Something That Could Last is the first book in Ashley Cade's Wild Hearts series.
In this book we meet Abby, Tiff, Jacob, and Luke. Abby and Tiff are best friends, they live in a small town, and are trying to figure out their lives. Abby (our main heroine) is working two jobs, attending school, helping out her Grandma, and it's just a lot. Enter Jacob and Luke. These two are escaping reality, and their parents control, to blow off a bit of steam, and enjoy a two week vacation. They never planned on falling for a couple of locals. All it took for Jacob was taking one look at Abby, and he was done for. Luke was immediately taken with Tiff as well when they met later in the day. When the girls aren't working, they are spending time with the guys.
Something That Could Last is really all about Abby and Jacob's relationship. It's instalove, with a little opposites attract action happening. This book is also quite steamy. Oh, and the way it ends, you'll want to have the second book on hand. That's all I'm saying.
I really enjoyed Something That Could Last. It was an easy read without too much drama. I found myself really liking Abby and Tiff. Jacob and Luke seem like nice guys as well, but I will say that Luke is quite full of himself and comes across as a bit too much. Knowing that Abby has to work two jobs in order to pay for her schooling makes her hit a little closer to home. She's relatable in that sense, as most people have to work through college or take out loans. Abby's also been through some rough times, but she has her Grandma and her brother (Ethan) by her side to work through all the emotions/heartache that were caused.
When I started reading the book, I wasn't expecting it to be a two week relationship for our couples, nor was I expecting it to end the way it did. I fully expected more time to pass for the couple, and for them to get their HEA. I figured book two would then focus on Tiff and Luke. But that's not the case. It is looking like the entire Wild Hearts series is all about Abby and Jacob. (which I'm perfectly okay with)

If Ashley Cade is a new-to-you author (she was for me!), then please give the Wild Hearts series a read. The third book, Anything for this Love, releases on May 24.
Thank you for reading my thoughts,
Prestige
Privilege
My life sounds like a dream, but it comes at a price.
Responsibilities and expectations are par for the course as a senator’s son, but I’m beginning to suffocate under their heavy weight.
Looking for an escape, I pack my bags and head to the mountains for a reprieve from the chaos. What I find when I get there? A petite waitress with killer legs and a heart of gold. Abby is my complete opposite in every way, but that doesn’t keep me from falling for her.
I’m not the only one under her spell.
When a scorned admirer resurfaces to exact his revenge, It’s up to me to keep her from falling into his clutches. I have only seconds to act before her fate is sealed and if I fail, I risk losing her forever.
