Cassie #3
Lasting Attraction
Temptation, mistakes, love, and heartbreak- these things have consumed Cassie McKnight's life since starting college almost two years ago. While Avery Manning and Pierce Danielson have consumed her heart.
Cassie finally comes to terms with who and what she wants, but sometimes when we make decisions, life decides something else for us. This time, she is bound and determined to fight for what she wants. For what she deserves. For the one she truly and hopelessly loves. It can only be that simple, when the one she loves, loves her enough to keep fighting as well.
Sometimes in finding your happily ever after, you have to find yourself first. This is a lesson all three learn in Lasting Attraction, the third and final installment to the Cassie series.

Okay so in the first two books ( if you have read them) you know that we face the love triangle between Cassie, Avery and Pierce.... In the first book we see in the beginning the love Cassie and Avery had at such a young age, then we face with a big cliffhanger in the end of Burning Attraction, Avery has been shot and in the hospital... UGH right??? Well in the second one we found out that she still back in fourth but its more harder with everything, and then we find out Avery been hiding and lying something.... So what are we in stored for for the Final Book of the series???? Well all i can say is that Ashley Beale, Author has a lot in stored for us, the hate that you feel, the love, the joy, the scared, and the hurt is so surreal that i am not sure if i was being a part of it or really just reading it. I have never finished a book in THREE HOURS and i did this one. I think that all the shocker, the twist, the FINAL decision that happens, YOU WILL NOT SEE IT COMING!!! This love Triangle finally comes to an end.... Who will Cassie choose??? Will she even choose Pierce of Avery???? What has Ashley done that will blow you away??? And will it feel as tho it is over???? All will be answered in LASTING ATTRACTION!!! That will be releases on Feb 14th 2014 AKA Valentines Day <3 I am just like what do i read next??? If it wasn't for Burning Attraction i would of never knew Ashley and asked her for ARC copy of Through it All, so i owe this series more then just a review i owe it a big THANK YOU for giving me someone so wonderful as Ashley.... Thank you <3 Patricia

If you have been following The Cassie Series then you have been waiting, like the rest of us, to find out how this will all end. And if you haven't, why the hell not?! Ashley Beale has kept us all on our toes wondering what will happen in this love triangle. Will Cassie finally chose between the two men she loves? The two men who love her. Who will she chose?
The past two years have taken this trio on a lot of ups and downs but this final installment will settle all. Cassie McKnight, is living a fantasy to some, she has two incredibly HAWT men who love and adore her. Avery Manning is a sexy, tatted, motorcycle riding, semi-pro fighter who has been in love with Cassie since they were kids. Pierce Danielson, once Avery's fighting rival turned CEO will do anything he can to show Cassie how much he loves her. Without tarnishing my squeaky reputation (can't be that squeaky clean since I'm reading and reviewing smut lol) I swear Ashley has talked to someone about my college years! The realism that Ashley Beale writes with is amazing! I feel like I've lived this book. Which to me is big as I can TRULY see this taking place. Lasting Attraction will make you laugh, cry, and scream. The twists and turns will keep you glued to the book and hooks you from start to finish! Cassie has a very hard decision to make, although I wouldn't mind if my choice was between these two sexy men!! And I won't even get started on the steamy sex scenes. They are down right erotic!! (I do love my smut :-) )
" I rub circles with my thumb and I can feel as Cassie starts going faster with me, wanting it hard and rough. She is being stimulated in three spots at once, and I know she feels the difference. F***, even I feel the difference."
An absolute must read!!
Excerpt
We have so much to discuss and I'm scared. I'm terrified. I'm not sure how to start the conversation. I'm not sure I want to start the conversation. There is so much to discuss, so much more than he realizes. Than anyone realizes. Well, ready or not. I close the door behind me and make my way towards the coffee pot. Once that is brewing and the aroma makes its way around the kitchen, I make my way into my bedroom to dispose of yesterday's clothing and throw on some sweats. I don't think it's appropriate for me to wear normal clothing attire right now, or anything remotely attractive. I'm pretty sure this week I'll be wearing a lot of loose fit clothes, so he doesn't have to be tempted by me in any way. Let's just hope he is wearing clothes, so I won't be tempted by him. I will not give into temptation with him. I will not. I cannot. I won't. There is too much to lose. There is too much to discuss. There has been too much put between us.

After Avery’s hospital stay, Cassie knows what she wants. Making a decision on which man is the right man for her, Cassie plans to move on with her life. However, things can change with something as simple as a look and a touch. Can’t they?
The love triangle is definitely not through. Cassie finds herself drawn to Pierce again. The lies, betrayal, and indecision are back in full force. Maybe there isn’t a right time for Avery and Cassie. Then again, what would a relationship with Pierce be like?
Refusing to cut either man out of her life completely, Cassie finds herself falling back into old habits. Creating a deeper groove in the triad these three have formed. Cassie is determined to fight for the man she wants to spend the rest of her life with. The only question is…..Who will Cassie choose?

From the very first book, I was on the edge of my seat! Same with book 2! Now in the final book, it was the same way! I kept thinking to myself, " Ok, how is this going to end?" I was Not in the even slightest disappointed with this story. Even, with the ups, downs and twists! I loved every single part of it! I was happy with the way it ended! I am happy for all of the characters. I will say that I did tears up a few times bc Ashley just has a way with words that you cant help but feel what you are reading!!I still cannot and will not choose between Avery and Pierce!! they both have a piece of my heart!! It had a bittersweet ending to an amazing series!! Congrats on yet another kickass book Ashley!! Extremely excited to read you future books!

I have really enjoyed reading Lasting Attraction. If you have followed Cassie through her first two years at college, then this book is going to blow you away.
I was never able to completely be a Pierce fan or an Avery fan. I simply loved them both and loved how the author created such different characters, yet they both had the same goal--to love Cassie. I love the way everyone came together in the conclusion of the Cassie series. While I'm sad to see the story end, it's been a delight to see them all grow into adults.
