Title: Temper For You
Series: For You #3
Author: Genna Rulon
Release Date: September 24, 2014
Rating: 3.5 stars
Cliffhanger:. No
HEA:






Meg is very secretive person. She doesn’t open up to people easily. Most of her past is tragic and painful and her friends don’t know much about it. Meg doesn’t talk about it. She feels she’s not good enough person to be friends with Hunter, Everleigh, Sam and Griffin. That’s why Meg hides her gritty past and hurts in silence. She also cannot forget about a man who made her heart beat faster and forget all about the hurt.




Westly is a successful lawyer; he’s a man who always wins and gets what he wants, the way he wants it. No questions asked. Now, he set his eyes on beautiful Meg. But Meg seems not to be able to forgive him for being a ‘douchebag lawyer’ who wanted to hurt her friend.

So now, Wes wants to show Meg that he’s more than a money obsessed jerk and finally have her in his bed.





Temper For You is third book in Genna Rulon’s series, that captivated me some time ago. I was overexcited when the time to read Meg and Westly’s story came around. I loved the previous books in For You series and I hoped I would feel the same with the newest addition to it.

And yes, Genna Rulon done a good job; Meg and Wes were perfect, engaging couple and I had fun while reading about their relationship. However, I can’t say I completely loved this book; there was something missing, I don’t know what exactly, but I just couldn’t fell in love with this book as much as I have with Hunter and Everleigh or Sam and Griffin’s. Still, Rulon’s book is full of everything I appreciate in romance; steamy scenes, great banter and some drama.

Overall, Temper For You is a decent read. It’s quick, it’s funny and sweet and the characters are very nice. The witty banter between main characters was awesome, sex was Hot and the additional suspense kept me on my toes. And although it wasn’t exactly a five star read for me, I had fun and I cannot wait for more!

I LOVE this series and I LOVE Genna and her writing skills…. This is the 3rd book in the For You series. We have met both Meg and Wes in previous books in the series. This is finally their story.



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.



Meg is hiding secrets. Even from her friends. They know she has something she is hiding but none of them have pushed her thus far to find out what she is hiding. Secrets that she believes are full of filth and she refuses to share them with anyone. She keeps her past from everyone around her. She feels unworthy because of her past.

“I am an apple, like in Snow White. I’m poison, ruined…rotten! The evil king dipped me in his cauldron of filth and contaminated me. Now everyone that comes near me is in danger of being infected-or worse, killed.”



That is until Westly Black shows up on her doorstep. Wes has moved in next door and needs the phone number to the Maintenance office. When he knocks on his neighbor’s door he is shocked and surprised to find Meg on the other side of the door. Meg is not happy to see Wes and She is pretty mean and rude to him which sets him off also and some rotten things are said to each other.



“What’s happening with us is special. It won’t last forever, but it’s rare and undeniable. I can’t make you any promises and I know you don’t want them. Can we explore what we have until it runs its course? I’m not done with you—it will take more than a few nights to get you out of my system, and I’d like to enjoy that time without a predetermined expiration date we arbitrarily set for ourselves.”



Wes is a man who gets what he wants most of the time. When we first met Wes he was the “douchebag lawyer” for the suspect in the Hensley University attack. What no one knows is that Wes only lets people see so much of him, a lot of him is hidden and not shared with anyone. He had set his sites on Meg ever since the first time they met in which they had one date and that was all. Now months later Wes has another chance to get Meg and he will stop at nothing this time to win her over.

“There’s something magnetic about you Meg. I’ve felt your pull since the first time I saw you, and I haven’t been able to escape it. I may not be your- or anyone’s forever guy, but for right now I’m yours.”



Can Wes open up and share with Meg? Will Meg reveal her secrets to Wes and their circle of friends? Can these two live happily ever after?

You will have to find out these answers for yourself. I will not spoil this for anyone.

I have loved this series since the first book. I cannot wait to see where she goes with Agent Delilah and her story. If you have not read this series I suggest you take a chance and check it out. I truly do not think you will be disappointed.

**Temper for You generously provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.**

5 Tempered Stars

Temper for You is the third book in Ms. Rulon’s new adult For You series. As a huge fan of the first two books in the series who in addition to loving the stories enjoyed getting to know the secondary characters I very much looked forward to learning more about Wes and especially Meg and her obviously secrets. I was not at all prepared for the onslaught of feelings and emotion those secrets would bring. Being prepared for the secret itself is hard to imagine. Wes and Meg are full of life and emotion they've kept buried. They're full of such depth that put together creates a storm out of those emotions for both them and the reader.

As Temper for You comes as book three in the series it wouldn’t be my first recommendation to read it as a stand-alone novel. Although the story presents as a stand-alone you’d be doing yourself a great disservice not reading the two phenomenal stories building up to the explosive tale of Wes and Meg.

Through the dual points of view of Wes and Meg we get a tale of struggle, hiding, redemption, love, and fun. As this series has progressed each book delves a little deeper in the dark recesses of life. The stories get a little heavier in content, Temper for You especially. Genna Rulon expertly weaves light into her darkness though. We get glimpses of triumph amongst the rubble; glimpses of redemption amongst the struggle. Wes and Meg are two very complicated people who have lived unimaginable lives yet both came out fighting, stronger than ever. They are truly a power couple. They have charisma and sass and charm rivaling the couples showcased in the first two books. The greatness about this author is that while each book highlights a new couple as main characters, the previous heroes and heroine’s stories keep moving forward. She expertly keeps their stories flowing as secondary characters, endearing all her characters to our hearts.

I can’t say enough about this series. This author creates charming characters full of passion and life even in the most undesirable of circumstances. She nurtures those characters through complex plots with simple ideas of love, honesty, and family. She builds on those characters with fruitful relationships. Each character, Wes and Meg included, is sharp and witty and passionate. The writing is magnetic and draws the reader into the worlds of characters we come to adore. Temper for You is another fantastic novel from the talented mind of Genna Rulon. I’m excited to get another story in the For You series as I’m forever a fan.

“There’s something magnetic about you Meg. I’ve felt your pull since the first time I saw you, and I haven’t been able to escape it. I may not be your- or anyone’s forever guy, but for right now I’m yours.”
-Aww! Swoon!

Temper For You was an AMAZING STORY that centers on Meg and Wes, whom you've previously already met in the "For You" series.

Meg Adeio

description

is a literally one of those conundrums shrouded in an epitome of secrets. She wants no outside commitments and keeps everyone in the dark about her gritty past- a past of which holds such deep shame and feelings of unworthiness for Meg that she is adamant to not jeopardize nor contaminate the people she loves with the filth of it.

“I am an apple, like in Snow White. I’m poison, ruined…rotten! The evil king dipped me in his cauldron of filth and contaminated me. Now everyone that comes near me is in danger of being infected-or worse, killed.”

What is she hiding? Who exactly is she running from? What deadly consequences has she unleashed?

And what could this mean for Westly “Wes” Black, the man who Meg can't seem to forget?

So now, Westly.

Westly "Wes" Black

description

is a man known for getting what he wants and what he wants is Meg. He’s kind of the anti-hero of this story when we first meet him, as he was initially the “douchebag lawyer” who represented the culprit behind the Hensely University attacks and murders.

HOWEVER, as you learn more about him you realize he's clearly misunderstood and that there’s more to him than meets the eye.

“He was the antithesis of every man I’d ever met- good or bad. A rare breed that was content to play the antihero while hiding a river of nobility so pure it cleansed his soul of the filth that surrounded him.”

You see... Wes, too, has an ugly past of his own which has left him scarred in the inside and avoidant to let anyone close to him.

But, as you can guess, this all changes after he meets and spends time with Meg and Wes finds himself not only opens himself up to Meg...but also falling in love with her!

This thus leads to many trials and tribulations for Wes and Meg, as Wes truly has to fight tooth and nail to break down Meg’s barriers and unveil her secrets, while also trying to convince her to let him into her heart as well.

What will become of these two? And when all is said and done, will it be enough for Meg to stay? Or will Meg's inner hindrances and dilemmas tear them apart? Read and you will find out!

“She was a mystery, wrapped in challenge and ribboned with secrets. She was the Rubik’s Cube I was going to solve.”

#So over all, an informative yet complex read filled with puddles of suspense and mystery, trials of love and friendship, witty banters and exchanges, and sensual reprieve! Loved it! And can’t wait for bk4 and Genna’s new book series! ♥

This is Meg's story. Meg is still living with Sam, though Sam is living with Griffin at the end of the second book. Apparently the timeline of this book doesn't begin right at the end of the second book. Everleigh and Hunter are married. Westly, the lawyer who represented the family of Sam's attacker and tried to buy her off is moving in next door. Meg, though livid, is still very much attracted to him. Westly, with his questionable morals, still feels that he is justified in his actions and he was trying to do the best for everyone. Protect his clients, pay the victims restitution, lock away the sociopath and keep everyone out of the papers. For a bottom feeding lawyer Westly isn't all bad, in fact he has layers of good in him. This book is interesting and well-written like the other two. The pacing is vastly improved from the first book. I was drawn into Meg's story. Something is up with Meg, she hints that she's a bad apple and the reader has to keep reading to find out why. I was more interested in finding out Meg's secrets than her developing relationship with Westly. It took 17 chapters before I was pretty sure I knew what was going on with Meg. She is in hiding and the people she ran from are on their way to get her. I thought the second book, Sam and Griffin's story Pieces for you was my favorite book of this series until I started reading the last hundred pages of this book. This book is absolutely amazing. I loved it so much. The series just keeps getting better. I wonder how the author can possibly top this one. 5 stars.

Wow! This book was amazing! Meg has secrets. She's hiding a past that even her closest friends really know nothing about. Westley is a defense attorney who is a god in the bedroom and thinks that is the only thing he can offer a woman - he doesn't do love or relationships. Of course, we get to check in with our favorite couples, Hunter and Everleigh and Sam and Griffin. I love the witty banter between these characters. Even though there are serious situations - Genna Rulon still manages to make these characters funny and there are a few laugh out loud moments. There was also a lot of suspense and I had no idea how things were going to end. I have been waiting for this book and it did not disappoint! I loved it and I highly recommend to anyone who is a fan of a suspenseful romance.

"Life is messy. Love is messier." -Catch and Release

So true. Love that quote. Genna Rulon is one of those authors that gets better the more she writes. I can honestly say this has been my favorite book to date of hers. She is growing and maturing in her writing, and it’s an utter joy watch this process.

Okay, Meg. We met her in the previous book. She’s kind of isolated herself, and keeps herself a bit hidden from her friends. They all know something is up, but have given her the space and freedom to decide if she wants to share. It’s what friends do. Meg is just kind of going through the motions though. Until Westly Black showed up in her coffee shop awhile back. There was a spark kind of an attraction that Meg hadn’t felt for awhile. Only he worked for the enemy. And friends being friends he was exiled.

Westly Black, smart, attractive, and thought-to-be prick Westly Black. He thought his shot with the beautiful Meg was gone. Well, until he found out she lives next door to his new apartment. Que music!

I won’t spoil anything for you. If you are a fan of Rolun, you know all her books have a strong plot point. Temper for you is no different. Through pain, tragedy, and growth these two will learn what true love and understanding is.

5 Stars of Westley (as you wish)!!

I have been totally sucked into this world! Westly Black is such a great dark prince!

Every girl dreams of the fairytale, you know, the one where the prince saves the princess and they live happily ever after. What if you grew up in a world where there were no fairytales, only twisted perceptions and lies? You escape that world and survive! But you live in a world of half truths and fear, still.

The gang returns in this. Griffin, Sam, Everleigh, and Hunter are all along for this wild ride into the life of Meg. Meg is amazing. I love listening to her talk and Westly is her perfect match.

Genna does an excellent job again! This will pull you in and keep you guessing. I was thrown when the truth was revealed as I am sure you will be too. There is the same strength as exhibited in the other books. The friendship among these people is heart warming. I laughed, I was intirgued, I was wowed, and I my panties were melted. Everything I could want in a book! I highly anticipate futher sequeals!

Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

I have been waiting for Temper For You, which is the third installment of the For You Series, since the moment I found out that Meg was getting her own story! I really connected with her, just like I did with the other characters of this series, and I was excited to read about her life journey. Oh boy! What an emotional and intense journey that our little Meg has!

In Temper For You, we follow Meg Adeio and Westly Black. These two are the last two people you would see together. On one side, we have Meg who is sweet and funny, and on the other we have Wes who is a-first-class douche nugget! Yup! Don't let those sexy eyes and body fool you ... He's an a**shole! When I found out who Meg's love interest would be I had a little ''freak out'' moment. I was like ... ''Really Genna?!?!?! That Westly Black?!?!?!'' lol!!! If you have read Pieces For You, you know exactly why I am saying this! lol!!! Since the moment they first met their attraction was undeniable. Unexpected circumstances made them take a different path, but destiny has brought them back together. When Wes enters Meg's life once again, Meg is not sure she can resist him. They try to fight their attraction, but eventually give in to it. The more days they spend together, the more they grow closer. When Meg's mysterious past comes literally crashing back into her life, Meg will have to make decisions that will change her life and the life of the people that she loves.

This was a very intense book! I love Genna Rulon's writing style ... it's freakin' PHENOMENAL! I really wish she could write a character just for me so that I could hang out with this FANTASTIC cast of characters. *Ahem* A bookworm can wish, right? lol!!! Ria, my co-blogger, is wishing for the same thing ... Right Ria? ;) I can't get enough of Ev, Hunter, Sam, Griffin, Meg and Wes. I love them to pieces and I wish that series would never end! When I read a book I want to be able to connect with the main couple of the story, but with the support cast of characters as well. The author does an amazing job at making us feel the connection between all these characters. I really loved all of the moments that these beautiful characters shared together and they will always hold a special place in my heart!

Going into Meg's story I had no idea what to expect. I knew it was going to be intense because Only For You and Pieces For You left me with no nails!!! I was such a mess! I have to admit that this one had me waiting for that bitting nails moment, but Oh.my.shit!!!!!! When I learned what was hiding in Meg's past I was like .... '' Wait a minute!!! What in the world?!?!?!'' I was lost in Wes and Meg's sexy world one moment and then BAM!!!!! My heart drops to the floor! I did not see that coming at all!!!! I had to reread some parts because I was like ... What?!?!?! My heart broke into a million pieces for Meg. She was so courageous to leave that past behind.

Wes and Meg's relationship was beautiful and heartwarming! They grew a lot as individuals and as a couple. They both took risks and they learned to trust each other with their feelings. I am so happy about the transformation that Wes did. He went from a cold a**hole to a tender man who wanted to love and cherish the girl who made him believe in love. Meg was a phenomenal character who literally stole my heart! She's so strong and she did whatever it took to keep her friends and the man she loves safe. Their chemistry is crazy addictive and I had a blast swooning, crying, screaming and laughing with them! Don't even get me started on Huntleigh and GriffLo! Oh my God!!! My belly still hurts from all the laughing I did! I love how they played a major role in MegLy's journey! My favorite was Sam! That girls is HILARIOUS!!! An automatic smile was on my face the entire time she was in a scene. This girl is Cray! Cray! lol!!!

Overall, Temper For You exceeded all of my expectations! I can't wait to see what is next! I was happy to learn that I will see these amazing characters in upcoming books by Genna Rulon. Eeeeep! My heart is so happy!!! <3

I give, Temper For You, by Genna Rulon 5 powerful, heart-pumping, sexy, intriguing stars!

Review: 4 out of 5 stars

Temper for You is the third book in the For You series and introduces us to Meg Adeio and Westly Black.

Meg is a character that I instantly adored, she hides a tragic past, is reserved for good reason and doesn’t give herself freely; she never feels that she is worthy of anyone or anything so she keeps to herself. I wasn’t Westley ‘douchbag lawyers’ biggest fan in the previous book but I was fascinated by him, he is a successful lawyer also with a mysterious past and sets his sights on Meg; she is reluctant but he is persistent and goes after what he wants.

Genna Rulon’s strengths lie in writing amazing, realistic characters that interact on a believable level; the dialogue is fun and witty and the banter had me giggling on many occasions. The mystery of Meg’s past had me intrigued and I couldn’t help but feel for what she had been through, life hasn’t been easy and her forced isolation was out of necessity not want, Genna Rulan bought all the elements of the story together nicely – romance, suspense and intrigue.

Temper for You is an engaging story filled with scheming, betrayal and forgiveness; the romance is written beautifully and the drama unfolded realistically; it was emotionally intense from the very first chapter.

Genna Rulon’s descriptive writing is fabulous and we are given many unexpected twists and turns that kept the pacing consistent and the story highly entertaining, Temper for You is told from both Meg and Wes’s POV and it worked out well as we get to see into their thoughts and reactions which I always enjoy. We also get to catch up with Hunter and Everleigh and Sam and Griffin who are wonderful friends and a great support network for Meg.
Though Temper For You is a part of the For You Series, it can be read as a stand-alone although I do highly recommend reading the first two books in the series as they are both brilliant and introduce us to some great characters.

Thank you kindly to Genna Rulon for the opportunity to read and review Temper for You.

Genna Rulon does it again

The third novel of the For You series delves into the relationship of Westley Black and Meg, specifically Meg's mysterious background. Once again, Genna Rulon seamlessly blends friendship, romance (both sweet & hot), laugh-out-loud humor, and seriousness. I know some readers complain twenty-somethings "don't talk like that". However, one of my favorite things about Rulon's writing style is her refusal to talk down to the reader or dumb down her characters and their dialogue. It sets her books apart and makes them that much more enjoyable.

I love how the other couples continue to play integral roles in each novel, creating a familiarity and cohesiveness within the series. Each time it feels like I'm getting back together with old friends, which is a mark of a great series in my opinion. I also thought having the male characters interact on their own added depth to new and old characters, as well as the story. At a couple of points I became frustrated with Meg's evasiveness, but looking back, this added to the story because it made me experience Wes' exasperation firsthand. Meg may not be my favorite character of the series (Ev's snarkiness is untouchable), but her story was so very intriguing and unexpected, it kept me completely engaged from start to finish. I utterly enjoyed this book, discovering the real Meg and Wes, and the romance between them.

I'm beyond thrilled there will be more to this series and was excited to read there will be another series involving some characters introduced in Temper For You.

Genna Genna Genna...... It is good to have you back! I am chuckling away at the inner dialogue going on and swooning over the bad guy, Wes, it is unusual for the object of affection to be the bad bad guy, so far in the books they have been the good guys, this one is not bad, but he is on the wrong side to start off shall we say...... So we can get a kick out of Meg trying not to let her 'Southern Hemisphere' rule her head!

Sam and Griffin are the characters making an appearance first as Sam is her roomie and Griffin Sam's bf, if you haven't read the previous books..... Omg, you have to. But you have to read those in order. This one, you can read as a standalone....then come Huntleigh.

I loved this, lol funny as when the three girls get together, my oh my, engaging characters as always and in depth writing. A storyline that kept me guessing till the end, I had no idea, and the horrific things Meg has to go through trying to escape her past, and keep the past from hurting her future.

It is hard to review this spoiler free. Just, a great gripping, sexy, hot all round Fabulous read from one of my Favourite Authors.

This third book in the series was quite different in terms of the storyline. I really enjoyed the slowly revealed background to Meg's life, her privacy and reluctance to let her friends in. Wesley was an interesting hero in this book, self-admittedly unscrupulous at time in business but deeply attracted to Meg. A great part of this book as with the others is the consistent thread of previous characters and their lives. Hunter, Everleigh, Sam and Griffen offer Meg the sense of family that she has never had.

The book initially had a slow pace but it built both in tension and depth as it progressed. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series so far and I'm glad to see that there will be a fourth and also an interconnected series on the way.

I already know I'm going to love it!!! LOL----just as I predicted I loved this book. This entire series is awesome. I LOVE Sam!!! After everything she has been through she still has a sense of humor and unfiltered thoughts. The things she says are hilarious. Poor Meg/Aurora..but put Everleigh and Sam together I would be peeing my pants. I really feel bad for Hunter at the end and hopefully things will work out in the next book between him and Wes. I can't wait for the next one!!!

My Temper For You Review ...




It has felt like forever until we finally get to find out Meg's story and I am ecstatic that Westly Black is her man to be. *Squee*  I absolutely adore this series!!! It has such a great balance of humor, angst, suspense and love. 












Meg and Westly are attracted to one another but reality is pushing them apart until fate steps in and moves him next door.  What better way to find the elusive 'O' then with the sexy neighbor who only wants a no strings attached relationship.  











As Meg and Westly give into their sexual attraction unavoidable emotions start to get involved but come to a road block with Meg's secrets and Westly's ignorance when it comes to relationships.


 


Meg has a story and as the book goes on I have to admit there were times I wanted to shake her and tell her spill the beans and move on.  It took quite awhile for her truth to come to the forefront and when it did ...















As the shock wore off on the truth, that element of the story started to grow on me which took a bit but thank god for Westly Black.  If it wasn't for the beauty and awesomeness of Wes I would have lost my patience with Meg because she was trying me with her reluctance to be honest to everyone and open up.












Westly has is own baggage and low self value but one thing he is good at is, being a great lover and he did not disappoint but this relationship thing is new to him so it was quite a shock when his heartless heart came to life. 









With the help of Wes and the gang, Meg is able to move forward or so we think but in truth the key in her recovery is Thia and her genius unconventional ways that sets everything in motion to be as it should be.  Meg and Wes have their own journey's to be able to love one another completely and freely.  But this was not an easy for journey especially for Meg as she is forced to deal with her past and tragic aspects of her present reality. 









Cultural Conditioning is a difficult barrier for many to break through because it is hard to come to terms of what is your personal beliefs and what is the beliefs of others that are put onto you.  For Meg her past has conditioned her to believe a certain way that she can't see past what her family has made her feel or see.  Thankfully for love, friendship and family it is the key for Meg to move forward and be free of her past and be all that she can be.













There are so many aspects that I loved in this book, mainly Westly and Thia .  The story is made so much more with Huntleigh and Grifflo.  Individually the characters are good but together they are great.  I did love this story even though at times I wanted to throttle Meg and her secrets.  Genna Rulon has yet again delivered a great book.  I can't not wait to read more from this series and her spin off series.

*This was an ARC provided to me for free in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and comments are my own.*

Wow. Just W-O-W….I don’t even know where to begin.

As I sit writing this I have come to the conclusion that the For You series is probably one of my favorite series and Genna Rulon has expertly weaved her way into my heart as one of my favorite authors! Temper For You, if you are familiar with the series is Meg’s story. If you are not familiar with the For You series, I urge you to get acquainted with these characters. You will adore them and cherish them just as I do. Although this can be read as a standalone I highly recommend reading the books in order. It just allows you to better connect with the characters and follow references from the past two novels. I don’t know that I can truly rank the books in any specific order as I feel Genna Rulon has undoubtedly stolen my heart every single time. I do believe I am a fan for life. She has an impressive ability to weave words in such a way that allows the reader to step into the book and experience every emotion with these characters. Her expert writing and flawless satire is incomparable to any author I’ve ever read. The closest comparison I can give is that her descriptive abilities are similar to that of Colleen Hoover and her humor close to that of Alice Clayton, however, she is truly unique when it comes to her sarcasm and no one in my opinion has come close to matching the quick wit of her characters.

We meet Meg in Pieces For You and immediately we know she’s hiding things. We learn that she has endured some struggles, but her honesty remains questionable. In Temper For You we learn why. Her shrouded past has caused her great pains and she has managed to steer clear of love and friendship. That is until she meets Ev, Sam, Griffin and Hunter. They as Genna claims “adopt” her into the family, and although she adores them, her past still has a tight hold on her. She is sure that she will eventually lose them. She is waging an internal war and although she appears fine on the surface she won’t allow anyone close enough to break through those walls. She knows the dangers of allowing anyone to get too close. So she remains guarded, that is until Westly Black re-enters her life and here begins the struggle. There is an undeniable attraction between these two and their chemistry is off the charts causing a surge of emotions that will forever alter the two. When Meg’s past collides with her present her future seems nothing more than a bleak prospect. Will her newfound family and potential romance allow her to break free from the chains of her past or will she be forced to lose everyone and everything she’s come to know and love?

Temper For You is told in dual perspectives. You will get to experience both Wes and Meg’s POV – which I absolutely loved. Wes is a man that on the surface appears to be nothing more than a pompous asshole, but as I read and learned more about his own story, I realized I might not have given him a fair chance. I, like Meg, had not allowed myself to look beyond whom we met in Pieces For You. When I was able to look past the little I knew of Wes I was enamored by this man and his many layers. My only advice to the reader is that you go into this judgment free…give him a chance as I did, you won’t be disappointed.

I was so deeply enthralled by this book that I forewent sleep just to finish it. Yes, it is that good!!! I’m not going to lie, there were moments where I wanted to grab Meg and shake her, but most of the book I spent curious and let’s just say her story is quite unlike anything you’d expect. It is quite a compelling read and while each of the characters in this series has experienced their share of struggles and hurdles, Meg’s story touched me in a different way. I felt for her and wanted her to have a happy ending despite the obstacles. I wanted to know more about her past and hoped she’d be able to find a future she deserved, but most of all I wanted her to realize her potential and worth. This story is magnetic. It draws you in and tugs at your heartstrings. You will hope and wish for the best outcome for these two despite the odds.

This book also gets incredibly steamy. I seriously thought my kindle was going to explode from the chemistry! Talk about passion.The descriptive language also caused me to blush a few times! Temper For You has the perfect blend of romance, drama, mystery and humor. It is hot, dramatic, sexy, raw, intense, inspiring and of course witty. I loved everything about this book and now I must buy all three books in print. These are books you need in your library! I highly recommend this to all new adult, romance, contemporary romance, omg who am I kidding, I recommend this to ALL readers (at least those 18 and older…due to the…ahem…content. haha)

** review for BareNakedWords **

Amazing. Amazing. Amazing!!!

“She was a mystery, wrapped in challenge and ribboned with secrets.
She was the Rubik’s Cube I was going to solve.”

Genna has done it again. She has exceeded my expectations and delivered an absolutely phenomenal book. I have become hooked; the characters, the writing. Just everything about these books draws you in and keeps you in its grasp. You fall more in love with each character after every book and ‘Temper For You’ is no different.

Meg has lived the past seven years shrouded in half-truths, secrets and isolation, until an incident which resulted in her being adopted in to the close friendship/family of Huntleigh and GriffLo. Finally for the first time in her life she is surrounded with love, friendship and family. She is happy.

Until her dark and gritty past catches up with her. Adamant not to let the people she has come to love be caught up in the crossfire and become ‘contaminated’, Meg needs to decide what to do.

Does she run to protect her family, or does she stay and fight for the freedom she so desperately wants?

Before there could be no question to what she would’ve done, but now there’s people that she loves, and a certain man who she can’t seem to forget. Westly ‘Wes’ Black.

Wes always gets what he wants, at whatever cost and what or who he wants is Meg spread beneath him in bed. To begin with we only know one side of Wes…the ‘douchebag lawyer’ who represented the man behind the Hensley Assaults and murders.

However, as the story progresses you start to see him in a different light. He starts to let down his guard and show that he is not the person you are led to believe. It’s just a façade.

“He was the antithesis of every man I’d ever met- good or bad. A rare breed that was content to play the antihero while hiding a river of nobility so pure it cleansed his soul of the filth that surrounded him.”

Wes and Meg are a perfect match for each other. They have a connection, but both are not interested in have a relationship. All they want is sex, with no strings.

“There are two areas I excel, the law and sex—and when I say I excel, I mean I’m a fucking god. You will forget your own name because all you’ll be able to do is scream mine…over and over again. You want no-strings, mind-blowing sex? There is no one better qualified.”

However, the more time they spend with each other, the more their feelings grow.

Wes starts to open up and shows Meg the true man behind the mask. And in turn finds himself falling in love. But Meg is still closely guarded and Wes has to fight tooth and nail to break down her barriers and uncover her secrets, as well as trying to convince her to let him into her heart as well.

But at the end of the day the questions still remain.

Will Wes uncover the truth? Or will Meg’s past prove to be too much and drive them apart?

“I am an apple and you are the water. I’m covered in filth and you are an expert filth remover. You cleaned me until I could finally see what was hidden beneath the layers of lies and manipulation. You, Westly Black, are my essential element—the water o need to survive and thrive.”


My heart broke for Wes and Meg. The trials and tribulations that they faced, you wouldn’t wish it on any one. I cringed at what Meg had to endure and had tears spring to my eyes. She was selfless and stupid but I can totally understand her reasons for doing what she done. I would’ve done the same thing. But the support she had surrounding her, truly shows how much she was loved, and if I was one of her friends, I would’ve totally kicked her ass.

I seriously cannot express my utmost love for this book, this series and this author. Genna’s writing is absolutely fantastic and faultless. The characters that she has introduced us to are amazing, and their relationship with each other is something that you would want for yourself. They’re hilarious, and so full of love and protectiveness. They rally around each other and become a force to be reckoned with when shit hits the fan. They take a place in your heart and will stay with you, always.

Thank you. Genna. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You seriously need to read ‘Temper For You’ and the rest of the books in the series. I guarantee you will fall in love with them just as much.

I cannot wait for book 4 to come and the spin-off series that is to come as well. I may have squealed a bit.

I Do Not want this series to end!!!

I don't even know where to begin with this book. I was floored by this story. Genna has a way of taking incredible characters and building a tale that will change your perspective. The entire For You series has been one fabulous story after another and I expected nothing less than an amazing book! She delivered and exceeded my expectations. TEMPER FOR YOU is an evoking tale of one tortured souls transformation into a free woman and the path that took her there. It is a sweet love story, filled with moments of tender love and flashes of raw sexiness. There is drama and angst but nothing that would turn the reader off. Instead the deep emotions draw you in and create a tie between your heart and the heart of the book.

Meg was one of the sweetest and saddest characters I have read in a while. It was gut wrenching to see the world through her eyes, to understand the pain and isolation she felt through the vast majority of her life. She was a shell of who she was meant to be. Her life and upbringing tarnished something so deep within her soul that there was little hope that anything could change her fate. She was a raw and vulnerable character who emulated so much quiet strength that I was surprised and floored. Her unconditional love for her friends was deep and impacting. The process of watching her allow the unconditional love to be reciprocated was powerful, creating a transformation that was quite spectacular.

Wes was the epitome of douche-bag yet he used it as a way to shield his life and heart from those around him. Easier to profess oneself as an a$$hole than to give the allusion of expectations he would not and believed that he could not fulfill. He allowed so many people to misjudge him. This allowance created a facade that he played into, at times believing that he was exactly what people thought. He was a well written male character that I enjoyed so much!

Meg and Wes first encounter each other PIECES FOR YOU, the second installment of the series. They have an incredible date together and then truth is outed, assumptions are made, and the night ends in disaster. Needless to say, they are not on the best of terms. When Wes moves into the townhouse next to Meg and Sam, they are forced to re-evaluate their hostile relationship. Something more is there. They both want something, not permanent, but something to fulfill the inexplicable longing and spark that exists between them. As they explore that spark, they both begin to feel things that they never intended. Yet the connection can only go so deep with secrets hidden and truth silenced.

There are several themes that I loved and appreciated in this book. First, the theme of family and friendship. I love the deep connections the people have in books. To have it portrayed in such a rich and powerful way is a testament to Genna's incredible author prowess. We see the main characters from the first two books, Hunter, Everleigh, Sam, and Grffin, all of whom are deeply embedded into Meg's life. They rescued her from herself and brought her into such a strong and loving community that allowed her to feel safe. For the first time in her life, she understands what love means. The idea that your family is who you choose is so well displayed and you can practically feel the connection and emotion leaping from the page. They feel everything with each other and bear one another's burdens with no second thought.

Another theme I loved was the theme of healing. Not only did Meg go through a healing transformation to rid her of her demons and set her free, we also see a healing of sorts with Wes. Their relationship developed into something that created a safe environment for truth and restoration. When you learn of their pasts and their tormenting secrets, it is heart breaking to see what they have came from, yet both are so strong, determined to leave it behind. When they find a healthy way to deal with the pain and the memories, it is powerful to watch. It is very introspective. I found myself evaluating areas where I saw similar emotions in my life. This theme was so well written. It was raw, emotional, agonizing, yet so beautiful and pure.

I feel like I could literally go on and on about this book! The entire series is incredible and this one is just as great! If you have not read Genna's For You series, then stop what you are doing and one click this series. You will not be disappointed!

It kills me to have to tell you this because I know some of you will disregard everything I say afterwards. I hope you don't. I hope that if you follow my reviews you know by now that I'm honest. Sometimes brutally and trust me when I say some don't like it. If you've stumbled upon this review, I hope you give me and the book a chance. I really do stand behind my words.

I beta read this book.

I'll let that settle for a moment.

Cool. Now that's out of the way.

Genna Rulon is one of two authors I beta for. I count myself extremely lucky in that I can not only call them both friends but I can say that I helped them in their book writing endeavors. Being a beta is good and bad. I get to be a part of a process knowing that eventually someone will buy a book that I helped with. The reader may not know my name but that's okay, I do it more for the author. I want to see them succeed and grow. I love knowing that someone thinks my opinion matters enough to change something they wrote. BUT, There is a downside, my review isn't taken as seriously, readers may hate the book (which inadvertently is a reflection on me), or the reader and even the author may blame the beta for not catching things before it's published. For these reasons, I'm very picky with who I work with. I want to know that if I say "No this doesn't work" the author will listen. I also want to be able to say "that's crap Genna," and have her reply "okay I've fixed it!" Or have her argue why she thinks I'm wrong. Knowing that at the end of the day there are no hard feelings. She's open to hearing my critiques without it ruining the relationship. And I did exactly that with this book. There were things with Wes that didn't sit right and I called Genna on it. Told her that I didn't like his internal dialogue, it didn't feel manly to me. Guess what? She agreed and made changes. So if you still don't like Wes I guess it's my fault. Vice versa, there were things I thought needed to change that Genna said "hell no" to and that's okay. She's the author it's her baby. The story isn't in my head and she knows exactly where it's going and how it should be told.

At the end of the day, I'm so very proud of Temper For You. Genna has already shown her writing skills in Only For You and Pieces For You (I also beta read for this one) so there's no doubt she can write. In fact she writes very well. I went back to the first review I wrote on Only For You, to see how I felt back then.

Only For You is a refreshing, electric, thoughtful, witty debut novel and I’m honored that Genna asked me to read and review it.


That quote still holds true today for Temper For You (TFY). TFY is sexy, it's witty, it's gritty, it's very well written, and it's refreshing. The story starts out going in one direction and before you know it, it turns into a beautiful story of love, friendship, family, and the realization that some of us really can have our happily ever after. The dynamic between the characters in Genna's stories is like no other I've read. She brings together a motley crew of personalities and backgrounds and blends them together under the most extraordinary of circumstances. You will laugh and you will cry. At the end I hope you're just as content as I am.

Each Genna Rulon book is a journey of self discovery. The stories themselves are works of fiction but the characters and their backgrounds are relatable to you and me as individuals. There's a beautiful story here, beyond the hot sexy romance. TFY is really about relationships. It's about recognizing and accepting that sometimes our friends make a better family. That it's okay to let go your past and move forward surrounded by those who truly care for you. It's about letting go...

I'm proud of Temper For You but I'm more proud of Genna Rulon for pushing herself to be a better author, to think outside the box, and to give readers intelligent, well written books.

★✩★✩★ 5- Deep, Dark Secrets & Sexy Hook-up -Stars
~this review may contain minor spoilers~

Knowing how dismal my life could be, I cherished this gift. It was my season of love and security, but like all seasons, it wouldn't last forever. Winter would return and I would be alone once again.

★✩CLIFFNOTES✩★

Meg has spent years surviving on her own, she's on the run from a past very few people know about which made being alone necessary. Until she was taken in by Sam, Griffin, Ev & Hunter; they have become her closest friends and makeshift family. But even they don't know the full scope of her past, she guards who she is very tightly to keep everyone safe and untainted by her past. She was fine with all this... until Westly Black came charging into her life. They met under dubious circumstances surrounding an incident with Sam; through some misunderstandings they were doomed from the start, but for the last nine months Wes has been unable to get Meg out of his mind. As luck would have it, he ends up moving in next door and as soon as they see each other again the sparks fly. They both want each other, and neither are looking for any commitments, so why not have a little fun while they can. But when Meg's past comes crashing into her present she has a difficult decision to make; she must leave, despite her resistance, in order to protect those she has come to love.

it was like a darkness had been planted inside her and allowed to grow unchecked. It was independent of her spirit, but she was forced to carry it's burden.
She was a mystery, wrapped in challenge, ribboned with secrets.
She was the Rubik's Cube I was going to solve.


I have not read the previous books in this series, something I plan to rectify very shortly, but I never felt like I was behind the curve. Obviously there were parts of the story I had missed, but the author did a fantastic job of catching me up on the back stories without flying too far of course. I still plans on reading the first two books if for no other reason than ~1) I fell in love with this authors writing style. Quirky, funny, fast & sexy. ~2) I fell completely in love with these characters and want to experience first hand how Sam & Griffin, Ev & Hunter, got to where they are now myself. Meg & Wes stole my heart with this one; Meg's struggles with her past, which was a huge mystery, was heartbreaking. She was so much stronger than she gave herself credit for, she lived with so much guilt and such constant fear she had a hard time just being in the moment, surround by a love she was unfamiliar with. Wes was a good man buried behind a shield, he didn't want people to see who he really was, didn't want to let anyone close ~ you can't be hurt if you never allow yourself to truly feel anything. Sex was all he was after, and he enjoyed it throughly, but Meg brought something out of him he was unprepared for. Between the ridiculous sexual tension coating the pages, the secrets shrouding Meg's past and the constant threat she was under; it was an intense ride. One I am glad I took and one I would highly recommend to anyone who likes their romances on the not-so-easy side. Genna Rulon stole my heart with this book and firmly landed herself on my One-Click Addiction List. I cannot wait to dive into the beginning of this series and look forward to what she brings us next.

“I may not be your-or anyone's-forever guy, but for right now I'm yours. Whatever your facing, I want to help. You don't have to lay it all out for me, but you have to open up a sliver... just a glimpse beneath the surface. That is, if you want what I'm offering.”

ARC from Genna Rulon for honest review!

« The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances : if there is any reaction, both are transformed » - Carl Jung

This is the third book of the « For you » series, the story about Meg (Ev and Sam’s friend working in Higher Yearning) and Wes (the defense attorney of Heath’s family).
After what happened in the second book, Meg is living in Sam’s apartment and finishing her degree in sociology.
Life goes on and one day a stranger knocks her door and Meg didn’t recognize him at first.
After a few moments of panic, she did and the exchange between them is very tough!
Wes is her new neighbor!
Even she despised him, we can feel the chemistry between them. Meg is a complex and mysterious women and Wes is shark at work, succeed in his job. Since she dumped him in the coffee shop in book 2, Meg tried to avoid her attraction to him. Wes is aware of their chemistry and tries everything to be at her side, « stalking » her by his window!Making plans to get her.
From this moment, Wes came into Meg’s life and wasn’t expected more. He became accepted by the gang and their relationship grows incredibly faster and deeper.

I don’t want to spoil because i think you need to read this book for what’s coming next in this story.

Meg is very strong and tough character, beautiful outside and inside but she’s hiding something very big from her background.Always caring for her adopted family (Huntleigh and Grifflo). I love how they interacted as friends but also as a family. The girls interactions are so funny and with no filters!! They are like sisters and even their bond, Meg can’t tell them the truth for their safety.
Wes is no string attached, taking what he wants but he has one rule : no relationships and mostly with married women. He knows how attractive he is, like sex on a stick! he’s so hot and alpha!
He doesn’t justify for his actions and he’s aware of his qualities. He was a kind of asshole at the beginning but it didn’t make him a despicable character and i really appreciate it!
As a couple, they are so great, we can fell how they are extremely meant to be together. I love how they tried to be honest, especially Wes, because Meg having her issues, can’t confide to people and he knows it. He doesn’t want to push her.
The chemistry is not only sexual; they are best friends, lover and a lot more. It’s a whole.
Welcoming Wes in her family wasn’t easy, the guys were guys, (especially Hunter, i love him too by the way), he wasn’t looking for kindness and be accepted so quickly (thanks to Sam: she is so entertaining).

I went through a lot of emotions but i like how Genna Rulon succeed to manage sadness, funny moments (i laugh a lot even the real topic of this story), sorrow, redemption,…
This is well settled and the psychology of the characters doesn’t lie on the surface, well developed.
I wasn’t anticipate for Meg’s background, and the author is a really tricky woman! All of it make Meg so stronger and very loving character, she ’s totally devoted to her adopted family and did all she can to protect them.

Trust me, i read this book in less than a day, because i can’t put it down and was consumed by the story!
If you don’t know Genna Rulon’s writing, it’s time to get ready for an amazing series, each book are fantastic, with endearing characters. What i expect from a book is to live another one’s story and the author handle it very well.

I give this book more than 5 stars! I want to thank Genna for giving me this ARC and can’t wait for the release day : 24th September! Genna you rock! Be sure that i will read all your incoming books. (I can’t wait,2015 is too far!!!)
I’m sad to leave the gang but i know that is not a goodbye!! ;-)

WOW..trying to gather my thoughts, can you give me a second...Holy crap...still processing. OK, I think I can give you a clear and cohesive review. If I ramble, than I'm sorry you should be use to me by now and with my reviews. When a book leaves me sitting here still thinking about the events in the book and feeling you got hit by a Mac truck you know the book was good! Well, Temper For You, by Genna Rulon is no exception. I went in thinking one thing and left this book feeling and thinking something completely different.

Temper For You is the third and was suppose to be final book in the series (I'll get to that in a bit) It centers on Meg Adeio. We meet Meg in the second book, Pieces For You. Meg has a lot going on! And let me tell you it's ALOT! Mega has secrets buried deep. She is a shell of herself, actually she doesn't know who or what she really is in this world. Her upbringing has skewered her thinking so much she doesn't know if or when she will be able to let anyone in that isn't Sam, Ev, Griffin or Hunter...her adoptive family. Love just doesn't seem to have time for Meg or could her next store neighbor bring out the woman she has always been longing to be? Enter Westly (Wes) Black. A mega huge Attorney who just knows he can bring ANY woman to her knees without much seduction. Meg is the one that got away from Wes. He wanted Meg to be another "notch in his bedpost". But a huge misunderstanding (sorta) causes Meg and Wes to have an intense falling out. Now that he has her as his new neighbor, Wes is going to stop at nothing to get her begging his name. BUT there is just something about Meg that has Wes feeling emotions he doesn't know what to do with. When her bury secrets start to come back from the past, will he have the courage to endure and stick with her through it all?


I just love, love, love this series. This book, like I said before, was no exception. Genna writes from the heart. She basically sits you down and pours all her emotions for you to bare witness to. She gives you characters you wish were a part of your REAL LIFE and not just the world of the book. Meg and Wes were a good book couple. Their connection was strong and the sexual chemistry was off the charts! I was a bit peeved with Mr. Wes though when a secret was revealed from Meg's past and he just basically dumps her right in the middle of the street without her giving him a clear explanation. Supposedly at this stage in the book, she was starting to become his world and to just cast her off, not only hurt Meg, but us as the readers. It felt like he was dumping his damn reading audience. Crazy! The one thing that did drive me crazy was Meg's secret. I swear I was going crazy with all the hush, hushness from her. It was like, "Enough Meg, you know they all care and give a damn about you so stop the woes is me act and TALK!!" Out of all the females in the For You series, she was my less favorite. She was a strong willed woman to endure what she had to in the end (Jesus that part was tough!) but I did feel like slapping her a couple a times to drill some sense into her.


All in all this book was another great read by Ms. Rulon and no we are not done with it just yet! There will be a forth book in the For You series. I will of course be on the lookout for this one and of course I am nowhere near ready to say goodbye to Ev/Hunter, Sam/Griffin and now Meg/Wes (FYI Meg goes through a name change in the book, very important part! so pay attention to that). Out of a 5 giving the book a 4.5. Well done!

I've loved every single page of Genna Rulon's For You series, and Temper For You was every bit as good as its predecessors.

I already knew all the characters in the For You series, and I was happy to get to see them all again. Meg was an enigma in Pieces For You---and in my PFY review, I wrote that I hoped book three was Meg's story. I was so excited at the chance to get to know her better.

Meg is the complete opposite of her friends Samantha and Everleigh. As open as Sam and Everleigh are with each other and everyone around them, Meg is a closed book. The phrase that comes to mind when I think of Meg is that she keeps her feelings close to her vest. Nothing about Meg is as it seems, not even her name. Speaking of names, I loved the symbolism there (it's at the end of the book so I won't say more, but it was perfectly done). I knew Meg surely had a very difficult past, but I could never have imagined just how horrific her childhood and young adulthood actually were.

Westly was different from the other guys in the For You series, and I liked that his character was a big change of pace from the usual hero types. Westly is a self-proclaimed immoral man whose only rule is that he doesn't date married women. Everything else is free rein. Westly is a defense attorney, who does well financially, and takes a lot of flack for his choice of career. And he's just about the sexiest character ever written! He isn't your typical 'bad boy,' but definitely has some bad boy characteristics that made him all the more alluring.

Meg and Wes think that they will have a no-strings-attached type of relationship. Both are shocked by the turn their relationship takes, and the feelings they evoke in each other. I love the way Rulon writes her characters' emotions. She always makes me feel everything her characters are feeling. I smile, laugh, and cry while reading her books, and love every minute of it. I felt my heart racing several times while reading Temper For You, and even had to put the book down once due to my eyes being too flooded with tears to read.

Meg's past was truly heartbreaking. It was something I never expected, and I loved that Rulon surprised me in that way. Genna Rulon's books are contemporary new adult romance novels with an edge. Each book has a deep, intense element of suspense or mystery to it. That element gives the stories an air of intrigue and urgency. I always find myself just as interested in the mystery as I am in the resolution of the love story. And I can't say that for many contemporary romance novels: most of them, I'm just in it for the love story. The minor plot points are just 'fluff' to me. There is no fluff in Rulon's novels. Every sentence serves to further the plot, and that sharp edge makes her work stand out in a genre where the stories can start to run together.

I love the endings to the books in this series. There is complete closure, yet nothing is an unrealistic happily ever after. I love that the endings are so real. Big, life-changing things happen in these stories, and no one comes out the same as they were in the beginning. Sometimes the changes are good, and sometimes they are painful, but the growth itself is what I love to read about.

I can't say enough good things about this book. Everything about it was just deliciously good, from the quotes at the beginning of each chapter, to the love story, to the positive, uplifting friendships. I loved everything about Temper For You and can't wait for Genna's next book! If you are new to Genna Rulon, I highly recommend her For You series!

I received a copy of this story for an honest review for The Reading Room Blog.

It's here! It's here! I am a HUGE fan of Genna Rulon's For You books and Temper For You was on my list of highly anticipated books of 2014. Now for the story...

Meg Adeio has lived her life like it is built on shifting sands, making no connections because in a minute everything could fall away. Everything changes when Meg is adopted into a rag tag group of friends that refuse to take no for an answer. Surrounded by their love and happiness Meg begins to question if she can risk trying to find a little for herself.

Westly Black has a less then stellar reputation. He mercilessly rules the courtroom and defends his high priced clients regardless of their guilt. Westly's first introduction to Meg may have left a bad taste in her mouth but it left him wanting a second chance. When Westly finds out his new next door neighbor is none other then the mysterious Meg, he become a man on a mission. Westly Black doesn't know how to lose.

As Meg and Wes fight to decide if their destined for a fling or something more meaningful, forces from Meg's past begin to circle the pair putting everything and everyone at risk.

What I Loved: Genna Rulon writes dialogue like nobody's business and reading Temper For You felt like I was part of Meg and Westly's inner circle, getting an upfront view of their relationship as it ignited and caught fire. There were at least 30 quotes that I highlighted because they just jumped off of the page. As a fan of the first two For You books I was super happy to see Sam, Everleigh, Griffin, and Hunter play a significant part in Meg and Wes's story.

What I Didn't Love: The ending of Temper For You left me a little torn. Right around the 85% mark the story switched from heavy emotion to heavy action and I had to reread the conclusion several times to make sure I didn't miss something. Be warned there is a scene of violence that some may find upsetting.

Favorite Quotes:

"There are two areas I excel, the law and sex - and when I say excel, I mean I'm a fucking god. You will forget your own name because all you'll be able to do is scream mine over and over again. You want no-strings, mind-blowing sex? There is no one better qualified."

"Meg set all my alarm bells ringing, not because she was inherently dark. More so, it was like a darkness had been planted inside her and allowed to grow unchecked. It was independent of her spirit, but she was forced to carry its burden."

"All we can do is live in the moment and treasure what we do have, not focus on what we don't or may never have."


Overall Temper For You is a good read that provides both steam and suspense. While Temper For You can be read as a stand alone, I highly recommend reading Only For You and Pieces For You first. Both are fantastic reads and will give more depth to the relationship between Meg, Sam, and Everleigh.

Happy reading.
