Review:
After terrorists raid her office looking for a rare book, Bridget enters Jack Bristow's custody (and develops an unrequited, but hilarious, crush on him). Together they have to rescue Sydney from Sark's custody.

This story couldn't be more fun if it tried. The tone is a perfect imitation of the books, with the time of day, weight, cigarette counts, random observations, and just everything. Bridget's banter with an annoyed Jack is gold, but my favorite part is when she meets up with Sydney for some girly good times. The author's Bridget voice is perfect, but even more, the pacing (with fast-and-furious diary writing, as well as how the plot progresses) is ace.
