Publisher Description
Perfect for fans of smart, sassy sleuths in light-hearted mysteries.
Lexi Graves thought her temp job at Green Hand Insurance was boring… until she finds CEO Martin Dean in a pool of blood. With millions missing and the prime suspect dead, Lexi is thrust into an investigation with a mysterious, dangerously attractive new boss who’s not what he seems.
Recruited by a joint task force, she must track down the missing money and unmask the killer. But between planning her sister’s over-the-top baby shower, dealing with her overprotective cop family, and dodging creepy gifts from an unknown stalker, Lexi is in over her head.
The clues lead to a shady sex club, the bodies keep piling up, and time is running out.
If she doesn’t crack the case soon, she’ll be next in the killer’s crosshairs.

Armed and fabulous
Top notch action, mystery, and romance made this a fun read!
It was entertaining
It was fine, but I was expecting something more. If you're interested in chick novels, this is for you, but if you also want to solve the mystery and decipher things, look elsewhere. (I mean, if you're looking for codes to break and chilling events... this isn't it.) I noticed many grammatical errors and found some sentences to be constructed awkwardly, so it was a bit confusing at times. The author also uses acronyms, so if you don't really know much of the police/detective lingo, prepare to look it up. The humor is great and so are the rest of the characters--my favorites include the many descriptions of the two male leads. Overall, it just reminded me of something you'd read on a free literary website such as fictionpress. 4/5 for entertainment, 3/5 for the mystery factor. (I really wanted to solve codes!)
Armed & Fabulous
It’s a quick and easy read. It’s apparently also pretty forgettable. I was going through my library and stumbled across it. I was a bit surprised to find it at the end of the book when I opened it. When I reread it, I vaguely remembered the story, mostly I just remembered that I found the main character to be annoying. I’m not sure why people keep comparing the main character to Stephanie Plum, the only thing they really have in common is that they’re both women and that they are torn between two men.
The writer has an odd habit of writing in things in a way that makes you think it’s significant to the story, only to find out it’s not. You’ll find paragraphs of Lexi doing mundane things which causes you to think something is going to happen...and nothing does. All it contributes to the story is a padded page count.
I would have chosen two stars, but added a star because it was free. It isn’t riddled with typos, so that gave it its second star, although the writer does have an obnoxious habit of shortening the word pervert into perve instead of perv.
