About the Book

A USA TODAY BESTSELLER FROM THE AUTHORS OF THE TIKTOK SENSATION, ADDICTED TO YOU!

Starting fresh is the only way Phoebe can escape a life of crime, but her best friend's older brother complicates honest dreams in this gripping new series from the authors of the Addicted series.

Phoebe Graves grew up in a family where deception and seduction are as commonplace as breathing. The Graves and her best friend Hailey’s family have been on the run their whole lives, but after a high-stakes con job goes south, Phoebe and Hailey decide to run away and start over. The small Connecticut town they settle in seems too good to be true.

The biggest flaw in their plan is Hailey’s frustratingly handsome brother, Rocky, who insists on coming with them. Living honestly isn’t in his DNA, and his past with Phoebe is downright messy. He’s everything she wants, but nothing she can have.

Phoebe worries that Rocky will tempt them back into their old ways, where lying is second nature. She doesn’t want Rocky to mess up the new life she’s begun for herself. The longer she stays in town, the more she realizes what it means to have a reputation—and what a normal life with the man she loves could look like

Review

Dishonestly Yours was different than I had expected. For the most part, I was entertained. And I feel that the Ritchie twins did incorporate some beats that make their book shine. However, something was missing that I can’t quite put my finger on.

It was interesting that Rocky and Phoebe reminded me a little of a couple from their other books. I didn’t mind as much because there are some huge differences. As for the romance, I think it was a solid introduction to these two characters. I wish they hadn’t discovered their feelings about each other in this book. I wanted more longing and a little more dislike of each other before confessing their feelings.

Final Thoughts

After reading Dishonestly Yours, I am invested in how this series will play out. I think it has an interesting premise and that these are interesting characters. This was a solid start. I think the twists were unexpected and did increase my chances of reading the next book. As for the characters, I did love Phoebe. And I loved her friendship with Hailey. Most of the plot depended on that friendship, and I think the authors really sold that. Unfortunately, I’m not fully invested in the other characters. There’s nothing wrong with them per se. I’m hoping that the second book will sell me on them.
