Only For You (For You #1) by Genna Rulon
It’s a story of roommates
in college nearing graduation and living with the fear of a potential serial
rapist/murder on the loose. A school
sponsored self-defense class is where the roommates meet the hotty instructor
Hunter. Everleigh, in an attempt to bring levity, is caught joking around and
is asked to leave. Making an example out of her, Hunter tosses Everleigh out. Teary eyed Everleigh decides to shake it off
and get ready her first class of the semester.
Well looky who is sitting
behind Everleigh in class……. Uh huh. You got it - Hunter. This begins the cat
and mouse of enemies, friends, and wannabe lovers. With the mystery of who could be after the
woman of Hensley University, everyone is a potential suspect. The girls start
to question motives and actions of those around them. Hunter becomes a fixture
in the girl’s lives and a constant monitor.
I like the overall story
very much. The girls are great, the chemistry between Hunter and Everleigh was
spot on, and the mystery keeps you guessing right up until the end. My only criticism
would be to tone down on the info. At times I felt like I was reading a pamphlet
instead of a romance. If you want to give a girl heading off to college a subtle
safely lesson with a hint of romance and mystery, this is your book. It really is a great start to a new series.
All in all 4 STARS for
romance, info and mystery.

“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 carefully planned.
When a wave of violent crime seizes campus, Everleigh is persuaded to attend a school sponsored self-defense seminar by her best friend, where she meets volunteer instructor, Hunter Charles. After Everleigh’s biting sarcasm induces Hunter to eject her from class, a tempestuous relationship is born.
Everleigh is determined to forget the striking man, but fate—that fickle shrew—continuously intervenes. Unable to escape him, she declares Hunter an enemy combatant. The only complication…Hunter is resolutely pursuing 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 intelligent characters, witty 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.
