Thank you Valentine PR for the eARC of Destructively Mine in exchange for an honest review.
Releases: April 29, 2025
I really enjoyed this book. Dishonestly Yours set up the dominoes that fell in Destructively Mine. The first book was our building block and this book is where everything unfolded. It is a slower burn than the previous book. However, I didn’t feel bored and I found myself wanting to read more each time. It was suspenseful and spicy. I was so invested in all the information the group was learning in real time that I never wanted to stop reading—I wanted answers just as bad as the characters did. AND AGAIN, I am eating up every little Addicted Series Easter egg!!
Rocky and Phoebe are still everything to me and I truly think their characters came together. Nova, Olly, Hailey, Jake, and Trevor did overpower in some aspects but I actually enjoyed that. I liked that these other characters are getting their moments to shine but I also would LOVE to see some chapters in their POV. With the way it ended I feel like we could really start doing a deeper dive into Hailey and her current situation. She is a character that has so much potential and room for growth. I would love to see things from her POV.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoy this series and I will be impatiently waiting for book three.

Book 2 in the Webs We Weave series was a wild ride—I could not put it down!
Dishonestly Yours ended with so many questions, and this book picked up right where it left off. Phoebe is fake dating Jake, the golden boy of Victoria, but secretly, she and Rocky are finally together. All they want is to be open and honest about their relationship, but first, they have to help Jake.
Then their moms show up with an agenda of their own—and zero answers to the siblings’ questions. Phoebe, her brothers, Rocky, and Hailey are ready to uncover the truth… even if they have to lie to get it.
I absolutely love these siblings and the family they’ve built. Their bond only grows stronger in this book. And we get to see a whole new side of Rocky—which I LOVED. He’s always been protective of his people, but here, we see him extend that to Jake too. And don’t even get me started on how he loves Phoebe. I adore him. He gives off major Connor mixed with Lo vibes… and if you know, you know.
This book had everything—grifting cons, off-the-charts chemistry between Rocky and Phoebe, suspense, mystery, and a couple curveballs at the end that had me reeling. I was literally on the edge of my seat, flipping pages like mad, hoping every question would be answered. Some were… but now I just want more. I can’t wait for the next book!
I didn’t care for book one too much and if I didn’t have an arc of this book I wouldn’t have continued. I shouldn’t have. This book was not for me. It was way too long at over 500 pages. Nothing major seemed to happen until the end.
I did like that Rocky and Phoebe were together more on page though it felt more like lust than love. I wanted more romantic sweet moments between them.
Hailey’s character annoyed me so much in this book.
Sadly, I won’t be continuing with this series.
Thank you to Berkley Pub and NetGalley for an advanced readers copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Original review at Gabic Reads. eARC received from Netgalley and Valentine PR in exchange for an honest review.
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.

thank you berkley & netgalley for the arc ᥫ᭡
i really wanted to love this book but it sadly fell flat to my expectations. the first half of the bool had me sold, it had me laughing, smiling & genuinely enjoying everything about the book. i really enjoyed the mystery & the little side plots we had & i enjoyed the family dynamics between all the characters but there is just something missing that i can’t put my finger on.
i really enjoyed Phoebe & Rocky’s relationship in the first book but in this one were my least favorites, i found every other character more interesting then them. they had so many sex scenes that i was tired by the first one & skimmed the rest. i also didn’t find myself enjoying the flashbacks as much as i did in the first book. i ultimately don’t have a super strong connection to the characters, i like them but i’m not obsessed with them.
i feel this book has a pacing issue, the first 50% had me hooked then the last 50% had me bored most of the time. i truly believe if this book had more than the two pov’s it would have made for a stronger book. i’m still interested in continuing this series & seeing how it goes.

There’s just something about KBR writing that is like opening something sacred.
Phoebe and Rocky’s relationship is like a cosmic explosion. It’s full of tension, banter, spice, and it’s awe inspiring.
Their connection is so deep and strong that through every moment it was as if they were tethered and it was beautiful to watch a love so consuming
…
And then the book rose like the tide till it took me under. The end has me pulling my hair, screaming into the abyss, running around in circles.
