In At Peace we meet Joe (Cal) Callahan and Violet Winters. Two people that, from the outside looking in, have no business being together. Both Cal and Vi have experienced unfathomable loss in their lives and that has caused them both to shield themselves from potential hurt (Cal more so than Vi).After losing her husband to a mob boss that has the hots for her, Violet packed up and moved herself and her two teenage daughters from Chicago to The `Burg to escape the sociopath, only to move next door to the sinfully sexy Joe Callahan.Discovering what Vi and Cal had been through was heart wrenching to read and I wasn't sure how Ms. Ashley was ever going to pull those two together. Cal was so guarded against ever falling for another woman again that it seemed almost impossible. But Ms. Ashley knew what she was doing when she wrote Violet Winters. Vi knows what she wants and she refuses to give up on it. Knowing how life can be taken away in the blink of an eye, she sets her sights on Cal and fights tooth and nail for the man she's falling in love with.If you though Kristen Ashley was talented in writing her hero and heroine just wait until you meet Kate and Keira in At Peace. Vi's two daughters were essential to the story of Vi and Cal and these two characters were like a breath of fresh air in the middle of all the chaos Cal and Vi were going through. I'm still not sure who I loved more from this book, Vi and Cal or her daughters.Things in The `Burg are definitely interesting and I can't wait to get back there and see what the crew gets into next.4.5 Stars
