Review: Another hit!
Rating: 4 out of 5

I'm slowly making my way through Kristen's books. This one is another good read with another alpha male hero Joe/Cal. Due to stuff that happened in his past, Cal is emotionally cut off. His new next door neighbour Violet and her daughters change all that.Violet is a widow with two teenage daughters, Kate and Keira. These two shine out in this book. I must say, Kristen does write children/teenagers very well.Joe and Violet embark on a sexual relationship which I found a bit seedy to start with (which is why I only gave this 4 stars) and Joe hurts Violet twice yet she gives into him again at the drop of a hat.Violet's husband who was a cop was murdered and his killer has a fascination with Violet. Once Joe is aware of this and things start to happen in Violet's life connected to the killer, Joe has a complete turnaround and realises how important Violet and her daughters are to him. From that moment on, Joe had me hooked!I love how Kristen's heroes love their women and take care of them.I'm glad to read that Kristen has plans to write Benny (Joe's cousin) and Francesca's story which starts in this book.
