Review: Veracity

Title: Veracity
Series: the Jilted Series
Author: S.M. Shade
Release Date: Dec 16
May contain spoilers. Veracity is book two in the Jilted series, and you have to read Duplicity first.


Blurb:

This isn’t the life I want.
Trapped in one random hotel room after another by a screaming crowd of fans and paparazzi. No friends or family nearby. Nothing that really makes me happy, except my music.
Music is my only love, the only thing that makes my heart beat fast and my blood run hot, until her. Kinley Matthews, the owner of the Foxhaven Resort, is nothing like the women I’m accustomed to dating, but she’s everything I need.

And she hates the sight of me.

Everything I’ve done has been for family.
That’s what I tell myself when the memory of her laugh seeps into my day.
I didn’t have a choice.
That’s my excuse when her devastated expression haunts my nights.
The truth is, every second of pain and heartache I suffer, I deserve it.
She loved me, and I destroyed her.

*This is the conclusion of Kinley and Holt's story. It's a full length novel with no cliffhanger. Please ignore the page count during the pre-order period.

Review:

After the ending of Duplicity, I was dying to find out what happens next to Kinsley, Holt, and the rest of the characters and couldn't wait to get my hands on this book!
Kinsley is trying to move on with her life, after what happened with Holt. Was everything between them a lie? But when Holt needs her, she wastes no time to be there for him and his family.
Holt has been living in solitude- guilt over what he did to Kinsley consumes him, until he gets a phone call that his family needs him to be there, he drops what he's doing. Surprised when Kinsley shows up to be there for him, maybe there is a chance that he can make things right between them after all.
Will Kinsley forgive him, or does the betrayal run too deep?
I really enjoyed this book. It's a different take on the rockstar romance, and this continues Holt and Kinsley's story from Duplicity. I still loved the characters, and loved seeing how their story goes. It still brought out a few emotions, and was such a great read. I stayed up way too late just to finish it, but enjoyed every minute with these characters. 4⭐ out of 5⭐.

Reread: Broken Bonds

  Title: Broken Bonds  Series: Bonds That Tie  Author: J Bree Release Date: June 2021 After the death of my mother and her Bonded, I was relieved to find my own Bonds.

After five years on the run, I’m caught and dragged back to face the men I ran away from. I thought I was doing the right thing. Now, I’m not so sure. North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe may never forgive me but one thing is for sure. I won’t ever forgive myself. *Broken Bonds is a full length reverse harem PNR novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. This book will end on a cliffhanger.

Review: Bad Little Bride

  Title: Bad Little Bride Series: Girls of Greyson Author: Meagan Brandy Release Date: January 7, 2025 Degradation of the Desperate Daughter. That could be the theme song to my life.  Always second choice. Second best. Second born. Maybe that’s what possessed me to track down my father’s most formidable enemy, the infamous Enzo Fikile. He’s the nation’s most eligible bachelor, and the crime world I was born into’s biggest threat, but not because he wants to tear it down. No. This man wants to claim his place within it and if the whispers working their way around are anything to go by, he’s well on his way. And I just offered him a golden ticket, one he accepted with an unexpected spark in his eye. We signed our marriage contract that night, and the deal with the devil was done. I’m engaged to the man the rest of the world fears and there’s no going back. I expect to be tossed in a tower and left there, but my future husband has other plans. Dangerous ones. He wants the world t...
