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.

First line:
I stare wide-eyed at a pink, a black, and a bright neon-green bikini splayed on the king-sized bed - a bed that I've called mine for four whopping whole days.

The tension and silent yearning between Phoebe and Rocky continues in this high stakes sequel to Dishonestly Yours. The chemistry between these two is amazingly well written and you can practically hear it sizzling as you read. I also enjoyed getting to see more of our ensemble cast and get to know them outside of our glimpses to past jobs.
I did get confused at some points and there were time jumps that I felt were abrupt or too long (one of them is 3 months long). I also felt like the writing was not as strong as in Dishonestly Yours.
I really love this story of found family and deception. If you love fake dating with a twist (Phoebe is fake dating Jake, not our MMC Rocky) and sizzling tension, this book is definitely for you.
