I hate to give this only 3 stars because I LOVE this series and Jacky is so endearing; only she wasn't in this one. She was self-centered. Poor Jaime! Normally I love Jacky because even though she is flirty and over enthusiastic and all that, she is still fiercely loyal but she was not loyal in this one; not to Jamie or the brotherhood or anyone! To be honest for the past few books I kind of feel that as much as I love Jacky, Jaime could do better. He deserves better than what she can provide him and honestly they just don't go well together as a couple anymore. They have drifted apart. It seems to me that they can never be together because the author feels that Jacky can't truly be herself and have adventures if he is around and if this is the case than she shouldn't be marring him in the first place! The adventures in this installment was a little too over the top for me and the pacing was very fast. All in all, this is my least favorite one so far.Product details

Viva Jacquelina! Bloody Jack Book 10 (Audible Audio Edition) L A Meyer Katherine Kellgren Inc Listen Live Audio Books Reviews
That I have read this book three times should say it all. But that would not be enough, all you avid readers take heed, if you wish to be addicted. Bewitched I have read the whole jacky Faber series at least three times and some of the series six times. Now that truly says it all.
One of the best in the series. I laugh just thinking about it. I have read most of the books in this series 2 if not 3 times.
The continued saga of Jacky Faber is just as exciting as the first novel was. I feel like you are there with Jacky on each and every adventure she goes on; fighting her fights and dancing to her music. This is definitely a page turner.
LA Meyer does it yet again, with another dazzling tale of Bloody Jack. Leaving off right where the last book of the series concluded, Viva Jacquelina! (Book 10) picks up with Jacky finding herself right in the middle of horrendous battle, with her longtime soul mate, Jamie, back in Burma. After an early causality, close to the heart of Jacky, in a very descriptive battle scene, she is reassigned as a spy in the great country of Spain. I personally have never visited this country before, but with all of the detail that LA Meyer puts into this novel, it felt like I was actually there, right along side of Jacky. She is sent to Spain to spy on Napolean's brother, King Joseph, for England, while getting a job for a local artist, named Goya. Here, Jacky quickly makes enemies with a Spanish woman named, Carmelita, who I personally believe just does not like her out of pure jealously. While in Spain, as always, numerous men are quickly drawn to Jacky, but she keeps reminding the reader that her heart is for one man, Jamie...well really two men, Jamie and Richard Allen. We hear from both men throughout the novel, with Richard being back in England and Jamie in Burma under the supervision and teachings of the beloved character, Chopstick Charlie, from the previous novel in this series, The Mark of the Golden Dragon.
While in Spain, of course, Jacky inadvertently finds herself in trouble and is forced to flee the humble house of the great artist, Goya. Jacky later finds herself in a pack of Spanish guerilla fighters and even in a band of gypsies. Will Jacky's charm and courageous fight help her out of these treacherous situations or will this be the end of our brave little pirate that once ruled the seas? Being in completely two different parts of the world, will Jacky and Jamie ever be reunited? All of these questions, plus so many more that you will have while reading this book will be answered before you turn that last page.
Just like any of the other novels from the Bloody Jack series, you could pick this book up and not be lost if you have not read any of the other novels in the series, but what fun would that be? This book, like the others, is packed full of adventure, suspense, action, and romance.
I am a middle school language arts teacher and I have numerous students that are hooked on this series, who I know can not wait to read this great book. This series is easily the most popular book in my classroom library - beating out The Hunger Games, Everlost, or The Lightning Thief series any day of the week. Like my students and myself, if you buy this book, I promise you, you will not be able to put it down until the very last page.
I was very surprised and not a little disappointed in VIVA JACQUELINA!, the tenth book of the otherwise thoroughly entertaining "Bloody Jack" series. I was expecting Jacky to be her usual adventurous self, knee deep in the murky waters of espionage with the accompanying narrow escapes from assorted ruffians and rogues. Unfortunately, there wasn't much in the way of spying for British Intelligence and Sir Arthur Wellesley in Spain during his Penninsular Campaign against Napoleon on the part of Miss Faber. The plodding middle section of the book made me think that the author had gotten a little lazy, or was he just disinterested in where the plot was headed and couldn't figure out how to get it back on track. I would have given this book 3 stars but the end picked up the pace and held my interest just as the other adventures Jacky has had did.
I do think, though, that she needs to be back aboard some ship, Mr. Meyer. The life you have given Jacky as a landlubber doesn't suit her.
Jacky's adventures continue! The trials she faces in this book are taken on by the young heroine with a smile and a stroke of special Jacky luck. One will enjoy this book in a continuation of the Bloody Jack adventures.
Jacky is the BEST!! I LOVED the parts that touch on reality and history, for instance, she works for Francisco Goya and participates in one of his famous paintings, which you can look up online or in art history books.....LA Meyer does a great job playing with this! This was one of the best of his latter books, not TOO much sex and misbehaviour.
I hate to give this only 3 stars because I LOVE this series and Jacky is so endearing; only she wasn't in this one. She was self-centered. Poor Jaime! Normally I love Jacky because even though she is flirty and over enthusiastic and all that, she is still fiercely loyal but she was not loyal in this one; not to Jamie or the brotherhood or anyone! To be honest for the past few books I kind of feel that as much as I love Jacky, Jaime could do better. He deserves better than what she can provide him and honestly they just don't go well together as a couple anymore. They have drifted apart. It seems to me that they can never be together because the author feels that Jacky can't truly be herself and have adventures if he is around and if this is the case than she shouldn't be marring him in the first place! The adventures in this installment was a little too over the top for me and the pacing was very fast. All in all, this is my least favorite one so far.
