Synopsis (Goodreads):
One last fling (with danger) before the ring?

Nothing’s that simple when you’re a geek girl. Julie Moffett’s beloved Lexi Carmichael mystery series returns with No Questions Asked.

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.
Thoughts on No Questions Asked: 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*
