Blog Tour and Giveaway: Temper For You by Genna Rulon

"Life is messy.  Love is messier.” –Catch and Release

Meg Adeio has led a life of isolation—not by choice, by necessity—until one act of heroism forces her out of seclusion. Despite a past shrouded in mystery, Meg is “adopted” by an eclectic group of friends that become the family she never had. Life was good for the first time in…ever.

Or it was until Westly Black reappeared on her doorstep. She knew he was the last man any woman should give her time to—only good for one thing—yet a temptation no woman could deny. Wes might make her life messy, but Meg’s eyes were wide open and she had it under control.  At least she thought she did.

When past and present collide, loyalties are tested, forcing Meg to sacrifice her future to protect those she loves.

 Temper For You is a gripping story of regret, deception, and redemption – filled with raw emotion, sarcastic wit, intrigue, and love’s propensity to forgive.

I am on the fence about Temper For You.  I am not really sure if I liked it or not.  At times I was bored and thinking to myself something needs to happen and like now or I will have to accept defeat and put the book down.  Then when the action finally takes place, I was left wondering what did I just read?  I think my issue with the book was Meg herself.  From the start I felt no connection with her what so ever and even as I read the last words of the book, I still didn’t feel anything for her.  Now before you automatically begin to assume that I hated the book, let me set the record straight.  I didn’t, I just didn’t love it like I did with the first book in this series.

Meg has issues, lord does she have issues and when the reason behind them are revealed you are like okay, I can see how that could mess a person up but at the same time you wonder how stupid she really is.  I won’t spoil it and tell what her secrets are but for this reviewer it in a way ruined it for me.

Wes, now yes he is at times an asshole but he isn’t all that he seems.  I actually really loved Wes and his character once he opened up.  I loved how he had come backs for the smart ass crew and didn’t cower like some would with the past he has with Sam and Griffen.  He really made the book for me.

The rest of the crew played a major part throughout the entire storyline, and while I used to love the Hunterleigh nickname, when adding Grifflo and using it all the time to group the couples in a bad spin off of Bennifer from back in the day it drove me insane.  I loved the back and forth that Hunter and Ev still had between them and Sam’s highly inappropriate comments and commentary and Griffin being Griffin. 

Overall while I didn’t love this book in the series, I liked it enough to want to read the next one when it is released.  It may be an instance of it being an it’s not you it’s me type of thing so please do not let that keep you from reading Temper For You, because Genna Rulon is a very talented writer and one that I enjoy reading.

Blog Tour and Giveaway: Pieces For You (For You #2) by Genna Rulon

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.

Blog Tour and Giveaway: Only For You by Genna Rulon

When a rapist is terrorizing the women of Hensley University, Everleigh “Ev” and her friend Sam attend the self-defense class offered by the university to help protect themselves.  When Everleigh is kicked out by the instructor, Hunter, because of her sarcasm in the first session, she is not only embarrassed but pissed off at the same time.  When Hunter shows up in her classes he is like a bad rash, one that just won’t go away.  The two begin to banter back and forth and eventually a friendship begins.  The problem besides the rapes on campus?  Ev begins to fall in love with Hunter even though he has told her he can only offer friendship right now.  When the attacks continue and get worse, will it bring Ev and Hunter closer or rip them apart?

Everleigh is a smartass of the highest level.  Her comebacks and remarks are so cunning and hilarious at times that you wouldn’t think anyone would be her match.  Ev hasn’t had an easy life, after the death of her mother she has only let a handful of people in, her best friend and roommate Sam being the only one who is the closest to her.  When she decides that her nemesis Hunter needs to be in their group of friends, she quickly turns from hilarious sarcastic bitch to friend.  Her feelings for Hunter continues to grow even though she knows that he has said he doesn’t have time for a relationship with her.  I felt so bad for Ev, when she finally opens up to Hunter, during a time that was extremely emotional for her only for him to throw the I have no time for a relationship excuse in her face yet again.

"We played hot potato with my heart—me throwing it to him, him tossing it back to me. Every time the music stopped, I was always the one holding my bruised organ."

Hunter, the bastard who dared kick Ev out of his self-defense course, is just as funny as Ev is with his comebacks.  He literally is her equal when it comes to smart ass comments or retorts to snarky remarks to him.  He makes it clear from the start that he only has time for a friendship with Ev, nothing more.  The closer they get it seems like they have a relationship that’s beyond friendship but not quite a real relationship either.  He walks away from Ev when she opens her heart to him and he yet again reminds her about not having time for a relationship right now.

When more attacks happen and a very viscous one occurs, as a woman you can feel the terror that they felt knowing that they could be the next victim.  You feel for each one of the victims as if you knew them personally and when you find out more details than anyone should ever want to know about the attacks and those involved you want to castrate the bastard for attacking the victims. 

I loved Everleigh’s character.  She is sarcastic, at times bitchy, but is also a true friend.  She isn’t afraid but at the same time she is.  Hunter is her perfect match.  He takes her sarcastically worded insults and throw his own comebacks without missing a beat.  Watching Ev get frustrated at times was as funny as what she would say to Hunter to begin with.  You watch the relationship that isn’t a relationship grow and you want these two together.  When Hunter once again tells Ev that they can’t have a relationship it is painful because you just know these two are meant for each other.  I will say this, that Hunter is more than what he seems, now take that as you will, it is not necessarily a bad thing, you just have to read it and see for yourself.

When I first started to read Only For You, I will admit I wasn’t sure how I was going to end up liking this book.  If you are looking for a book filled with sex, romance and happily ever after’s for all involved this is not the book for you.  It at times is hilarious but it is also dark due to the rapes of the women.  What this book does include is a friendship that is more than what it seems, secrets, heartbreak, and healing.  When I finished reading it, I realized that I really liked it.  It is a really good book, one that even as typing this has stuck with me days later.  Genna Rulon has written a book that stays with you after you finish, one that shows that not everything is what it seems and those you think you know, you don’t know as well as you think you do.
