If there's one thing KBR is going to do, it's make you fall in love with a found family trope. That, and fall in love with all their toxic characters.
Dishonestly Yours follows the children of two con-artist families. Wanting to finally be "clean" of that life style, Hailey and Phoebe leave their families behind to start a new. Plans don't go smoothly when Hailey's older brother and Phoebe's long time crush/con partner Rocky joins them on the run.
I'm going to admit, the first part of this book was a little rough. It was very info dumpy with all the con back stories, but the second half to 3/4 of the books really makes up for me. First, I love Phoebe and Rocky's tension. Having Rocky's POV does a lot for me, esp if you love a jealous MMC. If OW/OM drama is not for you, bits of this story may be difficult to read - but the toxicity of the relationship really pushed me through. I do think I was left with more questions than answers, and because of that I'm definitely excited to continue this series.
Thank you to Netgalley, Valentine PR, KBR and Berkley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review
