My New Year’s resolution was to start exercising. I never expected to meet the men of my dreams. Yet now that I’m going to Rocky Mountain Fitness every day? I’m getting sweaty with three of the sexiest guys imaginable. Finn, the jacked personal trainer whose shorts cling to his muscular body so tightly it leaves nothing to the imagination. He stretches me out before each workout and then spots me … each workout and then spots me while I lift weights, gently touching my body to arrange me in just the right position.
Max, the tall, gorgeous spin instructor with a quick wit and sarcastic smile. He finds new ways to raise my pulse and make me sweat–and only some of them take place on a spin machine.
Brody, the handsome gym member with crystal-blue eyes and a body covered with lean muscle, flirts with me every time we cross paths. But we’re competing against each other in the gym’s quarterly points contest, and he has discovered a scintillating new way of distracting me…
My three dedicated athletes find unique ways to send me to bed sore each night.
From harmless hot tub flirting, to very personal training sessions, to long sports massages that soothe my aching muscles.
As our feelings grow more serious, how can I possibly choose between these three amazing men?
Or in the end, will they decide for me?
TRAINED AT THE GYM is a sizzling, stand-alone Reverse Harem love story with enough gym-related action to get your heart racing. HEA guaranteed!

The plot was fun and spicy. I wanted more spice especially with everyone together. That definitely would have made it better.
The characters were all likeable for the most part. Loved Kat and how strong she is. Finn, Max, and Brody were all sexy for sure. Brody at one point was on my NOT list but he quickly redeemed himself.They all had such amazing chemistry.
Overall, not a bad read. Loved that there was actually a plot and not just sex. Even though I would have loved to have had one chapter of all together with much more description.
Loved the bonus scene.
The perks (?) of casual dating is that it can turn into more but when it happens with you and more than one other person? SCORE! Kat’s life threatens to turn upside down multiple times but I like how it all played out. Max, Finn, and Brody are no match against her charms. It’s a fun read with a lot of great detail. The plot twists keep things interesting.
Honestly I had to skip through some parts but it was ended well.
Our heroine is a small business owner with no time for exercise, until she gets a gift membership at a gym. There she meets three very attractive, and interested, men and thinks get rather more interesting.
This is a contemporary reverse harem romance story. The story is well written and easy to read, with well developed characters that each make a unique contribution to the story. I love the way the story and the individual relationships develop and, of course, all the steam that comes with it. The story was fun to read and very enjoyable. I look forward to reading more by this author.
Highly recommended.

Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Once I started I could not put the book down from start to finish you just could not get enough. Kat is a shop owner and received a membership from her brother, that is when she met three gorgeous males dating individually. Does she have to choose one guy or can she have all of them.
Thank you for allowing me to review your book.

She gets a present that just keeps on giving in so many ways
Trained At The Gym is another interesting RH story by Cassie Cole. When Katherine (Kat) receives a gym membership from her brother Darryl for Christmas she has no idea just what a present it will turn out to be………in way more ways than one!!! AT the gym she meets Finn, her trainer, Max, a spin bike instructor, and Brody, another member. When she starts dating each man the question becomes how long can this arrangement go one for? What if they all decide to share and will they get their HEA with that arrangement?
I liked this story as the characters were nicely written and the story-line was well thought out. The big draw back for me was the length of this book as I thought it was excessive given the story as for me it could have been more concise and told with about a hundred pages less. Again, I still enjoyed this Trained at the Gym and found the chemistry between the characters was really nice.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
This is a exceptionally well-written book about a woman that is taking back her life by going to the gym and meeting 3 different exceptional men. These characters are very well constructed and they grow throughout the story. I cannot wait to read more by this Author. A must read

I loved reading this story. I was able to get into the story right away and with the characters so real, it was like these are people that I already know.
Kate has a record store that she runs with one older pot-smoking hippie. The business is doing just fine and has been picking up more business. She has been looking at an empty storefront not far from her location where she could expand what she has to offer. Her brother has gifted her with a year-long, top of the line fitness center that is just down the street from her store. This includes all the private instructions, massages and smoothies you could want. One of the things that help to motivate their customers is a contest on who has done the most fitness/exercise/training for the month. The winner usually receives a top-shelf year-long membership to the club. When she starts with her instructor Finn, she starts to get the bug. Where you get those endorphins flowing and want to do more. As she says her body loses weight and gets toned, she gathered more confidence in herself. She started going every day and she started to get more attraction from the other people around her. Then, when she is about to buy the new storefront property she had her eye on, someone else bought it out from under her at a price out of her range. Then to make matters worse, it is the number one record/cd company in the United States. They will drive her out of business.
Finn is the top personal instructor at the fitness center. He knows the rules, he is not allowed to have a personal relationship of any type with members. If caught, he will be instantly fired. He is so attracted to Kate but he doesn’t know how to handle it without losing his job.
Max is the hot spin instructor who is hot for Kate too. He will do anything to help her in any way, shape or form. He has been in training for ironman competitions nearby so he doesn’t do the fitness center as a serious career. He does it to earn money to tide him over for the months that he has to be in strict training and in competition. It also keeps him in shape. Even though he works for the fitness center, he isn’t afraid to see Kate in any way she will allow.
Brody is another member who is also into Ironman competitions. He has been the reigning champion of the fitness center member’s competition. He doesn’t really tell anyone what his full-time job is, so it is kind of a mystery, especially since he is at the club most of the time. He and Kate get along great and they have no problem with seeing each other. After a couple of months, Kate and Brody are head to head in the competition and it gets down to the wire, both with who will win but also who’s body will give out first.

What starts as a typical New Year’s resolution to become a more healthy and fit person becomes so much more. Rocky Mountain Fitness is the gym chosen to start this journey and what a fantasy ride. To capture one man’s interest and attention is great but what happens when you get three? Finn, Max and Brody all capture Kat’s attention. Will Kat have to choose or is there a slight possibility, she can get them to share her? A great story to go along with the HEA steaminess in this book. Enjoy!

I like that as I read each of Cassie Col’s book she gets better and better with each book. The writing is better, there is more story and also still a lot of steam. This book’s RH was brought about in a different way. For most of the book Kat and her 3 guys are just dating, it’s not until towards the end do they all come together as a Harem. It is fun to watch Kat come into her own. All three men motivate her in different ways. Only thing I didn’t like and that’s cause I’m not a gym rat is the amount of fitness they all do. Then again it is called trained at the gym but it does make me wish I had a tenth of their drive to go to the gym as much as they do. I wouldn’t mind knowing what happens to them in a later book, maybe Cassie will give us a novella with an update.

Kat has brother that is worried about her. He decided her Christmas gift from his and his twin little boys would be a gym membership. Kat own her own record store and never makes time for herself. The gym is within walking distance of her store, so her brother hopes this will motivate her to take care of herself. When Kat meets Brody, Finn, and Max. Her insides turn to mush and she becomes the apple of their eyes. These three men bring so much pleasure and joy to her she starts going to the gym everyday! Missing out on this hot as sin romance will be your loss, so do not miss out on how these four people create a relationship to be jealous of.

Fantastic story.
Oh my word! I loved this book so much I couldn’t put it down. When Kat’s brother gave her a gym membership for Christmas she never thought she’d use it until one day she went in for a look around & after meeting her hot instructer Finn her life changed in a way she could never have dreamed of. This story way had drama, lies, tears, HOT SEX with 3 HOT guys & an ending I didn’t expect.
includes great characters, drama, laugh, and of course those steamy scenes we all expect. I really liked all of the characters and enjoyed their flirty and fun interactions and found myself rooting for them all. There

In this book we meet Katherine Delaney, Brody Forrester, Maxwell “Max” Baker, and Finlay “Finn” Hidjiev. When this book opens we find that after their parents died all Katherine and her brother had was each other. 5 years later Katherine has traded all her dreams to be someone else since their death. She was always and avid athlete until they died and a part of her died with them. So her brother wants part of her old self back and buys her a platinum member ship to the gym right by her store. She isn’t sure she has the time to go but one afternoon she goes there instead of the sandwich shop and she is hooked. The thing is a couple of days later her dreams are shattered again when a big box store that can offer things she never can moves just up the street from her. So she decides rather than wallow this time she is going to the gym. Finn is her new personal trainer that comes with her membership and the first thought that comes to her is he is hot. The she meets Brody who in her age group is the one she seems to be competing against to get the most points. Finally is Max the man is hot in biking short and great to go with it. The thing Katherine worries about is, is she hiding from her problems with these men or is she finding an new coping mechanism? What happens when she finds out that there is more to these men than meets the eye? Will they get a HEA or will it all be for nothing?
This is another amazing hit by this author. It does have its ups and downs I really want to tell you about, and boy do I want to tell you more. However I don’t want to ruin the story for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

This was another steamy book by Cassie Cole, and it makes me want to join a gym club just for the eye candies. I like the plot in this book. I found it has drama, motivation, sexy and steamy scenes, and with a nice HEA. I love all the characters. Each of them are well written, but my favorite was Katherine and Brody. I like Katherine because she was a strong woman and didn’t give up on her dreams. Even though she was betrayed by one of her lovers, she kept fighting. I also like Brody because this character was kind a like a semi-antagonist, but he made things right after all for the love of Katherine. I like Finn and Max character because they were supportive and helpful towards Katherine. I would recommend this book. It has everything that I mention and it very easy to follow. I can’t wait to read another excellent book by this author.
