Shade
A Billionaire Romance
(GOLDEN HEIR SERIES #1)
Shayne Ford
This isn’t the first trilogy that I’ve read by Shayne Ford. The first one was the spin-off “Shades of Love”. It was then that I read about Shade and Tara. I’ve wanted to read their love story ever since.
This book was a quick, easy read. I read it straight through not putting it down once. Which doesn’t happen often. I’m chomping at the bit to start book 2, which is sitting in my kindle library.
Shade and Tara are a perfect combination. The first time they meet is at a work party in the shadows. They had a steamy, sexual connection.
Tara got no name and never expects to see her mystery man, again. Until he who shows up at her job. She then learns her mystery man’s name & that he is part owner of her company. When Shade spots Tara. He has a difficult time walking away.
As these two get close, they will have to fight for the love they have. Shades mother, wants to stand in the way and put an end to the relationship. From the moment these two meet their is no denying the instant connection or explosive sexual chemistry. Neither have found that one person in their who truly deserves their love. Nor have put themselves first instead of going through the motions and pleasing others.
I’m ready to start in on reading, “Loving Shade” next. I have a feeling that there is about to be alot of changes occurring in Shade and Tara’s lives. Maybe quicker then they anticipate.
RUTHLESS HEARTFELT EXPLOSION!
Ruthless, heartfelt and an endless supply of angst. Extremely well written and unfolds with ease keeping the pages flowing with a fireworks of heated chemistry and a need to feel loved.
Shade and Tara are a beautifully written characters that show that opposites attract and what you see on the surface is not always what is inside a person. Well written, this story just flowed so well and I really enjoyed this first book. Looking forward to the next book in the series and reading more by this author.
This book ends in a cliffhanger!
The manipulation that some of these characters use is mind-boggling and underhanded!! Shade is a complex character who is warring with his mother. Tara seems like a great lady with her own issues. Can’t wait to see what happens in the next book!
Tara is a young woman who thought she was happy with her job or her personal life, but actually had not thought seriously about it until one night she met a man at a company party and they talked among other things, he enlightened her and she seemed shocked that he understood her better than she understood herself. He made her realize that she wasn’t happy at her job or in her personal life and especially about the man who she was totally dissatisfied with, he made her think and feel in a way that had never struck her before. She didn’t know him and never found out his name that night. But he did make her think and when she came into work on Monday morning everyone in the company was in an uproar over the owners the Hennessy’s were in the office. Every female in the building was looking at the tall handsome man talking with her boss Claire with another woman I assumed was his wife but turned out to be his mother. And she didn’t like me when she found out that her son had been with me and was still interested. Things happened, Elia, his mother had Claire her boss spying on them and he informed his mother that would not continue to happen. Claire informed Tara that she was expected to train employees in Wisconsin for the next week and Elia informed Shade that he would be going to Europe and Shade decided that he was taking Tara with him. I enjoyed the storyline and the characters. I purchased this book. I am providing an honest review.
Shade: A Billionaire Romance (Golden Heir Series Book 1)
Shayne Ford
If you are looking for a hot steamy read, this is the book for you. There is lots of steaminess, but there is also a nice storyline. Tara works for a big company, and is at a company event where she is stood up by her boyfriend. She is on a balcony/terrace and a stranger starts talking to her, and they talk. He reads her like he has known her forever. They end up having very hot sex. She gets a glimpse of him as he is leaving, but figures that’s the end of that. Imagine her surprise when she finds out he is family of the owners of the company she works for. Will he recognize her? Will they be able to keep what happened a secret or will it happen again? Shade’s mom and him have a very unusual relationship, and she tries hard to rule every aspect of his life. She thinks she knows he had sex with Tara in an office, and is not happy and is willing to go to great lengths to keep them apart and ruin Tara. Shade is having nothing to do with that. At first you think Shade is just a spoiled guy, but the way he interacts with Tara is so different. Tara has always done what was expected of her, often not taking into consideration her feelings and what she wants. For the first time ever, she is going for what she wants with Shade. Shade has found someone he truly cares about and who cares about him, probably for the first time in his life. I love their interactions and of course the explosive chemistry they have. So many people are against them and trying to tear them apart. I can’t wait to read the next book to see what happens. I am definitely rooting for them because they bring out the best in each other!
So I liked both Shade and Tara but I felt like this book was based on their sex lives rather then the work that needed to be done. I also caught that age difference was an issue and maybe that was just with her ex but I didn’t see it as super strange but whatever. I felt like she didn’t really have a chance to get over the ex, I do realize it was one of those dying relationships that should have ended before it began, ok. I liked how we got point of views. I can’t believe I’m writing this but I wished it was more story line and not all the smokin hot sex they were having. I mean it was good but I would have liked more story to this book. I’m not saying I won’t read the next book cause I probably will.
Tara work for a billion dollar corporation to pay the bills. Shes meets Shade by chance on the balcony of a dinner she is at. He can read her like a book. Little does she know that night, she was with her boss. When she meets him again, she is shocked. This book is very steamy. Great read
Tara Hart is reluctantly attending a corporate event for her job when she is stood up again by her boyfriend Josh. But the night is not all bad when she finds herself having sex with a stranger outside of the event and when he leaves she doesn’t even catch his name.
Shaded Hennessy works for his mom, Elia, and the two have a weird and strained relationship. Elia doesn’t like Shade calling her “mom” but she also has her own plans for him which would make her stronger in the business world.
When Tara discovers who Shade is can she keep their relationship professional or will Tara crumble under pressure and lose everything she has worked so hard to obtain?
This was a good book and I enjoyed all of the twists and turns and there was a lot of scorching moments!
I thought Tara was a great character who was in a terrible relationship with Josh and totally did something spur of the moment and out of character. Tara enjoyed her job but you could also see that she was worried about her boss, Claire Long, who expected a lot from Tara and soon you could see that she was also trying to get rid of her.
Shade was a much more interesting character and I feel like there is still a lot we are missing. His relationship with his mom was odd and not conventional. Shade wanted to do what he wanted to but his mom had other plans and would do what she could to keep Shade doing what she wanted him to.
The chemistry between Shade and Tara was through the roof from the moment they first met but they have so much working against them. I feel like there is more to Claire hating Tara from the moment it was apparent that Tara and Shade were becoming closer. I was shocked at what Claire began to do and where she started sending Tara.
Tara is worried about whether or not she will still have a job after one of her business trips as no matter what Shade and Tara want for themselves it isn’t what Elia wants.
I’m curious to see what happens in the next book!

Tara is at a boring job but it pays the bills, she has a boring wardrobe and a very boring boyfriend but one night she meets a stranger who changes everything she knows.
Shade lonely playboy stuck working in a company with his mother and he hates it but when he sees Tara he realized he may just enjoy it. Shade has a lot of layers and there is more going on that hasn’t been revealed, it does end in a cliffhanger so be prepared.
I don’t usually read billionaire romances, bit I am glad I read this one, and I am excited to read more about Shade and Tara! Tara is a sales associate for a company. Shade is the owner’s son. A chance meeting has led them to love, can they hold on through everything that is going to be thrown at them?
Unpredictable. Love this story between Shade and Tara. Never know whats going to happen between them.
This is a weird one. I didn’t know if I would even finish the book a few chapters in. All is was is the sex life of the main characters and Shade was pretty much a jerk. Fortunately, it got better and I got to understand Shade. This is not the whole story though! You have to get the next 2 books to find out what happens. 3.75 Stars lol!
Shade is book 1 of the Golden Heir Series. I say this with each review, but it’s so true, Shayne Ford never disappoints with her characters or her storytelling. I’m always so impressed and immersed in each one. After spending all his life in a boarding school in Switzerland, Shade has just returned home. He’s now 20 yrs old. Tara has been working at the company owned by Shade’s family for 6 months in the Sales department. Their meeting at a company function was very unconventional to say the least. Now these two are facing animosity and condemnation from all corners. This is a quick moving story with characters that once again will draw you in. You won’t be disappointed.
This book was a bit of a disappointment for me. I’ve read other books by Shayne Ford and was expecting more. Tara is a weak, boring, a person who has settled for her life and relationship, not particularly interesting. Shade is too much of an enigma and what you do know about him isn’t all good. I just didn’t connect with either character so that tends to leave me pretty cold about the whole book. The positive about this book is even though there is a cliffhanger, all 3 books are available for free with your KU subscription.
What a great start to a new series by Shayne Ford. I was hooked from the first page until the end and wanted even more, I can’t wait for the next book to see what happens to Tara and Shade.
Shade sees Tara at a work function and immediately can read her like a book and ends up giving her what she needs at that exact moment. Tara is a good girl, but Shade makes her want and reach for more than she thought possible. She wants to break out of her cage, just like Shade is trying to do with his mother and company.
Like another reviewer quoted Shayne’s book, I think it was spot on to what Shayne makes you feel when writing in how she writes the moments and makes you feel them with her and the characters. The quote was “I wish I could be the wind, so I can kiss your face…. and breathe all over skin”. Takes your breath away when you imagine that being whispered in your ear.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Review I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy, I really enjoyed this book form the first page, it was a brilliant story and it pulled me into the story till i finished it. can Shade and Tara over coming everything that is coming at them, Wait yes there is cliff hangers which only makes you want t get your hands on the next book. Grab a copy now, its a must read. Shayne another great book

JJ’s review Jul 03, 2017 · edit
it was amazing
This is not your typical erotic romance story … and Shade is not your typical man. He is powerful, strong-willed, and mature beyond his 21 years. He understands the power of love and he is not afraid of embracing it no matter the cost. His relationship with Tara, his soul mate, will be challenged and quite possibly destroyed by individuals working behind the scenes. Will they be successful?
The story should come with a warning: You will fall in love with him! This is a man who lives through his soul and because he does, you will feel his love, his pain, his loss…and his joy. You will find yourself smiling, blushing and quite possibly weeping and all the while feeling more engaged than you may have felt in ages.
Shayne Ford has created a complicated but well developed cast of characters who will draw you into the story immediately. Don’t be surprised if there are moments where you feel like a voyeur, actually present and watching the characters interact. The story and writing is just that powerful and the emotional value is addicting. This book is for the 18+ reader due to language and sexual content.
