LEANN'S REVIEW: Temper for You (Genna Rulon) For you #3




Temper For You
For You Series, book #3
By Genna Rulon


Synopsis:

"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.


• Though Temper For You is a part of the For You Series, it can be read as a stand alone
• This story is appropriate for readers 18+









Excerpt:

“Megalicious, get your butt down here and have some dinner with us,” Sam called from downstairs.
After unburying myself from a mountain of books, I headed to the kitchen. Griffin was unloading an insane amount of Chinese food on the table while Sam brought over the drinks.
“I see you guys decided to order one of everything on the menu,” I laughed, only partially kidding.
“He’s a growing boy,” Sam teased while patting Griffin’s stomach.  “Plus, he needs to build up his energy…I have big plans for him,” she finished with a salacious grin directed at her man.
Griffin swatted her tush playfully in response.  “Your plans for me involve rearranging all the furniture in your bedroom, and not in the way I’d prefer.  Food may be the deposit, but that smile better be hinting at settling the remaining balance in more enjoyable ways.”
“We’ll see how much you complain about the rearranging, then I’ll make my decision on any tips,” Sam said.
“Lo, please…you can’t resist me,” he said with utter confidence.  “But don’t worry, I can’t resist you either—never could.”
I loved seeing them like this.  Sam had overcome more obstacles than any single person should ever have to face.  Life may have broken her, but she pulled herself back together— with the help of Griffin—and was stronger now than ever before.  She was the person I wished I could be: pure and brave, she was goodness personified.   I may be three years older than Sam, but I looked up to her, despite the fact that she regularly embarrassed me with her lack of filter and inappropriate over-shares.  Sam was Sam, and in her own way she was looking out for me.  She’d found her happily ever after, and now she was on a mission to find mine …even if she had to cram it down my throat.  I loved her for caring though.
Griffin captured my attention with a nudge and stage whispered, “How much you want to bet that after rearranging the furniture three times, she’ll decide to put it back in the original spots?”
“I’ll bet you five dollars you can distract her and never wind up lifting a bulging bicep,” I countered at full volume.
Sam’s eyes narrowed at Griffin.
“Dammit, Meg.  Stop foiling my evil schemes.  Now she’s onto me.”



Review:

I have waited very patiently (that's a complete lie, I'm not patient ) for this book! To say I loved the first two in the series would be an understatement. I was so excited when I found out Meg was getting her own book. I couldn't wait to find out her past and who the new sexy man Rulon would introduce us to. Let's just say I was really excited about the latter. Hunter and Griffin, Her two very sexy leading men in books one and two, were going to be tough shoes to fill.

Rulon did not disappoint. I love that about her writing style. Her characters are larger than life and the humor and wit have you rolling with laughter. Coming from a family who only speaks one language.. Sarcasm, I can truly relate and enjoy this humor. The plot in this read caught me by complete surprise. I won't give anything away, but I was not expecting that. I completely had my mind on a different history of hiding. Good one Rulon. I love when an author catches me off guard (trust me its hard to do.) 

This is the third book in the series and I highly recommend you read the first two before jumping into this one. Not only are the first two killer reads, but this book will give spoilers away. Another thing I love about Rulon. While we get two new leads and story lines, we also get to fall back in love with our favorite characters from previous books. Wonderful read!
