Someone needs to study the writing of these two because what sorcery are they using?! They have me absolutleu GLUED to the pages,.this was fantastic (I think I like it more than the first book) it's spicier and with more twists and turns than a rollercoaster, loved it!.I'm completely invested in these characters, can't wait for the next book!

When I was approved for this ARC I hadn’t yet read book 1 so I made that a priority and got busy for preparation of book 2! I really enjoyed this series and I loved where this book took after book 1. The covers for this series are both fantastic and where ultimately what drove me to want to read this.

I think I enjoyed this book even more than book 1. During this book it flips between past and present and I thought the authors did a good job making that work. I did feel it was slow at times but still enjoyable. This was a really fun series!

Thank you to @netgalley and @berkleypub for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC!

I loved this probably more than Dishonestly Yours. This is another series where I'm invested in these characters. 🫠❤️ Krista and Becca Ritchie can do wrong, imo. I eat up whatever they write.

These character building from Krista and Becca Ritchie is phenomenal. I'm usually stuck on one set of characters, but this series has me invested in all of them equally.

This book picks up where Dishonestly Yours leaves off. Destructively Yours is Phoebe and Rocky's pov and delves into their backstory of the dynamics and relationships between them as well as their families of the Tinrock's and Graves. It alternates between present and past. These two families have been running cons on others all their lives. This book picks up with Phoebe and Jake's fake relationship and continuing on with trying to figure out what Hailey and Phoebe's mothers want and why they're in town, and just who their mothers and fathers are to the group. Yes, we get DNA results. The group also sets out to pull a con. I'm keeping it shirt and sweet because I don't want to give away any spoilers. Hailey and Phoebe's friendship is so sweet. It just makes me want to cry. It's literally friendship goals. We see so much into all the Hailey and Phoebe's brothers' personal lives and just who everyone really is in this book. I love the relationship between Jake and Rocky, too. The mystery , love, friendship, and adventure in this book has me fully invested and in love with everyone in this series.

This book gives us all the answers we want and are looking for in book one.

Thank you Netgalley and Berkley Publishing for the ARC in exchange for my honest review. Expected release date April 29, 2025

Dishonestly Yours was one of my top reads of this year, but Destructively Mine exceeded every single expectation I had. Krista and Becca’ writing is so incredibly unique in the way it keeps you GLUED to each page. It is truly all consuming and I feel like I am watching a tv show when I am reading their books. They spend so much time building these amazing characters that as you’re reading you feel as if you know them in real life. This book had every single thing I love about a KBR book: found family, tension, secrets, angst, plot twists that keep you on the edge of your seat, top tier spice, and the incredible feeling you are a part of a different world while you are reading. I was so excited to explore not only more of Phoebe and Rocky, but also more of Victoria and their families, and my god did Krista and Becca deliver. Destructively Mine made me feel every single emotion, and it reminded me exactly why I love reading. It’s because of books like this and the worlds they have created. Without spoiling anything since this is a very connected series, I will say you need to read this book and book one if you haven’t yet. Not only is the premise of the book one of the most unique I have seen published, but in true KBR fashion it makes you feel like you are a part of something bigger than yourself.

I’m a little mad at myself I didn’t save this book closer to release day because it WAS SO GOOD and idk how I can handle not having book 3 after that cliffhanger !!

the twist and turns this book had literally had me at the edge of my seat. I was so shocked and honestly so desperate to know what comes next . I need book 3 like I need air.

I loved Rocky and Phoebe & I will say this book is spicier!! Kbr had me blushing so hard 🤭

Thank you so much to Berkley for the earc 😘💚💚

Thank you to Berkley and NetGalley for the ARC!

Krista and Becca Ritchie can’t write a bad book. Dishonestly Yours was an absolute banger of a book, and Destructively Mine is no different. If you love the found family aspect that we see from KBR in the Addicted/Calloway series, you will love the Webs We Weave series.

Destructively Mine continues on with Rocky and Phoebe’s love story, and the overall con-artist plot that we see develop in Dishonestly Yours. Boy, does it take you for a RIDE.

First and foremost, I love Rocky and Phoebe so much. These two characters are so well-done and so complex, their depth is so good. They are actually perfect for each other and I loved getting to see more of them romantically in this one. Their chemistry is unreal, the tension is palpable, and the smut is soso good. On top of that, the love, trust, and safety that these two share is so beautiful. It makes me want to cry. I love them.

The overall plot of this one is insane. The twists that are revealed, especially in the last half of the book, had me GASPING and my jaw on the floor. I couldn't put this book down. I absolutely love the dark twist that Krista and Becca took with this series. I adore the found family aspect, the “ride or die” mentality that these characters share with each other, and the overall depth this group has. It is all just so good and so well-done.

There truly isn’t much I can say without spoiling anything, but just know i LOVED this one and cannot wait to see where this story goes.

There were parts of this that I enjoyed. But for the most part, the setting was boring and the lack of plot made this book difficult for me to get through. This was disappointing because I had higher hopes for this series and I enjoyed the first book. Thanks so much to Berkely for the opportunity to read this early.

I was very blessed to get an ARC of Destructively Mine and holy. Shit. I had the MOST fun reading this!! I LOVED it. This book was so perfectly crafted and written. A beautifully and intricately woven web of history, relationships and lies. It did so so so much so well. Like the brewing bromance between Rocky and Jake, how deep it went into the other members of the family and their dynamics with one another, the plot. Rocky and Phoebe being in love and settling into their relationship 🥹🥹. I loved delving deep into the other characters and their histories, relationships and dynamics. It's KBRs signature found family but yet so unique and interesting. I was on the edge of my seat, jaw gaping like every couple chapters. The world and feeling they've created is so addictive. The plot is thrilling and full of twists and turns that leave you desperate to see how it all connects. I felt everything while reading, I laughed, I screamed, I cried, I swooned and by the end of it all I was craving more. It's fantastically plotted and structured. The characters are so real, interesting, loveable and funny. It's perfect. Once again, KBR have hit it out of the park so far the ball hit the moon. I'm so obsessed and I cannot wait for the next one.

This was good but not great. I am more invested in the con artist side of things rather than the romance, but this was more romance heavy. I wish we spent less time on spice and more time on the plot. It felt pretty filler heavy and like it didn’t need to be its own whole book. All that being said I did still really enjoy it. I feel like I can picture everything so clearly which is normally hard for me to do and I really hope that Hailey ends up getting a book because there is a love triangle I am actually really invested in. I will 100% be continuing this series, the mystery is just too good, just wish it was a bit quicker paced.

I absolutely adored this story. I am going to need all of Ritchie’s books asap. I was completely sucked in after reading Book 1 and now I just want more a more. Phoebe and Rocky are one of my favorite non-fantasy book couples. There are so many twists and turns in this hook, and I lapped it up greedily. I stayed up way too late the past few nights for just one more chapter. This was such a great plot and I am sad I finished this one so quickly.

very excited that i enjoyed this one much better than the first!!! i will say it was a little bit on the too long side for me, but the pacing in this book felt 10x better than the first did thank goodness as that was one of my major issues with it

i still loveeee rocky and phoebe, they are power couple goals 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

the found family *chefs kiss*

the twists and turns in this book were phenomenal, i felt like you could really tell they were well thought out and executed!! i am SO intrigued by the potential love triangle and desperately hope we get a book about her and that whole situation asap 🤭

This book was a wild ride from start to finish! We start off where Dishonestly Yours left off. This book I felt was more filler as it gave us more background into the characters, their relationships, and set up where the next book will be taking us and focusing on.

I felt that this book was very much a Rocky and Phoebe romance book with a side of the grifter action. Because of that though we got some major spicy scenes between the two as well as a deeper development of their relationship and backstory.

I feel like this book also set up a book that possibly involves Hailey's pov in the next book. Obviously that book will be all about finding out who Hailey really is as well as dealing with the love triangle that is definitely developing. This is such an interesting triangle because I love both Jake and Oliver as I believe both are great for her. Maybe it can just be a why choose because I'd love an HEA for all three of them.

The only characters I really can't stand are Trent and Trevor. Trevor just is mean, which I understand why, but still. Trent is obviously a huge asshole and I hope he gets what is coming to him.

Overall, I really loved this book. The third book is going to be crazy with the identity of Viktor being revealed as well as who Rocky really is. Can't wait for the third!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

🕷️Destructively Mine 🕷️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.💫/🌶️🌶️🌶️

Thank you to net galley and berkley romance for an early copy of destructively mine.

Destructively Mine is the follow up to Dishonestly Yours. I was ecstatic when I received the ARC that I paused everything else just to read this one. This picks up directly after Dishonestly Yours.

Like the previous book, there are time jumps that unravel the background and mysteries that are happening for Phoebe and Rocky. I really loved that we got to see a con happen in real time and how the entire family navigates each role.

This book did read more upper YA in my opinion but overall I loved the mystery and suspense storyline. ALSO that cliffhanger?! I mean 😪 gimme book 3 STAT.

🕷️found family
🍓love triangles (not main couple)
🕷️ mystery & suspense
🍓spicyyyyyy


Becca & Krista Ritchie did it again with another twisty and gripping romance!

at this point I have to assume the sisters are lacing the pages of their books with crack because I am ADDICTED to whatever they write.

Destructively Yours picks up right where Unfortunately Yours leaves off so there is no having to piece together what happened off page. Rocky and Phoebe are together but they cant be out in the open about it just yet, not until they finish one more con together which involves Phoebe and Jake continuing their fake relationship for the eyes of the town.

It was so fun to see the team pull of a con of their own and on top of that there is a bit of a mystery that's woven into the overall plot. We learn more about the siblings and characters like Hailey and Jake are given more depth which makes them more lovable.

Rocky and Phoebe are everything we could want and the spice is immaculate, chefs kiss, no notes. These two characters love each other unconditionally and unapologetically. Their chemistry is palpable, I need them injected into my veins.

I loved how this book played out and I cannot wait to see where the sisters take this story in book 3!

This was spicy! 🔥 def way spicier than the first book! It’s still told from the POV of Rocky and Phoebe. I am hoping the next book is about Hailey and the love triangle that popped up during this book.

My only complaint is this was pretty long & I just prefer a little shorter books. But the storyline picks up exactly where it left off with the whole family of con artists that are trying to start over, but they can never truly leave that life behind. There’s a lot of new twists and turns and the ending made me excited for the next one!

The chemistry between Rocky and Phoebe is off the charts. I also actually loved the love triangle that Hailey ends up in and I am rooting for both of them, so it’ll be interesting to see where that goes.

Thank you to netgalley for this free advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

When I tell you these books are so unique I mean it. It has spice, romance, plot twists, kinda a found family vibe. I feel like I’m reading a mystery book but not? I don’t know how to describe the concept of these books! So grateful I got this ARC. Thank you NetGalley, Berkley and the authors!

as soon as i got this arc i hurried up and finished the addicted calloway series, and jumped into dishonestly yours. having now read a good bit of krista and becca ritchie, i'll say that the writing has improved so much!!! the pacing was pretty slow and it took me awhile to get through a chunk of pages. i'm not as attached as lily and lo, but this was cute. thank you netgalley!!

AHHH so good!!!! The way Krista and Becca write their series is why they are my favorite authors. I love the way they don't mess with the main couple and instead make the plot the part that makes you guess. This series is so well developed and it just keeps getting better. The found family, mystery, and the way everyone has each others back just gets me. I have so many theories and can't wait for the last book. These books are so well written and twisty I can't wait to get a physical copy and annotate the heck out of it. The twins do it again!!!!

If you like the first book in this series, you'll like this one too since it's just a continuation of the plot but there was such a fun mystery in this one that I wasn't expecting and the twists and turns went crazy! KBR's writing style is so comforting and very bingeable so it's no surprise I finished this in a couple hours. the pacing of this book was well done and it was fast paced and kept you on your toes. And of course the found family is shown more from the first book, it's something KBR always excel at (the whole addicted/calloway/like us world and characters). It was messy, tension fuelled and made you laugh and giggle — you will want to pick this up when it releases (April 29 2025). Thank you to Netgalley and Berkley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

One of my favorite reads of this year, wow! I loved book one, but this one was even better. I was constantly on the edge of my seat in this one, especially after the cliffhanger at the end of book one. The plot was so interesting and well paced, I couldn’t put it down. It had the typical charm that comes from Krista and Becca’s writing, which I adore, with the to-die-for romance that is Phoebe and Rocky. Their relationship progression had me swooning, and I can’t wait to get more of them! This is also one of the very few books where I’m equally interested and invested in all of the characters, which just shows how well KBR writes their characters and develops them individually. Absolutely cannot WAIT for the next installment.
