In Denver, twenty-seven year old Lexie Foster nearly died when her car skidded on an icy patch into the guard rail. Six months of therapy later, Lexie vows to live life to the fullest, starting with quitting her tedious job at Culpepper and Pipe. That is followed by drawing up a list of one hundred things for her to achieve, to include having intimate relations with six different men before she turns thirty.

Lexie accepts work as an administrative assistant with private investigator Nick Delaney. She proves an invaluable help to him with several cases, but fears her risk taking outlook on life. She finds herself very attracted to her boss; he feels the same way, which adds to his trepidation about her taking unnecessary chances. As she reconsiders modifying her list from relationships with a sextet to sleeping with one man forever, they fall in love.

Readers will commiserate with Lexie who has learned that you have one chance at life, so appreciate it and enjoy, though she goes a bit overboard as a reaction formation to her near death experience. Nick is a delight, as he tries to keep his beloved assistant from taking chances, but he admires her spunk and determination. Fans of contemporary private investigative romances will have NO REGRETS if they read Cindi Myers' fine tale.
