Thank you Berkley Publishing, Valentine PR and Becca and Krista Ritchie for this ARC!
This book starts off immediately following the cliff hanging end of Dishonestly Yours. This book is in Phoebe and Rocky's pov and works to explore their backstories of what led up to who they are now as well as struggling with the ideas that what they know to be their families is essentially a lie. The book alternates from past to present highlighting the experiences they have throughout their time grifting which is impacting the present. Phoebe and Jake are still in a fake relationship while Phoebe's relationship with Rocky is developing further. While struggling with their parent's secret-keeping, the team also plan to pull a con with Jake throughout the story and involves struggles and successes throughout the way and sets up perfectly for the third book.
Guys - Rocky and Phoebe are everything. The BANTER! The YEARNING! I would fold like a lawn chair for Rocky. The friendship between Phoebe and Hailey is so deep and raw. The sibling dynamics between both the Graves and Tinrocks, as well as Rocky's developing friendship with Jake are all elements of the story that just add to the entire reading experience. I gasped, I shed a tear, I was giggling and kicking my feet. Anyone that likes a contemporary, drama-romance book should read this series and this is a hill I will die on. If this series has 0 supporters, then I am dead.

There was definitely more plot and interesting twists, and we got to see more of the cons! I still felt there was something lacking, but the ending!! I did not see that coming. The new love triangle that’s been introduced is definitely going to be interesting too! I was not expecting that twist.
I’d love to see a pov from Nova, Oliver, Hailey, Trevor and even Jake. I’m excited to see more of them in the next book!
Thank you NetGalley and Berkeley for the arc!

I didn’t care for book one too much and if I didn’t have an arc of this book I wouldn’t have continued. I shouldn’t have. This book was not for me. It was way too long at over 500 pages. Nothing major seemed to happen until the end.
I did like that Rocky and Phoebe were together more on page though it felt more like lust than love. I wanted more romantic sweet moments between them.
Hailey’s character annoyed me so much in this book.
Sadly, I won’t be continuing with this series.
Thank you to Berkley Pub and NetGalley for an advanced readers copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

thank you valentine pr the arc !!!!
oh my god this book was crazy. i’ll admit it took me a second to get back into the universe bc it’s been a while (but the character art goes crazy) but once i reoriented myself that’s where it got good
phoebe and rocky have such an intense passionate relationship, you can really tell it’s a kbr book w the way they write soulmates
not only the soulmates tho but the found family (or actual family since it is two families) whatever. the way this book truly felt like a spiderweb of emotions and plot lines and relationships. like truly so much happened in this book i’m kind of overwhelmed and extremely excited to see how it all wraps up
also the haley plot of it all. i need answers and i need it NOW
overall as someone who has rr kbr books time and time again, i can confidently say that this book/universe is different in a good way. it has all the elements i love in their books but the drama of the chase and the cons it truly felt like something id watch on tv

4.25 ⭑ this series is so unique and gripping!!! the final group of plot twists had my jaw on the FLOOR and had tears begging to flow freely.
the dynamics in this story changed a lot from book one, but i loved getting to know some of the other characters even more. jake became one of my favorites, and i’m super excited to see where this series takes him!
phoebe and rocky are even more explosive in this book than they were in the first, and it was truly amazing!! their relationship and their inability to stay away from one another really made this series feel like it was on the same plane as kbr’s other stories. it’s so different from their others, but at its core destructively mine has the same charm and wow-factor that is a kbr staple.

Although I enjoyed the first book in this series, I definitely enjoyed Destructively Mine even more!
Rocky and Phoebe’s story had me in a chock hold the entire time! The twists and turns of this story had me turning the page as fast as I could trying to find out what was going to happen and boy was I surprised! I’m pretty sure my jaw fell open at one point!
The spice in this book was so much better than what we got in the first book and let me just say, Rocky and Phoebe have some incredible chemistry! I found myself just absolutely loving the group dynamics between the Tinrocks and Graves (plus Jake lol) so much!
Now I absolutely need more of this group! This one didn’t quite end on a cliffhanger like the first book but I absolutely can’t wait for another book!

4.5 Stars
This was super fun! Although I wasn’t as obsessed with this one as the first book of the series, but I still really liked it. I’m obsessed with Phoebe and Rocky’s relationship, and I really got to know all the other characters better in this one. I think this book is a really great set up for another one, so I cannot wait to see where this series goes!

"There will never be a day, a night, a minute, a moment, a breath where you aren't destructively mine. And I hope it fucking terrifies you.”
I’m not being dramatic when I say I devoured this book and am now v. mad at myself for not savoring it more slowly… but honestly? I had absolutely no choice in the matter. Krista & Becca Ritchie pulled me in from the vert first chapter! I was completely OBSESSED with every twist and turn, every sly glance between Rocky and Phoebe, and every chaotic but heartwarming moment shared by the Graves and Tinrock crew.
There’s not much more I can say without giving too much away, so I’ll leave you with a few of my overall thoughts:
1️⃣ I love Rocky and Phoebe SO much. They are truly perfect for each other, and I loved seeing more of them romantically… Also, their chemistry is OFF THE CHARTS🔥
2️⃣ Hailey and Phoebe’s friendship continues to be one of my favorite parts of this series. The way they show up for each other is literal friendship goals.
3️⃣ I’m obsessed with the group dynamic. The Graves and Tinrock's are the definition of “ride or die,” and I need more of their chaos ASAP!
My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
If you loved Dishonestly Yours, this is your sign to give it a re-read and then run to grab this one on April 28th!! And if you haven’t started this series yet… bestie, it’s time. Trust me—you’ll be hooked!
BIG thank you to Becca & Krista Ritchie, NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC!

Thank you Valentine PR for the eARC of Destructively Mine in exchange for an honest review.
Releases: April 29, 2025
I really enjoyed this book. Dishonestly Yours set up the dominoes that fell in Destructively Mine. The first book was our building block and this book is where everything unfolded. It is a slower burn than the previous book. However, I didn’t feel bored and I found myself wanting to read more each time. It was suspenseful and spicy. I was so invested in all the information the group was learning in real time that I never wanted to stop reading—I wanted answers just as bad as the characters did. AND AGAIN, I am eating up every little Addicted Series Easter egg!!
Rocky and Phoebe are still everything to me and I truly think their characters came together. Nova, Olly, Hailey, Jake, and Trevor did overpower in some aspects but I actually enjoyed that. I liked that these other characters are getting their moments to shine but I also would LOVE to see some chapters in their POV. With the way it ended I feel like we could really start doing a deeper dive into Hailey and her current situation. She is a character that has so much potential and room for growth. I would love to see things from her POV.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoy this series and I will be impatiently waiting for book three.

Book 2 in the Webs We Weave series was a wild ride—I could not put it down!
Dishonestly Yours ended with so many questions, and this book picked up right where it left off. Phoebe is fake dating Jake, the golden boy of Victoria, but secretly, she and Rocky are finally together. All they want is to be open and honest about their relationship, but first, they have to help Jake.
Then their moms show up with an agenda of their own—and zero answers to the siblings’ questions. Phoebe, her brothers, Rocky, and Hailey are ready to uncover the truth… even if they have to lie to get it.
I absolutely love these siblings and the family they’ve built. Their bond only grows stronger in this book. And we get to see a whole new side of Rocky—which I LOVED. He’s always been protective of his people, but here, we see him extend that to Jake too. And don’t even get me started on how he loves Phoebe. I adore him. He gives off major Connor mixed with Lo vibes… and if you know, you know.
This book had everything—grifting cons, off-the-charts chemistry between Rocky and Phoebe, suspense, mystery, and a couple curveballs at the end that had me reeling. I was literally on the edge of my seat, flipping pages like mad, hoping every question would be answered. Some were… but now I just want more. I can’t wait for the next book!

You know sometimes when the second book in the series doesn't give you everything your heartdl desires? NOT THIS time, Destructively Mine checked all the boxes and more:
✨️ The page-turning drama... oh and it gets good. The character and story building is chef's kiss.
✨️ Dual POV
✨️ Passion and lust so steamy that you share in Pheobe's butterflies.
✨️ Heartfelt found family
✨️ The answers we have all been waiting for.
✨️ Rocky, gets his own box, because DAMN.
.
.
If you have read Dishonestly Yours (and if you haven't please do, do it now) this book seamlessly picks up where we leave off and them takes us on secret unraveling journey. I won't disclose anything here, but I will say that you will be satisfied with what and how you find out what everyone is hiding. But this book will keep you on your toes...because when you think it won't get anymore juicy IT DOES.
.
.
And if that's not enough, Phoebe and Rocky's relationship will keep you more than happy throughout this book. Rocky is definitely in my book boyfriend hall of fame. He's charming, a bit moody, but the best part about his character is how much he cares about the people in his life, especially Pheobe. 🥹🫶🏻. Friends, this is a must read in 2025. Trust me.

Page & Pour Rating: 5✨️

While I did enjoy myself I will say it did take me longer to read it than I thought . The pace did not pick up till half way into the book and I think that’s what made me disconnect a little bit. That being said I loved that there seemed to be more twists and plot within this book. It definitely had more spice than book one. I am glad that some of the characters got answers that they needed but I felt that more questions were left unanswered as well lol . A re read might have been needed but I will definitely continue the seires !

Review goes live April
The tension and silent yearning between Phoebe and Rocky continues in this high stakes sequel to Dishonestly Yours. The chemistry between these two is amazingly well written and you can practically hear it sizzling as you read. I also enjoyed getting to see more of our ensemble cast and get to know them outside of our glimpses to past jobs.
I did get confused at some points and there were time jumps that I felt were abrupt or too long (one of them is 3 months long). I also felt like the writing was not as strong as in Dishonestly Yours.
I really love this story of found family and deception. If you love fake dating with a twist (Phoebe is fake dating Jake, not our MMC Rocky) and sizzling tension, this book is definitely for you.

“Belonging is what we’re taught to do.”
I honestly have no idea how to explain how much I enjoyed this book. Dishonestly Yours was a great start to this trilogy, but Destructively Mine took everything that was great about the first book and elevated it to the next level. The angst, the romance, the betrayals, the cons, the small town vibes, the found family, the friendships, the new ships, the surprises, the reveals. All of it had me excited and or gasping. I think that DM flawlessly balanced the romance and the con/small town drama plots while also throwing in unexpected side quests/stories. This book isn’t even out yet and I honestly can’t figure out what I will do until the NEXT book comes out. I guess I’ll just sit here and stare at my screen because the Ritchie sisters have weaved all the webs and now I’m wondering how we will make our way out of them!

There’s just something about KBR’s writing that is like opening something sacred.
Phoebe and Rocky’s relationship is like a cosmic explosion. It’s full of tension, banter, spice, and it’s awe inspiring.
Their connection is so deep and strong that through every moment it was as if they were tethered and it was beautiful to watch a love so consuming
…
And then the book rose like the tide till it took me under. The end has me pulling my hair, screaming into the abyss, running around in circles.
Oh my GOD

thank you berkley & netgalley for the arc ᥫ᭡
i really wanted to love this book but it sadly fell flat to my expectations. the first half of the bool had me sold, it had me laughing, smiling & genuinely enjoying everything about the book. i really enjoyed the mystery & the little side plots we had & i enjoyed the family dynamics between all the characters but there is just something missing that i can’t put my finger on.
i really enjoyed Phoebe & Rocky’s relationship in the first book but in this one were my least favorites, i found every other character more interesting then them. they had so many sex scenes that i was tired by the first one & skimmed the rest. i also didn’t find myself enjoying the flashbacks as much as i did in the first book. i ultimately don’t have a super strong connection to the characters, i like them but i’m not obsessed with them.
i feel this book has a pacing issue, the first 50% had me hooked then the last 50% had me bored most of the time. i truly believe if this book had more than the two pov’s it would have made for a stronger book. i’m still interested in continuing this series & seeing how it goes.

I was so excited when I was approved for an ARC of this book! I read Dishonestly Yours in a day. I was absolutely hooked. It felt like a modern day Gossip Girl but with an edge - a family of con artists who are looking to escape the lives their parents have created for them. It’s such a unique backdrop for a romance. I also have enjoyed the female friendships in this book.
Destructively Mine was just as addicting as the first book in the series. The progression of Phoebe and Rocky’s relationship was the perfect combination of spice and slow burn.
I may have to give the Calloway sisters series another chance after enjoying these two books so much!
I’m also obsessed with the cover!! It’s so beautiful and will be a great addition to my shelves.

Wow! What a follow up to Dishonestly Yours. This was one of my most anticipated reads, I couldn’t wait to see what would happen after we were left with the cliffhanger in book one. It was such a wild ride, and I loved every word!
This has some of the best found family I’ve ever read, I love all of the characters so much. Especially Rocky and Phoebe, there is so much passion between them. And the whole concept of this story is fantastic. I just love the family of con-artists, and the kids trying to break free from their parents. The writing, setting, connections, characters, all had me hooked and kept me to entertained. I was sad when it ended, I just love them all! I don’t want to give anything away, but I highly recommend!

Thank you Berkley Romance and NetGalley for this ARC!

Over to others. I missed the first book and felt lost in this one. I know there's a huge audience who know and are entertained by these characters but I wasn't one of them. Thanks to netgalley for the ARC.

I didn’t like the first book of this series but I wanted to give the second book a chance but it was just as bad. Thank you for the arc though.
