This was a fantastic story, that I enjoyed very much!

Lexi Carmichael is desperately trying to avoid wedding planning with her overly, excited mom.

Slash gets orders to take a three week vacation, but his first day off lands him on the news and he gets a reminder about that vacation.

The founder, along with the CEO of Vaccitex, which is a nonprofit organization working on a malaria vaccine to be administered to the very young, request Lexi to accompany the team to the rainforest in Brazil for added security measures. The vaccine in any other hands would net big profits, which requires a higher level of protection.

Slash tags along as an extension of Frisson working under X-Corp where he offers his cyber services. By going, Slash will have a working vacation and also provide much needed support for Lexi, who hates to fly, bugs, heat & humidity.

The trip to Brazil was uneventful until they were introduced to the plane that would take them to the research center. This plane didn't look fit for flying, but the other options weren't great either. Opting to take the fastest route, at the last minute the pilot allowed a cage with three chickens to board. Due to turbulence, the chickens got free followed by hilarious escapades in trying to retrieve them.

Once at the research center, Lexi learns that she is required to go along with the team when they visit tribes to vaccinate, so she can enter data immediately. If it isn't bad enough, that there are plane rides, loose chickens, heat, humidity to contend with; the research center is guarded by soldiers behind barbed wire fence due to pirates and thieves.

The excursions to reach the tribes are met with trial after trial. When they finally are able to inoculate one tribe, the unexpected happens. Lexi will have to rely on her wits and cunning to leave, but in the process, she finds new friendship and an experience beyond measure.

I, definitely could relate to Lexi not wanting to fly or be in a rainforest, but loved how Lexi adapted to the circumstances, despite her fears, which lead me to laugh; as well as, cheer her on! I laughed about the part of the chickens running amok on the plane and could visualize feathers flying all over. So many other parts that had me laughing out loud like an unintentional mooning. I was surprised by the ending, and was left with the hope that eventually things will work out and it'll come together in another book. Just like the quote says: "Love conquers all."

I received an ARC from NetGalley via HARLEQUIN-Carina Press and I have voluntarily reviewed this book.

Oh, MAN, I like when Lexi and Slash end up in the middle of dangerous situations and have to use their big brains and hacking skills to outwit the bad guys and save the day. The downside of this adventure is that the Brazilian rain forest isn't the best place to highlight one's hacking skills...except it also kind of is.

Because, you know, it's Lexi and Slash and they manage to take bad situations and turn them into something they can work with. Sometimes that involves prodding a snake out of a tree and sometimes it involves finding an unsecured laptop with a treasure trove of much needed information.

But before our couple get to that point, they have to wade through wedding planning (THE HORROR!), wedding dress shopping (even worse than the planning!), ferreting out information on who'd want to derail vaccination trials that could save millions, and lots of bugs (and snakes!) in the jungle. Throw in a few indigenous tribes who are fascinated by Lexi's can-do attitude (even when it's not always planned!) and you've got yourself a recipe for Lexi-style adventure.

By that, I mean, the most outlandish things happen to her and she somehow manages to think her way out of situations that would make others stumble.

On a coupledom note, Lexi and Slash work for me so nicely. I was VERY pleased with how things worked out for them in the wilds and that they ended up with the very thing they didn't know they wanted. *thumbs up*

I love Lexi Carmichael, and this next adventure is not to be missed. If having the President tell Slash to take a vacation and giving Lexi his daughter's wedding planner isn't enough, an X-Corps matter takes Lexi and Slash to Brazil to help beef up InfoSec for a nonprofit global company that is starting Stage III trials for a malaria vaccine in Indigenous Amazon villages. Of course Lexi's little black cloud is still following her around, so besides the hacking from an evil for profit company, there's more in store for poor Lexi. And we know how much she hates traveling. I'm so sad this book is over and I have to wait for the next one, please Julie Moffett, there will be a next one?

There are few series that I will read multiple times, and this is one of them. I was looking forward to reading the latest adventure in Lexi's life and this one did not disappoint. From the first word to the very last word I was hooked. I enjoyed reading about the adventures of Lexi, Slash, and Gwen as they trekked through the Amazon. As they helped with the issues on hand, I felt as if I was right there with them. Although I am not a fan of various POV's in a story, this one worked because it gave me a better understanding as to what the different characters were up to. I loved the storyline of Lexi and Slash's quest to get married, and that surprise revelation towards the end. I can't wait to see what happens next.

For some reason I had trouble staying interested in this book. I persisted and it did get better, but it was still a struggle. Lexi and Slash are headed to Brazil to help with the testing of a new vaccine that could save millions of lives. They run into trouble immediately. The book has danger, suspense along with a romance. It is part of a series but you could read it as a stand alone. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

Lexi and Slash are engaged to be married and - next to Lexi's eager mom - even POTUS is giving his input on her wedding plans! Fortunately (or not..) Lexi is asked to fly to Brazil to help with protecting data for an organization that wants to test a new malaria vaccine - in the jungle!
Gwen is also on the team as a biologist and Slash - confronted with 3 weeks leave - decides to go as well.

No, the plane does not crash this time :-)
But there is enough action and danger to keep you glued to the pages (of my Kindle in my case). Lexi is always getting into danger or strange situations.

Loved this new installment and it gave me all the feels on the Lexi/Slash front. Kudos to the author for keeping the series fresh and interesting.

Bought my own copy as well.

I received a free copy of NO QUESTIONS ASKED (Book 12 of the Lexi Carmichael Series) by Julie Moffett in exchange for an honest review. Slash has abandoned Lexi to the wedding planning machinations of her mother. Lexi’s mother is pressuring Lexi to make actual decisions about the upcoming nuptials when all Lexi wants to do is elope. When even POTUS expresses an interest in the status of the wedding, Lexi jumps at a chance to flee to the Brazilian rainforest to perform on-site computer security for a charitable organization testing a new malaria vaccine. Slash, going stir crazy while on vacation from the government, accompanies Lexi. Corporate greed, spying, and sabotage---OH MY! Even if the plane doesn’t crash this time, things will get stickier than expected.

I love this series. Lexi, while taking herself very seriously, always ends up in big trouble under ridiculous circumstances. I recommend this book to fans of technological spy thrillers with a humorous bent.

Loved this book! The book starts with Lexi agonizing over wedding planning.....errr, rather, her mother's attempts to plan her wedding. Then, Lexi is tasked with an assignment to Brazil and Slash goes with her. Once there, Lexi's little black cloud continues to prove its existence and Lexi's struggle with all things rain forest.

I love Lexi and Slash and how they have developed, grown, and changed over the course of the series. The author has made me care about them and feel invested in their lives.

If it were possible, I would give this book more than five stars. This series is one of my absolute favorites and is a must read for fans of the genre. This is a stand alone novel, however, the series is so good that you really owe it yourself to read them all. The author is on my must read authors' list.
