Review: I want my very own Shade!
Rating: 4 out of 5

The most anticipated book of The Last Riders series!Even Sex Piston, Teased, and Tainted have built us up to this moment. Did it deliver? Heck yeah!** You should read Sex Piston to get the full picture of Shade's Fall's prologue and you MUST read Teased and Tainted to understand the entirety of Lily's background. Plus the characters from Teased and Tainted make an appearance and they are too important to Lily's story to not get to know them prior to reading this book. **After Lily's ordeal at the end of Sex Piston, Shade let Razer and Beth know he is done waiting for Lily. But winning over someone like Lily with her issues is not going to be easy. Shade is not deterred, she's it for him. He knows she needs a strong, dominant man. He wants to change her coping mechanisms. He wants her to come to him as a safe place instead of Beth. And he's patient with her. He knows when to push and when to pull back.I liked watching Lily's confidence grow as far as sticking up for herself, not shrinking away from club "activities", and becoming comfortable with her own sexuality.Shade pulled a Viper as far as his own "activities" within the club and when they ceased. But issues still arose, especially because the women are all in the house and they talk. I still think Bliss needs to be taken down a notch. lol. And I loved when Lily decided to stop running off and she would ask herself, "What would Sex Piston do?" The scene with Shade's jacket was priceless!I liked the pacing of the book. Begley took her time hooking them up, anything faster wouldn't have fit. Shade paid attention to Lily's wants, dreams, fears. How can you not love him?"I love you.  When I say it, I don't say it lightly.  I say it because when I look at you, I see an angel who God let slip through his fingers to leave behind for me. Lily, you belong.  You belong to me.  You will always belong to me."  Swoon!!When Lily finally opened that door in her mind and revealed what life was like with her mother I had a feeling Shade already knew. My heart broke for her. No wonder she locked it all away. But when it did open, with Beth and Shade's love, she was strong enough to face it and let that door stay open.My main complaint is that I thought this book was 70% Lily/30% Shade. I wanted more of Shade's background, more of his pov.I did love Lily's reunion with Vida and Sawyer, it was a touching moment. And we weren't without a few surprises...ahem...Pastor Dean. Loved it. It's hard to say who will be featured in the next book, there were a few possibilities. I won't be disappointed with whoever Begley goes with. Well done!
