Special Agent Charli (Undercover FBI Series Book 6) by Mimi Barbour – Review by Robin Rankin

Special Agent Charli (Undercover FBI Book 6)Special Agent Charli by Mimi Barbour
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Special Agent Charli is the sixth book in the Undercover FBI series by Mimi Barbour. I’m not sure how I missed this first five in this series but I did. Luckily this one at least is a standalone.

Charli is amazing, there is just no other way to describe her. For starters she is an FBI agent, plus she has a heart of gold and the worlds best Grandfather.

Blake finds his way to the life he is meant to have. He has accomplished a lot on his professional career with the police department but his personal life is not satisfactory.

I loved Poppa John and wish I had been lucky enough to be as close to my Grandfather.

This is the first book I have read by this author but it won’t be the last.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Special Agent Charli was a great 5 star read and book 6 in the Undercover FBI series.
This is a great romantic thriller and my first read from Mimi Barbour, she pulled me right in.

Charli was great, she had some sassiness to her. She was looking forward to a long vacation when Alicia shows up at her door begging for help. Alicia has witnessed a murder and now he’s coming for her. Charli is asked to go into witness protection to take care of Alicia and keep her safe.

Blake is quite the ladies man and when put in charge of Charli and Alicia he finds himself attracted to Charli. He knew just how to push Charli’s buttons. Charli found Blake very handsome and she felt some attraction, but there was also something about him that annoyed her.

These two played off each other, the bantering was great. Charli has some very big walls built up, can Blake break them down? Can they find the killer before its too late?

The secondary characters added a great element to the story. I loved Gramps, he was great and I had several lol moments with him. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was coming next. This was an action packed thriller and I can’t wait to read more from this author. It can be read as a stand alone.

Special Agent Charli, Book 6 in the Undercover FBI Series by Mimi Barbour
4 out of 5 Stars

This author is new ot me, and this is the fiirst book in this series that i picked up to read, however, they can be read as a standalone, so there is no loss of book for not reading the previous 5.
When you think FBI, you think intrigue and thrill. That is exactly what you get from this book. This book started off with a bang through a double barrel gun. That poor baby made my heart clench and it yanked at my heart strings so hard that I almost started to sob.

Enter Charli, a no-nonsense, tough as nails, take no crap FBI agent. She is all set for a much needed vacation vacation with Poppa John, her sassy, yet Lovable grandpa, when her plans are derails and she is called in to protect Alicia, a young girl who has witnessed a murder.

Blake is going to be her support, her coworker and undercover cop who has a love em and leave em philosophy, and with his adonis looks and charming attitude, it was an easy gig, but after spending time with Charli and Alici, he is finding that his past lifestyle, may no longer be his preferred lifestyle

I loved this book. It is fast paced, but not where you felt that you are left in the dust. The suspense and the romance are just enough to keep you going and turning the page. Highly recommended.

Special Agent Charli by Mimi Barbour is the sixth book in the Undercover FBI Series. I was pulled in from the first page of the story and did not stop reading till I finished the book. I did not want it to end. The writing flows with ease and it is very engaging. The story has a bit of everything from suspense, action, mystery and love for family. The characters are well developed, very real and were easy to connect with and understand. The secondary characters were perfectly written in the story and fit right in. I highly recommend Special Agent Charli.

Special Agent Charli (Undercover FBI Book 6)
By Mimi Barbour
This is the first book I have read by this author and in I’m ecstatic I did!!! I was captivated from the start and this story kept me entertained throughout its entirety. I loved the chemistry between Charli and Blake. Oh how I wish I had a grandpa like Charli’s. There is plenty of action while these two are protecting a teenager named Alicia, who is troubled herself. I don’t want to give anything away but this book is a must read. There was so much emotion throughout this wonderfully told story.I haven’t read the other books in this series and I had no problem following what was going on, so you don’t need to have read the others, but after reading this I am definitely going to go read the others in this series. This book is that good that I am now a forever fan of this author!! I highly recommend reading this book.

Rated 5 stars

This is a very good story! It drew me in from the beginning and didn’t let go. I loved the suspense, the thrill and the fun. While this has a bunch of characters the main ones take the stage. Charli is one kick butt agent! She impressed me numerous times throughout the story. She is very strong and a bit hard. Also the love she has for her Poppa John was something I could feel when she saw and talked to him. Blake is a womanizer. I really didn’t give him much credit especially after the airport scene. As the story moved forward he slowly crawled under my skin. By the end I was as enamored with him as the girls. The main comedic/relief was Poppa John. He made everyone look at themselves a bit different and has some good stories. He really helped pull this away from being too serious. The girls were just sweethearts. Lonely and alone they blossomed when they had someone love them.

This is not a first time author for me. But this is the first in this series and I really didn’t know what I was missing. Now I do and as this is the 6th book in the series i see i have others to read. Thanks for a fun, entertaining and easy to read story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Special Agent Charli (Undercover FBI Book 6) by Mimi Barbour is the first book I’ve read by this author. It was fantastic.

I enjoyed the way the characters were set up. There is obviously something that has happened to “Charli” in the past and yet I didn’t feel slighted not knowing exactly what it was because of the way the story unfolded. There is no question as to who the good guys and the bad guys are in this story. In addition to the mystery of the story (nothing like a good witness protection story) I also loved the overall message of the story that EVERYONE is worthy to be loved. The younger characters really pulled at my heart strings and I hope they get their own story in the future. I bet they go on to do amazing things in this world.

The story moves along quickly, I was able to read it in one sitting and while it had some steamy parts, there weren’t so many that it made them gratuitous. The word count in the story is perfect. It was a great book to snuggle down with on a chilly Sunday afternoon (it was a beautiful sunny afternoon and I should have been outside, but the book was soooo good that I didn’t want to put it down.)

The dedication of the story and knowing that one of the characters is modeled after such an important person made me smile and wish I had such a relationship in my life.

I will begin “following” the author to see what other stories they have written. 5 stars for an enjoyable book.

Special Agent Charli (Undercover FBI Book 6) by Mimi Barbour is a wonderful story that I enjoyed reading. It is a mystery, drama, thriller with a little romance thrown in and just enough to keep you enthralled and wanting to know what comes next. I fell in love with the characters especially Charli’s grandfather who made me laugh and was based on Mimi’s own grandfather. I loved the banter and sarcasm between the characters which also had me laughing. There were equally moments when my heart bled for them as well and I just wanted to scoop them all up and bring them home. The story flowed well and was well paced and definitely engaging. This is one story that is well worth your time to read. I am looking forward to reading more from Ms Mimi.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The only thing that stopped me from giving this book 5 stars was the fact that I missed where the main characters fell in love. I wouldn’t know to tell what exactly happens between Charli and Blake. If it was insta -love or if it came gradually. Suddenly they just love each other. And it’s a shame because they are deep characters and I wanted that moment as out there as possible. Charli has such a big heart and so much love to share that only someone like Blake could open her eyes. Blake, who ironically has been a womanizer all his life.

A story about forgiving youself, Charli ‘s case, about second chances, Kayla & Angie, and about believing that not all red heads are the same, right Blake?!?! As for Poppa John? I simply love him, thank you for your wisdom 🙂

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Special Agent Charli By Mimi Barbour was a great suspenseful 5 Star read for me. Not typically a fan of suspense but this book grabbed by attention from the very beginning. The book was well written and captivated the reader right away.

FBI Agent Carolina Madison just finished a long grueling case undercover and was due for a month long peaceful vacation. She had plans to visit Fort Lauderdale and have her Poppa John come visit for a bit. Her plans changed in the blink of an eye.

A neighbor down the hall witnessed something she shouldn’t have. Alicia is a minor who is currently living in horrific conditions. She was taken in by a couple who doesn’t even care for her. Now that her life is in danger, she needs to be put into witness protection and will only agree of Carolina is the one lookin after her.

The two change their names and looks and escape to another state in search of safety until the perp is captured. Carolina ( Charli ) isnt ready for all that happens when she agrees to keep Alicia ( Kayla ) safe. Everyone lives are threatened while some innocent lives are lost.

Blake Sebastian, Major with the FLPD is letting the two Charli and Kayla stay at his place. Blake is very good looking and he likes to have a good time with female company. He tries to get Charli’s attention but, she doesn’t give in easily. This book had me flipping the pages quickly and couldn’t wait to see what happens with the main characters. Perfect ending to a great book!

I give Special Agent Charli (Undercover FBI Book 6) by Mimi Barbour, 5 stars.

Charli just got off a very stressful undercover assignment that came close to breaking her. She has been approved to take a month-long vacation to unwind and get herself back together. She is in no frame of mind to take on another case. But when a girl comes to her begging for help, she can’t say no. And when the girl needs to go into witness protection, she will only go if Agent Charli goes with her. Again Charli cannot say no to this girl, as much as she wants to. This leads her to Florida and the local police agent Blake Sebastian. Her cover is the fiance of this womanizing cop. She doesn’t need another man in her life. But how does he seem to charm his way into her life? And will they be able to keep this frightened girl safe?

This was an incredible book. I have not read this series before and had no idea what to expect. I can understand where Charli is at in the beginning of the book. She is mentally burned out. She needs a relaxing vacation. But at the same time, she cannot risk this girl’s life. Blake is also an engaging character. He is the stereotypical playboy, until he meets his match in Charli. The story is captivating – besides the possible romance between these two, there is plenty of suspense. There are multiple things going on in here, not just catching the bad guy and watching the romance try to bloom. I was on the edge of my seat until the end.

I absolutely loved this book and highly recommend it to those lovers of romantic suspense.

Five Stars

Special Agent Charli is the sixth book in the Undercover FBI series by Mimi Barbour. This is the first book I have read by Ms. Barbour, but I plan to go back and read the first five books in this series. This story had me hooked from the very first page. I couldn’t put it down and it kept me up well into the night, but it was definitely worth the loss of sleep.
FBI Agent Charli was looking forward to a vacation with her gramps, but when those plans go awry and she ends up taking care of a teenager in the witness protection program with a new partner. Things heat up with Blake as they try to solve the murder.
This book is filled with action, adventure, mystery and romance. It is in the top five reads I have read this year. If you are looking for a good mystery with romance thrown in, this is the book for you.

Special Agent Charli (Undercover FBI Book 6) by Mimi Barbour. While this is book 6 it can be read as a standalone without any questions or confusion. From page I was drawn into this story. Charli’s character is one that I immediately took a liking to, she’s a bit different than normal female main characters. A bit of a tougher nut to crack as she’s built walls high. All the characters in this story brought something unique and different to the story, even ones that I didn’t click with immediately still warmed their way into my heart by the end. They mystery of the story is well written and paced nicely, definitely left me on the edge of my seat more than once. I read this as a standalone but I definitely can’t wait to read the other in this series. I’m giving this book a five star review and highly recommend it to everyone.

Special Agent Charli by Mimi Barbour is the sixth installment of the Undercover FBI series. This story is a suspenseful, romance thriller which can be read as a standalone. With the scene in the first chapter, I was completely hooked into the storyline and couldn’t stop reading to find out what would happen. This is the story of Charli Madison and Blake Sebastian. Charli is an undercover FBI agent that is getting ready to leave on vacation when she ends up involved in a protection detail of a young girl that witnesses a crime. In comes Blake, also a law enforcement officer that will assist her during the protection order. Blake reeks of Alpha male all over, he is a ladies man and seems to be getting Charli’s attention but not in a good way. They need to set aside the tension between them to make sure the killer does not succeed in getting to the protected witness. While protecting the young witness, will Blake be able to get into Charli’s heart? Will they both succeed in catching the killer on the loose? This story had me on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading. Both main characters had so much tension and chemistry that is was bouncing of the walls. I highly recommend this story and look forward to reading the other books from this series.

☆☆☆☆☆
Let take a suspenseful story and throw in some crazy romance. While we try and stay a head.

Charli works for the FBI, and she is good at her job. But… She has just finished with a serious case. She needs a vacation and she is about to go. Just her and her grandfather, at their favorite spot. In comes the knock and the begging, crying and scared child.

Mimi Barbour has written this story and included some antidotes to bring the story full circle. Her characters are so real, and her explanations are frightening. While I read this in the middle of the night, it did not stop me from hearing every little noise. I love this story! The case has some true to life examples. That will keep you turning those pages. I will continue to seek more from this author.

This may be book six in a series, but it was a stand alone. Charli is in need of a break she never gets, because she’s needed by a teen who needs saving in more than one way. Between Charli, a couple teenagers, Blake the player, and Gramps, this odd group goes through some pretty intense moments. It’s nice how they all find what they have been missing in one another. While the love scenes didn’t really start my fire (just could have flowed better, or used better terms), the action, suspense, and story were really good. It was an enjoyable read.

5 Stars

Special Agent Charli is the sixth book in the Undercover FBI series by Mimi Barbour. I have read a few of her books now and she never fails to deliver a wonderful story that captivates me right from the beginning. I particularly loved this book, not just because the story was superbly written, full of intrigue, mystery, suspense, romance, sizzle, and some drama. But because the characters were just so incredibly endearing (well, except for the killer)- these characters really are the jewels in this story- they were so lovingly crafted into fully realised individuals with their own personalities, quirks and flaws. I was immediately invested in them and this fantastic story. I was so hooked, that I devoured the whole thing in one sitting. I could feel that the author put a lot of her heart and soul into this story and I feel the love she has for her own Poppa John, he is one of the best characters I have read. I just loved him, and even though he is a ‘supporting’ character, he really added something special to the overall storyline. Because of him, the story was sweeter, more emotional, tender and touching than it would have been without him. Don’t get me wrong, Charli, Blake, Alicia/Kayla, Angie, Star, and the rest of the cast are brilliant, and I loved them all- but Poppa John just elevated the whole story for me! There is a wonderful ‘feel good quality to the storyline because of him and the characters and their connection….
There were quite a few funny, lighter moments that helped to balance some of the more intense, heart wrenching and dramatic elements of the storyline. The funny quips and banter had me smiling like an idiot or laughing out loud.
The story is told from several perspectives, which helps to give a more in-depth view of the whole thing.
This isn’t my first book of Ms. Barbour’s, but it is definitely my favourite, so far! I am really looking forward to the next book!

Thank you, Ms. Barbour!

Charli is only one upped by her gramps, who is amazing, so very very funny. The chemistry between Charli and Blake will make you sizzle.

Mimi Barbour’s Special Agent Charli is the sixth book in the Undercover FBI series. This is the first book that I have read within this suspense series and it was a page-turner. The story immediately dives in and captures your full focus. The author does a firm job of detailing the characters from their personalities, traits and distinct characteristics. Charli is a take charge woman on the verge of something and her world does a 180 degree turn taking her out of her comfort zone and placing her on a path she’s unsure she can handle or control. Adding Blake into the dynamic, all bets are off as personalities clash, emotions flair and chemistry leaks loose. This story fully engulfed me as I read through the chapters – one of those novels that just won’t let go until you finish.
