Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice by Elle Cosimano

Since I L-O-V-E-D the first two books in this series I kept pushing on. I didn't care for #3 and was even less impressed with this installment (#4). At times I only kept reading hoping vero would snark.
There were 3 main aspects that turned me off
#1, this turned into part Romance novel. Fin can have a boyfriend, fine, but I was tired of hearing about her throbbing loins or how her boyfriend licked her underwear. While it wasn’t as smutty or as graphic as romance novels can be these scenes had no business being in this book or this series. The author either wants to branch out or needed filler? I started fast forwarding often gross no thanks.
#2 while none of the prior books had what you might call believable plots and storylines, the story is too far-fetched and over the top with coincidences piling on top of each other. The word that comes to mind is incredulous.
#3 vero, my favorite snarky and tough candy shell character turns into an almost love sick puppy who has barely any wit. The fun banter of the first two books is sorely missing.
SUMMARY: Finlay and Vero are headed to Atlantic City when Finlay's ex insists he has to come too because she's taking the children out of state. Finlay's mom is there as well. Then her cop sister and the sister's GF also show up along with Finlay's new boyfriend (also in law enforcement) but not until after F&V find some dead bodies while doing a little B&E. The law people know the badie is back in town and Finlay is at risk... all the drama. (This book is not a stand-alone but finishes the cliffhanger in #3).
Thanks netgalley for my ALC!
