Lucky Penny by Ellie Ashe

meowknits's review against another edition

4.0

Reading the second book in this series, I wondered why Miranda didn't become a forensic accountant. This book opens with Rob introducing her to one, and she's a hoot. It was good to see her get career goals. I gave the book 4 stars because I really enjoyed reading it and liked the characters. However, as I started to think about a review, I realized that the mystery aspect of the book was pretty weak. The romantic element was stronger, but it also felt contrived. So, I love Miranda, like the pacing and other characters, but was lukewarm on the plot.

This is a great series and I enjoyed this 3rd installment a lot. The books are best enjoyed if you read them in order, mostly because of Miranda's story. After losing her career in Finance because she was falsely arrested and accused of fraud, she has come a long way. But it is only a year after being aquitted and Miranda is slowly finding her way in life again. The attraction between her and FBI agent Jake has been simmering on a back burner but it seems to be heating up. FINALLY!

Ar the start of the book I was despairing a bit because of the slow - slow! - movement of their relationship. They have not even been on a date in 2 books! But be assured everything is turning out well :-)

I also liked the main story about the owner of a luxury resort wanting to buy back a casino (the Penny) and needing Miranda to go over the accounts with her new boss Dottie. Dottie is a new character to enjoy and she also provides Miranda with a new career choice. And ofcourse, accounting is never dull in a Miranda Vaughn story!
