First off, if you have not read the first three books in the Last Rider series, you need to read those. Second, you need to read the first book in the Biker Bi***** series, Sex Piston. Third, you need to read the first two books in The VIP Room series. Without those books being read first, you will never be able to put together the many characters and intricate plot that the author has brought together in Shade's Fall.Having absolutely no real life experience in the world of BDSM I can only compare this author's changes to Shade's very dominant character in comparison to how other author's have presented their characters. In the Fifty Shades of Grey series as well as the Up in the Air series, both authors presented very different views of their characters Dom personalities.  Both Christian Grey as an admitted sadist and James Cavendish as a seemingly very emotionless man showed marked differences in their approach as Doms to Anastasia and Bianca.I did not feel that Shade made as many changes to his Dom side as the others did since we were never given but the briefest glimpses on him during the other books. So, I did not feel cheated when he did seemingly change how he dealt with Lily.I loved how the author brought all of the series together in this book  The  details she gave as insights into all of the Last Riders' characters and the plot she wove to bring us into Lily's nightmare childhood was heartbreaking. My biggest fear is that the author will feel her job is done with the Last Riders series. I feel that her job is not yet done and would love to know more about Train, Rider, Cash, Crash and even Nickel and especially Lucky. But in opposition to a previous reviewer I DO want to also delve into the women's stories.  I am fascinated by Jewel, Raci, Bliss, Ember and especially Evie. The psychological make-up of these very strong, sensual women has got to be fascinating.  I personally cannot wait for the series to continue.However, I have to comment on the poor/absence of editing that occurs in today's independent market. Especially for those authors who  thank their beta readers and/or editors. The sheer number of grammatical/sentence structure and absolutely horrible mistaken/ double word plays are not to be believed. Does anyone really read the story before online publishing  happens? The word should be acclimated, not accumulated! It drives my poor heart and brain crazy to see a good author have to accept this as normal.  It is not enough to take you completely out of the story, it's just enough to be very noticeable.
