* Facade - 4 stars *
“Do you know what that does to a soul that’s so in love and attached to another? To endure pain like that was truly unbearable. No one could drag me from the depression. Then months passed, a year, and I relearnt how to be me again. To breathe for me, to wake up and know I was alone and I needed to keep living.”
- Faye

* Cadence - 4 stars *
“She was my other half, she completed the man I was, the man I wanted to be for her. My soul was created with hers and sent here for us to find each other. Love wasn’t condemning your soul mate for actions out of their control. Granted, love is painful, the most painful thing we endure on this earth but it’s also non-judgmental; it’s shameless and freeing the other person of all the things they find imperfect about themselves because to the person that loves them there is no such thing. Love is pure, true, enduring and for me, everlasting. I would love her forever and cherish the time we had. Love like ours was strong, intense and beautiful. Nothing she did without being right of mind could dirty how pure our love was.”
- Cade

* Beneath Innocence - 4 stars *
“I was the new Blue, a woman who had overcome darkness and learned to live through the shadows, breathe through the lost feeling and hold on to the hope I would one day feel happiness once again, like I did in the arms of Jenson.”
- Blue

☆FACADE☆ Holy hell twisted mother of all things elusive! Prepare yourself to have your mind blown. OMG! Seriously when DH Sidebottom and Ker Dukey write their own books it is intense; put these two astounding authors together and we are talking FIERCE! DH Sidebottom and Ker Dukey's Facade is an absolutely epic story that mercilessly and easily left me mystified. The story is thrilling, dark, riveting, twisted, erotic and so freaking good
☆ Cadence ☆ Amazing ☆ someone needs to tell Batman and Robin there's a real Dynamic Duo around♡♡ ♡Love it♡♡
The collaboration of DH Sidebottom and Ker Dukey delivers another 5 star read! I knew these two talented authors would not disappoint me, but I never expected that they would be able to surpass my love for Facade! Cadence, the conclusion to Facade, is so intense you feel excitement and anxiety with every chapter.
Cadence continues where Facade ended and although we get our answers it is not before we go through an emotional rollercoaster in a dark twisted and erotic storyline. It is hard to even describe what the story is about without spoiling it for everyone. All I can say is you will not be disappointed! Read Facade first and when you have been left speechless by that book prepare yourself to be blown away by CADENCE!!
☆ Beneath Innocence☆ WOW! Amazing Novella that tells us all about what happened to Jensen & Blue, the supporting characters we love from the Deception series. Beneath Innocence picks up where Cadence ended. We get to read about the struggles and emotion Jensen & Blue suffered after all the turmoil that they experienced in the book Cadence. You will need to read Façade & Cadence to fully understand the connection between these two. This novella was erotic, a page turner and had me feeling so emotional over what Jensen & Blue were going through right up until the end of the story where I was smiling and so happy for these two lovable characters!! I LOVED IT!! The authors, DH Sidebottom & Ker Dukey are just remarkable together! I look forward to any collaboration these two authors write!!

When I Found out my 2 of my favorite Authors where writing this a books together I really didn't know what to expect they both write great books but together they have blown my mind I don't know how to review these books without giving away to much of the story so I am going to keep it simple if you love Dark erotic books with Twists this is the box set for you.

Facade is a dark twisted Mind F*** nothing is what it seems and I didn't see that coming I really can't say enough about this book but by the end of the book I was like WTF it is so well written and Ker and Dawn I know I say it every time but yes this book has to be one of your best but as a first together it is Outstanding I really Can' wait to see where the story goes from here I am so excited.

Cadence picks up right after the events of Facade and with the shocking revelation that it left us with.
This time we get to see the book through the eyes of Cade.... Dante's Twin I will not give much away as I don't want to spoil it for anyone.

Beneath Innocence
It covers Jenson and Blue story and what happened after the ending of Cadence It is a quick read but it covers the effects and impact of both their Life's and they did struggle with what had happened to blue we get the story told from both POV so we get to see how Jenson and Blue are both feeling .

FACADE

Wow. I absolutely sped through this book to the end. Dark, depraved and damn gripping. I couldn't put it down! An absolute rollercoaster, twists and turns I couldn't have even imagined, I finished this book with a gasp and a hand to my mouth in shock, I love that I am always kept on my toes by this duos collaborative works and never know what to expect and always proven wrong with my guesses. Completely genius, there's not many that can do that to me anymore.
The characters and the story sucked me in right to the end. Can't wait to read book 2!

CADENCE

Amazing. I could not have guessed how it would all play out. I was shocked, hot, horrified, sad and shocked all at different points. An emotional rollercoaster, so many different events all playing out, I didnt know what was going to happen. I was on the edge of my seat practically biting my nails as I sped through this book wanting to find out if good wins out or bad takes them all down. No spoilers from me though. Loving this series and looking forward to reading the novella.

BENEATH INNOCENCE

I really like this novella, I loved how we got to see more of Jenson and Blue in this how their story carried on and what led them to where they ended up. I absolutely broke for Blue I was sobbing my heart out for her. I was surprised at the route Jenson went down in this book but putting it into perspective its not actually that surprising. A brilliant tie off to this series and I loved it.

FREAKING AMAZING.
So dark, so twisted , you will have doubts about what is real and what is not.

In the 2 books the story focuses on Faye, aka Star, who is kidnapped and who remembers absolutely nothing, not even her name. Her captor, Dante, convinces her that they are engaged and that all the abuses suffered during her captivity have been to fulfill a fantasy of her. She begins to have flashbacks of her past and begins to remember her life with him, but still is something that doesn’t fit. And it is that although she was with Dante for many years and he loved him deeply, now her heart belongs to Cade, who after discovering that she is not dead as everyone believes, comes to her rescue. But time with Dante has caused a dent in her and it will not be easy for her to return to her life, besides Dante is not willing to lose her and he will play dirty to get her back.
In the third book the main characters are Blue and Jenson, Cade’s friend, helped him rescue Faye, and Blue paid the consequences as Dante’s partners kidnapped her and tortured her for it. Jenson, in love with her for years, decides to take revenge, but all that ends up separating them and they both see themselves on a path to self-destruction.

Totally worth it, highly recommended.

Holy. Mother. Of. All. Shits.

This book was a mindfuck and a half. At least three full thrusts straight to my brain.

If you’re looking for redemption, go elsewhere.

If you’re looking for a strong heroine that is still flawed, as well as some psychopaths, read this book.

You might hate the human race after but it’s definitely worth it. Maybe.

A series worth investing in. It's sexy, raunchy, dirty, and intense.

This series is dirty and raunchy but so addicting.
Facade is about Dante and Star. Star has been captured. Star awakens in a cell with no memories of who she is or where she is.
Dante is a man who sought vengeance in capturing Star. He was betrayed by his bodies needs and urges.
Dante enjoys indulging in perverse desires. Capturing Star was about fulfilling those desires. Keeping her memories at bay was his way of controlling her body.
It's a haunting read. It's a chilling reading about abuse especially sexual abuse. Even if it's consensual it's still mind bogging reading the pleasure it brings people.
Imagine waking up and finding out your memories have been erased by a man who your body remembers. Star is faced with the dilemma of believing she was part of an experiment where you act out your fantasy with no recollection of who you are.
Sexually graphic in the most erotic way. These authors take fetish to a new level by adding mystery and intrigue. Not to mention the uncertainty if this is consensual. This could be a game of manipulation by use of clouding ones mind to gain control of ones body. The game Dante plays is a dirty game that has you questioning everything.

CaDence is about Dante, Cade, and Faye. The secret is out. Brothers pining for the same woman. Dante claiming his Star while Cade fights to keep Faye. Two different women appealing to two different men. Star was an artist. Faye was an actress. While the body is the same the person inside is very different.
The sexual comparisons between both men are oddly the same yet different. The same when comparing dirty play, but different in the treatment in that dirty play. Dante gives dirty a new meaning. It's now Cade's turn at playing his game of vengeance. This one is more dramatic since Cade is fueled by rage. Dante is revolting in the way he shows ownership. His sex games are tiring me out. I've read enough of his semen spreading ways. Time to move on. They took it too far. No longer entertained by his cruelty. No pleasure can come from this type of torture or humiliation. 4⭐️s for my ability to endure the taunting cruelty of Dante.

Beneath Innocence is about Jensen seeking vengeance on the men who hurt Blue. Jensen mourns the loss of Blue through his lyrics. He is the lead singer in his band Beneath Innocence. Blue is still healing. Jensen is on a downward spiral of sex,drugs and alcohol. Blue is trying to gain control of her body with safe choices. The lyrics that Jensen wrote were a great addition to the story. The sex, as always, was graphic and naughty. Jensen bring a rockstar lived a rockstar life on the stage and off stage. Any type of experience was a welcomed experience. Jensen had it all until it no longer mattered. Consumed by the numbness he needed an intervention yo gain back control of his life.

This set knocks or out of the park. Excellent read

I absolutely loved these books. For those who like dark erotica with some mystery, you will love this.
This review contains spoilers...
Book one was very deceptive as you navigate the mystery of who she is (Star/Faye), how she got there, who Dante is and what is the real truth. The torturous abuse and emotional abuse Dante puts her through are despicable. Then the end of book comes and finally everything China together into a huge culmination of plot and it is mind blowing. I never saw that coming. Wow.
Book two starts off where book one ends and we meet Cade. Faye had finally realized who she is and struggles with what has happened while she had no memory. A lot of action goes down, we think Faye is saved but she actually goes back to Dante to eradicate all his evidence he had on her, and bring an end to his malevolence. The ending is epically written, dark and evil. Those that wronged Blue and Faye and others meet their fate.
Book three is about Jensen and Blue. They struggle with the aftermath of what happened, but end up finding their way back to each other.
Then we get a bonus Christmas novella about Cade and Faye, which was a delightful addition.
Loved this whole series, dark erotica at its best.

Great series

What a turbulent ride, up down, twists and turns. Every couple chapters.... didn't see that coming. Can you imagine waking up and having absolutely NO CLUE who you are, where you are or how you got there? Lol, that's just the beginning. Then introduce the lies, deception and psychotic people that are telling you to trust them.

Very good indeed!! A very dark, twisted, erotic and violent tale. Not for the easily offended as it contains very graphic violent and sex scenes. Loved the characters, the plot is very good, took a very different direction than I was expecting!!
