Review: Ashley at her BEST

This was one of the BEST Kristen Ashley books EVER!! If I could give it more stars I would. Truth be told, there were a few places (especially toward the end) where I felt it got a bit side-tracked and long BUT that was a small price to pay for the enduring, powerful, sensual, poignant and emotionally charged story of Joe and Violet. I LOVED the first book in the 'Burg series but this one absolutely knocked me for a loop with its intensity and intricate character development. I laughed, I cried, my stomach knotted, my heart rate rose, god only knows what my blood pressure was and I'm sure my breathing was rapid and shallow as these two wounded souls danced toward and away from each other.I LOVE the way Kristen Ashley writes...and how she THINKS of these stories, these people and these situations is beyond my capacity to imagine. PLUS, I REALLY like that she develops characters who are beyond high school and college...they have met life head on for a while now and have the emotional baggage that adult anguish can bring.  Oh hell, just read it.
