3.5 out of 5 for this reader folks!Cade by V.A. Dold is the first book in her Le Beau Brothers series, and I have to say overall it was a hit, but there were a couple of misses that stood out.  I did remain engaged in the story however as the couple was so sweet together and I really wanted them to have a HEA.Cade Le Beau is a billionaire shifter ready to find his mate and curses the missed chance he had to meet her.  Well fate steps in and in walks Anna James.  Anna is a full figured woman that has come out of an abusive marriage but still holds the emotional scars.  She is visited in her dreams by the most yummy man that she feels bonded and connected to.  But how can she be so attached to a man that lives only in her dreams?Cade and Anna finally meet in real life and the sparks are instant.  They feel like old souls that have known each other forever and are meant to be together for many many years ahead.  Anna is still fearful as her ex Tim is still threatening her and introducing some nasty guys in her life.  Little does Tim know he is taking on a pack of shifters who are fiercely protective of their mates and their family .... he is about to find out though ... LOLSo the pacing of this book was not to my liking.  I found there was no build up of the relationship, no anticipation and teasing that I crave in my romance books and unfortunately that takes away from the believability of the story.  That being said, I never leave a negative without a positive.  I loved the fierce protectiveness that Cade displayed and the acceptance of Anna by his fellow shifters.  It was like she was meant to be a member of their family and guys embracing another's mate as family is just super sweet in my eyes!  I also like that Anna was a full figured woman .. LOLOverall a series I will continue with.  I am looking forward to reading more about the Le Beau brothers, and seeing V.A. Dold's grow as an author!  If ya have a craving for some smexy shifter's ... check this book out! :)HAPPY READING! :)
