I find this series to be a better version of the Stephanie Plum books and certainly better than the latest few. 

Finlay is hilarious and I love that Vero is getting more depth as is Steven. 

I can't wait to see where things go with the "hot cop" LOL aka Nick. I have to say if my life was that nuts I'd turn it into a book too! 

Overall this book was really fun and I'd say better than the first. I  recommend these books to anyone who enjoys funny mysteries with a dash of romance.

While I didn't love this one quite like I did the first one, it was still really fun!! I didn't totally hate the love triangle (Team Nick), and I adore Vero and Finlay's relationship. Will definitely be continuing in this series.

Didn’t like it as much as the first in the series. Still a solid, fun beach/holiday read. Be prepared to completely suspend reality while reading.

 I love these books so much. The way Elle Cosimano writes is just so addicting, her characters are hilarious and the plot twists in both Finlay Donovan books have had me gasping out loud, screaming in surprise. I cannot believe I am expected to wait until January for the third book, I don't think I'll survive.
I inhaled this book just as I did the first one, I enjoyed it so much. The plot was intriguing, Finlay's writers block was so relatable, and I'm still kinda rooting for her to end up in a poly relationship with Nick and Julian, or just end up hooking up with Vero. I mean Vero is already the perfect step-parent to Zach and Delia sooooo, just saying.
