Summary

Violet Winters once had it all but lost it when her husband was murdered by a criminal madman. During a cold winter night Violet has to leave her warm bed to tell her neighbor to turn the music down. And that’s when she meets sinister, scarred, scarily attractive security specialist, Joe Callahan.

She wants to deny it, but Violet can’t beat back the hunger she feels for Joe so she gives in again and again. Feeling it himself, Joe feeds Vi’s hunger, breaking his own rules to keep her in his bed.

Even though Violet had only one man in her life, she’s sure Joe is giving her the signals and Vi decides she’s ready to take a second chance at life and, maybe, love.

Read/Listened for Fun (Kindle/Audible)Overall Rating: 3.50Story Rating: 3.50Character Rating: 3.50Audio Rating: 1.50 (not part of the overall rating)Read It Rate It Thoughts: Freaking love triangles--I hate them and At Peace was a perfect example of why: it kept me from falling in love with Joe and quite frankly Mike was the better guy (not for her--I get that but overall). Even after I read Mike's story (yep already through the entire Burg)--I was still pissed that the whole Violet/Mike thing was brought up. So while after that last book I loved Joe/Violet together, I didn't fall in love with them during their book.Audio ThoughtsNarrated By Olivia Porter / Length: 23 hrs and 9 minsThe narrator changed from the first book and this one was slightly better (as in didn't make me want to chunk my phone across the room) but it was still bad. The narrator changes again in the next one I am really hoping it is better as I get through audiobooks faster cause I can listen while doing other things. Skip the audio on this one--it just wasn't worth it.Part of my Read It, Rate It, File It, DONE! Reviews

So, while I enjoyed this one Cal was a little more over the top with his controlling attitude and it just didn't sit well with me. What was kinda cute in Motorcycle man, felt a little more oppressive in this book. Enjoyable, but not my favorite from this author.
