Synopsis:
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, who 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.

My Thoughts:
An adventure packed full of mystery and humor with a bit of romance!
This adventure was full of suspense, romance, surprises and humor. Ms. Ashe adds humor and mystery to create a unique and captivating read. The characters are well developed and interesting. This book held my attention from beginning to end. I really enjoy a book when you are not able to guess how it will end.
The narrator appears to be experienced and her talent showed. The expressions, character differentiation, and emotion that is put into the story was done exceptionally well. I am not one that typically likes audio books as I can’t focus on the story. However, the voice narration and the story drew me in and captivated me from the beginning to the end.
Overall I enjoyed this book that was full of twists and surprises that kept you guessing till the end. I listed to the audio book of Dropping the Dime and the narrator did a great job with it. This was my second book that I have heard/read from Ellie Ashe. I recommend this book to anyone that likes a good mystery with some romance mingled throughout.
