.

[Melanie Marnell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Perfect Vengeance is everything you could want or expect from an FBI drivenstory. A stoic, driven special agent, Jack Gates, on a fifteen year quest to take down a lesser known mafia family with aspirations of moving into the big time. I freely admit that I loved Jack who, despite outward appearances, is a down to earth, family oriented man who's ready for love (whether he acknowledges it or not.) What he's not prepared for is Gina Perot and her posse of dedicated do-gooders. Gina is fearless, skilled, smart, as driven as Jack but for completely different reasons and reluctant to get involved with any man. Catching her red-handed on one of her midnight forays sets things in motion that ultimately lead to love and the justice they both aimed for.

[Darcy · Rating 3 out of 5]

The opening to this one was so much fun! Well, maybe not for Jack, but it was sure fun reading it.

I liked the dynamic between Gina and Jack, the thief and the FBI. I didn't mind what Gina was doing, probably because she was doing it for good and stealing from people that were/are awful. It was interesting to see how Jack protecting Gina and her girls, mostly because he was using them to get the bad guy. The way that things were revealed made for fun reading, you were rooting for everyone but the bad guys, but also know when certain info came out, it would cause issues.

Things were a bit dicey towards the end, but I'm glad that they turned out ok and that Gina and Jack ended up together.

[Sharon Conner · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this new book from Tee O’Fallen. Perfect Vengeance is the first book in her new series FBI Strike Force. This story was non-stop action from page one. The hero is Jack Gates and he is an FBI agent devoted to bringing down the mob. He enlisted the help of a modern day Robin Hood who has her own reasons for wanting to bring down the mob. I don’t want to give away any spoilers but there are twist and turns I never saw coming. Tee O’Fallen is a masterful story teller and draws her years of experience in law enforcement help create realistic and exciting story’s that her readers can’t get enough of.

[Angelasclassic · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yet another masterpiece from the pen of Tee O’Fallon.
A very compelling read that had me hooked from the first page, action, intrigue, suspense and drama. This book has it all. Such a wonderful storyline and so well written, it was like having a personal TV screen in my mind.
Wonderful, loveable characters, especially Gina, (during the day works on Wall Street and by night is a cat burglar) and Jack (who is a special agent with the FBI) are an absolute delight, have amazing chemistry and a surprising interwoven backstory that is slowly revealed.
Great attention to detail throughout, I cannot recommend this book more highly, can’t wait for the next in the series.

[Dawn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Being a huge fan of Tee O'Fallon I was eagerly waiting for this release.
It's book one in a new series and it doesn't disappoint.
This book is full of intrigue, suspense, spice and a truly great plot.
The characters of Gina and Jack grabbed me right from the beginning. Yes they're the main characters but that's not to day the others take a back seat because they don't. Tee does an amazing job with character building...you admire Gina's friends, you hate Tino, you cheer for the survivors. It's a truly great read.
I was honored to read an advance copy...so go, preorder it. Buy it, add it to your collection you won't be sorry.

[Jessica Cerqueira · Rating 5 out of 5]

Perfect Vengenace is a blend of suspense, action, and romance with all the feels.

Jack and Gina are on opposite sides of the law but it doesn't matter when you have undeniable chemistry. Their meet-cute is so original and they have an instant attraction that can't be ignored no matter how much they try to. The way their relationship builds and how he protects her so fiercely even at the risk of his own life and job is pure perfection.

Tee does an exceptional job explaining all that goes on with investigations that makes it easy to understand and follow along.

You'll find yourself so immersed in this story that before you know it, you'll be at the end and wishing the second book was available.

Thank you to Tee O' Fallon for a copy of this ARC!

[Meghan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Jack and Gina — what a pair! Their first meeting is anything but ideal, yet it becomes life-altering for both. This story has a touch of Robin Hood meets The Princess Bride: Gina’s driven by vengeance but secretly uses her ill-gotten gains to help women in need, while Jack can’t ignore the pull he feels toward her—or the sense that she’s hiding more than she lets on.

The character development and weaving of story threads are both detailed and engaging. Jack’s brothers, mother, partner, and even his fish add warmth and humor that make the story shine. The ending wasn’t exactly a surprise, but the action and emotional intensity made it a memorable and satisfying conclusion.

[Rosa · Rating 5 out of 5]

I LOVED this book! Perfect Vengeance is the perfect blend of romance, suspense, and action, with tiny bits of humor interjected in just the right places to balance out the intense moments. The banter between Jack, Gina, and Gina’s “band of merry women” is entertaining to read. Ms. O’Fallon’s knowledge of law enforcement brings a realistic slant to the plot. The romance is steamy, and the suspense and action will keep you on the edge of your seat and turning the pages so quickly you’ll reach the last page before you’re ready for the story to end.

[Maggie · Rating 4 out of 5]

As stated in the blurb, Gina is out for vengeance after the mob destroyed her family. As for Jack, he has his reasons for wanting to capture the mob’s most notorious leader.

First, I liked the Robin Hood idea. Not only is Gina getting her vengeance, but she’s also helping women claim a better life through the money she steals. She also has a group of friends who aid her. But when attempting to steal from the mob, she encounters someone who turns out to be Jack.

Oh, How Wonderfully Complicated!!

Gina is a modern-day Robin Hood. Stealing from the rich (usually the mob) and giving to the women’s center. He is Special Agent Jack Gates, working on the FBI’s Organized Crime Strike Force Team. They cross paths in a closet. She is mid-theft, he is collecting evidence. Her theft will ruin this location and his case.

Definitely opposites, a complicated connection neither are aware of at first, and chemistry off the charts. A fast-paced, entertaining and smoking hot read.

What does the FBI & thief have in common? Vengeance! You hit the road running as Jack & Gina meet in the most awkward yet hair rising situation. Stuck between a rock & a hard place, you see both tumble unexpectedly into each other. You will adore the grumpy Jack showing a soft side as he embraces love. Enjoy the action, danger, banter, snark, quirky indulgences & family that these characters bring. It gets hot, heavy & emotionally messy! Fabulous!

Warning: prepare to hit the floor running with this book. So many strong characters, men and women. Strong themes -- FBI wins and past losses, family past and present, mafia, abuse and so much more. I could not put it down (seriously). A page turner at its best. Absolutely loved the good guys and gals.

While this wasn't my favourite book by this author, it was still a really good way to kick off a series.
Normally it's the male main characters that irk me in books, but this time it was all her.
Despite that the plot with twists kept me glued to the pages.
I'm definitely looking forward to the next book in the series, the author has set it up well.

[Cathy Brockman · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is pretty good suspense.
What I liked?
The enemies to lovers,
The suspense,
The Robin hood type story
Women thieves
Grumpy sunshine.
Fun characters.

What I didn't love?
Basically it's pretty predictable and a basic romantic suspense.

Still a fun,interesting read.
Be aware there is torture on page and talk of murder and abuse if you have triggers.
