This book was a fun read! Finley heads to Atlantic City with Vero, her nanny, to deal with a loan shark and save Vero's childhood crush Javi. When her mom, kids, and ex-husband decide to tag along with them for a series of crazy hijinks. When her cop boyfriend, sister, and more law enforcement officials came along to help protect her, it became even more complicated.

This is the 4th in the series. I haven't read the others yet, but I felt it was pretty easy to follow along, although it's likely easier to read them in order. I enjoyed the characters and the over-the-top adventures and hijinks of Finley and Vero as they got into one mess after another. I definitely want to check out and read the rest of her books.

Thanks to @stmartinspress, @netgalley, and the author for this arc

this one had me shook! it felt a bit outlandish but overall it was really entertaining! i love that we got to see more developments in the lives of our side characters & we wrapped up our past storyline.

i'm excited for the next book because it seems like we're going to be moving onto an entirely new plot! i'm already giggling thinking about what could possibly happen after reading the epilogue.

Thank you to NetGalley & Minotaur Books for the ARC copy!

Finlay + Vero + road trip + cops = fun! I really love this series and this one also did not disappoint. There are getting to be a lot of characters to keep track of so make sure you read in order so you don't miss out. I cannot wait to continue reading the series and finding out what more crazy hijinks they get into and will their luck run out.

If Elle Cosimano writes about Finlay forever, I will forever be a reader.
I devoured this series!

I ended up listening to this series on audio and the narrative was captivating and well narrated.
I highly recommend this series!

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC

"There's no way your taking him out with Faberware, Finn. You need LeCresulet for that." what better Mom Lit line can you get than that to showcase the off the wall but totally understandable humor, sarcasm, and screwball delight that makes this series work. Although both the last book and Vero's novella had a few hiccoughs, this book brought Finley and Vero back into five star territory for me. With even more LOL moments and a wonderfully brisk pace, I was quickly drawn back into this series with Rolls the Dice.

Please Note- This series is not for those who are looking for a true crime story - and I love that this book is not trying to be that! This is a fun adventure written for looking for a Saturday Matinee Classic that lets you think back all week to a favorite scene with a smile or smirk because it was just that amusing and enchanting.

I loved the first two books in this series, but Book 3 was too out there. I debated about continuing the series and waited a year after its release before picking it up. This one picks up where the last one left off. In order to fully enjoy it, I feel you need to read the rest of the series.

What was supposed to be a girls’ trip ends up a family vacation, including the ex-husband, Steven. The hijinks and dead bodies in this one are a little too much, but dare I say, maybe better than how book 3 was. It interested me, and I chuckled at a few parts (I loved the dog!). I already have the next in the series, so I will give that one a go, too.

The whole gang is on a road trip to Atlantic City to rescue Javi from a load shark and to once again (hopefully) thwart Russian mobster Felix in this action-packed rom-com adventure! Every book of this series is better than the one before. Cosimano has yet to plateau.

There's plenty of danger, quick-thinking, creative twists, relationship growth and I cannot get enough! If you aren't already hooked on this series (it's a perfect summer beach binge) you are missing out!

Another fun installment to the Finlay Donovan series! I don't know how Cosimano does it, but I live that I'm always guessing to the very end. Can't wait for the next one.

Finlay Donovan and her ever-growing entourage are on the move with a road trip to Atlantic City! This book is absolutely ridiculous in the best way possible. This might be the funniest book of the series for me. There was a LOT going on throughout this whole story, and I was happy to see some of the storylines resolved by the end of the book. Finlay and Vero continue to be my favourite relationship, but I absolutely loved seeing Finlay & Nick and Vero & Javi having their moments too. The storylines are so far-fetched and a comedy of errors, but that's exactly what I expect from these books now. They are an entertaining escape from reality, and I'm here for the ride.

This might be my most favorite of the Finlay series yet! It was soo fun and crazy action packed! I loved the ending and the setup for the next one! I love the side missions we get to go on with Finlay and Vero. The strip club part was my favorite I was laughing/crying haha poor mama didn't know what she was getting herself into.

Okay so Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice was... fine. Like, I didn’t hate it, I still love Finlay and Vero’s chaotic crime-girlie energy, but this one just didn’t hit like the first two. The Atlantic City setting had potential, but the plot felt a little too all over the place and not quite as sharp or hilarious as I was hoping. It gave more filler episode than season finale, if you know what I mean. I’ll still read the next one because I’m invested in this hot mess of a series, but I kinda miss the tight pacing and unhinged brilliance of Killing It. Here’s hoping book four brings the heat back.

Somehow Finley finds herself on a road trip with her mom, sidekick Vero, her kids and ex husband what could possibly go wrong?! This was my least favorite of the series. At first it started strong but I became bored towards the end.

I feel like these books keep getting better and better. Finlay and Vero’s characters are growing with every book. I am very happy with the way this one ended and I’m excited to see what trouble those two can get into next.

I recently had the pleasure of reading this, and I have to say, it exceeded my expectations in so many ways. From the very first page, I was hooked by the engaging style and the intriguing characters. The author does an excellent job of building a world that feels both immersive and believable, making it easy to get lost in the story. The plot was full of twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. Just when I thought I had it figured out, the story would surprise me with something unexpected. I highly recommend this and all their work.

In this book Finlay and Vero are heading to Atlantic City to find Javi who was kidnapped at the end of the last book. Susan, Finlay's mom, decides to come and Steven tags along because he doesn't want his kids taken out of state. What could possibly go wrong? These books really have to be read in order and one story takes up where the last left off and adds more characters and more complications show up as Finlay and Vero find more bodies and flit around AC hiding from Steven and Susan and everyone else who showed up. They keep digging themselves deeper and deeper and Zach is still not potty trained. The character list got longer and longer. I had a hard time suspending my beliefs in this one. The banter between Vero and Finlay which was kind of fun in book 1 is getting tiresome this time around. I had hoped that with most of the loose ends tied up this was the end but it ends on another cliffhanger. To be honest I'm kind of disappointed and feel like I am hate reading right now. I'm not really a fan of Finlay and I have a hard time rooting for anyone except maybe Susan.

Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for providing me with a digital copy.

Finlay is incredible, and this installment was even better than the last - these just keep getting funnier and better.

This continues to be a fun series to read. I love the relationship between Finlay and Vero. They have such a great friendship, and they always back each other up. The plot is starting to get very convoluted and unbelievable. It does seem like the majority of this plot is done. Which I am very happy about. I’m ready for the series to continue on to new adventures. I like the setting for this one. I like all of the side characters, except for Steven. I am excited to find out what Steven has been up to in the next book.

That quote from Finlay's partner in crime, Vero Ruiz is my favorite from the series. It really shows the dynamic between the two women, as well as showing of Vero's humorous side no matter the circumstances they find themselves in... and let me tell you they get into situations they never could have dreamed of in the fourth book of the Finlay Donovan series. As with the other books in the series, I read this one cover to cover in just a matter of nights, and that includes late nights spent studying Chemistry for nursing school. Every book in the series has been such a fun read, and it's going to be hard to let the characters go when I read the last book in the series next month.

Oh my goodness! This one takes the cake!

Needing a girl's weekend away, (actually trying to tie up Vero's arrangement with a loan shark and rescue kidnapped Javi), the girls are heading off to Atlantic City. Unfortunately, Finlay's ex-husband, Steven, and her mom decide to tag along, bringing the children too. Our girls find the loan shark murdered and realize that his book of business could fall into a successor's hands and Vero will never be out from under this burden and Javi never found. Needs must; the girls are on the case at about the same time the cops from back home, (including dishy Nick), are looking for the loan shark's nephew. Could it get any worse?! Can all be set right and Javi placed safely back in Vero's arms?

Author Elle Cosimano is brilliant in her writing of this series. The characters are hilarious in their dialogue and cutting remarks. The women are strong and clever while many of the men are rather morally challenged. Finlay Donavan and her nanny, Vero, make for a dubious duo in this series and their antics keep the reader chuckling. The spark between Finlay and detective Nick Anthony burns brighter with each new page. It's a wild ride for sure and nowhere near believable, yet oh so fun!

I am grateful to Minotaur Books for having provided a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Their generosity, however, has not influenced this review - the words of which are mine alone.

Finaly is on her way to Atlantic City... with her mom, ex-husband, kids, and her side-kick Vero. While her mom and ex think they are going along while Finaly and Vero have a girls' weekend, Finaly and Vero are up to more trouble!

This book had so many twists and turns, relationships on the rocks, new relationships, new friendships, chasing kids, distracting loved ones, and so much more! Even Kevin Bacon!

This was the best book in the series so far!
