I received a copy in exchange for a honest review, this does not influence my opinion in any shape or form.
What I liked about the series:
I’ve read Southern Perfection and Crashing Tides by Casey and loved them so I was really excited to jump into this series. Full Circles series is definitely different from her other works and that’s what I love the most about Casey’s writing. Each book is different even within the series and yet you still know you are reading a Casey Peeler book.
The Full Circle Series follows Charley Rice. She is the girl with the bubbly personality (you know that one girl who was also in a good mood no matter what and that annoyed you because seriously who wakes up so giddy all the time?), independent, stubborn and fierce. She’s everything a girl should be or should want to be. She’s practically perfect, good student, excellent swimmer and the most gorgeous guy on her arm. Everything is going the way it should until something tragic happens. She leaves her boyfriend Dylan Solan and loses herself in the process she’s not as preppy, she’s not as confident, she quits swimming, she just loses herself (hence the title Losing Charley).
My favorite thing about this series besides Cash was how the titles of each book fit in perfectly with the story and how the title of the series also played a role in each book. We see Charley lose herself in book one, in book two we see herself slowly find herself and in the third book we see her learn to love herself again. We also see how every event that took place in the book came back full circle which seriously was absolutely amazing.
I loved how not only Charley grew as a character but the supporting characters as well. I saw the growth from the first book to the last book and I was amazed to see not only Charley grow but her friends, Cash and even family. Many supporting characters don’t really grow throughout a book or a series but in Full Circle each one really does. I grew to love each and every one of them.
I also loved how the books teach you about forgiveness, that it is okay to lose yourself and to try new things to discover new things, meet new people because who knows it help shape you in the future.
I ABSOLUTELY FELL HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE WITH CASH. I was team Cash since like the prologue so yeah I really grew to love him. Gosh, he is amazing!
What I didn’t like about the series:
Charley in the beginning of the series, I just didn’t like her voice. I don’t know what it was but I just didn’t like her very much the first book and most of the second book but she really did grow on me by the end of the series. Again, I'm not sure what it was about her in the first two books but it took a while for her to grow on me.
The almost love triangle. I seriously thought this whole series was going to be about the love triangle but surprisingly that triangle never actually got to happen. Which I was really grateful for because like I mentioned I was team Cash. Like I said in the beginning of my review, I’ve read Southern Perfection and Crashing Tides by Casey and I usually love all her characters because they’re all amazing. However, she blew me away with Dylan. I hated him. I wanted more of him just so I could really get a feel for the story like see how things happened but I HATED HIM. I was impressed that she could write a guy like Cash and then a guy like Dylan.
After finishing the third book, I was left wanting more. I needed more Cash. I wanted to know what happened to Joe, Piper, Tessa and Dustin even Georgia and Trent. I was invested in everyone’s storyline that I really wanted to just continue reading about them.
Overall
I really enjoyed this series. At the beginning, I wasn't sure I was going to like it but towards the end I ended up wanting to know what happened to every single character in the book. If you do plan on reading this series you're probably going to have to watch Sweet Home Alabama right after because not only are you left wanting more but you are also left with this urge just to sit down eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and watch Sweet Home Alabama. Again, I'm sorry this isn't my typical review but because it is a series review I figured I'd end up ruining the whole series if I did an individual review of the books. So hope you enjoy, if you love a good ol' southern boy than you must meet Cash.

Full Circle
I really LOVE Charley and Cash's friendship/relationship!!! Even though Charley suffer a horrific tragedy from the beginning and haunted her throughout the entire series, Cash will always be there for her!!! ALWAYS!!! Two HUGE thumbs up!!!
(Charley and Cash):
"Cash Montgomery is the most selfless person I know. He puts everyone before himself and I know that he is what is allowing me to survive this situation. I change the subject, we laugh, talk about our days and he pulls me on the dance floor. As the song changes to a slower beat, he pulls me closer and rests his forehead on mine. We don't speak, but volumes are spoken between us, but I also know that Cash won't make the move. He wants me to heal, to find myself in my chaos, but what he doesn't realize is he's the reason I'm not broken."
"Cash, you have been my best friend since we could walk. You know everything about me. I love you more than life itself, but I know that I can't love you the way you need to be loved right now. I have so much to work through on my own."
"Char, you're my best friend. Hell, we've been more than friends since all that sh*t went down. I've loved you my entire life, and now you're telling me you don't want me anymore?"
"I'm not saying I don't want you anymore, but I'm broken, and I have to figure out how to fix myself on my own without help so I can be the Charley I used to be. Can you really say you want a girlfriend who is broken and used?"
"Char, I do. You make me whole. From the first time I looked at you, I knew you were special. You have the most giving and caring heart I have ever seen. You take life by the horns and go with it. You aren't afraid to make a mistake, but yet this is something I can't let you do. You are what makes my heart beat. I love you. No matter what you say, I will always love. now, tomorrow and forever. Whether you like it or not, you are my Char-coal and I'm your Cash Money. We're destined for each other; I just know it!"
"See, Cash, that's just the thing, I USED to be the girl who could be fearless and take by the horns, but I'm not anymore and I want to be that girl again, but I'm afraid I can't figure it out if I always run to you for help. I need to finish this school year on my own."
"Charley, I don't like it, but I understand. Just know that when you are ready, I'll be here for you. Take your time, find that piece of yourself you lost, and when you're ready let me know. I love you."
"Once inside the locker room, we change and head to the pool. That's when I notice it. There is a box in my bag. I open it and find a necklace. It is a silver chain with three charms: an anchor chain, silver heart chain, and a hand stamped dollar symbol on a pea-sized sterling silver circle charm. Inside is a note that reads:
Charcoal,
No matter where you are, I'll be your rock and your anchor. I will help you stay grounded even when I am not physically there. I love you and this will remind you I'm never far away.
<3 $"
"He is my rock. I know the love I have for him runs deeper than any river. I can feel his love moving within my veins. I know that his love gives me strength and I know I can face this challenge. I want prove to him and everyone that I can be the strong, confident Charley I used to be."
"How long have I been knocked out?"
"Um, about thirty minutes."
"Why did you let me do that?"
"You are like my piece of heaven here on Earth. I couldn't stand to wake up my beautiful angel. You looked so peaceful and sweet."
"Tessa and I tell Mama and Dad our plans for the night, and it's time to get ready. I'm ready for a night with my sister, best friend and the love of my life in a field of big trucks and country music. It doesn't get any better than that, and I plan to make it a night none of us forget!"
For this quote you have to know that Charley is love and a bit addicted with the movie Sweet Home Alabama!!!
"The next person to have you will be me on our wedding night. That is a promise I plan to keep. Well, that is if you see it in your future."
"Cash Money, why would you want to marry me for, anyhow?"
"So, I can kiss you anytime I want.”
This is what is written on the inside of the club (below the window and overlooking the pond) that Charley and Cash share!!!
"Char-Coal + $ = 4ever & ever"
Cash gives Charley a promise ring!!!
"Char-coal, you have been my beginning, and you will be my end. You complete me in every possible way, and when all of this comes full circle, just know that we are never ending, just like this circle," he tells me as he embraces the ring on my hand.
Tears build in my eyes. "Cash, I love it, but I'm so scared. What if it doesn't end the way we want it to? What if I end up alone, lonely or never able to rid myself of Dylan? What if I lose you?"
"That won't happen, because I will never let you be lonely. You deserve more. You deserve happiness with a man who worships you regardless of your faults, knows your fears and won't let anything come between you. I am that man. I promise that I will never give up on you, me or us. We will make it, and this is my reminder. Just like your necklace, I'm your anchor that keeps you grounded and makes you complete. I love you, Charley Anne Rice, and I always will.”
"Right then, I fall even more in love with this boy. He has had my heart for as long as I can remember. He's the other half that makes me whole, and I'm glad that the entire world knows."
"I fall asleep in the arms of my knight in a pair of Carhartts and an F250."
"Charley Anne Rice, you have grown into a stubborn, fierce and loving woman that I plan on making my wife one day. You always say I'm your rock and that I saved you, but you save me every day. I'd just be another good ol' country boy, but with you...I'm the good ol' country boy with the strongest country girl by his side, and I'll take that any day."
"You remember the last time I told you bye in a parking lot?"
"I sure do. That was the moment I realized you were my destiny."
"What made you realize that?"
"Cash Money, I could fight us from now until the cows come home, but what's the point? That day when I drove off and back to school, deep down I knew that even if I wanted to be on my own, you would be at the finish line. I love you, and I always have regardless of how stubborn I am. It was just something I had to do. You. Are. My. Forever."
"To my Char-coal,
I know by now you are probably a crying and slobbering mess, and I'm sorry to have made you cry, but those are all the tears you will ever shed over me. This letter is about firsts. I didn't know how to tell you what I really feel about everything going on, so I thought I'd try this.
For starters, you are everything that matters to me. Without you in my life, I serve no purpose. You give me a reason to wake up each morning. Knowing that you are my future is what gets me through the day and through all this mess that's going on now.
I promised you that I would come out on top, and I know that I will. When the judge sees the evidence, my record, and that what I did was to protect you, I know they will be on our side. I know I won't get off completely, but the moment that I can walk out as a free man is the day that I will never leave your side.
Until that day, I want you to live life to the fullest, enjoy the Kluft girls, keep Joe straight, kick ass in the pool, and let your light shine to everyone you meet. You are a one-in-a-million girl, and I can't believe that you are mine from now until eternity. I love you, Charley Anne Rice, and when this is over, I'm never letting you go.
Now, quit sulking, smile that heart-warming smile, and have fun because that's what college is about. I'll see you in two weeks.
Love always and forever and ever,
Your Cash Money."
"Everything's the same."
"Char-coal, everything's the same. Since the first day we met until now, everything has been the same. You and me. You have always been my forever regardless of the trials we have faced. The pond is ours, along with the club, and these memories that will never be tarnished or forgotten. I want to start our forever." He pulls a little black box from his jeans and takes a knee. Opening the box, he asks the question I've been waiting my entire life to hear, "Charley Anne Rice, I've loved you as long as I've understood what it means to love someone. You are my one and only, the one that gives me reason to breathe, and I want to make you wife."
Grinning from ear to ear, I can't help but answer him with one question, "Cash Money, what you wanna marry me for, anyway?"
Shaking his head as he stands, he replies, "So, I can kiss my Char-coal anytime I want." He doesn't wait for an answer, he kisses me with desire, hunger and as if his life depended into his kiss, and then he pulls away abruptly. "I take that's a yes?"
"Yes, Cash Money!" I exclaim and then pull him back to meet my lips. He pulls away one more time. "Don't you wanna see the ring?"
"Cash, I wouldn't care if it came outta bubble gum machine as long as you're the one that gave it to me."
I really LOVE Charley and Cash's friendship/relationship!!! Even though Charley suffer a horrific tragedy from the beginning and haunted her throughout the entire series, Cash will always be there for her!!! ALWAYS!!! Two HUGE thumbs up!!!

Holy Hotness!
No Turning Back (#1)
What the actual hell? Did that just happen? The lying, cheating, biggest piece of scum on the earth!
Sorry about my little rant there, but I seriously DID NOT see that coming, and the cheek of the little B*****d :@
Charley is a college student who thought she bagged a good un' Dylan, yeah he was a player. and a bit of an ass but he was kind to Charley and was willing to wait for her until she was ready to giv' up her "V card"..... Nah ah!
Sorry the story doesn't happen like that things turn sour and Charley has some BIG decisions to make.
Does she stay in her Hometown?
or
Does she leave and start afresh, leaving her loved ones behind.....
Leaving the Oh so gorgeous I could kidnap him, Cash Money *sigh* I want Cash, please can you wrap him up and have him delivered to the UK for Christmas for me pleasssssseeeee :D?
Taking the big jump Charley starts to get her life back on track, she has made some awesome new friends, Georgia and Tori crack me up :)
She's met the most handsome and gently guy whilst at college, Jackelope Joe ;)
This guy is AH-MAZING! He's so protective of Charley and I LOVE the southern/Yankee banter between these two.
I LOVE the fact the Joe and Cash are ok with being non-permanent fixtures in Charlie's life yet, as she's trying to figure herself and her feelings out.
I LOVE how Casey has made these characters feel real, like their part of the real world and she's just picked them up and wrote them in a book. Charlie's your genuine home-grown country girl, she loves hunting, working on her family’s farm, and she’s not afraid to get dirty, NOW that's what I'm talking about.
Things again start to turn sour for Charley, but that's not stopping getting on with her life and her studies, she has the most important people in her life looking out for her
1) Cash
2) Joe
3) Piper
4) Georgia
I was furious with the ending! I don't want to spoil it, but you will feel the same if/when you read this book! Seriously total douche bag moment coming your way!
Finding Charley (#2)
Can I say this - WOW
Cash $ at the end.....total swoonworthy moment.
When you read that scene you will totally know know what I'm talking about.
After finding out the hidden truth of betrayal by one of her most trusted and loving friends Charley has yet again hit rock bottom....all because of some egotistical maniac, that thinks he can get what he wants, when he wants, and clearly can't take no for an answer
Aaarrrggghhhh...seriously douche! Grow the f**k up!
In this book we see a change in Charley, she seems to have gained courage and determination to finally rid herself of her past demons and the one who keeps bringing her down.....Dylan.
We see her love and affection for Cash $ grow, further-while breaking their hearts in the process of bringing Dylan down.
I like how Casey has written the last scene of NTB in the beginning of FC, just to refresh our memories and she totally picks up the storyline from there.
I thought that I couldn't possibly fall any harder for the hot cowboy Cash $....hell I was wrong
I fell hard for Cash and I can't wait to see what happens to their relationship in Loving Charley
Loving Charley (#3)
Oh my fricking lord!
I love Casey Peeler!
This WHOLE series is just absolutely amazing, she couldn't of done a better job.
I love that Peeler has a re-cap chapter in the beginning from FC (Finding Charley) so we can re-cap on the ending of book #2 and have us ready and raring to divulge into the third....
Fuck yeah Cash $, this guy right here.....we need more of him, he's just too damn f*****g cute!!!!
and Dylan gets the beating that he's been missing out on in a looonnnggggg time! Woop de Woop!
Charley is an emotional wreck after publicly humiliating Dylan in front of everyone. She's finally made them see him for what he really is.....an ugly monster.
I've seen Charley progress as a character throughout this series and she continues to grow and proves her strength, when if it would be me.....I'd fall at the first hurdle.....she is a strong and independent woman when she wants to be.
Cash & Charley now face an emotional rollercoaster of event in the up and coming court hearing. What will happen with Dylan?
Will Cash pay for giving Dylan the beating that he truly deserved?
The Kluft girls prove their loyalty and love for Charley time and again, and Charley’s family is willing to do whatever it takes to help her get through one of the toughest times in her life.
The third instalment of this series answers all questions that have led up to this point and incites the reader that there are good ol’ country boys like Cash who want a forever with the girl they love.
If you haven't had the chance to read this series, you definitely should.
No Turning Back (#1)
What the actual hell? Did that just happen? The lying, cheating, biggest piece of scum on the earth!
Sorry about my little rant there, but I seriously DID NOT see that coming, and the cheek of the little B*****d :@
Charley is a college student who thought she bagged a good un' Dylan, yeah he was a player. and a bit of an ass but he was kind to Charley and was willing to wait for her until she was ready to giv' up her "V card"..... Nah ah!
Sorry the story doesn't happen like that things turn sour and Charley has some BIG decisions to make.
Does she stay in her Hometown?
or
Does she leave and start afresh, leaving her loved ones behind.....
Leaving the Oh so gorgeous I could kidnap him, Cash Money *sigh* I want Cash, please can you wrap him up and have him delivered to the UK for Christmas for me pleasssssseeeee :D?
Taking the big jump Charley starts to get her life back on track, she has made some awesome new friends, Georgia and Tori crack me up :)
She's met the most handsome and gently guy whilst at college, Jackelope Joe ;)
This guy is AH-MAZING! He's so protective of Charley and I LOVE the southern/Yankee banter between these two.
I LOVE the fact the Joe and Cash are ok with being non-permanent fixtures in Charlie's life yet, as she's trying to figure herself and her feelings out.
I LOVE how Casey has made these characters feel real, like their part of the real world and she's just picked them up and wrote them in a book. Charlie's your genuine home-grown country girl, she loves hunting, working on her family’s farm, and she’s not afraid to get dirty, NOW that's what I'm talking about.
Things again start to turn sour for Charley, but that's not stopping getting on with her life and her studies, she has the most important people in her life looking out for her
1) Cash
2) Joe
3) Piper
4) Georgia
I was furious with the ending! I don't want to spoil it, but you will feel the same if/when you read this book! Seriously total douche bag moment coming your way!
Finding Charley (#2)
Can I say this - WOW
Cash $ at the end.....total swoonworthy moment.
When you read that scene you will totally know know what I'm talking about.
After finding out the hidden truth of betrayal by one of her most trusted and loving friends Charley has yet again hit rock bottom....all because of some egotistical maniac, that thinks he can get what he wants, when he wants, and clearly can't take no for an answer
Aaarrrggghhhh...seriously douche! Grow the f**k up!
In this book we see a change in Charley, she seems to have gained courage and determination to finally rid herself of her past demons and the one who keeps bringing her down.....Dylan.
We see her love and affection for Cash $ grow, further-while breaking their hearts in the process of bringing Dylan down.
I like how Casey has written the last scene of NTB in the beginning of FC, just to refresh our memories and she totally picks up the storyline from there.

I loved these cute little teen books so much I bought the entire series and read it in a weekend. Coming of age, off to college, can't let go of the male best friend she is destined to be with, Charley learns a lot away from home. It had the typical teen angst, and the heartbreak, but it was a feel-good story. Highly recommend!

A amazing series this series is what got me reading love it so much!

This story was about Charley trying to maintain a normal life as a teenager while trying to grow into an independent woman. With the help of her childhood friend Cash, Charley was able to survive and maintain some semblance of normalcy.
I'm struggling with this topic and the fact Charley so easily brushed it under the rug.
From the beginning I became intolerant of Charley's character. She was selfish by taking advantage of her friendship with Cash. She knew how Cash felt about her yet she continued to string him along.
Charley's character was self absorbed in her appearance. The author did not miss an opportunity to name brands and styles of clothing. Charley's character was a young girl in high school who made a few bad choices and was conflicted with herself by questioning those choices. Charley had only ever wanted to make her parents proud yet had no concerns with lying about her whereabouts at night and breaking curfew. Charley's character was a tease and a flirt with guys.
I felt like the author treated the situation with Dylan like a person falling off a bike. Charley dusted herself off and began living her normal life. Back to partying and back to dating. Always in the back of her mind she feared that bike yet tried to remain courageous even though she never healed from falling off. She had support from her friend Cash and her sister but not enough to eliminate the fear.
As Charley laid in bed with Joe she would send a text to Cash telling him she loved him. I found this behavior despicable. This story had no emotional words to help support Charley's claim of being a rape victim. I'm not sure what the authors motives were for keeping rape a secret while making it appear as Dylan wanting control. I'm baffled by how blasé this author chose to treat a rape victim.
The author spent too much time on the play by play actions of the characters. The author tried to build a fear in Charley's character that was not even present. She introduced characters without a proper transition. Cash's character was called upon by Charley when he had not been developed into the story and yet he had been her best friend since childhood. No mention of this childhood development.
Charley wanted the college experience and wanted to take things slow with Cash. Yet she began dating Joe and began partying again.
The author took a sensitive topic and used it as a means to create a damaged character. Then the author tried to forget the situation by trying to focus on normalcy. While seeking a normal college experience the author thought it was a great idea to find herself without the love and support of her childhood friend. The main character ignored what her ex did to her as if she could remove it from her thoughts by replacing it with normalcy. Then she thought if she learned more about herself she could rise above the poor choices she made. Her first mistake, was not reporting the rape. Allowing Dylan to escape without consequences for his actions caused unnecessary fear. Ignoring his actions created a poor attempt at moving on.

I was one of the lucky people who found Casey Peeler’s Full Circle Series early on. I found it about a year ago. I fell instantly in love with Charley and Cash Money. Cash instantly became my favorite country boy book boyfriend. That boy makes me swoon. LOL.
But since I first found this series Casey has revamped the whole series. New covers, new scenes, and more swoon!! I was one of the lucky few that Casey allowed to read before the release. So here comes my disclaimer lol. I was given The Full Circle Series Box Set in exchange for a honest review.
When Casey first told me she had rewrote the series I about cried. How could she mess with what in my head was perfection??? Would Charley be as kick ass in the new version?? Would my Cash $ be what I want my boys to grow up to be??? How would this new version measure up to the original??? So ladies, I am here to tell you Char-Coal is more bad ass, more inspiring, independent, and more true to herself than she was in the originals. Cash $ is still makes me swoon and want to jump in to the book. Casey took what I loved about her books and made them explode in so many amazing ways. She didn’t take anything away but she added so much.
If you did not have the chance to read the original books DO NOT FRET!! The new books are better, more detailed, more emotional, just more everything. So let me introduce you to this series.
This series starts with Charley (aka Char-coal) being like any other teenage girl. Working hard in school and at home on the farm. Beautiful, funny, popular, and everything most girls want to be, Charley seems to have it all…..until one tragic night when everything she has is taken away from her and she finds she only has one life raft, her best friend Cash.
Through out the series you watch Charley overcome her fears, watch as she grows stronger, and finds her way both with and without Cash. You root for her, you cry with her, but most of all you grow to love her.
Casey Peeler shows you a woman’s worst fear and shows you how one young woman fights back and wins. Casey makes you go through so many emotions. She makes it where you can’t put down the book without grabbing the next. I highly recommend this book to all my friends, my followers, to anyone and everyone.
Just remember one thing!!! Cash Money is mine!!!

This were my first books from Casey Peeler, and I have to say I am completely in love with this series.
This is an of the books good old love story, it is set between high school and college year of out min characters and is good story, good writing, and has some strong ass chicks in it as well as some fine looking country boys, and north guys too.
There are your fair share of really bad boys in this story, that put our main characters, Charley and Cash, to the ringer. Something happens to Charley and she is not talking and she forces Cash not to tell either, but that boy is there for her every step of the way while she gets herself to her true self.
She leaves behind her town to try to find herself at college, danger lurks in the shadows and as she comes back to swimming her healing begins and she decides to fight back as she finds her friends threatened!!! Again Cash is there for her in everything she plans. This two are the ultimate love story. I wont say more, just that you will feel a lot of emotions run through your body once as you read, and that the Kluft girls, you would recognize your most close friends in each of them, I swear that happened to me and will happen to ya'll, They are amazing, true story.
Casey Peeler glad this got to me, I certainly enjoyed them a lot.

***3 ‘Almost a Circle’ STARS***
Although there are parts of this series that I liked – I didn’t love it and what I did like there just wasn’t enough. This certainly is a case of ‘it’s me not you’ as I felt this was clearly a slightly more mature YA series and not NA as it was marketed. This book deals with a serious issue; however, after the first prologue that sets up the heroine’s history I felt like I was reading a cross between Sweet Valley High & Nancy Drew – I didn’t feel the level of maturity and growth I believe the series was aiming for. The characters live a life of condoned underage drinking, being hungover, partying more, going to classes, heavy petting the boyfriend of the hour and shopping – rinse and repeat – the seriousness of the trauma Charley needs to deal with is not fully developed; I felt that caused a large disconnect in the story. I completely understand that storyline is appealing to some; it just was not for me.

This is the third time I've read this series and each time I enjoy it more and more. I am in total love and admiration for Cash- Money. I would love him as my boyfriend!!! This book is a mix of romance and suspense which is wonderful. The two genres are interwoven so brilliantly. Charley is so strong especially when she has her Kluft girls around her. I love that Casey Peeler has given us such a wide range of characters from the main protagonists to Piper, Tessa, and all the girls. This adds such depth to the story. I adore this series please one click it you won't be disappointed. I happily award it 5 stars ~ Rosie

I like o keep my reviews short and sweet so I will start off by saying that I loved this series!! I love the characters and how the book is well written. Each book picks up right were the one before it left off. All of the characters are great! I hope this isn't the last book, would LOVE to read more about them.

This book is LONG and I love it! It deals with sensitive situations and may be had for some to handle, but it was written well. Cash Money and Char-coal are amazing people and reading their journey was amazing!

I really loved this book! Cash Money is the best book boyfriend! The way he takes care of Charley makes me swoon!! This book is full of heartache but there are also a lot of fun, sweet moments that make you forget the bad stuff. I want me some Cash Money!
