Such a cute, fun read. I wasn't really sure how to categorize it (thus the humorous romantic mystery tag I stuck up there in the genre section) but it is all of those things: it's got humor, there are some great romantic teases, and quite a decent mystery.Lexi Carmichael's such an awesomely awkward nerd--a computer hacker (supposedly ex-hacker), super-smart with a photographic memory, insecure, and abruptly honest (due to her inability to read social cues properly). Once a rising star in the NSA, Lexi left to got to work for an adorable Irish billionaire named Finn. Yes. Finn. Now, don't get your Irish up...Lexi's got a bit of a flirt going on with Finn (though it's mostly Finn doing the flirting, since Lexi's pretty clueless) but she works for him and, for the moment, it's pretty professional.Oh, and then there's Slash. I really want to know more about him. He's kind of a James Bond/Jason Bourne character, very enigmatic and brilliant. An uber-hacker with ties to all sorts of governmental and shady places, Slash is another huge flirt that I'd like to see Lexi hook up with.While this series is mainly character-driven, this story's a fun mystery, too. Well worth a couple of hours to lose yourself in the world of Lexi Carmichael.
