Starting fresh is the only way Phoebe can escape a life of crime, but her best friend's older brother complicates honest dreams in this gripping new series from the authors of the Addicted series. 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.

So this book was my first written by two authors so I was a little hesitant of how it would turn out..
I also didn't expect to really love the way they write and now want to read everything with their names on it.
When Hailey and Phoebe want to ditch the life of crime and live honestly, they find that its harder to do than they think. Then you bring in Hailey's brother Rocky who has been in love with Phoebe since they were kids and the whole situation is a mess. But a good mess.
I really enjoyed this book and appreciated the little back stories in between chapters. I do think that their relationship and the back and forth dragged on a little but it kept me on my toes waiting for both of them to just give in. I'm all for a slow burn and the little snippets of tension but sheesh I could not wait for them to finally get together.
We get left on a cliffhanger towards the end and it just makes me anxious for the second book that much more!
