AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER!
Ex-grifter Phoebe Graves’ new life threatens to come crashing down around her in the next unputdownable novel from the New York Times bestselling authors of the Addicted series.
As the daughter of a con artist, Phoebe Graves only knew a life of swindling the rich until her best friend and fellow grifter, Hailey Tinrock, proposed an idea to start a new, honest life in a wealthy college town of Connecticut. Once there, they decided to leave behind their deceitful tricks and be truthful for once. But you know what they say about best intentions. . . .
While Phoebe is fake-dating Jake Waterford, the third-born son to an uber-wealthy and influential family, she’s actually dating and falling deeper in love with Brayden “Rocky” Tinrock—Hailey’s older brother. To make matters more complicated, Phoebe’s mother shows up out of the blue with conniving match-making designs of her own.
Her mother’s arrival threatens to unravel Phoebe’s plans. To keep her love, her friends, and her newfound happiness, Phoebe will have to return to her old games . . . and win.
Customer Reviews
Dramatic, edgy, tragic
DESTRUCTIVELY MINE is the second instalment in the contemporary, adult WEBS WE WEAVE erotic, romance series co-authored by Krista and Becca Ritchie. DISTRUCTIVELY MINE focuses on twenty-four year old Phoebe Graves, her best friend Hailey Tinrock, and twenty-seven year old, Brayden ‘Rocky’ Tinrock. DESTRUCTIVELY MINE should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the cliff hanger of book one DISHONESTLY YOURS.
SOME BACKGROUND: The Graves and the Tinrocks are a family of grifters, several generations of con men, women and children but Hailey Tinrock claims she wants a new start following a con that went wrong, taking her brothers Rocky and Trevor, and her best friend Phoebe, and Phoebe’s siblings Nova and Oliver along for the ride but Rocky is unaware of what happened or why, and their pasts are about to land in Victoria Connecticut demanding reparations for secrets and lies.
NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Rocky and Phoebe) using present day and memories from the past, DESTRUCTIVELY MINE picks up immediately after the events of book one in which the uber-rich of Victoria, Connecticut are taking aim at the Tinrock and Graves’ families, and the reappearance of their mothers Addison and Elizabeth sets into motion more lies and betrayal. All is not as it appears to be, and as Hailey begins a deep dive into the family history, someone else is targeting the siblings and friends. In an effort to keep up appearances, Phoebe and rich-kid Jake Waterford begin a fake relationship, a relationship in which Jake is hoping to take down the people he blames for destroying his life, while Rocky stands guard over the woman he loves.
The world building continues to be detailed and complex; elaborate and twisted. The small but wealthy town of Victoria Connecticut holds the answers to many of siblings’ questions but the results may not be the answers they want to hear.
There are several developing and ongoing relationships playing out throughout the story line premise including the impassioned affair between Phoebe and Rocky. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.
All of the previous story line characters return including Nova and Oliver Graves, Trevor and Hailey Tinrock, Jake Waterford, Addison and Everett Tinrock, and Elizabeth Graves; Jake’s brother Trent, and their mother Claudia.
DESTRUCTIVELY MINE is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, family and relationships, obsession and intimidation. The premise is dramatic, edgy and tragic-if you are a fan of K&B Ritchie, you will recognize many familiar scenarios and similarities to their Addicted Series. The characters are broken and struggling. DESTRUCTIVELY MINE ends on a happily ever after-for now.
