Warning: While this can be read as a standalone you
will understand more if you read Only For You first. It also deals with the topic of rape so
please be aware.
Sam has suffered something that no woman should ever have to
suffer, to make a horrible event even more horrific someone she loved could
have prevented it but didn’t. Sam has
shut down during her time to heal but is now beginning to become herself, a
damaged but healing self once more.
Between the love from her best friend Ever, Hunter and their friend
Griffin she is finally able to slowly live life once more.
Griffin has wanted Sam since the first time he ever saw her
and was heartbroken when he found out what she went through. He let his inactions before allow her to slip
through his fingers but it will not happen again if he has anything to say
about it. He knows that he has to be
cautious and patient with Sam but when threats against her begin he will be
damned if she ever is hurt again. The
only problem? Sam thinks she can handle
everything herself.
Sam needed to heal and her going away allowed her to do
that. When she returns home she knows
that she has Ever and Hunter there to help her and be there for her to finish
healing from the nightmare that she suffered.
Slowly the old Sam begins to emerge and when she does it’s almost like
she yells out “I am back bitches” but she will never be the same person she was
before the attack happened.
Griffin knew that he had to take his time with Sam and not
only earn her trust but her heart as well.
I love the nickname he gives her because you find out it means more than
what you are originally allowed to believe and it made me fall head over heels
in love with Griffin. He takes some
matters into his own hands and while his actions were not the “right” thing to
do it needed to be done and he handled it perfectly. He
was going to protect his girl and that’s what he does even when Sam makes him
want to choke her himself when she acts like she does not need his help.
Sam at times really annoyed me because of how she acted and
while I understand that victims process their healing and move on in their own
way it was at times unbelievable the way she acted. Maybe she just rubbed me the wrong way in
this book because in Only For You I
loved her character. Griffin, I can only
praise Griffin’s character and will say that he is one of my favorite new book
boyfriends. For me, he is what made me
rate this book 4 stars, if he wasn’t the way he way I will be honest and say I
probably would not have liked this book as much as I did.
Genna Rulon has written a topic that is one that is painful
for too many survivors, but she has shown that with the right love whether it
be from friends or the person who would love you unconditionally, that it is
okay to heal and not let it define who you are.
As with Only For You, Pieces For You is not a typical romance
by any means, it at times is painful to read due to the emotions surrounding
this topic. It is not only a book about
being a survivor but friendship, love and not letting that person who hurt you
win by living your life the way you want too and still being able to have your
happily ever after. I am anxiously
awaiting to see where Ms. Rulon will take us in the next book of this series.
