About this listen

Getting shot was the last thing Lia Broderick expected to happen when she stopped by the bank on her way to work - that and having the gorgeous woman from the coffee shop down the street be the one to rescue her....

FBI Special Agent Dylan McKenzie is a woman with a mission - locate Steven Horton, the witness who could single-handedly bring down the Giametta Crime Family. With Horton hiding from both the mob and the FBI, Dylan and her team are assigned the task of keeping tabs on Horton's ex-wife after mounting evidence leads them to believe he will run to her. Keeping Lia Broderick under surveillance should have been just another day on the job for Dylan. But, when Lia becomes the victim in a bank robbery gone terribly wrong, Dylan has no choice but to break cover in order to step in and save her.

Despite her best efforts to maintain a professional distance from the attractive accountant, Dylan finds herself being reeled deeper and deeper into Lia's life. As the investigation heats up - both under the covers and out - it becomes clear that Lia is the key to finding the evidence that the mob is willing to kill to get their hands on. When Dylan is betrayed by a rogue agent, she suddenly finds herself on the run with Lia, uncertain who she can trust. And as the mob closes in, Dylan realizes that the greatest risk is the one she's taking with her heart.

The overall story was good and kept my interest through out. I always enjoy this type of drama / romance and this book contained a realistic balance between the main characters growing attractions for each other and fighting to live!. The narration at times was mono in tone yet excellent and expressively acted with the main characters voices which really added emotional depth to any scene.

Wow, this book hits the ground running… When she goes to the bank to deposit money that morning, little does Lia know that the pretty woman she has noticed a few times lately at her favourite coffee place is there too. She doesn’t know either that she is going to get shot by bank robbers and that said woman will save her life. Then move in with her while she recovers. The most important thing she doesn’t know is that the woman, Dylan, is an FBI agent keeping an eye on her in case her ex-husband gets in touch with her on his run from the Giametta crime family.

I love Dylan and Lia together, whether they’re flirting or fighting. At first, when Lia still believes Dylan to be a computer consultant, it seems pretty obvious they’re falling for each other, easily and inevitably. Dylan tries to fight it – she’s on a job, dammit! –, but that’s fate for you. Then when all hell breaks loose and the two women have to run for their lives, they finally find themselves on an equal footing.

I’m surprised Lia didn’t feel like the most unlucky woman on Earth at times, with so many things going wrong. The reader knows why all these things happen, but she doesn’t for the longest while, and I’d have freaked out a lot more than she does if it all were happening to me.

While the pace slows down a bit after the excitement of the beginning, Little Lies is filled with adreline-fueled action scenes and many unexpectedly funny moments (Dylan baking a cake being one of them). I truly enjoyed listening to this book a lot. The narration might not have been as dynamic as I’d have liked every now and then, but it’s pretty good overall. Like many narrators whose work I like, Tia Rider Sorensen is at her best with dialogues, her voices for the different characters are varied and easy to distinguish. I especially liked the voice for Lia, most notably her little “uh huh” sounds, which worked very well with the character.

Little Lies is both fun and charming, totally my kind of book.

What I liked about it was the narrators performance, being able to put exasperation and amusement in voice is a skill and makes this romance so much fun. This would make a great Sunday afternoon movie.

Quirky predictable and so so good
