Loving Charley
(Full Circle #3)
by
Casey Peeler

~ Synopsis ~

When Charley decides to make Dylan famous, she never thought about the repercussions that might occur, and how it would affect everyone around her.

Now that she has followed through with the plan, she is unsure of what the future holds. She has to decide what is more important in life: living her dream, speaking the truth, or keeping quiet.

Charley’s life comes full circle when her freshman year comes to an end. Will Dylan be in her past and Cash in her future? Or will Dylan continue to be an eerie constant in her life?

~ Excerpt ~

I hear the first whisper as I pick up my bag to exit the locker room. “You know that’s the girl that got Dylan in trouble.” Closing my eyes, I try to force back the tears and control my emotions. They will not get the best of me.

When I walk past them, they stop talking. I stop and look at them and give them a dose of their own medicine. “Yeah, I am that girl. Got anything else you wanna know?” I say with my bag tossed over my shoulder and my arms crossed.

“We didn’t say anything,” one girl states with an eye roll.

“That’s what I thought.” I make my way back to the stands, placing my bag down and walking toward the pool. Tori and Georgia must see the heat rising in my face because they ask me what the hell just happened as soon as I meet them.

“Some Davidson bitches we’re running their traps already. So, I just asked if they had any more questions.”

Georgia laughs. “They are so in for it! Charley’s gonna kick their ass today in the water.”

“Damn right, I am,” I say as I dip my cap into the pool, place it on my head and add my goggles. It’s time to give them another reason to talk about Charley Anne Rice.

~ Review ~
I can't believe we have come "Full Circle" already! It seems like it was just yesterday I was picking up the debut novel No Turning Back and here we are at book 3. Loving Charley was everything I hoped it would be and then some.

I have been a fan of Char-coal and Cash $ since the first book and my love for them has grown with their story. Loving Charley picks up right where Finding Charley left off. Cash giving Dylan a bit of what he deserved for all he has done to Charley. But will this be the end of it or just the beginning of more turmoil.

"Char-coal + Cash $ = Forever"

With the consequences of both Dylan's and Cash's actions hanging in the balance, Charley heads back to school to finish out the semester and attend the final swim meet. As she expects she is met with snide remarks and sideways glances but she holds her head high with the help of the Kluft girls and the support of Joe and Piper.

The connection amongst these friends is strong and and un-waivering. I truly enjoyed the banter between the girls and the budding romance between Piper and Joe. Jackalope Joe was not the person I ever wanted Charley to end up with but I was happy to see him find his happy ever after too.

I love that we end the series on a high note, with the love of Charley and Cash finally having its chance to just be. Their love for one another so apparent as the push to take their relationship to the next level. All of the drama has finally been resolved and I finished the book with a smile on my face and my heart.

"Char-coal, you better watch it if you know what's good for ya."
"You sure you know what's good for me?"
"I'm just sayin' with you doin' stuff like that, I might get pushed to my limit on what I can say no to."
"Well, then I hope I make you break."

If you haven't had the chance to read this series, you definitely should. You can grab No Turning Back for FREE. I will be looking forward to what ever Casey Peeler has planned next for us readers.
