"In its purest form love is self-sacrificing, eternal, selfless, enduring, truthful, forgiving and indulgent. It also feels an awful lot like a kick to the stomach when you try to fight it " All Everleigh Carsen wanted to do was complete her final semester at Hensley University and begin the life she planned. When a wave of violent crime seizes campus, Everleigh is persuaded by her best friend to attend a school sponsored self-defense seminar, where she meets volunteer instructor, Hunter Charles. After Everleigh's biting sarcasm induces Hunter to eject her from class, an explosive relationship is born. Everleigh is determined to forget the striking man, but fate-that fickle shrew- continuously intervenes. Unable to escape him, she casts Hunter as her prime adversary. The only complication...Hunter is resolutely pursuing his vindication...by any means necessary. Verbal warfare ensues, and despite Everleigh's ingenious efforts, in Hunter, she has finally found her equal. Only For You is a compelling tale of friendship, desire, and redemption-brimming with witty characters, intelligent dialogue, unexpected twists, profound sorrow, unfettered hope, and love's unassailable perseverance. - This story is appropriate for readers 18+ - Only For You is the first book in the For You series by Genna Rulon. Each book in the series can be read as a stand alone novel. Quotes from Only For You: "When someone tells you something about themselves you don't want to hear-believe them." "You're going to listen to me, and for once you're going to hear what I say and not read between lines that aren't there." "I was a fool, alone, preparing to do what every fool did at such times-I was going to a bar to drink myself smart." "He had a skull and crossbones label on him, but I drank his poison nevertheless and loved it; now I needed an antidote." "You'll continue to be a bitch no matter what, but I'm glad you aren't a callous, self-absorbed one." Visit Genna online for free excerpts, giveaways, and fun facts: www.gennarulon.com(less)… (meer)

I did not expect to like it quite so much.
But I did.
Even though I'm not that keen on this genre. ( )

Absolutely Amazing... This Story consumed me for the last 24hrs and I would recommend it to EVERYONE!!!

This is Genna’s debut novel and let me just say she has a new follower and a fan to her writing for life. For a debut novel this story is truly awesome.

All Everleigh Carsen wanted to do was complete her final semester at Hensley University and begin the life she carefully planned.

When a wave of violent crimes seizes the campus Everleigh is encouraged by her best friend to attend a school sponsored self-defense seminar. This is where she meets Hunter Charles. After Everleigh’s biting sarcasm induces Hunter to eject her from class, a tempestuous relationship is born.

Eveleigh is determined to forget the handsome Hunter but fate has other plans and it seems that they are always running into each other, or is this Hunter’s plan?

This story gripped me right from the first page. Genna did an amazing job of pulling me in from the start and she writes one hell of a page turner.

The banter between Everleigh and Hunter was fun. I truly enjoyed every minute of it.

Sam her best friend she made me laugh so many times, she made me cry also. I definitely wish I had a best friend like her. She ROCKS !!!!!!

The story follows the attacks going on on campus and the girls doing everything they can to stay safe themselves. There is mystery, suspense, humor, love, and some strong emotions shown in this story. The whodunit has you wondering for some time and really made me wonder a time or two if who I thought it was, was right or not.

I loved Hunter. He, even though she did not know it sometimes always made sure that Everleigh was looked out for. He promised to never lie to her, but at the same time would not commit to her, and while this ticked me off at first once I read more I understood why he could not commit. So prepare to get frustrated with Hunter, but know that in the end he has reasons for what he does.

Only For You is a compelling tale of friendship, desire, and redemption—brimming with intelligent characters, witty dialogue, unexpected twists, profound sorrow, unfettered hope, and love’s unassailable perseverance.

I definitely will be patiently waiting (NOT) for the next book in this series Pieces for You !!!!!!

Some of my favorite quotes from the story

“I need you. You are not temporary.”



“It was amazing. Earth shattering, mind blowing, it was everything. I'm hopelessly in love with him and destined to be destroyed in the near future.”


“There is no man more perfect for me, no one I'd rather spend my life with, no one I will ever want more. But I need someone who wants me equally in return. I love you with every ounce that I am, down to the smallest molecule of my being, but that isn't enough if you won't reciprocate.”


“I would do anything for you... anything. The only thing I can't do is pretend I'm not in love with you. I have given you everything you would accept, but I can't make you love me. I can't create feelings that are not there. Can you imagine what it's like to want something so desperately and know you can never have?”


“You’re going to listen to me, and for once you’re going to hear what I say and not read between lines that aren’t there.”

“Sir, you are no gentleman.”
“And you, Miss, are no lady.”

Holy Moly this was a fabulous read!
The banter between Ev & Hunter is hilarious. The underlining threat at the college keeps you on your toes at every turn. Ev lays her feelings on the line to Hunter but Hunter can't come clean to her leaving not only Ev heart broken by myself as well. Only a few hot sex scenes but enough sexual tension to keep your juices flowing. Ev & Hunter's story is not the only story told, there's a great deal about Ev's best friend Sam. Sam's story will continue in "Pieces of You" coming out 12/1/13.

Quotes:

"The world is not full of assholes. But, they are strategically placed so that you'll come across one every day."

"Don't even pretend you don't see the price cut of meat. I'm quitting food and becoming a manivore." ( )
