Title: No Biz Like Show Biz
Author: Julie Moffett
Review: Lexi Carmichael is back helping geeks
everywhere well at least one date at a time. Socially inept computer genies
Lexi is sent to Hollywood to find a hacker who is trying to destroy a reality
dating show- Geeks Get Some. When the Geeks decided they want to date a
true geek Lexi is brought in but soon the hacker has his sights set on Lexi and
between her confusing love life, a studio obsessed with rating and a bunch of
contest that put the N in nerd. Lexi is more lost than ever!
As
always Julie Moffett had me laughing from beginning to the very end of the book
as Lexi tries hard to figure out what she wants in a relationship, life, love
and career. When the hacker makes things
personal you fight alongside Lexi as she tries to discover who the hacker is. This book doesn’t have the action pack of When in Rome but it has all the usually
characters her best friend Basis is there to help Lexi figure out the social
norms she is lacking, the ever sexy Slash has Lexi trying to figure out her
love life and Elvis in more in the background being the best friend Lexi needs.
The book is super fun but carries a heavy message about bulling and sometimes
that point gets a little to preachy.
Being bullied happens at every stage of life as kids and adults, Geek
and non-Geeks alike get bullied and I appreciated Julie Moffett showing that in
her fun book. Lexi discover the truth but will she use vengeance or her heart -that
you will have to find out when you read No Biz Like Show Biz.
This is
a great summer read that will have you as always wondering if Lexi will figure
out this thing called LOVE!
Looking forward to the next installment of the
Lexi Carmichael Mysteries.
Thanks

Synopsis:
Lexi Carmichael: helping geeks everywhere get some.
Okay,
so it's not exactly as it seems, but that's what's happening on the dating
reality show called Geeks Get Some that I, geek extraordinaire Lexi Carmichael,
have been called to work on. Not that I'm a fan of reality shows (I can barely
deal with my own reality). Still, I've been sent to Hollywood to find a hacker
who's screwing with the results of the show's online voting system.
So what
happens when I get there? Well, the producers convince me to continue my
investigation from the inside. And what should be an easy hunt for the hacker
turns ugly when he sets his sights on me. Add to that a studio obsessed with
ratings, a bunch of nerdy contestants, and my own confusing love life, and
unraveling this mystery might make me a star…or get me killed.
Meet Lexi
for the very first time in No One Lives Twice!
Author
Information: I
have always been a romantic at heart. So when I finally decided to pursue my
dream of writing a novel, naturally, it was a romance. I have published several
novels in many genres – historicals, time-travels and paranormals.
I’m a
military brat (Air Force) and have traveled extensively. My more exciting
exploits include attending high school in Okinawa, Japan (Go, Kubasaki!),
backpacking around Europe and Scandanavia for several months, a year-long
college study in Warsaw, Poland and a wonderful trip to Scotland and Ireland
where I fell in love with castle, kilts and brogues.
I have
a B.A. in Political Science and Russian Language from Colorado College and a
M.A. in International Affairs from George Washington University in Washington,
D.C. I worked as a correspondent for the international radio station, Radio
Free Europe/Radio Liberty in Washington, D.C. writing hundreds of articles and
producing numerous radio programs for eleven years before "retiring"
to be a stay-at-home mom and full-time writer in 1999.
I speak
Russian and Polish (I married a Pole in 1991!) and love reading foreign
literature (especially Slavic). I had a beautiful baby boy named Alexander in
1995. I never knew what joy a child could bring to my life.
