Product Description

I'm Lexi Carmichael, geek extraordinaire. I spend my days stopping computer hackers at the National Security Agency. My nights? Those I spend avoiding my mother and eating cereal for dinner. Even though I work for a top-secret agency, I've never been in an exciting car chase, sipped a stirred (not shaken) martini, or shot a poison dart from an umbrella.

Until today, that is, when two gun-toting thugs popped up in my life and my best friend disappeared. So, I've enlisted the help of the Zimmerman twins—the reclusive architects of America's most sensitive electronic networks—to help me navigate a bewildering maze of leads to find her.

Along the way, my path collides with a sexy government agent and a rich, handsome lawyer, both of whom seem to have the hots for me. Hacking, espionage, sexy spy-men—it's a geek girl's dream come true. If it weren't for those gun-toting thugs...

This was a fun book. Think 1/3 Stephanie Plum, 1/3 Lisbeth Salander, and 1/3 James Bond.

Lexi is a 24 going on 25 year old woman with a top secret computer job. She is a computer geek, wears no makeup, has had sex exactly one time in her life, and it is quite possible that she buys her clothes at Walmart. Not what you picture as a Bond girl... She also loves Dunkin Donuts and Diet Coke. She is very down to earth, sassy, and honest. She does not have a side kick named Lulu, but there are hot guys suddenly popping out of the woodwork and just appearing in her apartment at all hours of the day and night. Unfortuneately, Lexi can trust none of them.

From computer geek to Bond girl.. After being abducted twice in one night, interrogated about some papers she was supposed to have received in the mail, and discovering her best friend has gone missing, Lexi starts asking questions. Before you know it, she is shot at and uncovering some major corruption involving a fertility clinic and 40 million dollars and an Arab prince. A hot Irish lawyer, a sexy Swede karate instructor, and an Enrique Inglesius look alike all claim to want to help Lexi get to the bottom of this mess, but each one is hiding secrets of his own. Who can she trust?

There are hot kisses, agents on stakeouts, world traveling, handcuffs, and another sexy guy named Elvis. I wonder if this is the beginning of a series? I can see it going somewhere. I had a few chuckles and a whole lot of fun wondering what mess Lexi was going to end up in next.

Why not five whole stars? Too much information and too many characters at times. Still, a fun read tho.

And I would have been missing a fun read. I will be buying more of the Lexi spy/mysteries. Just enough romance & humor & plenty of adventure. What more could you ask for?

No One Lives Twice is a fun and wild adventure of an unsuspecting geek thrown into the crazy world of espionage, but be prepared for a few bumps in the road with this novel. Still, that's no reason you shouldn't pull up a chair, grab a shaken martini and prepare yourself for Lexi Carmichael...the female James Bond!

Lexi Carmichael was having your average boring and uneventful day when she was confronted in the street by a mad man with a gun. He demands Lexi had over a document she has no knowledge of. Confused and terrified, Lexi arrives at her apartment only to discover her best friend Basia did send her papers with a note that she keep them safe. Knowing there is something deeper behind these papers, Lexi is determined to get to the bottom of this puzzle. With the help of her computer-hacking friends Lexi is working desperately to help Basia. The more she discovers about Basia's secret, the deeper she becomes entangled in this dangerous web. Now all Lexi needs is a plan...and a miracle.

Moffett pens a delightful and exciting adventure for this simple computer geek gone rouge. Perhaps my favorite part of this first person novel were the secondary characters. No One Lives Twice has a wide range of fun and wacky characters that will make you smile and laugh. These characters mean business, but yet there is a light and funny side in their complimentary relationship when they work together. I could easily see fans of the Stephanie Plum series really enjoying this story and all it's eclectic characters. It has that same sexy edge, with a bit of light humor and fascinating characters to keep readings intrigued.

Moffett adds plenty of sexy book candy to this novel, all setting their eyes on Lexi. Yet despite the lightness of this novel, one problem was the revolving door of potential romantic candidates. It was incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to believe that a woman with such a dry and uneventful romantic life was turning the heads of every male character in this story (and I literally mean every male character). I wanted to see one character pushed to front as the guy she was most interested in, even if everyone else was still chasing her around. If was hinted at the end, but not enough to be convincing. Usually with any love triangle, or in this case love pentagon, the reader can claim their favorite. It wasn't so in this case and that took a little of the joy out of the overall story.

Another teeny tiny problem was the overwhelming description and drawn out plot points. By the third chapter, I think I read about Lexi stopping at every fast food joint known to man, and what she ate there. Admittedly, there was some unwanted detail, but the novel was still a fresh and fun read. Lexi is a great character with a lot of spunk and charm! The storyline is definitely unpredictable as you follow along with Lexi to solve the case and rescue her friend. Moffett takes her original characters on a thrilling ride that most girls only dream of! No One Lives Twice is an entertaining and fun novel for anyone who enjoys seeing the underdog computer geek come out of her shell to save the day. This novel is a decent start to a fresh new series. With a few slight modifications, this series could be flat out fantastic.

Overall Rating: 3/5
Heat Level: 1/5
