Violet Winters once had it all but lost it when her husband was murdered by a criminal madman. During a cold winter night Violet has to leave her warm bed to tell her neighbor to turn the music down. And that's when she meets sinister, scarred, scarily attractive security specialist, Joe Callahan. She wants to deny it, but Violet can't beat back the hunger she feels for Joe so she gives in again and again. Feeling it himself, Joe feeds Vi's hunger, breaking his own rules to keep her in his bed. Even though Violet had only one man in her life, she's sure Joe is giving her the signals and Vi decides she's ready to take a second chance at life and, maybe, love. But Violet doesn't know the dark secrets in Joe's past, secrets so soul-wrenching, they've drained him dry. With nothing left to give, Joe's determined to live his life alone and he breaks Violet's heart. Crushed by Joe's betrayal, Violet comes to terms with the fact that, no matter what signals he gave, Joe was not theirs to win. But Violet's husband's murderer is obsessed with her and heartbreak again haunts the door of the Winters home. When it does Joe is forced to face the knowledge that he can't fight Violet's pull, she's under his skin and filled him full to bursting. Joe needs to win her back and put his life on the line to keep Violet safe. But, having had it all once, can Violet endure losing Joe?

I‘ll admit I struggled with Joe in this book. I get he had a history that made him fear relationships, but he was such a jerk so many times and Vi had already gone through so much. I also struggled with the Mike angle of the book.

This was still a great story, Ashley rocks contemporary romance all the time, but this definitely wasn‘t one of my favorites.

It's KA, what is not to love!? Holy hell, was this book full of angst, crazy high suspense, nail biting scenes, and wonderful tender and sweet moments. Even when I wasn't loving Joe, I was loving every second of this ride. The 'Burg series is easily becoming my favorite KA series!

EloisaJames I really love this one too! 8y
Pinkmeghan I'm working my way through KA's backlist and loving every second of it! I realized the other night I'm halfway through and what am I going to do when I finish?!?!? 😭 8y
BooksPieAndCoffee @Pinkmeghan me too! I've been doing that for the past few years slowly! Very slowly! 😂😂 8y

BooksPieAndCoffee @EloisaJames I just enjoyed the crap out of it! Isn't she great? 😊 8y
EloisaJames @BooksPieAndCoffee @Pinkmeghan the sad thing is that I finished her backlist--some of my favorite romances are in there. The newer ones arent working for me quite as well. 8y
Pinkmeghan @BooksPieAndCoffee @EloisaJames I think once I'm done I'll start re-reading my favorites! 8y
BooksPieAndCoffee @EloisaJames I've heard the same. I'm hoping that her Honey series out next year will maybe bring her back to her old KA style. 8y

Joe is a tough, alpha male with a sweet, soft side. He's had a tough life and has closed himself off to emotions and people, until he meets Violet and her two girls. This story is filled with humor, suspense and interesting characters. I enjoyed all the banter and there were many lines that made me laugh-out-loud. Kristen Ashley, you are my favorite author!
