Dropping the Dime (Book 2)

Miranda Vaughn was once falsely accused of stealing millions, and now she’s helping others who are facing criminal charges. While being an assistant to her former defense attorney isn’t Miranda’s dream job, she’s eager to prove herself, and her first task is a simple one – protect Kathryn, a shy CFO turned informant, and help her prove that a popular real estate developer is embezzling millions from his company. But what should be a straightforward assignment is deliciously complicated when Miranda is thrown together with FBI Agent Jake Barnes, the man who saved her life, broke her heart, and then disappeared.

Beneath the neatly plotted rows of new homes lurk dark secrets, bitter feuds and a whole lot of greed. Nothing is what it appears; even Miranda’s timid client is hiding secrets of her own. Despite her growing distrust of her client, Miranda must protect Kathryn from becoming the target of the FBI’s investigation and protect herself from the real thief – all while protecting her heart from the sexy FBI agent she can’t seem to resist.

Teaser

It had been more than half a year since I’d felt the touch of those lips, but the effect was the same. Dizzying. Electric. A tug of passion that reached from my soul. Nothing, no one, had ever made me feel like that.

“We shouldn’t do this,” I whispered.

“I know.” Jake’s voice was low and gravelly and thrilled me to the pit of my stomach.

My Review

I chose to listen to this book after receiving a free copy. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased. Dropping the Dime is the second book in the Miranda Vaughn mystery series. It does stand on its own but I’d  listened to Chasing the Dollar right before this one and I was happy to be able to start Dropping the Dime immediately.

Miranda Vaughn is working for the lawyer who had represented her a few months ago when she was found not guilty on fraud and embezzlement charges. She would rather work in finance, her chosen field, but she is considered high risk even though she was cleared of the charges.

Their current case was brought to them by the CFO of a large real estate firm who suspects her boss of embezzlement. The FBI is on the case too, so Miranda has to work with Jake Barnes. She hasn’t seen him since they worked together a few months ago. They still both have feelings for each other but know they shouldn’t get involved since they’re working on the same case.

I like Elli Ashe’s writing style and Teri Schnaubelt’s narration skills. They make a great team. Teri Schnaubelt brings the characters to life and she has good rhythm and timing. I’m looking forward to listening to her narrate the next book.

Dropping the Dime is a humorous mystery with a bit of romance and suspense and a surprise ending. I’m so glad I have the next book in the series so that I can start it right now!
