They were tender and sweet, simultaneously chaotic and framed in a plot that always left me wondering what came next. I was curious to see how the twins would break away from the Addicted universe, but they did quite well with this new start.

This was my first experience with Krista and Becca, and my first complaint is: What was that ending? How dare you! 🫠

🕸 A beautiful "found family" book, where there's a strong relationship of trust between the Graves and the Tinrock siblings, about how they were forced into the world of crime without being given the chance to choose.

💞 Phoebe and Hailey's friendship is wonderful. They protect, support, and love each other. They put their friendship before everything, even their family, and the way they understood each other just by exchanging glances was adorable.

❤️‍🔥 Rocky and Phoebe have incredible chemistry. They've been friends since childhood, and they're in love with each other, but they can't be together.
I loved the tension and intimacy between them. Their desire to get involved was so strong that at certain moments, I felt anxious. 🤭🤭
It was a beautiful grumpy vs. grumpy 🫠

♡I'd love the next book to have everyone's POV because it's going to be intense.

♡ What web of lies will we discover? What does the future hold for the Graves and the Tinrock siblings?

I want to thank @valentine_pr_ and @kbmritchie for this fantastic opportunity, and I can't wait to read the next one 😍😍

P.S. The Winchester thing has my heart 😍

*screaming, crying, dying* OH MY GOD, OH MY GODDDD! Eeee I got the ARC!😭💗 I have heard so many great things about the authors who wrote the Addicted series, which I haven't gotten the time to read yet. But this will be my first book by these authors, and honestly, I'm way too excited to read this that I'm even ditching all my crs once again😍💖 If I love this, maybe, you never know, I will end up binge-reading the Addicted series next month after this book🤭🤞🏻💕

<b>Thank you Valentine PR, Berkley & the Authors for sending me an advanced reader copy!💞</b>

Wow ! The suspense the drama the plot the slow burn the fake it til u make it vibes ! The banter the con and angst !! The start over ! Find urself tropes ! Ugh this book was great !! It ended in a suspenseful way! Cnt wait to read what happens next !!!

Super cute read! This was my first by this author and won’t be my last. Looking forward to the next in the series

I really enjoyed this book, but I also felt like there were a lot of plot holes because I was going into this thinking. It was a standalone little that I know that this is going to be a series and ending on a cliffhanger. I really enjoyed the behind-the-scenes of their house, as well as the fact that they have a lot of Backstory specifically the two families as well as the two main characters. I think this is the first time I read a book where it has dual timeline that I’ve actually thoroughly enjoyed it. I feel like I will never be able to look at the 🕷️ the same again.

What a great read of the summer this book has been! I loved Phoebe and Rocky! Krista and Becca did not disappoint in creating a romance story like no other. Something like I've never read before. I loved the con artist main characters.
This book hit all of my favorite tropes:
Childhood friends to lovers
Forced Proximity
Best Friends Brother
Found Family
Morally Grey Characters

Definitely a must read, can't wait for more in the series to be released!

Dishonestly Yours by Krista & Becca Richie

4 STARS

I got this one as an arc from the publisher months ago but then time got away from me and it released. Since it was out in the world I decided to listen to it and then half way through I knew I needed the paperback.

First, I wasn’t really sure how to feel about it, if you know me and this book. I felt like the older sister when the younger sister is getting picked on like no you can’t pick on her, only I can! Which I think this was why I struggled with really getting into the story.

BUT ONCE I DID, as I kept listening/reading I was really, really enjoying the story and the character. It’s unlike any story I have read before and soon I wasn’t able to put it down. I needed to keep going, really rooting for both Phoebe and Rocky, and I was HERE for slow burn of it!

Can’t wait for the next book in the series!

I barely read these authors for the first time less than 2 months ago when I devoured their Addicted World books. They have such a unique way that they write and connect characters, and I immediately recognized that in this book.


This book follows two lifelong con artists, Phoebe and Rocky, as they navigate their way through some much needed changes. A con gone bad has led Phoebe to want out of the game, and Rocky is just trying to understand what, and why. 


I like the back-and-forth timeline, getting glimpses of them running cons as kids, teenagers, etc. They were raised by what seems like a commune of con artists so it's all they've ever known. What's unique in their situation however is that they all (the kids) seemed to care about one another. While their parents are running schemes, they've become a family of kids trying to make sense of it all. Most of this book is about giving the backstory and building up a world that's almost impossible to wrap your head around. 


This book has strong family vibes like the Addicted world did, and delivers some deep deep devotion amongst it's characters which I loved. The romance between Phoebe and Rocky is a secondary character in the grand scheme of the story. It's a "she falls first" situations that's blossomed out of them being forced to run cons as a couple. They share plenty of firsts between them. It's a slow burn, reluctant love situation where emotions are questioned, yet at the end of the day these two show true devotion in the only way that matters: "showing up" for one another.


This book is the first in a series that I imagine with follow multiple characters and love stories, and I'm looking forward to diving into all of them.

🍓 My thoughts 🍓

This was my first time ever reading something by this author duo and I just have to let you know that it won't be my last time reading one of their books because this was truly captivating and amazing.

Already from the beginning it had me instantly hooked and I didn't wanna put it down unless it wasn't necessary because I just needed to know how the story was gonna play out.

The writing was amazing and the story easy to follow. The characters was easy to like and I did enjoy their journey. Now I just can't wait to know what will happen next because of the ending.

From this book you can expect bantern, angst, tension, will they won't they vibes, best friend's brother and great chemistry to name a few.

Thank you so much for letting me read this amazing book and I can't wait to find out what will happen next 😍.

I really will read anything written by KBR! This book was the perfect mix of serious plot and sweet, angsty romance. I don’t think I’ve ever read a romance between a con family so I was interested! It was twisty and definitely kept me guessing. It was the perfect set up to a series and I’m interested to see how the next books play out!

I don't think there is another couple who can hold a candle to my babies Lily and Lo (AND Rose and Connor) from the Addicted series, but Krista and Becca Ritchie's first book in their new series, Dishonestly Yours, was one of my most anticipated reads of the year nonetheless, and I had a great time reading it. Dishonestly Yours is a tangled web of delicious drama, deceit, and a history that runs deep between the two main characters and their families. I loved the concept of two con-artists families that work together. Also, he's her best friend's brother. The scandal, right? I'm going to eat that right up. Of course, our two mains were denying their feelings for each other for the majority of the book, which can be annoying for some readers. However, what I will always swoon over is a man who will burn the world down for his girl. Rocky is that man. Plus, the plot thickens so much at the end. Things gets messy! I had my popcorn out and I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see how everything would turn out. That makes Dishonestly Yours a win in my book! Also, when reading the Authors' Note, I found out that this book was a concept that Krista and Becca came up with when they were 14. Imagine making your teenaged dream really come true! To me, that makes this book even more special. I cannot wait for the next book in the series!

Thank you to Berkley, Krista and Becca Ritchie, and Netgalley for the advanced digital copy.

Dishonestly Yours is out now!

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an e-arc!

I really enjoyed reading Dishonestly Yours; it was a very captivating book. The characters, relationships, and premise were all quite enjoyable. The concept as a whole was quite interesting and original. I loved the characters' attempts to escape that world and the aspect of con artists. There were many complex, intriguing and intense moments. I have a strong feeling that this will be an excellent series!!

The premise of this book was extremely enticing but the plot fell a little flat. I was really excited to read something with a unique romance plot. The characters didn’t really have a strong romantic connection and I couldn’t really connect with the characters. The writing was really good.

Thank you Netgalley and Berkley Publishing for the advanced copy! I was also lucky enough to snag a physical and it is gorgeous! This was the first book I have read by Krista Ritchie and Becca Ritchie, and I loved it. I cannot wait to read more by them!

"I've always been dishonestly yours. And it looks like that's not changing."

"Loving you, though, that wasn't a role I was given, Phoebe. Loving you has been the most authentic and natural thing I've ever done in my life. And I don't protect you just because I'm told to. I protect you because I'm yours. You've had me since I was five."

“Divorced?” I whisper to phoebe. “What happened to wanting to live honestly.?”
“I honestly feel like you’re my ex-husband.”

Thank you to NetGalley, Berkley Publishing, and the authors Krista & Becca Ritchie for providing this copy; along with letting me review it as well. This book is full of lies, manipulation and deception. This story follows two main characters Rocky and Phoebe who are from two con artist families who have been family friends for decades working lying, scamming in addition to deceiving rich families they go from city to city. Hailey and Phoebe who are best friends decide after their last con they don't want to be con artists anymore but want to have a chance at a normal life. They run away to a small town in Connecticut with Rocky whose Haileys brother then phoebes brothers come to the town later as well. Even though Phoebe and Rocky have been deceiving their whole lives the only thing that is true is their real feelings for each other no matter how much they deny it to themselves. We get flashbacks of them when they con people and in present time. Dishonestly Yours is a five star read that has angst, amazing chemistry, mystery and tension.

-Small Town

-He Falls First
-Con Artist Families

Krista and Becca Ritchie just know how to write a book-PERIODT. They know how to make the reader empathize and root for their characters. Phone and Rocky are flawed characters but you still want them to do well and reach their goals. I liked the beginning of this series and I am interested to see where it goes from here.

OMG, OMG, OMG! This book... I don’t have words to explain how this book made me feel. First, I want to thank Krista & Becca and ValentinePR for the ARC!

The tension, the romance, all of it was just perfect, and I can’t wait to find out what happens next because now I’m invested. This is the type of book that will have you stuck on the couch reading for hours.

The relationship between all the characters and the found family will honestly make you cry.

If you loved the Addicted/Calloway series, please give this book a try because the found family is very similar, but it has more tension, more spice, and more darkness.

I won’t shut up about this book ever!

This review is going to be chaotic & unhinged- I just finished this and my mind is a freaking whirlwind. 𝗥𝗢𝗖𝗞𝗬. TAKE MY HEART AND DO WHATEVER YOU WANT WITH IT. This man can do and will do no wrong in my eyes. The dream guy, BAD BOY- absolute perfection- I can’t stop talking about him, someone slap me. UGH 😍 -if I can’t have you no one can- is now my favorite trope, along with “burn the world for you”. 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗦𝗪𝗢𝗢𝗡!!

“𝙍𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄, 𝙩𝙤𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧, 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙖 𝙫𝙤𝙡𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙘 𝙚𝙧𝙪𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣. 𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙡𝙡 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙚𝙣𝙙, 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝙞𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙢𝙖.”

Pheobe is amazing- I don’t even want to say a lot about her because her character is so interesting and it’s best to just read and discover it yourself. But I love her🥹 Hailey & the brothers- all of them!! I love them. I love Phoebes relationship with her brothers as well.

“𝙂𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢. 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙚’𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙨.“

This book is amazing I have not stopped reading it. It’s full of beautiful love, schemes you wouldn’t believe, the ultimate betrayals, trying to better yourself and so much heartache and heartbreak- I could go on for hours but you would need tissues. Dishonestly Yours basically slapped me across the face, it brought me out of this horrible slump I’ve been in because the writing is SUPURB, out of this world. It draws you in and nothing else matters. Your house could be on fire and you won’t notice. Please do me a favor and read this book, tell your friends tell everyone. thank you Krista & Becca Ritchie & ValetinePRfor gracing me with the most beautiful book I’ve ever had the chance to read 😭🥹💓 I can’t wait until book 2🫣🥰

Thank you to Valentine PR and Becca and Krista Ritchie for this ARC!

Dishonestly Yours follows fmc, Phoebe, and mmc, Rocky. The two have a history of fake dating, fake being siblings, fake just about everything. Their families are con artists and they pull off huge heists. Hailey, Rocky’s sister and Phoebe’s bff, wants to start fresh and live an honest life. Soooo Hailey and Phoebe set to do just that. They get mixed up in some stuff and family gets involved.

The ending!!! Need book 2 now!!! This did take me a minute to get into, but I really enjoyed it. The last 65% of the book I couldn’t put it down! Once I got to know the characters and story a bit more, I really enjoyed it. I want to know more about their upbringing as kids and the heists that they’ve been involved in. I really liked this book.

Ps. Love seeing Fizzle!!!!
