Love for his father makes a man weak – what’ll happen when he gives his heart to a woman?When Special Agent Finnegan O’Reilly gets shot, and the news brings on his father’s heart attack, he decides to take leave from further undercover assignments. The O’Reilly has suffered enough and Finn can’t be the cause of more distress for this beloved old rascal. Then his boss forces one more case on him – … case on him – to take place in their own pub. Acting as the target to expose serial, suicide killers rampaging through New York City, Finn must play the part of a wife-beater, a cheating husband and an all-time jerk. No problem, until he meets his make-believe wife.
Renée Knight enjoys her job as a New York City cop. Her disguises have become a permanent fixture in her life, and no one knows what she really looks like. Except for the father she loves fiercely… the man, whose suicide makes no sense. If it means going undercover in an Irish pub where the culprits hang out, she’s their girl. Playing the wife of the bar owner to catch the killers—easy. But they never intend for her to fall for this guy, she does this all on her own. Now she has to hire the assassins to arrange his suicide. Can she catch them, before they complete the mission?

Mimi Barbour has a way of making you fall in love with her characters, especially the “Joker”, the old man in the story. She defines her characters with such outrageous quirks, like a heroine who wears wigs!
Plenty of action and suspense mixed in with the satisfying romance for a fun and endearing couple! I truly wanted to read more about this couple after the story ended.
I love watching relationships build from sheer disgust to ‘how did I not see you were so hot’ in the course of reading a book. This was one of them. The leading lady can hide in plain sight, but her foil has her figured out…or does he. Entertaining and fast-paced!
Special Agent Finnegan (Undercover FBI Book 2) by Mimi Barbour is a read that will have
you on the edge of your seat. I enjoyed the first book and Mimi did not let me down with this
second book in the series. What happens when a sexy Irish FBI agent is partnered up with a
cop who has a love of disguises? I love the quirkiness that Mimi installs to her characters
and they make for some funny and explosive moments. With plenty of action, thrills and
spills and romance for our characters this is one journey you will enjoy whilst they try to find
the killers wreaking havoc in their town.
This is the second book in the Undercover FBI series and was well written. Renee and Finnegan have sizzling chemistry. Their banter was hilarious at times to read. This has action, danger, a serial rapist and so much more. The characters are strong, protectors and you can’t help caring for them. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Another wonderful story in this series by Mimi Barbour. She writes stories with lots of heart, action and love. Finn is a strong and sensitive character. He feels things, and loves deeply. He is loyal and dedicated to the people in his life. Renee is a cop who is dedicated to to protecting people. She hates injustice and can’t help stepping in when she sees someone being hurt. The two get together to work on a case and can’t help but fall in love. Collin, Finn’s dad, is another character you will not be able to help falling in love with. A great page turning read with excellent characters.
Loving this series! This story is full of intrigue, it looks at abuse and the different aspects of helping people through difficult times. Finn and Renee work together in an undercover operation that is intriguing and action packed. Their chemistry sizzles. The story has wonderful deep characters and everyday heroes who stand up for those in need.
Great
Renee knew her dad wouldn’t kill himself and no one would listen to her. She is a undercover police officer for NYPD, her dad was FBI. Her honorary uncle Jack is FUN and be is Finn’s boss. They go undercover together in his bar to find the killers.
In so many ways, this series reminds me of a written version of the Lethal Weapon movies. There’s the heavy law enforcement presence, the silly, loving family and friends, and the twisty little mystery with lots of action and suspense. I love that Renée is so fierce and independent. What I love even more is that her tough outer shell hides a vulnerable heart with the consistency of gooey marshmallow. And Finnegan is her mirror image with his own tough-as-nails persona and gold-plated marshmallow heart. Even more than I loved watching this pair interact with each other, I adored seeing the time spent with their friends and family. Those connections are where this book really came alive for me.
Mimi has a great sense of humor, so even her most suspenseful books have that element of humor running through them. This Special Agent is a man, trying to take care of his father’s bar, and his father, while sparing with his female partner (who looks too young to be out of school).
What an incredible story. There are two undercover cops trying to flush out a serial killer who made the murders look like suicides. The plan is for the female cop to act as though she hates her husband (the male cop). That isn’t too hard to pull off because she is making him out to be a cheater and wife-beater. They play out these scenes in the man’s bar since that is where the killers appear to find their “clients”. They hope the woman will be contacted by the killers and make her an offer she won’t want to refuse – getting rid of her husband. Even though that puts her partner’s life in danger, they both know its part of the job.
I love police stories and especially undercover ones. But for the main characters to fall for each other when they have to act like they hate each other makes this story even better. This is a gripping suspense as well as a terrific romance. You can feel the emotions in this book. Especially the love between the main characters and the strong affection Finn and his dad have for each other.
If you like romantic suspense, you won’t want to miss this book.
