Despite being exploited for her looks, Phoebe is strong and resilient. It was so sad reading all of the exploitations that they used her for. Meanwhile, Rocky is cynical, protective and prioritizes those he cares about. His actions speak louder than words.

Phoebe and Rocky's connection holds undeniable beauty. Mutual feelings and fear of consequences create a push-and-pull dynamic, keeping them tethered despite the distance.

My favorite part is how tight-knit their group/bond is since childhood! Their loyalty is unwavering, supporting each other through thick and thin.

Overall, loved this book and excited for the upcoming books!

5 stars!!!

tropes: childhood love, con artists, best friends brother, storm clouds

THIS WAS INCREDIBLE. It completely sucked me in from the start and did not let go of me for a second! Rocky & Pheobe had so much tension and their story goes so deep- I can't wait to see what the rest of the series brings!
A bit about the book: Rocky & Pheobe grew up together as part of two tight-knit con artist families but attaching strings to each other is quickly realized as a nonoption. The pieces of themselves they've tried to detach from each other grow bigger. When a con goes wrong and sends Pheobe & her best friend to a rich small town in CT, Rocky tags along to keep his role as their protector.
The depth of their story is INSANE. I have never felt so stressed but so excited to be there in my life!

En primer lugar, gracias por la oportunidad de poder leer este libro. Había leído anteriormente toda la saga Addicted y sabía perfectamente lo encantada que estaría con la pluma de las autoras.

El libro comienza de manera algo lenta, al estar introduciendo esta nueva trama es lo más normal. Los flashbacks al pasado son verdaderamente necesarios y hacen que te intereses muchísimo más por sus consecuencias en el presente.

La segunda mitad del libro es donde todo se pone de vertigo, se empiezan a conocer las consecuencias de las acciones de las protagonistas y empiezan a pasar cosas verdaderamente interesantes.

El final me ha dejado completamente LOCA, necesito URGENTEMENTE el siguiente libro, necesito muchisimas respuestas.

Ig review below :)

Nouvelle série de la part des sœurs Ritchie et je dois dire que je suis totalement sous le charme!

Nous allons suivre Phoebe, une jeune femme qui est issue d’une famille d’escroc mais à la suite d’une énième escroquerie, sa meilleure amie, Hailey lui demande de venir avec elle pour qu’elles puissent construire une vie plus saine. Phoebe accepte de la suivre à Victoria, une petite ville dans le Connecticut… Mais ce qu’elle n’avait pas anticipé, c’était que Rocky, le frère d’Hailey allait les suivre également et pourrait bouleverser tout leur plan…

Waw, quel livre! Je ressors vraiment conquise de ma lecture et je n’ai qu’une seule hâte : d'avoir la suite surtout vu cette fin explosive! L’intrigue est vraiment prenante, on suit Phoebe qui doit s’adapter à cette nouvelle vie mais aussi faire face à ses sentiments envers Rocky. J’ai beaucoup aimé le développement de leur relation au fil des pages mais aussi plongé dans leurs passés si complexes! Mais ce qui m’a le plus plu dans ce livre, c’est la found family qui uni Phoebe, ses frères, Hailey, Rocky et leur petit frère. Elle est vraiment particulière et on les sent vraiment unis, tous prêts à se protéger mutuellement et si l’un d’eux est blessé, ils le sont tous!

En bref, un excellent premier tome !

Dishonestly Yours ✰✰✰✰✰

Happy pub day to Dishonestly Yours 🥳 This book is for lovers of the Addicted Series or someone who wants to be on the edge of their seat during the entire read. The plot, the characters, the romance, the careers 👀 —absolutely addicting

Phoebe and Hailey are best friends, and both are the daughters of con artist families. One day, they decide enough is enough and decide to leave the life of crime. In doing so, they have to cut off their families. Except, that doesn’t go according to plan, because Hailey’s older brother, Rocky (swoon), catches up with the duo and refuses to leave them.

This book is the first of the Webs We Weave series + it was such a hit. I need the rest of the series immediately. I quite literally cannot stop thinking about these characters (nor would I want to).

I can’t wait to compare my arc copy against the published copy so I can share my quotes with y’all. Such beautiful + captivating writing 💖

Dishonestly Yours has an interesting storyline and that is why I wanted to read it. I liked the relationship between Phoebe and Rocky although at times it seems a bit wishy washy. I think I was hoping they would make the leap towards a relationship a bit quicker. And then there was Jake. I also enjoyed the support and close friendship between Phoebe and Hailey. They always had each others backs and allowed each other to drive their friendship forward at different times in their lives. For all three characters the push to change their lives to honest work versus the pull of family and what they have always known was what I thought was the most important part of the story.
In the end I enjoyed but didn’t love the book. I found that dragged on a bit at times which made it difficult to stay engaged.

Absolutely brilliant!!! My favourite romance read of the year so far 🍓🌊🕷️ 5/5 ⭐️

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this book, but it blew me away. The storyline follows Phoebe and her friend Hailey, who are both born into con artist families, fleeing town and trying to life a ‘normal life’ without conning. And guess who tags along? Hailey’s older brother, Rocky 🤭

The plot twists and turns were perfect and the angst between Phoebe and Rocky was everything. I desperately need more of them.

This book was so unique and written in such an engaging way I couldn’t put it down. I was not bored for a second. It started off with a bang and finished with one (that cliffhanger!!)

If you’re looking for something new and refreshing this is it!!

This is the first in a new series, and what an amazing story these authors have weaved a compelling and intriguing story!
Phoebe and Hailey are best friends and from different con families, and when a high stakes con goes wrong, they decide to run to where they can get a fresh start. Rocky is Hailey’s grumpy older brother, and when he catches up with them, he decides to stay with them.
This is a well written easy to read story which has family, friendships, drama, angst, fake dating, emotions, deception, secrets, combustible chemistry, humor, witty banter, and love, which leads to an entertaining, small town romance.
I look forward to reading more from these talented authors’ whose work I highly recommend.

Rating: 3,5☆

⬥︎ I have mixed feelings about this book. I've never read a story like this before, and the Ritchie sisters have a way of gripping you from beginning to end.

⬥︎ Phoebe is a strong and resilient character. I really liked her perspective on life. She's someone who only sees the good in people, believes in family above all else, and has yet to discover herself outside their group. I think her journey will be a hell of a ride. Her character goes through a lot, and it's difficult not to feel sorry for her and want to give her a big warm hug.

⬥︎ Rocky, despite being a bit cynical, is the one who sees things as they really are, having learned that the hard way. Even though he's rough around the edges, he has a big heart and will do everything to protect his family.

⬥︎ Despite enjoying this book, I felt that at a certain point, the story became stagnant, and the "will they, won't they" dragged on a bit. However, I loved the glimpses we had into their past, which gave us a better understanding of their world and showed how close they all are.

⬥︎ Overall, it was a really good read, and I'm very curious about how the series will progress, as not everything is as it seems.

The way I’m already obsessed with this series. The characters are hilarious, the storyline is captivating and that cliffhanger was rude but I cannot wait for the next book

Thank you valentine pr for the ARC

This book was definitely different from the Addicted series with what looks to still feature the Addicted World. The ending caught me off guard and I want to find out what happens next.

WOW! Just wow!
The banter. The tension. The high stakes I WAS LIVINGGGG for it all in this book!

Every character in this book is so carefully crafted and carries their own personal convictions & charm so independently! You can really feel how close knit the two families have molded themselves together and I love how the cast has been set up for future books!

The banter/tension is SO 👏🏻 GOOD 👏🏻 just when you think everything will culminate into a cresting moment, it’s snatched away into a back pocket to taunt you again at a later time in an absolutely delicious way!

The plot was paced well within the writing although there is a lot going on: moving parts between timeline, past character figures, current standings, etc. so it can feel a bit muddled if you’re not rly locked in while reading.

Final thoughts: Rocky. just Rocky…love that man 🫶🏻 i Adored his povs so so much and will be buying a physical copy immediately to transfer every quote of his I highlighted…and I highlighted a lot lol

book two pls 🤲🏻

read if you like:
— family drama
— morally grey mcs
— best friend’s brother
— forbidden attraction
— love triangle (?)
— fake dating

This was my first KBR book and it did not disappoint! Their writing is so entertaining & engaging. Dishonestly Yours pulled me in from the very beginning!

The book starts with Phoebe & her best friend, Hailey, moving to a new town. They are both determined to flee their con-artist families and start fresh. Rocky, Hailey’s brother, decides to come along with them.

I LOVED reading both Rocky and Phoebe’s point of views (past and present). Their relationship is nothing less than complicated. They’ve grown up together in the con-artist world and have been friends, siblings, married, enemies, lovers, and everything in between (whatever they needed to do for the con job they were on). The tension & angst between these two…Shew! 🥵

I’m invested in these characters & cannot wait to see where this series takes me! Can I have the second book now please?!

High angst and addictive. I truly enjoyed this story. The angst, tension, banter, and desire between the grumpy MFC, Phoebe, and the grumpy antihero MMC, Rocky, is superb. I adored seeing Phoebe and Rocky's relationship develop. I enjoyed the mysterious aspect of the book when giving details about Phoebe's past. I was hooked because I had to know what happened. The last bit of the book I was completely engrossed in as the story started to unravel and I was surprised with how the book ended. I have high hopes for the next book with how this book left off. Fantastic story and would definitely recommend it.

Dishonestly Yours follows Phoebe and her best friend Hailey, they come from two con families. They are finished with the life of crime and move to a small town in Connecticut without telling anyone. Rocky, Hailey's older brother finds them and tags along to keep an eye on them. Phoebe and Rocky have a very complicated history, which makes it difficult for them to be together and for them to form a relationship with anyone else. Even though Phoebe and Hailey agreed they were going to be living an honest life now, Phoebe finds it difficult to not fall into past behaviors.

3.5 Stars The morally gray girlies are going to love Dishonestly Yours by Krista and Becca Ritchie!

Best friends Phoebe Graves and Hailey Tinrock are starting fresh in a small Connecticut town to escape the life of crime they grew up in. But their plan is complicated by the fact that Rocky, Hailey's older brother who has a past with Phoebe, has tagged along. Rocky isn't used to living honestly and Phoebe is worried that he'll tempt her back into her old ways where lying is second nature. The longer Phoebe lives this new life, the easier it is to picture what a life with Rocky could look like.

I can honestly say I've never read a book quite like Dishonestly Yours. I don't often read books with the morally gray trope, so I haven't read a book about con artists before and especially not one about con artists trying to leave that life behind. This book had everything I expected from the authors of the Addicted series: angst, tension, secrets, and plenty of drama. Phoebe was a compelling character and it made my heart ache to see how she was used for her body and seen as nothing more than an object by her family. Seeing her overcome feeling like her worth was only in what she could be used for and find comfort and relief in her new small town life was the best part of the story besides her romance with Rocky. Rocky and Hailey were fun characters to read about, especially since they were different under their hard exteriors.

Thank you Valentine PR and Berkley Romance for the ARC!

4.25 stars - arc review. I genuinely really enjoyed this Phoebe and rocky were the perfect opposites yet so similar and their history really strengthens their relationship. I loved Hailey and all the brothers excited to see where the next book goes. Definitely different from the addicted world but if you’ve read it, it has similar found family vibes which I really think makes the book more appealing because you get so connected to these characters and the rollercoaster of emotions you go through are so worth it.

WOW! This book was addicting! I didn’t want it to end. And then it did and I wasn’t prepared for it. I need the next book, like now!
The love between Phoebe and Rocky was so deep and complicated. Their tension was intense. This was most definitely a slow burn. All of the characters were very well developed. The story was so good and the twist had me yelling omg, wtf just happened?!
This was my first, and most definitely not my last book by these authors. Extremely well written!!❤️❤️❤️

Wow!! This was my first Krista and Becca Ritchie book. Safe to say I will be reading more by them. I cannot wait. This book had me wanting to know more, there was slow burn romance, tension, and mystery too. I was wondering who I could trust and needed to know more about the characters pasts. Friendship was displayed so well in this book, and I loved Phoebe and Hailey’s friendship throughout the book. I can’t wait to see how relationships develop throughout the series, and I’m so ready for book 2! I loved the dual POV and also going back and forth between time frames. Such a unique book concept that I haven’t seen before, and I really enjoyed it!!

What a wonderful rollercoaster that I was not expecting and loved for the whole ride!! Phoebe and Hailey decide to break ties with their Con Artist families for a new start. However, Hailey’s brother and Phoebe’s love interest Rocky decides to follow them the craziness begins. I loved seeing them try to go the straight and narrow, with the flashbacks to how their lives were growing up. Slowly the rest of Phoebe and Hailey’s brothers follow them into town and the story gets juicier!! The book was fast paced and sucked me in. I can’t wait for the next part of this rollover coaster in Book 2!!

<b>”"What are you to me now?" | whisper. He shakes his head, uncertain, but he grips my gaze. "I'm just your Rocky."</b>

it’s giving heartbreakers (2001). and i just aged myself. it’s a movie, you younglings. ps. the ending! definitely going to need another book!
