Since James Bowen married Elle Cooper’s sister, tall dark and handsome Jack Copeland has become a permanent fixture in Elle’s life. A silent, rather annoying fixture, with his arrogant aloofness and my-way-or-the-highway attitude rubbing her the wrong way. So she does what any self-respecting woman would: aggravate the wits out of him for fun.
Party girl Elle Cooper is everything covert operative Jack Copeland doesn’t want in a woman. Outspoken, sassy. A smartass. Too bad when he closes his eyes, all his mind conjures is her. To everyone else, he comes off as intimidating and unapproachable. Everyone except Elle. So he does what any self-respecting man would: stay the hell away from her. But when Elle gets herself in deep trouble, all of Jack’s protective instincts kick in and keeping his distance is no longer an option.
With Jack and Elle in such close proximity, sparks are flying all over and it’s only a matter of time before they ignite. The only question is, who will kill Elle first, the vicious drug cartel hunting her or Jack?
Review
I absolutely love this series – the Bowen brothers are alpha sexy, so it makes sense that their friends would be as well, and Jack, or as Elle likes to call him “Borg,” is even more stubborn and dominant than the Bowens, which may seem like a recipe for disaster given the fact that Elle is an independent and feisty woman who can give Jack a run for his money in all aspects of his life, but she actually is his perfect match, and when her life is in danger, Jack and Elle realize that their idea of what’s “perfect” for them is anything but.
I’ve always only seen Elle as Tate’s sassy sister; a woman who has a smart ass comment for everything and is a worldwind of crazy, chaos, and fun. But in Jacked Up, readers see beyond Elle’s party girl facade and understand the pain and guilt she feels for being the girl who always ran away from responsibility. There’s a lot more to Elle than what she allows those around her to see, and when she has no other choice but to allow Jack Copeland to protect her, he strips away her barriers and sees the grieving woman she is and he can’t help but give into the feelings he’s always had for her but never felt safe to act on due to his job, her attitude, and his perception on what he wants in a woman.
Jack definitely comes off as a brash asshole who seems to always be in a bad mood but given the type of work he does, it makes sense that assimilating back into “normal” life would be trying and given the fact that Jack is used to calling the shots and intimidating those around him for Elle to not back down from him and to piss him off as much as turn him on, his attitude towards her is realistic.
Jack and Elle’s relationship is one that has a bevy of sexual tension, power struggles and unending torment, and while most people would find this type of connection unhealthy, it seems to work for them because their banter and arguments make them that much hotter for each other and turns into a connection that may not be anything they would have thought they wanted but it’s exactly what keeps them coming back to one another for more.
Elle Aycart is an amazing writer who knows exactly what her readers want, and she gives it all to them in a wonderfully crafted, steamy, and suspenseful read.

About the Author
Facebook | Twitter | Website | Goodreads
After a colorful array of jobs all over Europe ranging from translator to chocolatier to travel agent to sushi chef to flight dispatcher, Elle Aycart is certain of one thing and one thing only: aside from writing romances, she has abso-frigging-lutely no clue what she wants to do when she grows up. Not that it stops her from trying all sorts of crazy stuff.
While she is probably now thinking of a new profession, her head never stops churning new plots for her romances. She lives currently in Barcelona, Spain, with her husband and two daughters, although who knows, in no time she could be living at the Arctic Circle in Finland, breeding reindeer.
