Violet and her two daughters, Kate and Kiera have just moved from Chicago to a small town in Indiana. Although it's only 4 hours away, it's a world away from the gangster, Daniel Hart, who killed "Tim"; Violet's husband and father to their two teenage daughters. Now, they're on their own but Hart isn't finished with "Vi" (who caught his eye early on.) Now, he wants her for himself and he sets out to find her.Joe "Cal" Callahan lives next door to Vi, Kate and Kiera. He's got his own issues and wants no part of a serious relationship. He's tried that, didn't work, he moved on. Cal's a rugged, tall, and handsome man and when an estranged girlfriend breaks into his house before he arrives and blasts classic rock non-stop; by at 2am, Vi's had enough and tromps over to put an end to it. Vi and Joe arrive about the same time, and Joe lets the woman have it, but not before noticing Vi for himself.Kristen Ashley is fast becoming one of my favorite authors! Her stories suck you in and keep you interested...even when you should be cleaning, cooking or paying attention to your dog, who REALLY needs to go "potty"...STAT!! I will say I thought the book didn't need to be quite so long: (1,400 pages according to my Nook.) However, since it seriously kept my interest, I constantly tried to get back to it as often as possible! The story was great, the character development was even better and you KNEW how they felt and what they wanted. Which was NICE! Sometimes, Ashley's descriptions were exhausting and unnecessary, although, I knew that going into this book since I had just finished her long but great book, Sommersgate House.This was an exciting story, with fantastic humor, serious gangster action and smoking hot sex! Now you know why I couldn't put it down! Loved it!!
