About the book

FROM THE AUTHORS OF THE TIKTOK SENSATION, ADDICTED TO YOU!

AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

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.

    3.75 In einer Welt, die viel aus interconnected Standalone Romance Reihen bestehen, hätte ich mir hier schon irgendwo die Info gewünscht, dass man diese Reihe in entsprechender Reihenfolge lesen muss. Dieser Band fängt irgendwo da an, wo Band eins aufgehört hat. Die Handlung verlief allerdings nicht unbedingt in die Richtung, die ich erwartet habe. Das liegt einerseits an Jake und andererseits an Hailey. Ich habe tatsächlich nicht erwartet, dass Jake in dem Ganzen eine größere Rolle spielt und so involviert sein wird. Ja, es macht schon irgendwo Sinn ihn da zu haben, aber will ich das? Mag ich ihn überhaupt? Keine Ahnung... Hailey hat mich von vorne bis hinten irritiert und, verglichen mit Band eins, war sie eigentlich eine komplett andere Person. Sie stand ständig unter Strom, war ganz oft hyperfixiert auf Sachen und hatte durchgängig Panik Attacken. Ich hab das Gefühl mir fehlt eine entsprechende Info, um das alles einzuordnen. Unterm Strich hat mir dieser Band mehr gefallen als der Vorgänger, vor allem der Mystery Anteil. Ich muss allerdings auch sagen, einige Gespräche waren schwer zu folgen, insbesondere alles, was mehr als drei Beteiligte hatte. Ich hätte mir auch gerne mehr povs gewünscht, zB von Hailey, Trevor, Oliver. Die Bücher machen das mit mir, was Magnolia Parks versucht in letztendlich nicht gelungen ist. Man ist irgendwie verwirrt und vielleicht genervt, aber irgendwie doch unterhalten und man will natürlich weiterlesen und wissen, was passiert. Ich bin gespannt auf Band 3! Danke an Pan/Pan MacMillan für das Rezensionsexemplar via NetGalley. Meine Meinung wurde nicht beeinflusst.

BUT THAT ENDING?? WAIT A MINUTE WHAT WAS THAT? oh my im so excited for more i fear i don't want this world to end either so idk if there will be more books but i still want hailey to have one and specially with oliver and we can add jake i mean i do see potential between him and oliver so who knows eheh but really overall it was so addictive and so good i do love these characters so so much they totally grow on me and i just want to protect them i need book three like now thank youuuu
