The third installment of Casual Encounter by best-selling author M.S. Parker is a must-read seductive roller-coaster.
*I really like how with every installment things between Cade and Aubree get even more complicated and intense. The sexy scenes get steamier with each installment. I really enjoy reading the thoughts in Aubree’s head. They are quite entertaining. I would really like to learn more about Cade and what’s going on inside his head. I can’t wait till the next installment.

After agreeing to Cade’s proposal to transform her into a confident woman, Bree keeps telling herself over and over, it is just business. No matter how many times Bree tells herself that, can she really believe that or will she admit she is starting to fall for him? Will Cade just keep this as a no strings attached deal?
Characters: The characters were well written and believable.
Sex: yes
Religious: no

Bree finds out that Adelle is still sleeping with Cade. She's hurt, she confused. She ends her time with Cade only to find out that Adelle cancelled her sessions too. Cade refuses to let Bree go, he's not done with her. Can a weekend away with Cade be everything Bree imagined it could be or will Cade still be in "teacher" mode?
I am loving this series. I have to tear myself away from my kindle just to get a review written before I jump into the next book. Bree's feelings are so out there (It is in her POV, lol) I know Cade feels something for her too. Can he keep fighting those feelings?

This book starts with Aubree having made the decision to end the deal her and Cade have after discovering that Cade and Adelle were still sleeping
together. Cade insists that they continue on with their deal and surprises Aubree with a weekend getaway. Aubree is really excited thinking that it will
be amazing to spend the whole weekend having sex with Cade... only Cade has other ideas. He wants Aubree to try out her newly honed skills on
a blind date -- that goes terribly wrong. I really liked that we're getting more of Cades history in this book.
Great continuation and as always leaves you wanting more... can't wait for book 4!
I was give a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Fully immersed in the experience, Bree is falling deeper, and playing a game with herself to make sure she covers up her true feelings. Is Cade starting to break rules, or just pushing her? - I'm really enjoying the voyeurism this story is presenting to me!
Onto book 4 as this could unfold into quite a big mess, or an amazing opportunity!

I absolutely love Aubree and Cade together even though it is only to teach Aubree. I love the interaction with these characters and can't get enough. I really want to know more and more about Cade and can't wait until the next book comes out.

The story of Cade and Bree continues. Wow what a story it is too. You feel all the emotions in M.S.Parkers books. Her ability to write is just amazing. She doesn't just give you a cliff-hanger. She demolishes the cliff leaving your emotions no where else to go. You just constantly check your kindle for the next instalment. I think this is the best series so far. They just get better and better.

Original Blog Post: Blog Tour, eARC Series Review: Casual Encounter Series by M.S. Parker
There are writers who release their work volume by volume and M.S. Parker is of the few that do it very well, Casual Encounter being one of those works. Her gift isn't just within the crafting of the story itself but knowing exactly when to cut the scenes so the reader isn't left annoyed but rather, intrigued, at what will happen next.
Bree is a woman scorned, and hurt so badly she sees no hope for any love in her future. She'd been left at the altar at her long-planned wedding when the groom ran off with the wedding planner. Jilted and betrayed, she's sworn off anything to do with men, dating, and romance. Her two best friends don't see it that way and an attempt to get them to back off has her agreeing to a blind date that has disaster on the horizon. She is rescued by a virtual stranger, who turns out to be her next blind date!
Cade feels nothing for women except the good time he can give them. That good time comes at a price, though, one he charges a pretty penny for. Or a decadent dollar, since he's one of the top, highest paid escorts with benefits in the city. He's a "gift" for Bree, paid for by her best friend to get her out of her funk and he intends to be nothing more than that.
What follows is a woman's erotic journey of self discovery through her sensuality and passion as Cade pushes Bree farther and farther away from her safe zones to experience feelings and situations she'd never even imagined. Cade has only one rule: once an attraction forms beyond that of a business agreement, everything stops and they both walk away. Bree agrees but can she keep her part of the bargain? Will Cade?
At the very beginning, I found Cade to be an arrogant, pompous, piece of work who treated Bree superciliously despite his full knowledge of why they were both brought together. Slowly (VERY slowly) he turns into a person you would want to know as more of himself is revealed. I came to actually like him - not pity, Cade is too strong for that - and rooted for him at the end when Bree had a choice of who she could end up with.
On the other hand, Bree was always strong, despite being so very sadly insecure and lacking in self worth. Cade proved to be more than good for her, showing her exactly how attractive she truly is, negating those little voices that whisper she's worthless and undesirable. She completely aced his challenges and fought back for her beliefs, no matter what the consequences would be.
This is a beautifully fast-paced book that keeps you constantly on the edge, even during the inevitable happy ending. You would never know how things would turn out exactly which is something I truly enjoy. Add the pain that Cade has gone through to the sexual tension and hinted suspense throughout Casual Encounter, and you've got a truly sexy, hot read courtesy of M.S. Parker.

Already a HUGE lover of this series I felt giddy when I got my hands on my copy of Casual Encounter Vol. 3 by M.S. Parker early! This series really is turning out to be one of my guilty pleasures, I am hanging on barely waiting for the next installment already as I write this!
Bree was left devastated at the betrayal of her best friend ........ (again) when it concerned Cade. She knew he had other clients but the shock of her best friend still screwing the same guy she was (even if it was paid for and no emotions are involved.....yeah right!)
We left right off again at the massive cliffhanger where Bree discovered that Adelle is still sleeping with Cade. Pain strikes right through Bree's heart as she feels like she is being betrayed by her best friend yet again, their friendship is already hanging by a tenuous thread. Are Bree and Adelle able to get over this hurdle that has been put in the path of their friendship?
Bree tells Cade it's over she just can't do it but Cade has other ideas, he hasn't finished with her just yet........The need to teach her is just too strong, is this signs of how things are to come with him? Is he invested more than he is letting on? For Bree she is beginning to see Cade as more than a teacher, he has shown her his studio, his personal sanctuary for one of their lessons, she feels closer to him than she has ever before. Can she put a stop to her feelings before they go too far?
Cade wanting to train her further takes her away for a surprise weekend trip. Bree finally decides to take her honeymoon wedding negligee out for a spin packing it away into her suitcase. When they arrive at the hotel all of Bree's hopes are dashed because there are two bedrooms and even though they enjoy some serious wickedly hot sex he leaves her at the end of it to walk away to his own bedroom to sleep. Feeling deflated and slightly used she goes to sleep in her own bed feeling lonely.
By the end of the weekend Cade surprises her by saying that he has set up a date for her so that she can show off her skills, the final piece of the puzzle. Can she go through with it knowing her feeling for Cade are growing?........
Casual Encounter #3 by M.S Parker has really wet my appetite and it will be a new type of torchure waiting for Casual Encounter #4 to come out!! Casual Encounter Vol. 3

This is the 3rd in book the series and should be read in order.
When Bree discovers that Adelle still hasn’t listen to what she has said about moving on she leaves and ends the agreement with Cade. After talking things out with Adelle, Bree is seeing things in a new light. The problem is she thought she could keep her emotions out of the agreement with Cade but the more time she spends with him the more she feels for him. Will Bree be able to keep her feelings hidden from Cade or will he figured it out and end things before Bree wants to?
I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review.
After finding out that Adelle is still seeing Cade, she leaves her friends house to deal with her feelings. The fact that she didn’t just rip Adelle’s head off show that Bree does have some control over her action. Finding out your friend is sleeping with the same man as you can be disturbing but the fact that Cade is an escort it shouldn’t be surprising. I don’t blame Bree for ending the agreement with Cade for this reason. She wasn’t naïve enough to think he wasn’t with other clients but your friend is a little hard to swallow. Once Cade confronts Bree about the situation she sees things in a different light and she takes the high road, which is not something most people will do. Adelle showed a great level of compassion and maturity and stays away from Cade as long as he is with Bree. It’s not that she has to, but she does it for the sake of her friends and it shows just how much she really does care about how Bree feels. As things progress with Bree and Cades agreement the readers get a hint of how these to are both fooling themselves.
In Cade’s point of view we finally get to see how he started out as an escort. There was a preview of his past but not what made him hard and left him believing that love doesn’t exist. Cade is definitely the most intriguing character thought out this book. The way he interacts with both Bree and Adelle and how he adjust to be what they both needs, is amazing.
This series continues to be a sexy and a very daring read with a few twists just to keep you on the edge of you seat. I can’t wait to see what is in store for Bree and Cade or what twist M. S. Parker will through at us!!

STARS: 5
POV: First
Series: Yes
Cliffhanger: Yes
Bree knows who Cade is and what he does, but knowing her best friend is still an active client is enough for Bree to call it quits. Cade is not willing to let her go just yet. He convinces her to continue with their lessons and that Adelle is no longer on the clientele list. With that out of the way, Bree now fights a new battle. She is starting to fall for the handsome escort.
She knows if she tells him how she feels, their business arrangement will be over. It’s getting harder and harder to deny her feelings for him. When he takes her away for the weekend, she thinks maybe…just maybe….but little does she know that this getaway is to further her training.
They share a suite but not the same bedroom. This stings for Bree but she has to remind herself that for him, it’s just business. It’s further confirmed when Cade sets Bree up on a blind date for her to test all the skills she has learned. Will Bree be able to go through with seducing another man when her heart belongs to Cade? You’ll have to read to find out.
Three volumes in and I can’t get enough. I have been glued to my kindle all day reading this series. MS Parker has a way of pulling you in deep and becoming hooked on her stories. This series is no exception. Cade has so many secrets and I want to know them! I have to know them. What is going to happen next???? The sex is off the charts steamy. The characters are amazing. Go 1-click and get all hot and bothered by the hot escort named Cade!!

4 Stars!
I enjoyed this series. To me, it was very different than any of her other series. The storyline... the plot... everything was different. I have to admit that I absolutely loved this author and will one click her books without even really looking because I know she is that good and I know what to expect. And this book hit that mark.
This book was really good. It was sweet, sexy, naughty, suspenseful, and left me totally satisfied at the end (though each book does have a cliffhanger until the final volume). This book really did a good job showing the strength and perseverance a woman can have when life gives her a hand of sh!t. This book flowed well and had me turning the pages quickly wanting to get to the end.
This is Bree and Cade's story. In the third installment of this series, Bree and Cade are on a sexual adventure on her friend's dime... yes he is still being paid to be with her because he was still sleeping with her friend. Nonetheless, no strings and no feelings because after all, Cade doesnt do feelings. But as lines being to blur and lines are crossed, disaster is brewing because its not possible to be in a monogamous relationship with a woman. And when Cade sets Bree out on her own, will he be able to go through with it or will he come to his sense?
I liked Bree and Cade enough. I had a hard time connecting with both of them at times and that really was hard for me though I loved the storyline. Cade was an as$ at times and I wanted to smack Bree quite a bunch. But by the end, they had won me over. Her friends... questionable at best sometimes. But in the end, I loved their happy ending and I am sure with time the author will give us more in the future!
I recommend this series!

After finding out that Adelle still uses Cade after she knows of the arrangement that Bree and Cade have set up, Bree honestly doesn't know what to think, as in her head she thinks that it will end up being like it used her being compared to Adelle. So even after Bree cancelling everything to do with Cade he still comes round to her house and instructs her that their sessions aren't over until he says they are.
Bree is finding that in a way she is loving the control Cade has over her but at the same time she kind of wishes that she didn't automatically fall under the spell that Cade has over her. However Bree is starting to find that whenever they arrange to meet she can't seem to concentrate on anything up until they see each other and even though the sex is utterly amazing she can't help but have these crazy thoughts in her head. When it becomes knowledge to her that Cade is taking her away for the weekend, she can't help but feel a little excited as in a way in her head she thinks this a little mini romantic getaway for them both but she knows deep down that it's just a business transaction. The more time that they spend together she seems to be falling for Cade but knows that it can't happen as that was what they both said up front to begin with.
What will happen when Cade instructs that she is to be going on a blind date to test out everything he has taught her. And also what will happen when Bree attempts to use all she knows on Cade. Honestly this story is getting hotter by the minute, especially if you love it when the guy is in charge. I honestly hope that something happens between Cade and Bree soon because I love them both as characters and after reading through the first three books they both deserve a bit of happiness. Honestly give this series a try and you won't be sorry.

Bree is starting to feel more for Cade but she can't let it show because if she does their arrangement will be over. Bree tries to cancel their arrangement after she finds out that her friend is still having sessions with him. Cade comes to Bree's house to find out way she wants to cancel their arrangement. When she tells him why, he tells her that he won't be seeing her friend till their arrangement is finished and that no one compares to her. Bree has to keep reminding herself that the things he says to her and not meant the way she is taking them. Will she be able to control herself or will she be forced to end things with Cade before she is ready?
I am really liking this series. Bree is trying to become this new confident woman who can do whatever she wants and have her friends take her seriously. Cade was supposed to help her do just that but she is starting to feel things for him. She is constantly having this war within herself about things he says and does with her and what they mean. She knows that he doesn't do relationships so she has to make sure she keeps her feelings hidden from him. I think Cade has feelings for Bree also but doesn't know what to do with them. He has been doing this for so long that this is all taking by surprise and he doesn't know what to do. I like that we are starting to learn about his past and how he started does this. I can't wait to find out more about his past. I am pulling for them to be together in the end.

Bree's lessons of becoming a seductress have begun. Chad's goal is to get Bree ready to run free in the dating world. Enjoy the fish in the pond, get use to the idea of casual sex. All things that Bree isn't necessarily comfortable with. She was brought up in a way that what others thought weighed heavily on how you lived your life. The stigma of casual sex is something quite difficult for her to grasp. Though she's still being groomed for the step of actual dating, it doesn't stop Chad in preparing her for the ways of the bedroom.
Being as how her relationship with her ex-fiance was extremely "vanilla," Chad's teaching her so many things that her limits are truly being pushed and tested. The problem is that because of her upbringing, it's difficult to separate intimacy and sex. Her time spent with Chad only adds to her Knight in Shining Armor syndrome she had before the arrangement began.
Despite his occupation, she see him for who he is deep down and she can't help but start to fall for this guy. The problem is...that was rule #1 of this deal. No feelings, no attachments or is O-V-E-R. Now Bree is aware of this, so she thinks she can continue with the lessons like nothing has changed, but there in lies the problem. She's having a difficult time maintaining a nonchalance attitude about everything and she fears that it will cause her to lose her time with him all together.
It's starting to get serious for these two and I can't wait for Vol. 4!!

Freakin Adele are you kidding me....
I know they have been friends forever and I know he is a paid escort for many other woman but I just cannot deal with Adele thinking it is ok to still use his services. EWWWW yes I am blocking out the fact that he is still servicing others because honestly he doesn't throw it in our faces and so I can forget about it !! Moving on....
Now Bree has had enough and attempts to end her contract with Cade as does Adele. Cade realizes what is going on and he is not ready to give up on Bree , he wants to help her become the woman she is meant to be. What has him so invested ?? Could he be developing feelings as well ?? Cade is a very confusing man and especially in this volume. Everytime Bree thinks he may care he does something weird or distant and she crumbles. Their weekend away seems to be a great start but the surprise Cade has Bree was a shocker and then what happens during that surprise , well part of it is a shocker and the other part not so much. Bree cannot feel attraction to others all she thinks of is Cade. I am loving how everything is getting more and more intense in each volume and you can tell the best is yet to come !!
I am hoping to finally get all of Cade's story , I just love him because I know there is something deep going on with him and the little pieces we get are great but I am feening for more info. What other twists and turns will come out !!

No time for a review! I have to read book 4!!!
January 2, 2015
Well, Bree accepts the offer. Why not? She's attracted to Cade, Adelle is paying, and she gets to have time with her knight and shining armor. She can learn to be seductive and hopefully gain her confidence back AND have her friends off her back about dating. What's not to love?
Cade teaches Aubree how to be that confident woman that he knows she can be. He also teaches her to be seductive so that she can have any man she desires and that she will have the power. Although, poor Aubree is still insecure and Cade will have none of that. As the lessons continue, Aubree begins to fall in love with Cade or at least that is what she thinks. Of course, she keeps her feeling secretive, for if she doesn't, the deal is off. That is the last Aubree wants.
Cade asks Aubree to go away for the weekend. Finally, all those honeymoon clothes and sexy lingerie can be put to some use! Cade has other ideas for the weekend and throws Aubree for a loop.

And here we are at Casual Encounters Vol III, clearly continuing with this story between Bree and Cade.
In this Vol, Cade lets Aubree know he is NOT done with her yet. And their agreement progresses again with Bree trying to hide her growing feelings toward Cade. Bree and her best friend hash it out and come to an understanding like only true lifelong friends can do. What will happen when Bree’s feelings can no longer be hidden?
Cade and Bree’s non-relationship-relationship heats up even more in this book. Anytime they are together their chemistry is electric. I feel as if they are both in denial, but I suppose only time will tell. I love the little snippets at the end of each book when we really get a glimpse into Cade’s mind and get his POV. I cannot get enough of that peek into his background which lets us see a little bit of what molded him into who he is today.

I am enjoying this series by MS Parker. In Volume 3 the sex is sizzling and the storyline is twisting. Bree is trying desperately to play by Cade's rules. He is teaching her how to be a confident, sexy woman who can get what (or who) she wants in life. The trouble is she is having issues keeping the relationship strictly professional. When he asks her to go away for the weekend, she thinks perhaps things could be changing. What she finds instead is a test that Cade is putting her through. He seems to know her every thought but to her, he is a closed book. But maybe, just maybe that hard facade is cracking? Only time will tell if she will go through with his test, or if their arrangement is over. The next installment is bound to make or break Bree's already fragile heart. I cannot wait.

I felt that this series is different than all the other series I have read from this author. The series has laughs, suspense, pain, betrayal, grief and heartbreak. Each story ends on a cliffhanger until the last installment. They also must be read in order.
This is Bree and Cade's story.
She starts to fall for him and he promises that her friend is no longer a client. Does she believe that this will last? He still has other clients…..
He takes her away but during the trip he wants her to seduce another man. The trip was a test and she is hurt. When things go wrong will he step up to help?
This series was good but I had trouble connecting with the characters. I found Cade almost stiff at times and mostly cold. Bree's emotions were up and down so much you just never knew what to expect.
I recommend this series, and this author!

Once again another great read by M.S. Parker! As is all her books she draws you in and you can not put her books down. She keeps you guessing as to what is gonna happen next and usually when you get to the end your like what I did not see that coming. I have read all her books and have not been disappointed by any of them. This series is by far my favorite so far. I love Cade and Bree and can't wait to see where there relationship goes. Will they keep there business arrangement or will Cade end up falling for Bree as she is falls by for him... I can not wait for book 4 I believe it will be the best in the series so far. Thanks M.S. Parker for another great read! I highly recommend this series as well as all of Mrs. Parkers books!

I really enjoyed M.S. Parkers casual encounter vol. 3, its seductive, erotic and leaves you craving more as cade continues teaching aubree on how to be confident and seductive so that she will know that she can have any man want her and know she can keep them. Unfortunately aubree is still insecure of herself, but cade won't have it. As she continues playing with cade she thinks she is starting to fall for cade, but she keeps her feelings secret because she doesn't want things with cade to stop. When cade asks her to go away for the weekend she finally puts to use her stuff she had planned to use for her honeymoon. Unfortunately cade has other ideas for their weekend and Aubree is thrown for a loop with Cades plans for her. This was definitely one of my favorites from this series so far.

I have had the pleasure of reading all the series back to back. This is a great series that has you hooked from volume 1 and leaves you wanting more with each volume. There is definite hotness factor in this series so do not worry about that i loved how it was a romance story that had the lead female having to not fall in love. It was a refreshing change, there are plenty of twists and revelations as we go through the series. All i can say is buy this series, yes there are cliff-hangers but i do love cliff-hangers when you are so caught up in the story, and this was certainly the case with this series. Bree and Cade are great characters who have to battle their feelings and the spark between them, the sort of story i love.

Cade Shepard, gigolo and a man of mystery. What has Bree gotten herself into agreeing for him to teach her how to ooze confidence and sex appeal. She and Adelle are trying to mend a life long friendship, and Bree is trying to get over being second best. That comes more to the surface when she confronts both Cade and Adelle wanting to know if he compared the two of them. All along the way Bree is forcing herself not to show Cade that she is beginning to have feelings for him. Afraid if he finds out it will end things. Can Aubree take control of her feelings? Will Cade end things? And what happens when she wants to spli when she's out on the blind date Cade arranged??
