Julie really knows how to keep the fun coming with each new addition of the Lexi Carmichael Series. She's witty, and the characters are always relateable.

Love this series. In fact, I liked this so much, I bought to add to my collection. Can be read as a standalone.

Julie Moffett takes readers on a jungle adventure thriller with a little humor along the way. She is an amazing author who keeps her readers guessing what is coming next and laughing at the same time. She uses this book to enhance relationships between her characters and does not disappoint. Great read!

Another fantastic read by Julie Moffett! I can't get enough of the Lexi Carmicheal series and can't wait until the next one.

In this 12th novel, Lexi is trying to plan a wedding that will please her mother but before they can get married Lexi and Slash have to stop the theft of a vaccine. Watching Lexi and Slash work together is so refreshing. They are picking up on each other's strengths and watching their relationship grow is so much fun to read.

This was a great novel and I can't wait until the next!

Oh my gosh I love this series! It is a fun break from the typical murder mysteries I read. Lexi was her typical self, which meant a lot of unique situations where you just go "yup, that sounds about right for Lexi". I can't wait to read more of Lexi's adventures.

No Questions Asked has plenty of excitement and even a bit of romance. It is part of a series, but it easily stands on its own. The characters are likable and the story is fun and adventurous. I haven't had the pleasure of reading the earlier books in the series, but I'll certainly be looking them up now.

I love Lexi Carmichael and this story didn't disappoint me.
It's full of humour, actions packed and fun to read.
It was good to meet again the great cast of characters and the plot was well crafted and solid.
An excellent read, highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

Lexi and Slash are long time favorites of mine. Though I have to admit that this book started out a bit slow for me, it picked up and turned out fantastically. The setting was exotic and interesting, and the closeness between Lexi and Slash grew even deeper. I missed Basia and the twins since they were only briefly mentioned at the beginning, but I liked getting more of Gwen. I won't spoil the surprise near the end, but it was beyond fantastic! Everything turned out perfectly. I can't wait for more!

Net Galley provided an ARC for honest review.

This was my first book in the Lexi Carmichael series, but definitely not my last. This was a fun, fast paced thriller that keeps you guessing what will happen next. Lexi and Slash have to fly to the Brazilian rain forest to stop hackers from stealing a Malaria vaccine that could save millions of lives. While being put on the front lines, they are attacked, kidnapped and discover someone in their group is a trader. Hopefully they make it home in order to finish planning their wedding and can get married.

"I used to be an ordinary geek girl who worked at the NSA, liked crossword puzzles, chocolate eclairs, Doctor Who, and living my life online. But a series of events and people over the past year had changed all that. I made friends, found a new life outside my virtual one, got a boyfriend and then got engaged, saved the world a couple of times, and became tight with a little black cloud of trouble that wouldn’t seem to leave me alone."

Ominously timely!

While this is book twelve in the series, it's the first one I've read.  So let's get that out of the way right off the top.   Moffett does a good job of giving readers just enough background.  This is a great stand alone!  But it's intriguing enough that I'm sure most, like myself, will want to read the backlist too.

Lexi's "little black cloud" predictably follows her on her current assignment.  The resulting chaos, while it's nothing Lexi can't handle, makes her grateful that her fiancé was available to join her. 

Follow Lexi and Slash deep into the rainforest of Brazil as they come up against not only snakes and huge spiders, but corporate intrigue and corrupt government officials.

There's a lot to uncover as they fight for the good guys, and a couple of personal revelations in the mix as well.  Great characters and an intricate story line that keeps the pages turning.   Everything you want in a thriller with a soupçon of romance.

No Questions Asked is the 12th book in the AMAZING Lexi Carmichael Mystery series.
When I read this book , I felt like I was going on an amazing adventure with Lexi and Slash.
Its time for wedding planning and Slash has left it all to Lexi and her mom's crazy overbearing plans.
This is such a nightmare for Lexi, this is the last thing she wants to do.

Lexi trades in one disaster for another adventure headed to the Amazon to secure information on a malaria vaccine.

This book is filled with the action and writing perfection I have come to expect from Julie Moffett.
There are also some incredibly sweet moments.

I cannot say how much I love this series, and this is by far my favorite book so far!!!!

I enjoyed this book so much, I read it twice. I think that this is the best of the series, the level of growth in Lexi is amazing and who wouldn't want a relationship like Lexi's and Slash's. The book tackles the question of their wedding and answers the question in an unusually way. Lexi has to put up with the jungle once again. although with Slash this time. and all the normal problems bugs, snakes, pirates and drug runner, native tribesmen kidnapping and so many other problems. All through it Lexi and Slash work together and bond. even more. The ending with the surprise appearance of Slash's biological mother leaves a great question as to what part she will play in the future. I hope there's many more to come. #NoQuestionsAsked #NetGalley

Lexi is a master hacker and director for X-Corp, an intelligence and security company. She is engaged to Slash, who is a government agent and fellow hacker. Lexi and Slash just want a quiet wedding but that's not going to happen with her mother involved.

A non-profit company has invented a vaccine that could cure malaria and save many lives. They want to do test trials in the Brazil rain forest but someone is trying to stop that. It's suspected that someone is trying to hack into the company's system, steal the formula and get it into the market first. Lexi is known as one of the best in the business so is hired to find out who it is. Slash has been forced to take a vacation so goes along with Lexi and the rest of the team to Brazil. It's a welcome way to get away from all the wedding planning.

Of course, nothing goes smoothly and the team comes across drug runners, crooked government officials, pirates, kidnappers and more!

Though this is the twelfth (and latest) in the Lexi Carmichael series, it works as a stand alone. If you want to know the background, though, you should read the others. I've like the series and have read them all.

It is written in first person perspective from Lexi's point of view and third person perspective from Slash and other's points of view. I liked the writing style and there was humour. In addition to the usual hacking, there was lots of adventure around Brazil. It's been interesting to watch Lexi grow from being a geek with just one friend, no life and no social skills to not only having close friends, a fiancé with whom she is now living with, but also confidence.

Lexi Carmichael: saving scientists one snake at a time.

Weddings aren’t my thing—never have been. But eloping would break my mother’s heart, especially since the president of the United States put in a good word for me with his daughter’s wedding planner. I’m going to have the wedding of the year…whether I like it or not.

Before we can say I do, Slash and I are flying off to the Brazilian rain forest. Our mission: stop hackers from stealing a vaccine that could save millions of lives. I thought it’d be easy, but from the moment we step off the plane, I’m up to my neck in trouble.

After an attack by drug-runners, being kidnapped and discovering that the bad guy is even worse than we’d imagined, I’m pretty sure someone in our group is working for the enemy. And they’re succeeding. I’ll have to use all my geek skills to stop the bad guys if I’m going to make it home in time to tie that knot.

Exciting Adventure in Brazil's Amazon Jungle
This is an epic episode. Many questions get answered. It also includes an epic wedding. I love this series! Our heroine is a top drawer computer geek and her friends are just as nerdy. Her boyfriend is also the best of the best in the IT field, not a nerd but definitely a geek. There are so many surprises in each story. There are twists and turns that no one will expect. I also love that it is a longer book so the author can put in as much detail or story twists as she feels necessary. I received this ARC book for free from Net Galley and this is my honest review.

5 Stars

This is the twelfth book in the Lexi Carmichael mystery series by Julie Moffett.

The one thing you can guarantee in a Lexi Carmichael book is that you will always get double the dose of action than in any other book of a similar caliber. Wow. What a thrill ride this was.

Lexi and Slash are getting married. But before the day comes, they are whisked away to the jungles of Brazil where they meet up with drug runners, a little known tribe and a group of scientists who want to secure their malaria vaccine. The vaccine is a groundbreaking discovery that will work on a segment of the population that the normal vaccine cannot help.

This story never stops. When Slash comes in to save the day and have a fight with the king of the indigenous tribe for Lexi’s hand in marriage, that had to be my favorite part of the book. How romantic was that?

I couldn’t help but laugh at Lexi throughout the book. Every stumbling block led her to a strange success. Somehow the tribe thought her to be a descendent of the Amazonian warriors. Too funny. Lexi rolls with the punches no matter what happens to her. We could all learn a lot from following Lexi’s example.

Such a fun book. I totally recommend this entire series.

If you love a good mystery/cozy mystery/suspense book, you need to pick this one up. You won’t be disappointed. I was hooked all the way through. Good stuff!

I received this as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) in return for an honest review. I thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this title.

No Questions Asked, the 12 book in Julie Moffett’s Lexi Carmichael Mystery series, is a fantastic adventure that we get to share with both Lexi and Slash. I love spending time with Lexi when she is placed in out-ot-her-comfort-zone situations and No Questions Asked starts with a biggie, wedding planning. She has made great gains with help from Slash but he even doesn’t want anything to do with decisions for a Mozilla-sized wedding. Her mother's runaway plans require Lexi to make decisions that force her to think about being around people, lots and lots of people. She really tries to be a good daughter but, come on, trying on wedding gowns and deciding on flowers, much less just thinking about seating charts is a nightmare equaled only by spiders, snakes, flying...well lots of other stuff.
From one nightmare to another Lexi is pulled into one of THOSE trips, yep, spiders, snakes, and boats in piranha ridden waters, but Lexi's heart is bigger than her fears and pulls her into a trip to the Amazon to protect data on a malaria vaccine that will protect children.
Julie Moffett never lets things get old with these wonderful characters. Even though regular readers can often guess what Lexi's reaction will be to any situation, the disasters she faces are so varied and often completely unexpected. We have seen some development in Lexi’s social terror and see even more on this journey. There are some really beautiful moments that takes the trials in No Questions Asked well beyond the norm and make it my favorite book in the Lexi Carmichael series.
I was thrilled to be approved for an ARC by NetGalley even though I had already pre-ordered No Questions Asked as soon as it was available. I adore this series and talk about it with anyone who will listen.

The long awaited Lexi Carmichael book and adventure that readers have been waiting for and I promise you will not be disappointed. Lexi is still just as awkward and geeky as always as she is trying to save a scientist and prepare for a wedding.

No Questions ask as many laugh out loud moments along with cringe worthy only Lexi could do moments.

Julie Moffett is able to make Lexi related to so many readers to the point they will seem themselves in Lexi shoes as she tried to adapt to everything that is thrown in her path.



Fans of author Julie Moffett will not be disappointed with this next installment.



Thank you to Netgalley and the author for the advance copy of Julie Moffett No Questions Asked.

Wow! Layered characters, involved plot and —to me—very funny. To some it may seem over the top but things just seem to happen to Lexi which are so visual I just laugh. Reminiscent of Lucy. Slash is nice to have around as well. Solid plot, seemingly well researched and intelligent
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for this arc
