Review

Veronica Ruiz Breaks the Bank is a fun and fast-paced glimpse into Vero’s backstory, giving readers a deeper look at one of the most beloved characters from the Finlay Donovan series. While she’s been a favorite of mine, this novella peels back the layers of her personality, showing us what shaped her into the fiercely loyal, quick-witted, and resourceful woman we know and love. The story not only adds depth to her character but also lays the groundwork for the relationships we see develop in the main series. It’s a perfect little bonus read for those craving more insight into Vero’s past and the circumstances that led her to become entangled with Finlay’s world.

Though short, this novella packs plenty of humor, heart, and a touch of the chaos that makes the Finlay Donovan books so entertaining. It’s a great companion piece for fans of the series, filling in some gaps while keeping the same engaging tone and energy.

If you’ve ever wanted to see more of Vero outside of Finlay’s perspective, this story delivers just that—giving her the spotlight she deserves.
