Publisher's summary

No shade means "no offense" (as defined by Urban Dictionary).

Example: Don't tell her I told you, but your little cousin is a ho. No shade.

Every little girl dreams of a happy ending to her story - a home, children, and a man who loves her enough to share his life and last name. When Billy's longtime boyfriend, Marcus, finally pops the question, it's one of the happiest moments of her life.

Billy calls on her childhood friends, Reese and Yoshi, to stand with her on her special day. Several years have passed since they'd last come together, and unresolved issues have driven a wedge between the women. Nevertheless, they agree to put their differences aside for the sake of Billy's wedding. But the truce is a short one when Billy has to decide on a maid of honor. Just when things seem to be coming together, they quickly begin to fall apart. At a time when Billy is supposed to be basking in the sunshine of her approaching wedding, she finds herself the target of shade being thrown from the most unlikely places.

While Billy is going through her drama, Marcus is dealing with issues of his own. An old crime partner of his blows into town unexpectedly, and his presence threatens to destroy the legitimate life Marcus has worked so hard to build.

Even with the universe seemingly working against them, Billy and Marcus are determined to have their dream wedding. But first they have to survive the nightmare of planning it.

There goes the neighborhood...again.

Good story, bad reading!

Loved the story, but I did not care for the reader. I did not like her voice for any of the characters, and she mispronounced the name of one of the characters through the whole book!

couldn't really get used to the narrator. ..

Great story as usual.....sooooo mad about how it ended....can't wait to see what's really good!!!!

NOT A ROMANCE BOOK

This book should not be included in the romance section. It was more drama than anything. I read romance for the perfect ending not a cliff hanger. I have listened to many books but this one I completed and felt cheated. I felt like I was missing many back stories as many issues did not make sense.

Bad narration!

Come on…if you have listened this far into the series you are vested in the characters & storyline but the delivery almost ruined the story. After all these books “Shy” becomes “Shay”. Uugh

It’s a great Book

My only dislike about the book is the Reader. I hate how her voice sounds and I try to avoid all books she read. It with have been great with Cary Hite. He’s the only reader that can read K’wan books perfectly

Gucci and Animal?

I'm tryna figure out where's Gucci and Animal. I've been listening to book after book and they haven't showed back up

no shade

This reader is not bad ,,,she's horrible..her reading takes away from the story line.
This is a wonderful writer,but it didn't hold my attention

Story was good narrator was horrible

The story was a typical Kwan book which I enjoyed. The narrator ducked. She needs lessons in pronunciation.

At least get the names right...

Getting names wrong is a No-No.. Especially when there are many other books and readings of the same cast of characters

Narrator no bueno

First of all, the narrator should've been told how to pronounce names.. She pronounced "Shy or Shai" as "Shaaayy" the whole story, drove me nuts. The story was strong and I'm a fan of K'wan but you have to love the hood stories to appreciate his books!
