Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice finds Finlay and Vero heading to Atlantic City for a girl’s weekend, unfortunately accompanied by Steven, Finlay’s mom, and the kids. They’re desperate to find a way to pay back the loan shark Vero borrowed money from, and to save Javi and avoid Zhirov’s goons and the FCPD while they do it.
Thank you to Elle Cosimano, NetGalley, and St. Martin’s Press for a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book was so fun! Running around Atlantic City with Finlay and Vero while they tried to solve each new mystery with increasing desperation was so intriguing! With every new twist in the story, I was dying to know how Finlay and Vero would manage to stay out of trouble and off of the police’s radar! I loved Vero finally getting her romance subplot in this book, too!
That final twist at the end?? I can’t wait to dive into the next book to find out who the dead person is, and how they ended up buried in Mrs. Haggerty’s backyard!

Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice by Elle Cosimano--Book 4 in the series finds Finlay and Vero in Atlantic City looking for Vero's former boyfriend Javi and a missing Aston Martin. They need money too and the Russian mob is still after them. Finlay's mom, ex, and children have tagged along unaware of the situation and the hot cop ends up in Atlantic City too. Plenty of hijinks ensue but I didn't enjoy this installment quite as much. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the digital copy.

I was issued these books for my unbiased review.
I really enjoyed these books. I was issued the entire series of Finlay Donovan stories. They are all stand alone, but I think that for the greatest enjoyment they should be read in order. The duo of Finlay and Vero are so much fun. They keep getting into crazy situations--and find their way out of them. Great read, funny and innovative. All the characters are well placed and just a pleasure.
Read them you will have a great ride!

This was my favorite book of the series thus far. We finally get a Vero and Javi moment along with more of Finlay and her hot detective, Nick. Add in her ex husband and mother, and you get one hilarious chaos trip to Vegas. The mystery was challenging and kept my brain engaged wondering how is the author going to get Finlay out of this mess this time. What a fun read.
This review is entirely voluntary, and all opinions expressed reflect my personal views.

Best one yet! Finlay is getting her feet under her! She is the luckiest, craziest heroine yet!
I was concerned after the 3rd book. I thought the series had become the same thing over and over. Not after this one.
Can't wait for the next one!

This series just hits. This is my favorite book so far out of the series. The romance has been kicked up a notch and I am absolutely here for it.
These books are a whirlwind. You are just doing everything you can to keep up with the characters while they are trying to figure out the mystery that is unfolding. You are sitting there creating your own theories of your own to solve it.
But the comedy is just it. In my opinion so well done. Finlay and Vero have the perfect friendship and will always be there for each other and get each other out of sticky situations.
The setting in this book was fun because I live not far from Atlantic City. I felt I could just picture it all when they visited all these places in the area.
The writing in the series is just well done as well. I am never dragging myself to read it. I think the audiobooks are so well done and narrated perfectly.
I can't wait to read the next book and see how Finlay digs her own grave even further. Please just tell Nick the truth.

This series gets better and better!! The disasters that ensue are wild and comedic to say the least. Kevin Bacon is an iconic character! This one is my favorite so far! I can’t wait to read the next one!

I think these books get crazier and crazier. The setting of Atlantic City was fun and I know the area well, but I do wonder how Finlay continues to get herself and Vero in these situations. This book is just as bonkers as the others with outlandish plots, but again it's a fun and well paced read.

Okay, I think this might be my favorite Finlay. The banter, the hijinks, the romance, THE LAST SENTENCE SURPRISE. This was Finlay Donovan’s world at its most chaotic and I loved every second of it. I just enjoy this group of characters so much and I felt like we got so many great moments with them in this book. I really loved seeing Finlay and her mom connect and also Finlay standing her ground with Steven. There is A LOT happening in this book and I did feel like I had to reread some parts to make sure I had every plot point straight, but truthfully that was fine by me because it was just such a fun book. I cannot wait to read book five and see what happens next, especially with that ending!
CW: murder, death
Thank you to NetGalley and Minotaur Books for the digital readers copy!

Ok, this was my favorite Finlay Donovan book so far!! I could NOT put this one down. Apologies to my husband as I ignored him all night to finish this in one sitting.
The characters, the interactions, the hijinks, were all perfect in this one. Loved loved loved it!!!

Thanks to NetGalley and Minotaur Books for the bundle of Finlay Donovan books in exchange for an honest review!
Listened to this one on audio and it was so much fun! I have quite missed Finlay and Vero’s shenanigans.
The way my jaw continues to drop in various moments - Steven, ex-husband, refusing to let Finlay take the kids without him. Mom coming along on the “girls trip”. The cops/Nick showing up in Atlantic City.
I really love Finlay and Vero’s friendship. During this book I also found myself loving Sylvia’s remarks too.
PS. THE DANG CHEERIOS!!
I’m so ready for book 5, Finlay Donovan Digs Her Own Grave.

Finlay and Vero are at it again! This time we are taking a road trip to Atlantic City and everyone is along for the ride! I absolutely love this series. It’s fun, interesting and wild! I feel like I agree with other reviewers that I have to ask aren’t there cameras in casinos??? Anyway what a fun ride and I can’t wait to see what happens next!
Thank you to Elle Comsimano, Minotaur publishing and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Just like the first 3 of this series, this book was action from first to last page. The trouble that Finlay and Vero find is amusing and worrying lol. How could anyone's luck be this bad? She swears no more dead bodies, and then she stumbles on 2. Somehow its her responsibility to find the killers instead of just walking away. But there wouldn't be a story if she walked away right? I liked that there was more back story on Vero, and look forward to future books how Vero's marriage changes things for Finlay.
All around a good book, fun to read and never a dull moment.

I absolutely loved this book. It was funny and mysterious and I love all of the characters! Seeing my favorite characters up to their usual nonsense was so fun.

I read 100 pages of this book and have decided to not continue. My rating is based on what I read. Everything that was happening in this book seemed so over the top. I felt like it was supposed to be entertaining, but I found myself rolling my eyes. The series is starting to feel too much to believe and I'm not enjoying it any more.

Finlay and Vero are at it again. Headed on a road trip to Atlantic City with a few extra unexpected travelers. The characters are so fun but this was my least favorite in the series. The first few books I found myself laughing and enjoyed the storyline but this one was just too unbelievable and I found myself getting bored with it.
Thanks to St Martins Press and NetGalley for an ARC.

I was a big fan of the first Finlay Donovan series, but feel like I've lost a lot of love as the series has gone on. We've moved on from the books being fun, light-hearted humor, to just downright unbelievable scenarios. I think what draws people to the first Finlay book is that it could actually. conceivably happen, but we've moved way beyond that. I loved the Stephanie Plum series, for what that's worth! I know a lot of comparison between the two. This book is definitely not a stand alone and should be read in order.
Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Book four in the Finlay Donovan series.
If you’re a fan of the adventures of Finlay and her nanny/side kick Vero, you’ll enjoy another adventure as they head off to Atlantic City for a girls trip that turns out to be anything but relaxing as they are joined by Finlay’s mother, children, ex husband, sister and members of their local police department. This ARC was provided by St Martin’s Press via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Every book is so much fun, this one was probably my least favourite but it was still a good time! I'm glad it seems a certain storyline has come to a close because by this book it felt a bit dragged out.

I love Finlay Donovan and this fourth installment in the series is a fun fun ride that I thoroughly enjoyed. In this adventure Finlay and her sidekick Vero take a road trip to Atlantic City on a new mission. When her ex-husband, mother and children want to go along things get confusing and hilarious!!! I always look forward to reading the adventures of Finlay Donovan!!!
Thank you netgalley for providing several of this series to read and review!!!
