Phoebe Graves grew up in a family where deception and seduction are as commonplace as breathing. The Graves and her best friend Hailey’s family have been on the run their whole lives, but after a high-stakes con job goes south, Phoebe and Hailey decide to run away and start over. The small Connecticut town they settle in seems too good to be true.
The biggest flaw in their plan is Hailey’s frustratingly handsome brother, Rocky, who insists on coming with them. Living honestly isn’t in his DNA, and his past with Phoebe is downright messy. He’s everything she wants, but nothing she can have.
Phoebe worries that Rocky will tempt them back into their old ways, where lying is second nature. She doesn’t want Rocky to mess up the new life she’s begun for herself. The longer she stays in town, the more she realizes what it means to have a reputation—and what a normal life with the man she loves could look like.
The story explores how the characters express their love for one another as they strive to escape the lives they’ve always known. Each character supports the others in unique ways, revealing their true strength through their actions. While they may not always be upstanding citizens, they maintain a mostly honest bond with each other.
As the book progresses, multiple plot lines converge and the pace quickens. Just when you think more is about to unfold, the story ends abruptly, leaving you on a cliffhanger and wanting more.
I'm happy to have read this book, though I regret not waiting until just before the release of the next one.
