Casual Encounters Vol V is very fast paced. While the first couple in the series were Bree exploring her sexuality and coming out of her shell with Cade’s help. This one was hot with Bree and Cade’s need for each other. Cade’s past comes full front and Bree almost loses him. There were a lot of emotional highs and lows for Bree. I found myself even feeling for Cade and his past. Bree and Cade work together to make a future. It was endearing and sweet to see them work through everything. The ending was really great. Casual Encounters is an excellent series that you will want to read off of the books.

Casual Encounters Volume 3 is more sensual book. It has us learning even more about Cade and what drives him. The prior two books only give us glimpses of him. In this book, Bree is still learning who she wants to be as a sexy self confident woman. Bree and her best friend Adelle are coming to terms with their long standing friendship, being more open and honest with each other. Cade takes Bree away for the weekend for her final lessons. And it’s a lesson that Bree wants to take control of and fallow with her heart and not what Cade tells her.

This book is better read if you have read the first two but not necessary.

Casual Encounters is a series that will have you wanting to read all of the books. Volume 1 starts out as a sweet romance where Bree has been left at the church and must now find her way again. Her best friends Adelle and Mindy are there for Bree. They help her get out dating men again with interesting results. Cade is one of the men that Bree goes to dinner. Bree is really attracted to Cade and he treats her well. But there’s more to Cade than Bree knows.

The book had a quick POV from Cade at the end giving us a view Cade’s thoughts. Giving us just the slightest glimpse of Cade and how he operates. The bang at the end had me gasping and needing to read the next book.
