Destructively Mine by Krista Ritchie and Becca Ritchie (April 29, 2025) – Thank you, Berkley Romance and @prhaudio for the #gifted print and listening copies!
Picking up immediately after the shocking and dramatic conclusion to Dishonestly Yours, Phoebe and Hailey are still trying to go straight after a lifetime as part of grifting families but their brothers have followed them to town, Phoebe is fake dating the son of the richest family in town while secretly dating Hailey’s brother Rockey. Then their untrustworthy, conniving mothers roll into town. And everyone is keeping secrets, some so explosive, they threaten to rip their families apart.
Dishonestly Yours was a surprise favorite of 2024 for me, and Destructively Mine more than delivered on the promise of a wild, twisty, emotional sequel. These six grifter siblings from two close-knit families have a chaotic bond that is pure magic on the page – sharp, funny, and endlessly endearing. The twists come fast, and just when you think you’ve caught your breath, another revelation drops. I flew through it. This series is the perfect blend of found family, forbidden love, and small-town scheming – wrapped in a dangerously addictive conniving package. Krista and Becca Ritchie are absolutely on fire.
🎧 Audiobook Thoughts 🎧Aaron Shedlock and Carly Robins are back as Rocky and Phoebe in this audiobook and they are just as diabolically perfect as they were in book one. They are SO GOOD and also have a heavy lift of giving personality to six siblings, three parents and a cast of small town characters. They are just great.
