Synopsis (Goodreads):
Italy might seem like a long way to go to hide after a disastrous date. But when sexy uberhacker Slash (no, that's not his real name) asks me to go with him to Rome on an investigation, the timing is sort of perfect. My messed-up love life becomes the least of my worries, though, after the dead body, the near-kidnapping and the discovery of a top secret encrypted file that even I can't hack.

With time running out, there's only one thing to do: call in the legendary Zimmerman twins and my best fluent-in-Italian friend, Basia, to crack the code. Now if only someone could help me solve the mystery of whether Slash is flirting, or if all the kissing is just one of those "when in Rome" things...

But when we finally uncover the secret someone would kill to keep, it's up to me to solve the case and save the lives of my best friends.

Just another week in the life of geek-girl Lexi Carmichael.
Thoughts on No Place Like Rome: I'm starting to think Chaos is Lexi's middle name because where this lady goes THINGS HAPPEN. Like a cat fight on an opera stage. And a cat who tries to assert her dominance by peeing in unexpected places.

Yes, Lexi has some odd things happen to and around her. She also gets to follow some obscure clues to find hidden treasures. And help the Vatican and Slash's uncle out. Which, as you might imagine, endears her to a whole lot of people. (Slash's family being high among those people. And the Pope. Because this is Lexi and her awkwardness somehow works on so many levels.)

So. Lexi and Slash are jaunting off to Italy to unravel the mystery of the missing 18 million. The dynamic duo get to engage in a little clandestine hacking and some seriously steamy moments. Oh, and a little danger. Because danger follows these two like...uhh, something that follows something else really closely.

Good thing both Lexi and Slash are up to stopping the bad guys before they do some very bad things. *thumbs up*
