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 … 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.

This book! Actually this duet is in my top 10 reads of 2018. This is the 2nd and final book.
This is a Rockstar Romance but not your typical one. I loved the original storyline and the characters were amazing. S.M. Shade nailed this book! Just go one click Duplicity and Veracity now!!!!!!! Holt is EVERYTHING!
Veracity by S.M Shade was everything we had hoped for. We finally get to see how everything unfolds with Holt and Kinley. We get the conclusion that we all have been waiting for. Throughout the book you get its twists and turns, just like on a ride. You never know what turn is coming or what to expect. You get the betrayal and the excitement and the surprised with this ride. So when you are finally coming to an end you don’t want it to end.
S.M shade never disappoints in her books. She gives you the feels through every character of hers and we can see through there point of views…
I loved how Holt and Kinley slowly rebuilt their relationship. I was not expecting what happened towards the end of the book. S.M Shade totally took my heart and tore it to pieces with that twist. Can’t wait to see what happens with Marcus.
This series has as many twist and turns as a ride at the fair, and just like at the end of the ride you have a big smile on your face when it’s over. This is the second part of the opening duet and it is every bit as good as the first book. Holt has been missing Kinley since the whole disaster that was the revelation of who he really was. Kinley has been trying to rebuild her life but her fake smiles aren’t fooling those she loves. When tragedy strikes the Singleton family she can’t he back from rushing to be with Holt and so the second chance they have both been desperately wanting has a chance to bloom.
This book has so many things going on it could have been a disaster but is so well written that the different issues and dramas flow seamlessly.
I can’t wait for the next book!!!
Oh, what an AMAZING sequel to Duplicity! I couldn’t wait to find out what happened with Kinley and Holt, and this was everything they deserved. Well, better than someone may have deserved, but still. All the ups and downs, seeing how Kinley dealt with Holt’s Duplicity, seeing how she dealt with her father’s, how Holt dealt with Marcus. Fabulous storytelling, and now I want more.
I am loving this series! Book 2 picks up where book 1 completely left you hanging! Holt wants nothing more than to get Kinley back and make things right. Although she still loves him, she is still mad and does not trust Holt. Marcus has once again managed to screw everything up. I really cannot stand him. I know his story is book 3, so S.M you have your work cut out for you trying to get me to like him. Marcus aside, Holt’s story is so good! There is laughter, tears, heartache and happiness. You definitely want to read book before reading this one.
A Beautiful albeit angsty conclusion to the Jilted series
I started falling in love with S.M. Shade when I read her Violent Circle series and Worth It (hilarious). But I hadn’t had a chance to read her darker and angstier series. Until now. WOW!! What a series! I had to read both books in a row because this one is NOT a standalone and I wasn’t disappointed. This book (series, really) took me on an emotional roller coaster. I didn’t know what was going to happen and I was anxiously flipping the pages trying to figure out where the author would go with the story. MY HEART could almost not take the suspense! But I still had faith in the story and in the authors ability to bring me the heart stopping conclusion that I was hoping for. Did she do it? Well, I can’t tell you that because it would spoil the story! But I can say that it’s a must read.
Another amazing book by S.M Shade, she knows how to keep you turning the pages and make you go from crying to laughing or vice versa. Kinley and Holt are just adorable together they get hit with some speed bumps on the way, but they find a way to work through them together.This is definitely a must read but make sure to read book one first or you will get some spoilers to what happend.
Veracity by S.M. Shade is the second book in her Duplicity series and is not a standalone. You must read the books in order, the previous book is Jilted.
Veracity picks up where Jilted was left off. Kinley Matthews, the young resort owner fell fast and hard for Marcus Singleton. But nothing was as it seemed at the time, it was all a big fat lie. Kinley broke up with Marcus – aka Holt Singleton, twin and stand in of Marcus. She’s devastated,, their whole relationship was build on lies, a lot of lies. She just wants to forget it ever happened and move on.
Holt knows he made a grave mistake and mourns the loss of Kinley. And he would do everything to win her back. He’s a good guy, but there’s still his family and the toxic relationship to his brother. He’s between a rock and a hard place.
Veracity is a story full of heartache, tears and struggles, victories and losses. Veracity contains just the right amount of drama, danger and action I love in a great story. I read the previous book, Jilted and couldn’t wait to get my hands on this next installment. I started reading and was hooked from chapter one. I connected very easily with the characters and cheered for the hero and the heroine to get their so well deserved HEA.
Favorite Quote: ” No matter how bad things may get, there’s hope hidden in places we never expect… “. The next book in the series ‘ll be Marcus story in Toxicity.
Holt and Kinley. Kinley and Holt. I will never here one name without thinking of the other. As always SM Shade drew us into their world and left me hanging on her every word. After the surprising ending in book one I was mentally prepared for the roller coaster I knew I was going to experience. I loved Kinleys heart and wasn’t ready to forgive Holt but some how my heart was mending along with Kinleys and by the end I was an emotional mess and crying for Holts redemption. Well played. I would recommend this duet to everyone. I can’t wait until the next book.
WOW!! WOW!! WOW!! What a conclusion to Holt and Kinley’s story. I have been anxiously awaiting this book since that shocking cliffhanger in Duplicity and I was not disappointed. Shade definitely pulled out the big guns for this story. Betrayal, unexpected love connections, surprises, twists and turns. It felt like the most exhilarating amusement park ride. I found myself with sweaty palms, a racing heart, seized lungs, screaming and at the end I wanted to do it all over again.
From the very first chapter I was enmeshed in how Holt and Kinley would find their way back to each other. How do you forgive someone that has deceived you and broken your heart? Kinley is a strong, independent woman who loves with her whole heart and cares deeply for other people. Holt hasn’t had the best life, finding solace in music. He feels alone and sometimes isolated, but Kinley can really SEE him. They are the perfect for each other.
I can’t wait for more books in this series!!
Great sequel to the first book. This one feels more like the classic rockstar romance with some twists. It starts off a little slow, but picks up with a bang! There are some feels closer to the end- and a lot of sweet surprises.
OMG this was an highly anticipated read. I devoured it as soon as I got it. Cliffhangers are bittersweet for me and I am picky about the ones I choose. I have been dying to finish Holt and Kinley’s story and I am not disappointed in its telling. In this book we are thrown back into it by Kinley dealing with Holt’s dishonesty. She is so strong you can’t help but admire her. What is most impressive is how she shows such heart after being wronged. Holt you can’t help but love even when you see his missteps. This story is full of family, surprises, and loss. Plan to experience a variety of emotions. I did! I laughed, cried, fanned myself during the steamy, and had heart palpitations trying to anticipate what happens next. There definitely were some characters that I love to hate. EEK. OK I can’t wait to see how this author is going to make me fall in love with Holt’s brother. He is SUCH A JERK! That is the beauty of this author though. Haha. Happy Reading!
I absolutely love Holt and Kinley. I couldn’t wait for this book after the cliffhanger in Duplicity. This book is the conclusion of their story and it’s everything you could wish for. There is so much emotion in this book. I was all over the place and once I started it was impossible to stop. Both Kinley and Holt have suffered in their personal lives and have more hard times and surprises to get through before their happily ever after.
S.M. Shade has done it again and written an amazing story.
This book is amazing. It has had me all over the place. Crying and laughing on the same page. If your like me your gonna need some tissues for this book but it’s worth every tear. With all the subplots and everything that is going on it had me on the edge of my seat. I just couldn’t put it down. I can promise you will love this conclusion if you’ve read the first book duplicity and if not well then you need to cause you be sorry!
What an amazingly satisfying conclusion to Holt and Kinley’s story! I loved every minute of this book, woke up early just to finish it. It really had my feelings all over the place. If you’re like me, you’ll need a box of tissues, but its so very worth every tear! Every obstacle that gets thrown at them brings them closer and stronger than before. This book has humor, lots of love, some amazing chemistry (super steamy too!) and several subplots that will keep you guessing until the end. This author really outdid herself with this one, if your a fan of hers, of forgiveness and second chances, of rock star romance, or just a fan of love in general you should give this duo a read!
This is book 2 the secret is out! Book 2 picks up with kinley upset about the new found news but is that enough to stay away from the one man she loves holt? The twin brother Marcus will he cause some mischief for his brother? Wow just wow. And now with her dead mother back from the dead causing crazy ness what can go wrong next! This is a must read! Swoon worthy of holt! And a big shock of it all will it destroy these two once for all… I can’t wait to read Marcus book next!!
Cant even put into words how much i loved this book!! I fell in love with kinley and holt in book 1 duplicity, but this was amazing, shannon had me laughing and crying on the same page, great read!!!
Dayum what a fantastic conclusion to Holt and Kinley’s story. I loved every word that Shade put in this book. Once I started it, there was no stopping me. The real world fell away. I was so lost in the story.
Within the first 3 or 4 pages I was screaming at my kindle. I honestly couldnt believe what I was reading when I was reading it! Of course I should’ve known better, but hey she invoked all the feels right off the bat.
Kinley and Holt did not under any circumstances disappoint. They are seriously one of my favorite couples EVER!!! The way in which Shade shapes and continues this story was brilliant and and at times broke my heart. But I loved it
I smiled, Iaughed, I shouted a little.
I honestly feel the Jilted duet is Shades best work. She shows she write in any genre that she wants. She effortlessly pulls off one of the best Rockstar duets!
And that FRICKIN cover. OMFG I seriously love it and could stare at it all day.
