The only man she wants in her life is her old Gramps, and all he wants is a grandchild. Special Agent Charli Madison can’t get a break. After the stress of her last horrific assignment, all she wants is to spend time vacationing with her Gramps in Fort Lauderdale, a city they both love. Plans go awry, and she’s forced into witness protection, guarding a teenage girl who’s the only person able to … person able to identify a notorious killer.
To make matters worse, she has to accept the womanizing local FLPD Major as her fictitious fiancé and her backup on the dangerous mission.
Heaven knows, she doesn’t deserve this mess…
Blake Sebastian is tired of his role as lover for the women who hang around him in droves. Problem is – he doesn’t trust any of them with his heart, never mind with his future.
When pushed, he admits to the curly-headed, disapproving FBI agent under his jurisdiction, a man can get sick of so much sugar. Every so often, he needs a little sour to offset that much sweetness.
Charli was not impressed.

This has great characters and storyline. Special Agent Charli just finished her undercover work and is suppose to be relaxing with her grandfather. A young girl is in danger after she witnessed a murder. This has suspense, romance and so much more.
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.
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.
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 Charlie is the 6th book in the Undercover FBI series by Mimi Barbour. It is a fantastic romantic crime thriller. Each book in this series is a complete separate story, a standalone. You can read the books in any order. I had not previously read any of the other books in this series but after reading this one, I’ll certainly go back and read the rest. This crime thriller grabbed me from the very first page and didn’t let go until the very end. There are so many twists and turns, and total surprises that you just can’t put this book down.
Having just finished a gruelling undercover case FBI special agent Carolina Madison (Charli) is looking forward to a relaxing holiday with her beloved grandpa. When her neighbour, 14 year old Alicia is witness to a shooting Charli is forced into witness protection with Alicia (now named Kayla). Once in witness protection, Police major Blake Sebastian is put in charge of Charli and Kayla. Blake is gorgeous and a total ladies man. Although Charli finds him attractive he totally rubs her up the wrong way and she wants nothing to do with him.
As they continue to work together to keep Kayla safe, as killer Dylan Ross is getting closer and is killing anyone who gets in his way, Charli and Blake then struggle to deal with the growing attraction to each other.
This story will keep you gripped throughout. The tension really ramps up as the killer gets closer and closer to discovering Kayla and Charli’s whereabouts.
I would thoroughly recommend this book. It is action packed, thrilling and has the added element of romance thrown in.
Special Agent Charli- Mimi Barbour
4-stars
Special Agent Charli by Mimi Barbour is the 6th book in the Undercover FBI series. This also happens to be my first book in this series and by this author, so I can honestly say that it can be read as a standalone as I was able to jump right in with no confusion.
This crime romance read made for the perfect car ride read. It’s detailed and had enough action and intrigue to keep me engaged the whole way through. I enjoyed Charli’s character, she seemed so relatable even with her intimidating career. Although her grandpa was my absolute favorite character. He was one feisty old man who added some humour to the story!
I will certainly be going back to read the previous books of this series!
Special Agent Charli is the sixth book in the Undercover FBI series. It can be read as a standalone. I’m going to be honest, I had a challenge reading parts of this book. The first few chapters were great and had me hooked, but then it kind of dragged a little toward the middle. I had a hard time staying connected to the Charli character once they went into hiding. It picked up again toward the end though. I think the grandfather character and the girl Charli is protecting carried the book. The grandfather creates the quirky comic relief and the girl gives it the heart connection. Overall it was a good read.
Special Agent Charli (Undercover FBI Book 6)
By Mimi Barbour
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.
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.
Special Agent Charli by Mimi Barbour is a five star novel. This book hits you right in the heart from the very beginning. We are introduced to Kayla who is treated poorly by her foster family and only wanted her around so they had a built in babysitter for their other children.

Then after Kayla gets the younger kids to sleep, she decides to use the off limits binoculars to see what she could see out the window. In a high rise building, there is a lot to see. When she focuses in on the building directly across from hers, she sees something she never thought she would see. And now, she is sure the bad man is out to get her now. She races down the hall to see Caroline, who Kayla knows is a special agent. Now she has to keep Kayla safe while also trying to catch the biggest case of her career.
Special Agent Charli by Mimi Barbour
Four Stars
I can’t come to terms on how people can do such terrible things and show no remorse. In protective custody Alicia has begun to shine. Coming from a awful foster home this life is perfect. Except for the fact that a assassin is after her. Charli is a capitol bad word. She is judgmental and unprofessional. There is a way to be a loner without being negative to everyone. From jump she did not like Blake and yes it was off putting the way he was with the women. But he’s a bachelor I would be worried if he wasn’t taking advantage of the offerings. It’s not like he is cheating on a girlfriend or wife. She definitely had balls though. She sucked in her fear and handled every scare and situation. This story was long but very informative. There were some spots that could be been left out. But I also think that it added character to the scenes.
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.
Do not let Undercover FBI Book 6 fool you, Special Agent Charlie can be read as a stand-alone book. Mimi Barbour is an outstanding author who has gain another fan. She intrigued my interest when the characters were introduced to me. Her characters are fully developed and I felt like I was there with them. The story is told from several different point-a-views. Charlie is an awesome agent who is need of a vacation, but no she has to take a witness and protect her. She had seen a murder and is the only one who could pick him out. Charlie takes her own Poppa John. Jacob is a fellow officer who is there to help Charlie. This story will keep you guessing throughout the book. It is fast read but make sure you are paying attention or else you may miss some clues. Now to go back and read other Undercover FBI stories.
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 🙂
This novel pulled me in right from the very start unable to set my kindle down til the very end. I love how it was a mix of romance and thriller, there was so much action that it kept me at the edge of my seat it certainly is a page turner. You will find yourself captivated by the storyline there are so many twists and turns along the way it’s sure to keep you on your toes. The chemistry between Charli and Blake was intense and i enjoyed seeing them grow throughout the novel. An enjoyable read i highly recommend.
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!
5 Star
Special Agent Charli (Undercover FBI book 6) by Mimi Barbour is book six in the Undercover FBI series. Ive read other books by this author and I love her attention to detail. I had a hard time putting it down once I started reading. She never ceases to amaze me with her writing. I love the character of Charli and this is my favorite book this far. I recommend this book and can’t wait to read more from this author.
Special Agent Charli by Mimi Barbour is the sixth book in the Undercover FBI is the story of Charli and Blake.
Charli has just come off a intense case and needs some downtime, where best to has a well earned rest is to visit and stay with her Gramps. The only trouble is as soon as she gets there a case comes in which she is assigned to but she needs to help a young girl who is in witness protection. When she arrives she finds that she has been assigned to the biggest womaniser in the station and the kicker is she has to pretend they are a couple, will she survive this assignment.
Blake has his fair share of attractive lady following him around the only trouble is he has not found the right woman to let into his heart, but all may change on this assignment. Charli takes no prisoners especially with Blake but maybe that sassy nature in this woman may break the seal on his heart.
This story was full of action, thrills and spills and running through a great story which will have you hooked. The characters were rich and blended together beautifully, Charli and Blake’s chemistry was just off the page. I love the character of Charli’s gramp’s as well as his conversation where just brilliant. Although this is part of a series this book can be read as a stand alone, I would recommend this whole series if you have not read it yet.
