It was the year Shay Evans found freedom, became a published writer, turned in some astonishing scenes and scored herself her second AVN Awards nomination.

The early highlight for The Puerto Rican Princess’ 2018 was become a published writer, sharing her dirty tales first in March with the release of Getting Off: Shay’s Sexy Stories and then following up with two more Sexy Storieseditions. It was an opportunity for her to unleash some of her own experiences with the world, the perfect 1-2 combination to go with her amazing scenes.

Her first DVD of the year was the well-reviewed Black Lust 5 (Pure Passion), a gorgeous solo leg-spredder for Shay. The five-foot-nada beauty went on to star in such movies as Pint Sized Cock Pocket (NSFW Films), Art of Romance 6 (EroticaX), Career Sluts 2 (Brazzers), Teeny Black Chicks Trying White Dicks 14 (Team Skeet), Ebony Sex Tapes Vol. 5 (MOFOS) and My Dirty Maid 10 (Bang Bros). Her final release of 2018 was Fucking Awesome’sThe Workout, which shows Shay at her cock-pleasing finest.

She had big featuring dates, including Sapphire locations in NYC and Las Vegas. Shay had two nominations for the 10th annual Urban X Awards, Urban X Hottie and Nicest Breasts. She also closed out the year with a nom for the 2019. AVN Awards for Most Spectacular Boobs. It is her second in the category.

But perhaps the biggest news for her career came this year as Shay became a free agent, repping her own bookings. A rare, insatiable beauty, Shay expects to continue the uptick in work she’s seen since in 2019 and beyond.
