Thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to read this book in return for an honest review. Dishonestly Yours is a really good start to an epic new series I think. I loved the characters and the chemistry between Phoebe and Rocky was insane. I also loved the nod to Fizz! I’m excited to read the next book which I have been gifted as an arc also. I have a feeling I am going to fall for these characters as their stories develop and I can’t wait.

The chemistry between Rocky and Phoebe is brilliant and it makes a frustratingly good twist that these are not together because of their restraint for one…. They care about each so much they won’t act on their feelings.
I enjoyed the sort of found family these characters had and that they slowly all come together… with a bit of grifting thrown in and a pot twist here or there it adds to the darker side almost a mafia style romance.
I couldn’t put it down! Stayed up way past my bedtime for it end on a cliffhanger but I can’t wait for book 2!

I received this book as an ARC and provide and honest review

4 stars
seemingly incompatible misfits turn found family! (rowdy version)

The storyline follows a slow & solid and emotional pace which is very much in lieu with the writing style of her other books.
The best part is I didn't think I'd get that attached but just like lo and lily, I WAS TOTALLY INVESTED although the start was slow for me to get into it. I can't help but compare it with her books I'm sorry but honestly, it’s impossible not to compare it to her other works, but this one holds its own decently.
You gotta love a well done brother's best friend trope full of pent up angst and so so delicious which I found to be the highlight because it fits so perfectly with their personalities and the plot.

fair warning- this one does have a lot of dark triggers so beware and watch out

but thankgod the second book is coming out soon, because the end is crzzy

I literally couldn’t have adored this more! Such a fun narrative and I’m so excited for book two. Not that spicy, but there’s lots of tension which I liked.

I absolutely adored everything about this book!
The plot gripped me right from the beginning and the more I read, the better it got! I was invested in these characters, and rooted for them throughout the book.
Krista and Becca are so great at the found family trope, and did not disappoint in this book. The way everyone looked out for each other and helped, even if they did not agree is something to be admired, and I love these characters with my whole being.
Phoebe and Rocky are now one of my favourite book couples, and I hope they stay strong in the following book.
The way this book ended shocked me, and I cannot wait to read the next one!

This book marked a fresh start in my history with this authors.

The Addicted series and I had our ups and downs, ultimately ending in a complete breakup after the fourth book; so this was a risky bet... and it worked. 3.75☆

A book about con artists obviously had to be overflowing with morally gray characters, and it didn't disappoint. It was a delight.
Phoebe was incredible, but I loved Rocky. Their interactions were "chef's kiss!" at times, and insufferable occasionally. Mainly because we get a lot of information through flashbacks, while there's very little real connection in the present.
On the other hand, there's Hailey. I adored her; because even though the driving force of the plot is the romance, the friendship and family bonds stole the show. Both sets of triplets were beautiful, that's all I'm saying about.

Long story short, it's a long book with probably too many pages for a contemporary romance, but it's enjoyable nonetheless.

I put this off for so long thinking it would be over the top and not my thing. I was so pleasantly surprised. Is it dramatic? Absolutely. Can the characters be annoying? For sure. But the story was so good and the ending had my heart in my throat. Definitely going to continue the story, cannot wait to see how Phoebe and Rocky develop, and how Jake will fit into things!

An enjoyable childhood friends to lovers romance!

Set in a small town, which I am a sucker for, this book is full of drama and secrets!!

This was a different read for me and one I throughly enjoyed!

Whilst this was a great read, it gave me sequel vibes and I did spend a few scenes wondering if it was a follow up to another book, as it kept referencing things I was unsure about. That aside, it's flirty and dark in places, I adored Phoebe and Rocky, and I imagine we'll see another book with Hailey in in the future. A good read and I did enjoy it, but definitely a bit too many mentions of a previous time, given we didn't get that book.

It makes me so, so sad that I struggled with this one way more than I thought I would, and didn't love it as I'd hoped. This was my first Krista & Becca Ritchie's book, and I'm sure I'll be giving this a second chance, it's just at this point this was a miss for me.

I had a very hard time connecting to the characters and the story. The premise is amazing and nothing like I read before, and I believe the remaining books in the series have a lot of potential!

I definitely don't want to discourage anyone from picking this book up as I can definitely see how easy it is to fall in love with it, I'm just sad it didn't work for me. I am excited to read the next book in the series though, specially with that ending!!

It was great to read something from this amazing duo. again I am a big fan of the addicted series. The first book in this new series was really promising and I am so excited to delve into and devour the sequel when it comes out!! I AM SAT.

THIS WAS SO GOOD !!! The whole premise of the book had me hooked and it did not disappoint. I loved both our mcs, Phoebe truly has my heart I just want her happy and Rocky oh my new book boyfriend. This was exactly what i was needing in a book, con artists, morally grey MMC & FMC, best friends brother this was perfection. This definitely set up the world perfectly with the found family and backstory and I can’t wait to continue this story.

Dishonestly Yours is a beautifully crafted, emotionally charged romance that will keep readers hooked from beginning to end. Krista and Becca Ritchie continue to prove they are masters of contemporary romance, delivering a story that is equal parts fun, heartfelt, and deeply moving.

I couldn't put this book down and would highly recommend it if you're looking for a thrilling page turner!

I found that I really wanted to LOVE this book, after being obsessed with the Addicted/Calloway books for years but this book was just lacking for me. Instead of being an emotional rollercoaster about two con families and their children trying to escape that cycle I found it to be nothing more than a quick smutty read. Whenever there were plot twists or life threatening moments I just found that I either found them to be truly random or I just didn’t care if the characters lived or died. I’m going to be reading the second book just to be sure, I might gain and emotional attachment later in the series but as of right now this series has nothing on Addicted/Calloway which I loved from the first page!

A great slow burn romance with plenty of tension and great characters that work well together

Would really recommend

Did I enjoy this book? Ehh not really. Will I read the next book anyway? Yeah probably. Out of morbid curiosity more than anything else. Dishonestly Yours kind of felt like an Addicted to You au to be honest. Phoebe and Rocky are Lily and Lo, the two main characters who've been in love since childhood but have had to keep their true feelings hidden for whatever reason. Rocky's relationship with his dad was extremely similar to Lo's relationship with his dad. Phoebe's relationship with her mum is reminiscent of Rose's relationship with their mum. Trevor is clearly the Daisy of the group. Young and reckless and desperate to prove himself as a true member of the team. As is the case with a lot of similar books at the moment, Dishonestly Yours was far too long, but I did read it in less than 24 hours so I don't know what that says about me...

As soon as I picked up this book I struggled to put it down. I was hooked.

Following Phoebe and Rocky, you ultimately see them both grapple with what morality means to them, and how their respective upbringings have violently impacted their outlook and approach to how they conduct themselves in day to day life. Seeing the manner in which themselves as people ebb and flow together, constantly being drawn back to each other, some would say through an invisible string…

I’m really excited to see where the second instalment in this series takes us ! If Krista and Becca Ritchie can do one thing well, it’s creating a fictional world that their readers love to escape into.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and the publishers for the e-ARC of this book !

For my first Krista and Becca Ritchie, this wasn't a huge hit. The characters had little to no chemistry, the FMC was so immature I almost DNFed the book because of how annoying she was and the MMC also had a very strange behavior, at times he would be friendly and nice and at times, mean and almost cruel. The idea was very fun but I thought the plot was just fine and I don't know if I want to pick up book 2.

This book wasnt for me. The premise of the book with two con artist was promising, but the character lacked an interesting personality and weren't interesting enough..
