Resumen del Editor

From New York Times best-selling author Elle Cosimano, comes Veronica Ruiz Breaks the Bank—a hilarious short story diving into Finlay Donovan's partner-in-crime Vero's past.

Anyone can spot a window of opportunity, but not everyone can manage to fall straight through one.

Veronica Ruiz is on the run for the first time in her life—though certainly not the last. After being falsely accused of stealing money from her college sorority, she packs up and heads to her cousin Ramón's apartment, planning to change her name and rebuild start over away from backstabbing girls and university drama (and far, far away from her arrest warrant in Maryland).

At the local bank on the first morning of her new life, it occurs to Vero that she'd be a better bank teller than most of the current employees: she may not have much money, but what little she does have, she knows how to manage. Unfortunately, the only available position is a cleaning job and so, desperate for a fresh start, she takes the bank manager’s offer.

But nothing in Vero's world has ever been simple, so of course shortly after she begins work, she overhears a conversation between her new boss and a security guard: someone who works there has been stealing. Seeing a window of opportunity, Vero sets out to find the identity of the thief, present the evidence, and then push for the perfect job. All of which would be easier if her irresistibly infuriating childhood crush Javi wasn’t living in the same damn town.

Offering the insight that listeners have been craving into fan-favorite Vero's past and a closer look at the moment Finlay and Vero first meet, Veronica Ruiz Breaks the Bank is a can't-miss addition to the Finlay Donovan series.

bad narration!

no! I was super excited about this story,but I'm super disappointed. The switch in the narration from the other books is horrible. Stacy who does the new narration doesn't speak with the right attitude or connotation... please get Angela to re-record this. the new voice just doesn't fit the character we know and love, she didn't even try. based on the voice she used, she didn't listen to ANY of the other books.

Narrator

Please have Angela Dawe read all your books! She is amazing!! She pulls you in to your stories!!

Really cute!

It was nice to hear a little more about Vero’s background. Unfortunately, the narrator didn’t bring much energy to telling the story.
I’m hoping that Angela Dawe will be narrator for the next full installment next March.

I love this author.

Vero needs to have the same voice as in the Finley Donovon books. It’s part of what makes her so awesome and spunky.

Love more of Vero!!!

LOVED getting more of Vero’s story!!! She’s hilarious and it’s super cool getting to know more of her history before Finley. The narrator was meh, which is weird because Elle’s narrators are normally awesome, but the story is still enjoyable and its short enough that the weird emphasis on random words and the way she says statements as if they’re questions is tolerable. Overall, still loved it!

Elle Cosimano does it again!

Great novella about Vero! I love the Finlay Donovan series and can’t wait for book 4.

Love Vero

I just love Vero! She is a well thought out character that just jumps off the page/audio. Love her backstory! Thanks for this.

Can’t wait for the next book

I have enjoyed this series and cannot wait for the next book! So much fun

Could have used a better narrator

I liked that there was a short story from the Finlay Donovan series. But they should have used the same narrator. This was very bland.

I had high hopes for this one

I love the series so I was hoping g this would be just as creative and fun. I was disappointed that Vero’s voice was not the same from the series and just didn’t feel the story- I appreciate how she brought Vero’s story line inter grated with series but I wasn’t a fan of this one.
