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

 Excerpt 

 

     Son of a bitch!     

     I marched back to my house, dodging furniture and movers along the way, not stopping until I reached my home office where my cell phone and solitude were located.

     Son. Of. A. Bitch!

I swore if I ever saw her again I would either:  a) pretend I didn’t know her, or b) coax her into my bed.  Nothing in either plan dictated cursing at her; it was an inexcusable fumble.  Dammit!  The only good news was that my father wasn’t alive to hear me confess my crimes.  He would have ripped me a new one for talking to a lady that way, even if the description had been accurate—which unfortunately, it was not.  Therefore, I couldn’t even comfort myself with the knowledge that I simply verbalized the truth because Meg was a lot of things, but she was definitely not a bitch.

Meg…when she opened the door, it knocked the wind out of me.  I’d convinced myself—after she unceremoniously kicked me to the curb in the middle of the coffee shop—that my memories were idealized after nine months fantasizing about her.  Nope.  She was even more stunning than I remembered, and every part of me responded to the sight of her.  My brain stalled, deprived of oxygen, as all of the blood in my body detoured southward.  And while some parts appeared to be stupefied into complete stillness—such as my mouth, which seemed unable to form words—another part of me was rising to the occasion and begging for attention.  Yes, Little West was pointing due north.

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.

Released July 25^th, 2014

Self-Published

Blurb

Young, rich, and unaware of how seriously hot he is, Brooks Davison is tearing it up as the latest shortstop for the New York Kings, despite his tendency to blush whenever girls scream his name.

When a health scare forces his best friend, Kyle Roberts, off the team, no one can stomach the thought of replacing him, especially so close to the playoffs.

Until Kyle's sister, Sasha, steps in, convincing management to let her take his place. The idea of signing the first female player in Major League history proves too tempting for the Kings to resist.

Nevertheless, Brooks doesn't want any part of it. Sasha is Kyle's little sister, not some sideshow.

Yet when Kyle takes a turn for the worse, Brooks promises to do everything in his power to help Sasha win a championship for him. Because there's no way he's letting either of them down. Not now, not ever.

Author Info

Collette West grew up as somewhat of a jock-nerd hybrid. Entering the world three weeks premature, her dad nearly missed her birth because he had seats behind the dugout for a sold-out, highly-anticipated match-up between two of baseball's biggest rivals. Not to be outdone, her book-loving mom taught her how to read by the time she was three. A love of the game coupled with an appreciation for the written word were instilled in Collette's impressionable brain from a young age. No wonder her characters believe in the philosophy: sports + romance = a little slice of heaven.

Splitting her time between the Pocono Mountains and Manhattan, Collette indulges her inner fangirl by going to as many games as she can from hockey to baseball and downloading every sports romance novel in existence onto her iPad. When she's not clicking away on her laptop, she enjoys walking her dog in Central Park, satisfying her caffeine craving at the Starbucks on Broadway and keeping an eye out for Mr. Right. But above all, she loves dishing with her readers. Email her at collette_west@yahoo.com

STAY WITH ME TRAILER:

EXCERPT:

As I lay there, trying to swallow a loud, obnoxious yawn, I remembered something he’d said when we first met, about life being too short. I imagined he had firsthand experience with shortened lives while he was serving. That mentality came from experience. I got that now. Could even understand it, but there was something I didn’t understand. 

“Why?” I asked.

There was a beat. “Why what?”

Jax sounded tired, and I should shut up or point out that I was now tired and could sleep, so he could leave. But I didn’t. “Why are you here? You don’t know me and . . .” I trailed off, because there really wasn’t anything left to say. 

A minute went by, and he hadn’t answered my question, and then I think another minute ticked on, and I was okay with him not answering because maybe he didn’t even know. Or maybe he was just bored and that was why he was here. 

But then he moved. 

Jax pressed against my back, and the next breath I took got stuck in my throat. My eyes shot open. The sheet and blanket were between us, but they felt like nothing. 

“What are you doing?” I asked. 

“Getting comfortable.” He dropped an arm over my waist, and my entire body jerked against his. “It’s time to sleep I think.”

“But—”

“You can’t sleep when you talk,” he remarked.

“You don’t need to be all up on me,” I pointed out.

His answering chuckle stirred the hair along the back of my neck. “Honey, I’m not all up on you.”

I freaking begged to differ on that point. I started to wiggle away, but the arm around my waist tightened, holding me in place. 

“You’re not going anywhere,” he announced casually, as if he wasn’t holding me prisoner in the bed. 

Okay. The whole prisoner thing might be melodramatic, but he wasn’t letting me up. Not when he was getting all kinds of comfy behind me. 

Oh my God, this was spooning. Total spooning. I was spooning with an honorary member of the Hot Guy Brigade. Did I wake up in a parallel universe?

“Sleep,” he demanded, as if the one word carried that much power. “Go to sleep, Calla.” This time his voice was softer, quieter.

“Yeah, it doesn’t work that way, Jax. You have a nice voice, but it doesn’t hold the power to make me sleep on your command.”

He chuckled.

I rolled my eyes, but the most ridiculous thing ever was the fact that after a couple of minutes, my eyes stayed shut. I . . . I actually settled in against him. With his front pressed to my back, his long legs cradling mine, and his arm snug around my waist, I actually did feel safe. More than that, I felt something else—something I hadn’t felt in years. 

I felt cared for . . . cherished. 

Which was the epitome of dumb, because I barely knew him, but feeling that, recognizing what the warm, buzzing feeling was, I fell right asleep.

      

STAY WITH ME Synopsis:

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wait for You and Be with Me comes a daring tale that pushes boundaries . . .

At 21, Calla hasn't done a lot of things. She’s never been kissed, never seen the ocean, never gone to an amusement park. But growing up, she witnessed some things no child ever should.   She still carries the physical and emotional scars of living with a strung-out mother, Mona—secrets she keeps from everyone, including her close circle of college friends.

But the safe cocoon Calla has carefully built is shattered when she discovers her mom has stolen her college money and run up a huge credit card debt in her name. Now, Calla has to go back to the small town she thought she’d left behind and clean up her mom’s mess again. Of course, when she arrives at her mother’s bar, Mona is nowhere to be found. Instead, six feet of hotness named Jackson James is pouring drinks and keeping the place humming.

Sexy and intense, Jax is in Calla’s business from the moment they meet, giving her a job and helping her search for Mona. And the way he looks at her makes it clear he wants to get horizontal . . . and maybe something more. Before Calla can let him get close, though, she’s got to deal with the pain of the past—and some very bad guys out to mess her up if she doesn't give them her mom.

CAISEY'S CASTING PICKS

   

EXCERPT

“God, you’re so f*cking beautiful.”

Her eyes widened up at him. She could only imagine how she looked. Hair messy and damp, his shirt sliding off one shoulder, eyes glazed over.

“You are.” He shook his head as if searching for the words to explain his attraction to her. “That first night, swear to everything holy, I thought you might be some mythical creature come to steal my soul. But you were so damn beautiful that I would have given it to you.”

She kept quiet, afraid to move or speak and risk breaking the magic that kept him with her, kept him from running. He wasn’t running. He was opening up and being honest.

Dean lowered himself into the bed beside her, propping on one elbow and facing her. Fate mirrored his position and admired the way the moonlight lit his handsome face.

“I asked the universe for a sign. It sent me you.”

Her whispered confession made him smile. But his expression turned serious far too soon for her liking. “I felt it the moment I saw you. A compulsion like I’d never felt before, as if some unseen force propelled me toward you without my consent. I’ve felt it ever since.”

Fate rested her head on her hands and nodded against them. “I feel it too. I’m just…a little afraid of it. Of what it might cost us.”

“My mom used to say that things worth having didn’t come easy and that the kind of girl that was worth waiting for wouldn’t wait on anyone. Those two adages keep coming back to me every time I think of you.”

She inched her hand over toward his. “Do you do that often? Think of me?”

Dean kept eye contact, only breathing and watching her. “Define often.”

Fate grinned. “More than once a week.”

The slight curve of his lips faded and his gaze became a heavy, tangible thing she could feel pressing into her.

“I thought of you every day, Fate. And I didn’t even know your name. Even after I did… I think after that, it was more like several times a day.”

She wanted to keep this moment, to keep him here with her just like this. Both of them exposed and vulnerable. It was real and honest and—despite her exhaustion— exhilarating. But she knew it wouldn’t last forever. Nothing ever did.

“Sleep with me tonight. Don’t leave. Just… Just sleep with me, please.”

He nodded, letting his fingers interlace with hers between them and placing a soft kiss on the top of her hand. “I’m not going anywhere. Goodnight, sweetheart.”

“Goodnight, Dean.”

My Book Boyfriend Monday - Matt McKinney

It has been awhile since I found someone worthy of my book boyfriend Monday.  When I first started to read I would find worthy BF's all the time but the more I read the pickier I get but Matt McKinney from Worth The Fall by Claudia Connor definitely makes the cut.

Matt makes the cut because ...

1. He is a bloody Navy Seal (enough said)
2. He loves whole heartedly
3. His heart is the size of Texas

Some of the reasons why I fell in love with Matt are :

Worth the Fall (The McKinney Brothers #1)

by Claudia Connor (Goodreads Author)

 
Prepare to be swept away by a talented debut author with a passionate, powerful story to tell.

They meet on a beach. . . . Abby Davis isn’t wearing a skimpy bikini or sipping umbrella drinks, not when she’s busy chasing around four little ones. And Matt McKinney isn’t looking for fun—he’s a Navy SEAL, a grown man with a long list of missions . . . and fallen brothers.

They only have a week. . . . Abby has brought her children to this beach to start over, to give them the enjoyable memories they deserve. Matt’s been sidelined by a combat injury, and haunted by the best friend he lost and the promise he made: to remain a SEAL—focused and dedicated. This leaves no time for what he’s always wanted: a family.

But a week is all it takes. . . . Matt opens her heart while Abby soothes his soul. And though they plan to say good-bye when the week is over, something magical happens on that beach, something neither can forget. Something utterly, completely worth falling for.

Forever Starts Tonight & Melt Into You by Roni Loren - #bookreviews

Forever Starts Tonight (Loving on the Edge #5.5)

by Roni Loren (Goodreads Author)

The wait is over. They fell in love in Melt Into You, but that was only the beginning. Now New York Times bestselling author Roni Loren dials up the passion as three lovers reinvent the meaning of togetherness and find out if love is truly enough…

Two dominant men, one beautiful woman. Jace Austin knows he doesn’t have what you’d call a conventional relationship with Evan and Andre, but it works. Boy, does it work—until Evan starts acting strangely and Andre’s ex-fiancée pops back into his life, unbalancing a perfectly happy threesome. Jace is forced to face the unthinkable: that the two people he cares most about in this world are in danger of slipping away from him.

So Jace plans a surprise getaway to a secluded mountain cabin for the three of them. And he knows exactly what he needs to do: give both his lovers a fantasy week they’ll never forget. And the possibilities for pleasure are endless. But when they get snowed in and the heat between them reaches a fever pitch, secrets come out. And Evan has one that could change all their lives forever.

 My Forever Starts Tonight Review ...

Let's start with, Roni Loren knows how to write erotica.

In Melt Into You we were left with a HEA but with some questions of the security of their relationship since triads are not the society norms.  Here we get to delve deeper into the beauty that is Jace, Evan & Andre.  It may not be conventional but it so works for these three. 

Even between the three of them they don't have the security that they need for the long haul of their relationship.  With this uncertainty Jace organizes a trip so they can reconnect and cement their relationship for the future.  This little trip had many emotional ups and downs for this triad but it also had loads of steam coming from the pages.  This was the push they needed to have their forever HEA and what a push it was.  I absolutely love this series.  If you are looking for strong men, BDSM tendencies and loads of steam then this series is the ticket.

Melt into You (Loving on the Edge #2)

by Roni Loren (Goodreads Author)

Her first love has returned, and he's brought a friend... 
After running away from home and the boy who broke her heart, Evan Kennedy has kick-started the perfect new life with her celebrity fiancé. So what if said fiancé prefers guys? She knew the deal when they got engaged. And with her ticket to The Ranch, an exclusive resort where any fantasy can be satisfied, she can find someone to fulfill her less-than-traditional desires on the side.

She just never expected that man to be Jace Austin, her old heart-breaker—all grown up, hard-bodied, and holding out a collar. She knows it’s a world-class bad idea—especially since Jace has brought along his buddy Andre, who’s every bit as irresistible. But if they can stick to the no-strings rules, so can she.

Too bad Jace has never been so good with rules. Evan is convinced “forever” is a word used only in greeting cards, but Jace and Andre have one last fantasy of hers left to fulfill. It’s time to go big or go home. And neither man has ever been a fan of going home.

My Melt Into You Review ...

It has been awhile since I read a Roni Loren book and I can kick myself for that dumb mistake.  I have been craving some strong sexy alpha men and here we get not one but two men.  This book may be erotica but it is so much more.  There is so much growth and love between these characters that it turns the story to so much then you were bargaining for.  

Evan has demons and a haunting depression that can be debilitating at times.  She owes it to her fiance to help her out of this hole and she will give him anything even if that means being a beard for his public persona.  With this sacrifice Evan starts to realize that she is missing more than she thought was missing.  With the help of her fiance and his lover they convince her get her needs met at the 'ranch' where she comes face to face with her past and her inner desires and needs that she didn't know existed.  Being a new natural submissive is exactly what friends Jace and Andre want but can they keep this a sex only relationship when there is a history with Jace and Evan.

After the first time all three realize that there is a connection that can't be denied so Jace and Andre try convince Evan to want more.  As they explore their new relationship Jace and Andre are forced to deal with their own feelings that may go beyond friendship, while Evan is thrown back into reality with her loyalty and commitment to her fiance.

This journey is not just sexual exploration for Evan but for her to find herself along the way, and what better way to do that with two beautiful sexy men.  Great story with loads of scorching heat that will make you melt.
