Ahhhhhh the girls are back and this time they are in one of my favorite places - Atlantic City!! I am a huge fan of gambling and while Finlay and Vero did anything BUT I still enjoyed the two navigating through the casinos and through the streets of AC.
•
Finlay and Vero are on a vacation with literally everyone, including Finlay’s ex, her mom, her new boo and sister, talk about awkwardddddddd. I was actually cackling out loud through so much of this book. I seriously think Vero and I would be the best of friends because she just has the darkest humor and absolutely no filter - its me hi!! I love her so much.
•
I flew through this one, it was witty and suspenseful and I loved the entire story from start to finish. I love how the ending of this one lets you know that once again this duo will be back!! If you’re looking for a fun, quirky, witty, suspenseful and (even) cozy series - look no further. I am obsessed and will be recommending this series forever.

I listened to this one via audiobook while simultaneously reading my eARC. Angela Dawe narrates the entire series and she is absolutely phenomenal. I loved everything about her narration. I love her! If your a big audiobook reader - this is one for you!!

Finally Donovan Rolls The Dice will be releasing on 3/5 - make sure get this one! Huge thank you to NetGalley, Elle Cosimano, Macmillan Audio and St. Martins Press, Minotaur Books for the eARC and ALC in exchange for my honest review.

I am absolutely obsessed with this series. I was so excited to be approved for this advanced readers copy, especially because the third book ended on a cliffhanger and I needed to know what was going to happen next. I love the mix of mystery, comedy, and romance. I've recommended this series to many friends and even my mom, who is anxiously awaiting the publication of this instalment (she's first on her library waiting list!).

I can't wait to see what else Finlay, Vero, and company get up to next.

I have loved the Finlay Donovan series since the very first book, however "Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice" is now my FAVORITE book in the series. I was on the edge of my seat, dying to know what happens next the entire book, while also genuinely laughing out loud because, of these dynamic and hilarious characters who truly do "leap off the page". This book went back to the roots of the first book in the best way possible with the suspenseful murder mystery vibes, high stakes, hilarious banter, and incredible friendships.

Something that really stood out to me about this book vs the others in this series was how absolutely bad ass all of the women are. Finlay has reached the point in her character development where she no longer is taking shit from anyone, not her shitty ex-husband, not the Russian Mob, not the Pit Bosses, not the corrupt cops, NO ONE. Vero's aways been a standout as the smart "take no shit one" of their duo, but her being emotional in this, made her even more of a bad ass to me and allowed me to appreciate her even more as a character. There will also be some women who surprise you who stand up to the men in this book & there's a lot of really powerful messages in it.

I know I know I know this isn't technically a romance novel, but as a romance girly I do always love to highlight the romantic parts of the series: At the end of "knocks em dead", Finlay ended the love triangle by making her choice between the two potential love interests, but even so, there is no lack of tension between her and the sexy cop- and there's still an overarching question of what is going to ultimately happen between them.

Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice picks up right where FD Jumps the Gun leaves off, which is a treat for readers and fans to be able to jump directly back into the story.

Finlay and Vero are heading to Atlantic City to locate Javi, when it turns into a Donovan family trip. Everyone ends up onboard for this adventure and needless to say, the shenanigans start to occur. Especially when sexy Detective Nick shows up!

Yes, there are a LOT of coincidences. However, this was a FUN read, there are dead bodies piling up, missing people to find, steamy love scenes, and great friendships and family dynamics. That's a lot for readers to enjoy.

I've enjoyed all the booked in the Finlay Donovan series, I would recommend these and this one included to mystery fans who enjoy a fun twist.

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for providing an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Elle Cosimano hits it again with another installment in the Finlay Donovan series! As a native Jersey resident, this book hit different. Also, it hit even more because I have been to Atlantic City in the dead of winter, and it was so easy to picture everything that Cosimano painted for us. I was so happy to be reconnected with Finlay and Vero on yet another crazy adventure. All of their antics continue to crack me up, and I love how the kids are incorporated into each story. Somehow, someway Finlay always solves the case and ties it up in a nice little bow for us readers. I'm rating this a 4, but more like a 4.5.

This installment of Finlay Donovan was so much fun. I laughed out loud and hoped for the best fo each of them. I really do enjoy this series.

Picking right up where book #3 left off! Finlay and her partner-in-crime Vero plan a girls' weekend in Atlantic City, but their cover story quickly unravels as they negotiate with a dangerous loan shark to save Vero's crush and retrieve a stolen car. With unwanted company in tow, including Finlay's ex-husband and mother, their rescue mission takes a deadly turn when they discover the loan shark dead. Now, Finlay and Vero must navigate a web of deceit, jealous exes, and suspicious police as they race to solve the mystery and escape Atlantic City alive.

I absolutely love this series! Each book is packed with outrageous humor that keeps me hooked from start to finish.

Thank you to Minotaur and NetGalley for the ARC! The Finlay Donovan series is one of my favorites and this entry did not disappoint! Finlay, Vero, and the extended crew are back again for more hilarious hijinks, this time in Atlantic City. This series is the perfect balance of mystery, humor and authenticity. I love the characters so much, and that sentiment doesn’t wane as the cast continues to grow.

This felt like somewhat of a conclusion to the current saga/prominent storyline but by no means a conclusion to the series. I loved the way things wrapped up and I’m beyond excited to see what Finlay, Vero and the gang get into next. This is a must read series, and this installment is excellent!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just when I think this series can’t get any better! Finlay Donovan is coming into her own for sure and I’m here for all of it! The friendship between Vero & Finlay is probably my favorite part of this whole series. Lots of great characters in this latest installment. Even Kevin Bacon!

Finlay and Vero are back at it. They are chasing mob bosses, raising kids and hiding bodies, all while finding some romance !! This was cute and enjoyable but not as good as the first 3 in the series. I give it 3.5 stars.
Thank you to Netgalley, St.
Martins Press / Minotaur books for the arc in exchange for my review.

I received the arc for this and omg I’m so happy I did! I love this series so much! That ending though 😳 I’m curious how this series will continue with that…

The Finlay Donovan books are my comfort reads. I know I’m going to laugh with old friends and watch them get into trouble. The books never fail to entertain the whole way through.
Now that I’m a seasoned Finlay fan, four books in, I feel like this review should be a little different. Instead of telling you what I loved about the book (everything!), I’m going to play a little word game. It’s a IFYKYK game. I’m just going to throw out some words associated with moments in, Finlay Donovan Rolls The Dice, and if you have read the book already you will laugh and get it. If you haven’t, then read the book so you can join the fun!!

As always, Finlay Donovan is a delight.

This is the 4th book in the Finlay Donovan series. The story continues where it left off in book 3. There is a resolution but also a bit of an open ending allowing for a continuation in another book. While I loved the first book in the series I felt that all of the other ones fell short. I feel the same about this one. It just did not excite me. I love Finlay and Vero but it became a bit corny at times. I think I may be done with this series.

"'No! No, no, no, no,' I said, covering my eyes. 'There are not supposed to be any more dead guys! No more dead guys! It's only been ten days since the last one! Why does this keep happening?'"

In this latest installment from author Elle Cosimano, Finlay and the gang try their luck in Atlantic City, and, well, it wouldn't really be a Finlay Donovan novel if she and Vero didn't encounter any dead bodies, right? It seems like things just never go smoothly for them.

What an absolute blast! This one had me outright cackling. There are wacky antics, one-liners, and plenty of banter. Plus we get glimpses into the romantic relationships that started in earlier books.

I received an advance copy of the ebook from St. Martin’s Press, Minotaur Books and NetGalley. All review opinions are my own.

4 stars - Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice picks up from book 3. Finlay and her partner in crime, Vero decide to go on a girl's trip to Atlantic City because they need to find the stolen Aston Martin and Javi, Vero's childhood crush. Unexpectedly, Finlay's ex-husband and her mother also join the trip along with some surprise guests.

The book is just as funny and cheeky as the previous ones, with all the cool characters we know and love, plus some new ones. I really enjoyed the unexpected plot twists, and the book leaves off on a total cliffhanger, so I can hardly wait for the next one!

Thanks to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

I have to admit that when the opportunity was presented to read an advanced copy of "Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice", I was so excited but yet a little apprehensive. I had been a big fan of the first three Finlay Donovan books but t have to unfortunately say that the last in the series was not my favorite. So set in my anxiety - if the third was not my favorite, how would the fourth be? Had my love for the beloved Finlay and Vero subsided? Would the series be ruined for me if I read on?

Ohhhh, was I wrong!!!

Elle Cusimano succeeded in what many authors can not. Continue a series into four major books (and a .5 backstory) and end up with number 4 being as good as the first if not possibly the best!!!! Almost every character plays a role in this installment, as we follow Finlay and Vero on a "girls trip" to Atlantic City, with the kids, Finn's mom and ex-husband in tow. As we know, there were many loose ends and business to take care of so I can assure there is plenty of action, close calls, hi jinx and for sure laughs. It is so hard to write a review on this one without giving any spoilers to the first three books but every absurd, open ended story lines all connect in such a fun way.

Just as I am sitting here writing this review, I hope Elle is writing the fifth installment which I will be waiting for with no apprehension. Thank you to Minotaur Books, St, Martins Press and NetGalley for the opportunity of reading the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

This book was so fun! I felt like the previous Finlay Donovan book (Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun) was lacking for me so was very happy when I read this new one in the series. The setting of Atlantic City fit the chaotic vibes perfectly and was full of big money, casinos, and even an adorable dog named Kevin Bacon. I also loved how some of the previous storylines came to a nice conclusion but the ending also made me excited for the next book in the series!

Elle Cosimano's latest installment in the Finlay Donovan series, Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice, is a rollercoaster of a read from start to finish. Picking up where the previous book left off, this novel plunges readers back into the chaotic yet endearing world of Finlay Donovan and her unconventional partner-in-crime, Vero.

In desperate need of a break, Finlay and Vero concoct a plan for a girls' weekend getaway to Atlantic City. However, as with anything involving Finlay, things quickly escalate into a high-stakes adventure. What begins as a cover story for a negotiation with a dangerous loan shark soon morphs into a mission to save Vero's childhood crush and recover a stolen car. With Finlay's ex-husband Steven and her meddling mother in tow, the trip becomes even more complicated, adding layers of tension and humor to the narrative.

Cosimano masterfully blends elements of mystery, suspense, and humor, creating a gripping storyline that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. The dynamic between Finlay and Vero continues to be the heart of the series, with their witty banter and unwavering loyalty to each other providing both entertainment and depth to the narrative.

What sets Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice apart is its ability to balance pulse-pounding action with moments of genuine emotion and humor. Despite the high-stakes situations, Cosimano infuses the story with lighthearted moments and clever dialogue that keep the tone engaging and the characters relatable.

Additionally, the ensemble cast of characters adds richness to the story, with each member bringing their own quirks and complexities to the table. From Finlay's exasperating ex-husband to Vero's charmingly inept love interest, every character feels fully realized and contributes to the overall enjoyment of the novel.

Overall, Finlay Donovan #4 is a captivating addition to the series that will leave readers eagerly awaiting the next installment. Elle Cosimano has once again proven herself to be a master of the genre, delivering a thrilling and thoroughly entertaining read that is sure to delight fans of mystery and comedy alike.

This book is the fourth book in the Finlay Donovan series. This book picks up where the last book left off. Finlay and Vero are at it again. This time in Atlantic City. This story is action packed with many hilarious moments. Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press/Minotaur Books for the E-ARC. This is my own opinion.

“Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice” is filled with action packed thrills.

The story picks up seamlessly from installment #3, “Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun”. Finlay and Vero are going on a girls trip to Atlantic City. But instead of endless gambling, the two are on a mission to find a stolen Aston Martin and Vero’s childhood crush, Javi. But the trip doesn’t go as planned when our favorite additional cast of characters tag along for the ride (along with some newbies).

Finlay’s ex-husband and mother strategically maneuver their way on to the roadtrip. But that’s not all. Finlay’s love interest, Nick and her law enforcement sister end up crashing the party as well.

Non-stop OMG moments and laughing out loud will overtake you as you wind through this chaotic mystery.

The ending sets up book #5 perfectly! I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

Do yourself a favor and pick this book up. It will keep you entertained from the very beginning.

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press, NetGalley and Elle Cosimano for the opportunity to read this DRC in exchange for my honest review.
