Geek girl Lexi Carmichael has tackled her share of formidable tasks, but nothing quite as daunting as serving as maid of honor at her best friend’s wedding When I agreed to stand by my best friend, Basia, on her big day, I had no idea what I was in for. Bouquets and unflattering evening wear I can handle. But between disgruntled dates, a beach venue and suspicious packages, what else can go … can go wrong? Oh, right–my parents don’t know I’ve moved in with Slash. Oops?
Thankfully, I’ve got everything semi under control, at least as far as Basia and Xavier know. They can leave for their honeymoon happy, knowing Elvis, Slash and I will keep things safe at home.
Meanwhile, Elvis and Xavier’s boss at ComQuest has asked X-Corp–well, me–to take a quick trip to retrieve a sensitive company package from the British Virgin Islands. No hacking involved. Just show up, accept the package and bring it home safely. A cushy assignment, and a safe one. Right?
Wrong. Things start to unravel the minute I set foot on the boat to the island. Before I know it, I’m up to my neck in trouble. I’m going to have to work fast to stop the bad guys before the sun sets for good on this unexpected beach vacation…

Well Lexi is at it again. This time she agrees. A “a little black cloud” follows her everywhere and she has a spread sheet of data to prove it.
Xavier and Basia are getting married. And Lexi and Xavier are just trying to make it through their wedding duties without having too many panic attacks. With both of them out of their comfort zones, that is easier said than done.
A mix up with a wedding gift causes Lexi and Basia to be held hostage. Of course Slash comes to the rescue and the bad guys are caught. Then Elvis has girl trouble, a pelican interrupts the wedding and Lexi’s parents get upset about her new living arrangements. Well you can say it is adventurous day for the gang.
Basia and Xavier go on their honeymoon, to a secret location, Lexi gets back to her job and unpacking her new home. Her first day back at work finds Elvis’s boss hiring her to retrieve a package. It is a really suspicious task, but Finn and her agree that it should be a simple task and decide to send her.
When on her mission to retrieve the package, she starts looking into a shipping company that is losing packages. Could be a simple inside job? But when the trail leads to where she is it seems to be too much of a coincidence.
As she looks into the mysterious packaging issue, she runs into a bit of unexpected trouble. The kind of trouble that can get her killed. Yep! She has a black cloud watching over her. Can Lexi save herself and protect those she loves?
OMG! OMG! OMG! What an ending! Leaving it open for another amazing story. Can’t wait. This book was soooo exciting. I could not put it down. Not even for a minute. It was a roller coaster ride of thrills and it was so much fun. I swear these books just get better and better. I thought maybe they might dull a little when Lexi made her love decision, but Julie Moffett has not disappointed me. She keeps the books interesting with all the adventures that Lexi gets into.
I have to admit I am falling in love more and more with Lexi and Slash’s relationship. It is developing beautifully. I love it when he calls her “Cara” and speaks Italian to her. So romantic. LOVE IT!!! Swoon worthy!
The characters keep developing more and more with each book. And the adventures get more exciting. This one had me biting my nails on the edge of my seat. Again, could not put it down. It flowed so smoothly and at a steady pace. I am getting excited just thinking about everything that happened and thinking how the next book is going to go. My imagination is running amok.
Julie Moffett is one of my absolute favorite authors. I have read almost all of her books! I am never disappointed. I have to say though out of all her books the Lexi Carmichael Mysteries are my favorite. I love the geek aspect of it. They are full of action and adventure, love and mystery. And let me tell you they have the best characters. I am so in love with them. My favorites are Lexi and Elvis with Slash coming in third. I secretly hope one day Elvis and Lexi will wind up together. Hey a girl can dream can’t she. If you haven’t read this series then you must, because you are missing out on an adventure of a lifetime.

No Regrets by Julie Moffett was another outstanding addition to this series! I am always excited when a new one comes out in this series and this one did not disappoint. I sat down to read it and didn’t get up again until I was finished with it.
Lexi is Basia’s maid of honor and has had all the trials and tribulations that go along with those duties – many of them were totally outside Lexi’s comfort zone but she survived and actually thrived while performing her duties. Unfortunately, her “little black cloud” did appear before the wedding but was quickly taken care of by Slash.
An engaging mystery that sped along until I was breathless. Lexi takes on what should be a routine assignment; but, of course, lands in another dangerous situation. There were so many emotional moments between the characters as each one seemed to be reaching crossroads in their lives but this only showed how each character is growing and maturing within the series. Ms. Moffett’s descriptive writing made me feel like I was right there throughout the story. Lexi and Slash’s relationship grew by leaps and bounds during this book. I cheered, I sighed and I even teared up at the end. There is also a hint at the end of the book as to Slash and Lexi’s next adventure. I am no geek but I still want to step into their world and become friends with all of them.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book from Carina Press via NetGalley. All of the above opinions are my own. I want to sincerely thank Carina Press for allowing me to read and review this book.
Love this series and Julie’s writing. I can’t wait for the next book!
I love Lexi- she is the anti-hero heroine. She is socially awkward and clumsy but she still gets in and out of trouble.
This whole series is top notch. Love the geeky, smart girl character and all of the associates within the spheres of the stories. You might start out thinking ‘ho hum’ but it doesn’t last more than a nano second or two and the action begins. I hope she writes many more in this story world. 🙂
No Regrets is as outstanding as the other books in this awesome series! Julie Moffett creates amazing characters, especially Lexi, who pull me into their world. While I am very different from our favorite nerd, I can well identify with the way her mind works. Basia’s wedding presents a continuing challenge for Lexi to fit into the “normal” world. Not that weddings are all that normal even without her need not to be with too many people. This time, she has to face the ultimate horror, yes kids! This realistic and pretty normal encounter alone would make it worth reading the book. Hilarious as only Lexi can be. The wedding brings a few other mishaps but that one is my favorite because it is so her.
After the wedding, Lexi’s life returns to her normal. That means adventure and the unexpected lurks just around the corner or right in her face. There are so many wonderful interactions between Lexi and each of her favorite people that I would have scored it a five if nothing else has stood out as awesome. Luckily I loved almost every thing about the book and enjoyed the rest!!!
I was thrilled to get an ARC of No Regrets from Carina via NetGalley.com. The opinion stated is all mine and reflect my love of the book. I just finished reading my personal copy!
The Lexi Carmichael series by Julie Moffett is my favorite series. So when I saw this beauty on Netgalley I immediately clicked on the request button like some crazy person. Ofcourse I also have it on pre-order for January 2018!
What’s happening for Lexi in this 10th book? Basia and Xavier are getting married in this book, so romance is in the air! Of course nothing goes without a hitch… and Lexi can add some data in her ‘Little Black Cloud’ spreadsheet. She is gathering data about the trouble that seems to follow her!
I won’t spoil anything about the adventures in this book, but I will say that it gave me so many feels…. sigh… I wanted to highlight so many sentences. Loved loved loved this book. Now I have to wait a whole year for the next.
Quote: ‘That, cara, is what I see in your eyes when I look at you. I see my future.’ (another sigh).
And (sorry, little spoiler) it ends on a small cliffhanger. Nothing major, but enough to make you jittery and aching for more.
