I have to say I loved Three Years Later, so I was very excited to read Seeing Clearly and find out what happens with not only Gretchen and Joel, but also Rachel and Collin! This is a New Adult Romance so while their are some very steamy scenes, it's not too much that it overcrowds the story and plot line. Casey has a very unique way of telling a story and she did not disappoint with her second book in the series. ;)Now, first of all I'd like to say (in case you are thinking the same thing I was thinking when I read the blurb) that I loved Gretchen in the first book (hilarious assistant and friend to Rachel), but I didn't really connect with Joel so I was a little skeptic about him being the lead character. But I'm honest and I can admit when I'm wrong....and let me tell you just how wrong I was to doubt Casey's brilliant mind! She made me love Joel!Joel and Gretchen had some chemistry and attraction going for them in the first book but they denied their true feelings for one another an kept their relationship as friends only. Now of course you had to know this wasn't going to last long with the passion and jealousy that was flaring between these two!Their relationship does develop a little slowly at first but trust me the sparks that ignite are well worth the journey and will have you turning pages faster than you can read! lol. I couldn't put the dang book down and you won't be able to either!I have to say a big part of why I love this book is being able to see Rachel and Collin and how things are working out for them after "Three Years Later" too! God I really loved them! *sigh*Joel and Gretchen will not have a perfect relationship. Their journey will have some road blocks that have the power to ruin their new and fragile relationship. The question is how they choose to address their problems...together or alone? They have such a strong connection it will have you totally engrossed and loving every minute!While you can read this book as a stand-alone, I HIGHLY suggest you read Three Years Later first! I love everything Casey writes and I cannot wait for her next book in the series Second String! Fellow Cajun Girl Casey McMillin will be revealing her cover exclusively on my blog (Jenee's Book Blog). I am truly honored she is allowing me this honor and I'm truly excited for Second String to be released!
