Living honestly isn’t in his DNA. Just like it’s never been in mine . . .
Set in small town Connecticut, Dishonestly Yours is the gritty con-artist romance from TikTok sensations Krista and Becca Ritchie.
The Graves and Tinrock families live life from one con to the next. Phoebe Graves has grown up in a world where stealing and seducing are as natural as breathing.
But, when a job goes horribly wrong, she and her best friend, Hailey Tinrock, decide to leave their life of crime behind and head to a small college town in Connecticut to start anew. But Hailey’s older brother, Rocky, catches wind of their plans and refuses to let them do this alone.
Phoebe's past with Rocky is downright messy: he’s everything she wants, but nothing she can have. And the longer she stays in town, the more Phoebe has to lose . . .
Can love survive a web of lies?

Customer Reviews
Cliffhanger
I particularly enjoy a story about the cleverness of con artists, there’s usually a complicated plot involving numerous criminals, the anticipation of reeling in a victim with added tension of split second organisation to cover all eventualities. That's what I hoped for with Dishonestly Yours.
Hailey and Phoebe were supposed to be highly successful scammers, yet their attempt to break loose from controlling parents seemed completely unplanned. In their Great Escape to an honest life they have no money, rent a studio apartment they can’t afford and find low paying employment. Even the chapters about their past scans which were supposed to be intriguing, ended up unbelievable.
Hailey began as a primary character but she soon merged into the background because most of the book concentrated on Rocky and Phoebe’s 'will they or won’t they' relationship. We're supposed to accept that for years they'd suppressed their feelings for each other after their mothers wanted them to get together, so they perversely refused to do so.
The writing was repetitive and slow, only the final chapter demonstrated how well these two authors can write.
Except. This is the first instalment of a series, the book ending with a whopping great cliffhanger.
Other readers might not object, I think a warning of a cliffhanger should be made absolutely clear in the synopsis.
