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.

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

Where was Cary?!?!?!?!

While I love the story thus far, I find it hard to finish because of the narrator! She's terrible!!! I really wish it was Cary as he really brings the characters to life but Kim's voice is so flat. Can't really get into the story because of it and the fact that she keeps calling Shai... Shay

We just needed Cary Hite for the series!"

I am an avid Kwan fan, love, love, love his books, but this narrator, shot the series for me! Hell, I couldn't even enjoy Ms. Pat! I know everybody got to eat and you trying to feed others, but damn, let them jack some other work up! I just returned the whole book! Hurt me to my heart Cary Hite wasn't narrating!

The narrator is terrible!

The story line was good but struggled to finish due to the narration. Kim should not ever narrate any book ever again in life!!
