Synopsis (Goodreads):
Lexi Carmichael has a rule about animals: avoid them at all costs. But this time the cost is too high.Thoughts on No Bones About It: No joke, Lexi's little black cloud ALWAYS keeps things interesting. Even when she's trying to avoid it (and she pretty consistently tries to avoid it), it just zips in and does its thing. Which means there's generally a lot of chaos and Lexi's big brain sorting that chaos into manageable piles. YESSS!
I’m supposed to be counting cards, raking in money, and celebrating Gwen’s bachelorette party in Atlantic City, New Jersey, preferably while my little black cloud stays home. I mean, who needs trouble when you put four accomplished women on a mission inside a casino? But nothing is ever easy for me.
It all started with a golden retriever who decided I’m her favorite piece of prime rib. Of course, I assume the universe is inconveniencing me once again. I have a long, complicated history with animals, and none of it ends well.
What begins as an awkward attempt to reunite a suspiciously brilliant dog with her owner soon spirals into something far more dangerous. Luckily, my fiercely loyal girlfriends—a CIA researcher, a very pregnant fashionista, and a giddy microbiologist planning the wedding of her dreams—and I are more than capable of handling ourselves as we unravel a scheme with scary technological and intelligence-community implications.
Turns out my little black cloud is thriving, because saving one very smart dog might expose a global scandal. But if we pull it off, we’ll protect national security, save a life that happens to have four legs, and prove—without even trying—that girls have way more fun than guys when left alone for a long weekend.
This time around, Lexi is with her female friends on a bachelorette trip without her significant other and she's working on how to have fun. And socialize. But mostly she's working on the fun part. That said, Lexi's idea of fun is using her big brain to solve problems. So when a doggo with unusual intelligence chooses her as their person on one of their outings, Lexi does what she does best. Which means she starts putting together little bits of information so she can see the big picture.
Although she's a little leery of any animal choosing her, she's also not heartless and soon she and her friends are trying to figure out what to do with this sweet girl while on vacation. Let's just say it involves pretending to be pregnant, facing off against a man who is VERY determined to get that sweet doggo back, and maybe taking down a company that is doing more than a few unethical things.
Lexi's doing her thing, having her type of fun, and making the world a safer place one hack at a time.
