Publisher's 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. But Violet doesn't know the dark secrets in Joe's past, secrets so soul-wrenching, they've drained him dry. With nothing left to give, Joe's determined to live his life alone and he breaks Violet's heart. Crushed by Joe's betrayal, Violet comes to terms with the fact that, no matter what signals he gave, Joe was not theirs to win. But Violet's husband's murderer is obsessed with her and heartbreak again haunts the door of the Winters home. When it does Joe is forced to face the knowledge that he can't fight Violet's pull, she's under his skin and filled him full to bursting. Joe needs to win her back and put his life on the line to keep Violet safe. But, having had it all once, can Violet endure losing Joe?

One of KA's best - the Worst Narrator
Is there anything you would change about this book?
The story is perfect, but the narration was truly awful. The narrator had a flat voice, there was no distinction between characters and strange pauses. She also made Ashley's awesome sex scenes incredibly boring.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Olivia Porter?
Any of the narrators from her other series.
Any additional comments?
This is one of my top 5 stories from Kristen. I was so happy when the series came out and couldn't wait to listen to Joe and Violet's story. I am so disappointed because a bad narrator ruins even the best book. I'll just go ahead and re-read the actual book.

Good story, terrible narrator
Would you listen to At Peace again? Why?
No, Could barely finish it the first time. Would have enjoy reading the book much better.
What didn’t you like about Olivia Porter’s performance?
Usually try to be nice but I cringed a lot. Narrator just read words at times and was not engaged in the moment.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Enjoyed book but not audible.

Horrible Narrator
What did you like best about At Peace? What did you like least?
I initially liked this story the first time I read it but...I was struggling to listen to the audio
Any additional comments?
I am not sure if I just didn't notice to begin with but...the narrator starts almost every sentence with a loud inhale and it is beyond annoying. I also hear her smacking her mouth too and it started to make me crazy around chapter 7. Did they not give her any breaks or what?

Loved it!
Violet lost her husband and father of her two daughters a year and a half ago when he was shot by a criminal madman in the line of duty. She has left Chicago and moved with her daughters to "the Burg" in Indiana to try and move on with her life. She meets her neighbor Joe when she has to go over in the middle of the night to ask him to turn down his music. Joe is a big intimidating security specialist who intrigues Violet even as she fears him a little. Joe is definitely attracted to his neighbor and soon they are both giving in to their physical attraction to one another. Joe's past has left him void of many emotions and with strict rules about relationships. He pushes Violet away, but can't deny that she and her daughter are getting under his skin, a feat no one has accomplished for over 17 years.
I am a Kristen Ashley fan, and one of the things I love about her is that after every book of hers I read (or listen to) I'm sure I'll never like another book of hers more. I loved the first book in this series, and had my usual reluctance going in hoping that I would like this one as much as "For You". I loved this book even more than I thought I would. Violet was an easy character to care about immediately. I was connected to her right away and stayed engaged throughout. She is someone who has faced the kinds of loss that would easily cause other people to be crippled by grief or bitter and angry. Violet has definitely grieved the loss of her husband, but she has done her best to find joy in the life she creates for her daughters. She is kind and loving, and it was each to cheer her on. Joe was a very intriguing character. We know he has a past that caused him to build an emotional wall and alter his life and future plans. Getting to know Joe slowly as we learn more and more about his life was something that kept me hooked into the story. The physical chemistry between Joe and Violet is off the charts!
The peripheral characters in this story (as with all Ashley books I've read) are important and wonderful in their own right. In addition to the main characters, we get to know families and friends, and neighbors. We get to feel that we are part of this town and invested in its residents.
I experienced a wide range of emotions throughout the duration of this book, and anytime an author can get me feeling along with the characters, or just having strong feelings about what I want to happen, I am thrilled. Another thing I appreciate about this book in the length and pacing. We really have enough time to get to know everyone and are all the more invested as the events of the story unfold. I adore this author, I adore this series, and I can't wait to continue the journey.
I found the narration to be unobtrusive (which is a compliment). At no point was I taken out of the story or distracted by the narrator.

I'm loving this series. The suspense is great and the romance is perfect. I love the perfect balance between the too. Joe is a great character, He is bossy and protective but he has demons and that really make his not so sweet side understandable. Vi is a strong women who has been through a lot and is still pushing forward for her girls. She is a great mom but she is also a women with a serious attraction to the guy next door. Their relationship is off the charts hot and so sweet too! Great story line and loved that we still get some of the characters from book 1.
Narration was great.

Is there anything you would change about this book?
A different narrator would be good. This one stumbles, stammers and sounds bored.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
most of the time she sounds bored. sometimes she stumbles and stammers. she's obviously uncomfortable with the sex scenes. not a good match for this author.

Wonderful book-Awful audiobook
At Peace is in my top five favorite Kristen Ashley books so it pains me to say this audiobook was so bad I actually made my first return to Audible. The narrator showed next to no change in voice between characters; it was almost impossible to tell the difference between the characters. Joe, wonderful, amazing, HOT Joe, should not have sounded the same as Violet's 14 year old daughter. Ick. I made myself listen long enough to hear 7 different characters voices and honestly, had I not already read the book several times and been very familiar with what was supposed to be happening, I would not have had a clue as to who was speaking. Advice: Read the book. The story is beautiful, sexy, funny, suspenseful, everything Kristen Ashley does so well. Do NOT listen to this book.

Kristen Ashley is playing with my emotions!
This book was so good that I couldn't even keep my emotions out of it. Loved the characters, but I will be honest I wanted to strangle Violet in the beginning because I thought she should guard her heart more but then again she is meant to be as sweet as pie. Joe really upset me in the beginning but as always KA made sure he got his head together. Loved the Winter girls. The family love in this book was EVERYTHING! Loved it! Loved it so much I think I need to be on a beach with a glass of wine to read it again without getting heart palpitations. This story will upset, irritate and make you laugh and cry and it will be worth it.

Great story, some production issues
Favourite book of this series and the narrator has a great voice. Unfortunately, like the previous book on the serious you can hear a lot of random pauses and swallowing. I was still able to listen to it all and enjoyed it, but these were a little off putting. Not to critique the narrator however who has an excellent voice.

Excellent - mostly!
This is one of my all-time favourite kindle books, but I did not enjoy the audio version quite so much, probably because with kindle I tend to skim over bits I don’t like!
This book is still an excellent five star read - just a few parts I would rather avoid: The whole mafia/family angle was an overdone stereotypical cliché. Also overdone is a lot of focus on a couple who get their own book later, with an unappealing “H”, who treats his casual sex partner like disposable trash, and treats his future “h” in a similar fashion.
I was also a little uncomfortable with the whole Mike/Cal/Vi love triangle. I appreciate that she was genuinely torn between two very different men, but to date one, spend that night in bed with the other, but then keep dating the former, was a little difficult to stomach. I also found her TSTL actions in the last chapters illogical - she had coped with so much in her life, but suddenly seemed to lose the ability to think rationally and does some really stupid stuff – would she really run out of the house in a t-shirt upon hearing her boyfriend was captured? Not even pause to phone her cop neighbour, use her personal alarm to notify someone, or even put on shoes and grab a coat? Later on, she only actually escaped because another woman was there to guide her - and then only because the bad guy put them in a ground floor room with an unlocked window (seriously?).
For all my criticisms, this is an excellent book, but it is very long and I really think it would be better with deleting some of the superfluous chapters and just focusing on the main characters, particularly in the final chapters, where the climax of the story is observed mainly thru the POV of side characters, and left me feeling I had missed out on what the H and H themselves actually endured.

Perfectly balanced
I really enjoyed this book. I did not want it to end. Emotionally charged, often leaving me conflicted. I gave to agree that this is probably my favourite Kristen Ashley. What a world she weaves. I want to go back and remind myself where some of the characters have crossed over from other series. Highly recommended if you want a story that you can immerse yourself in.

Horrendous narrator spoils the book
I’m not sure whether the narrator thought she was reading an encyclopaedia or just couldn’t be bothered to put any effort in. The performance was just horrendous. She sounded bored most of the time and at times it was just bizarre. Phrases where the characters actually stated that they were whispering or shouting were all read in the same monotonous tone. She made absolutely no effort whatsoever to distinguish between characters, so much so that you couldn’t tell who was supposed to be speaking. Even supposedly tough cops or gangsters all sounded girly. It was such a shame as the plot was, as with almost all KA’s books, really good. What a relief that the next book in the series is read by a different narrator!

Violet can come across as dense
Violet goes from being a strong character, so frustratingly dense one! Great performance by Olivia Porter!

Enjoyable
At Peace is an easy listening and enjoyable book. I started with the Colorado Mountain series and enjoyed them so it's nice to be able to move onto another series that I know I'll enjoy. In all of Kristen Ashley books, there is a reoccurring theme of violence and heartbreak but I think she writes it well enough to not be too dull. I personally found the narrator quite tolerable, although I can understand why previous reviews have said they can't stand her. She does tend to pause in odd places and you can hear the breath's exaggerated but after listening to the appalling job Kate Russell did for the Dream Man series, Olivia Porter is excellent. The only problem I had with this book were the nicknames. Joe calling Violet 'Buddy' feels wrong and very unsexy, especially with the amount of sex scenes written. I will relisten without hesitation.
