Rolling the Dice
The new gripping gangland thriller from Stephanie Harte is perfect for fans of Kimberley Chambers, Martina Cole and Jacqui Rose.
All they want is a brighter future but will taking a risk be worth the gamble?
Finn McCaskill feels like he's hit the jackpot when he lands a security job at London City Airport handling pallet loads of cash. Old friend Paul Best sees a lucrative opportunity and can't let it pass them by...
Lola Marshall hoped moving to London would help her escape her abusive relationship but when she meets Paul she's torn between following her head and her heart...
DI Abbie Kingsly is called in to investigate a robbery at the airport. With very little to go on, will she be able to solve the case before the trail runs cold?
When they each roll the dice there are no guarantees. Which one of them will pay the highest price? Nothing in life is free.

Finn McCaskill gets a job at London City Airport. He handles pallets worth millions. Finn and his cronies decide to rob the airport. Lola's boyfriend Troy has become very possessive with her. He has started hitting her, but he goes too far one day and Lola goes to a woman's refuge in London. She gets a job working in a casino where she meets Paul Best, one of the airport robbery gang, and quickly finds herself falling for him. DI Abbie Kingsley is in charge of the investigation.
What a gripping read this is. I never saw some of the twists coming. This is a well written read that's also heartbreaking in places. The characters are well developed and some will even get under your skin. I could not put this book down, I was hooked after I had read a few pages. DI Abbie Kingsley wants to quickly catch the perpetrators and prove to her male colleagues that she is just as good, if not better, in her job as they are.

Great book and well written.
This story has two halves that throughout the story come together very cleverly.
Lola who is in an abusive relationship with Troy, and Paul with his friends decide to rob an enormous amount of money from London city airport.
An explosive tale of abuse, fear, thrills, and crime.
I feared for Abbi's life when she was with Troy, will he kill her from all the abuse he's put her through?
Will Paul and his friends work out how to succeed in the robbery?
Would they go through with it? We follow the tension and thrills throughout this book until the gripping end.
Very cleverly written.

Another Enjoyable read.
Going through my TBR list and trying to read as much as I can. Quite pleased that I chose this book as my next read as I really did enjoy it.
Lola is in a disastrous, violent relationship. She needs to get out of it. Can she make a fresh start and get away. Who can she trust.
When no one is as they seem life can get complicated. We are about to hit choppy water to get through this.
This book has it all, Murder, deception, violence, fraud, greed.
It was a very easy to follow read and didn't become over complicated at all. It was nice to have an interesting yet easy flowing read.

Theft, domestic abuse, murder, greed, corruption.. You name it, this book has it! I do enjoy reads that swap between multiple storylines, makes for an excellent page turner.
The characters were especially believable and some, hugely likeable. I thoroughly enjoyed Rolling the Dice, thought it was very well written and will be keeping my eyes peeled for future releases from Stephanie Harte as usual!

If you love a gangland thriller don't hesitate to buy this book! There's violence, crime, romance and some unpredictably suspect characters that provide some great twists and turns in the plot.
Stephanie Harte is definitely keeping up with the big hitters of this genre such as Martina Cole and Kimberley Chambers and I'm looking forward to her next book already.
