This title popped up on one of the many sites I follow, and upon seeing Elle Kennedy, I clicked. I read the blurb(don't know why I bothered)and one-clicked this. I started reading it, and didn't put it down except to briefly go into work(thought about All Fired Up the whole time) until I was finished.The premise is hysterical. Three former Army Rangers have formed an event planning company that focuses primarily on men trying to impress their ladies with a dream date. The boys (Dean, Jack and Parker, our hero) have a unique approach to their date planning. They put an Army spin on it. They do recon, surveillance, etc. Didi, their admin, keeps them on the straight and narrow by making them recite "the rules" each time they go undercover. The guys take service to a whole 'nother level.Our intrepid planners are also quite the ladies men. Until the man Lynn is dating tries to hire the guys to set up a date, and Parker does recon and ends up not knowing what hit him. Lynn knocks Parker completely on his behind, yet she is the client's date...moral dilemma.Lynn dumps the client, and she and Parker end up meeting up...and things happen...with Dean (! HAWT), then Lynn and Parker start dating. Oh, my word, these two are so good together. Parker makes Lynn feel confident and secure, allowing her to really explore her sensual side. Lynn helps Parker relax a little, and watching him fall so helplessly for her was a real treat. There is nothing I love more than a hero who is undone by his shero, and Parker is completely undone, and happy about it.The secondary characters in All Fired Up were marvelous. From Lynn's bff, Suz, to Dean and Jack...I am so excited for their stories.I am a lonnngggg time fan of Elle Kennedy's work, and All Fired Up encompassed all the things I enjoy about her writing. Realistic, occasionally bumbling characters who are so much fun to get to know. Her writing style is warm and rich and steaming hot! Imminently readable. I have not read any of Ms. Arend's work prior to All Fired Up, but will be checking out her titles.Bottom line - I loved this! So much! Parker and Lynn were sweet, and hawt, and funny...Oh, I just loved All Fired Up! Time and money extremely well spent! Highly recommend!
