All Jacked Up - FBI, Bk 1
Author: Penny McCall
A steamy debut that pits a book-smart beauty against a buff FBI agent. — Since Jack Mitchell barged into her life, librarian Aubrey Sullivan has been abducted at gunpoint, taken on a death-defying car chase, and kissed within an inch of madness. If only she does what he says, they might just get out of this mess alive. That is, if they can keep t...  more »

1st in a 'series' though each book features different main characters. Characters from prior and future books are mentioned are take part in a bit of the action so I'm calling it a series because of that.

This is the best of the 3 that are currently in print (IMO). The action is non-stop and it's also nonstop sarcasm the entire book. The woman is definitely spunky in this one! As in all 3 books there are serious bad buys 'behind the scenes' but the ones after them are funny/silly. So you have a serious theme with funny unbelievable characters thrown in.

I also enjoyed the endings of hers - they're 'happy' but not necessarily ending with the main couple waltzing down the aisle together or the woman 'needing' the man if that makes sense.

This was a good story I'd recommend if you like sarcasm and fast-paced storyline mixed with silly.

Entertaining story. Aubrey is a Librarian at the Library of Congress. She is kidnapped a gunpoint, by a man trying to save her life. They get into a lot of trouble, and fight the whole time, before they figure out who the bad guys are, and before they figure out they are crazy about each other. Good book.

The big stud entered the Library of Congress with his Glock out. He informs bookworm Aubrey with a B Sullivan to move it. She argues with him until bullets fly. He pushes her down to the floor and jumps on her to keep her safe only to have her argue even more until FBI Agent Jack Mitchell says he ought to leave her with the bad guys so her mouth will kill them. To keep her safe Jack has abducted her, but he concludes she must be a wacko as her reactions are all wrong; too logical and calm as she insists he kidnapped kidnapping her and he claims to have taken a bullet to save her life.

As she provides first aid to his wound, Jack explains that she has information on Pablo "the Butcher" Corona, cocaine king of the hemisphere. Aubrey says she is in protective custody, but Jack says no as he is being set up inside the agency to take the fall as his peers believe he is a mole working for Corona; they want him dead just like the thugs want her dead. To survive, she must recall what she knows so they can go public making her no longer a target and proving his innocence. However, as he admires her courage, he realizes one of childhood's enduring lessons is no one messes with the librarian even a psychopathic killer will learn this life tenet.

ALL JACKED UP is an amusing romantic suspense thriller starring a delightful pairing of two souls who are resourceful, do not understand mortality, and leave defeated bad guys all over the place. The chats between the Fed and the Librarian are humorous as she adapts to any scenario with aplomb. While Aubrey uses self-deprecating wit or tearing Jack's hide, fans of lighthearted romps will appreciate their fun bantering while battling to elude the Feds and to keep the Butcher from dining on either of them.

At first I thought this book had some fun and action. Then I got really annoyed with the main female character. She just seemed to be clueless and out to annoy everyone.

Also, there was so much action at the beginning and then towards the end it breezes through a few days that I thought would have action but then utimately jumps back into the action.

And the two main characters fall in love but you don't know how because they truly dislike each other and don't understand each other at all.

Not a bad read, just not at the top of my list.

This book was a fast paced, fun read.the chemistry betweens the characters was great. I like a little intrigue in my romance, and this had a great little mystery too. I stayed up way too late to finish!
