Review: Joe/Cal has to be my favorite Kristen Ashley hero

I saw Kristen Ashley has a new Burg book coming out next month.  "The Promise" picks up the story of some of the secondary characters in At Peace so I thought I'd re-read It to refresh my memory.  I'm so glad I did!  I honestly think that Joe sets the standard for all Kristen's Alpha men.  Tragic pasts that will pull at your heart strings for both Joe and Violet, these two were destined to be together from the opening scene.  They are neighbors and start an affair based on sex only but it soon evolves into so much more.  Despite Joe constantly pushing Violet away he just can't help but get drawn into her life and the lives of her delightful teenage daughters and all their antics.  Violet is being pursued by a gangster and Joe and the rest of the hot Burg men rally around to protect her and her girls.  There is the usual suspense and action... tragedy strikes when you least expect it but a fabulous epilogue rounds it all out nicely in the end for a HEA.  Classic KA can be read multiple times and I'll never tire of it.  I can't wait for The Promise to learn Benny and Frankie's story!
