Synopsis
“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.
Note: Although this is series, each novel can be read as a stand alone.

My Review:
" Don't even pretend you don't see that prime cut of meat. I'm quitting food and becoming a manivore."
Where do I even begin?? I'm speechless! Completely and utterly speechless. I've been sitting here for quite some time trying to figure out what exactly to type and how to handle all the emotions I'm feeling right now. Only For You was eye opening to say the least.
BOOK HANGOVER!!!! I'm in desperate need of a fix, that I have a feeling only Pieces For You can fix. That's book two in this amazing series if you haven't figured that one out yet. I cried, laughed, learned, got pissed, got nauseated, smiled, wanted to fling my kindle across the room...several feelings and emotions took over me while reading this book. Genna did an amazing job at captivating the audience. I honestly couldn't turn the pages fast enough, I was so sucked into this story. I absolutely LOVED the characters. Everleigh, Hunter, Sam, and Griffin.
" Well there go my plans for picking up random hitchhikers this weekend. Newsflash--I have appointed you the 'sober friend.' I'll order your tee shirt as soon as I get home...or perhaps an embroidered sash would be better highlight your status."
Everleigh is a coffee genius and addict. Yup, you might of thought you were the world's biggest coffee addict, NOPE...Ev has got you beat. Lol. I loved the relationship Ev and Sam have. I could only wish to have a friendship as strong as that. You can't help but smile when you read the banter between them. One word hilarious!
So here's the thing...Only For You covers a very sensitive subject. There is death, raping, abuse, grief, and pain. If you can't handle those kinds of things then DON'T read!!! If you can handle that kind of subject then please DO read this book. It's truly awe-inspiring and amazing!! (Hopefully those are the right words) I'm honestly finding it very hard to find the words to describe this book. I loved it and can't wait to get more of the story next month.
" I loved coffee the way a sommelier loved wine, the way Bill Clinton loved an intern; I k new I wanted my own business, where the fruits of my labor benefited me directly."
Everleigh and Sam attend Hensley a college in Suffolk County. They are in their senior year and are ready to start their futures. Everleigh wants to have a future in business and coffee. Her and Sam are best friends who have been by each others side since childhood. They can't be separated. At their college there have been some attacks on girls. Them getting beat pretty badly, all the girls are terrified and are constantly having to look over their shoulders in fear of being the next victim. To help try and keep their minds at ease Hensley is providing some self defense classes. Sam forces Everleigh to go, but that day changes her life forever. You see she meets Hunter...Oh Hunter. **swooning** Things don't exactly start off great, but Everleigh apologizes and things actually turn into a great friendship. Their is TONS and I mean TONS of Angst. It's amazing though, I see myself re-reading this book. I won't go much into the plot because I don't want to spoil anything. Just know it's an amazing story with suspense, love, longing, and sadness. Will the Hensley Hunter be found?? Read to find out.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU PICK UP THIS BOOK AND READ IT YOURSELF!
I wish I could say more and have someone to discuss this story with, but currently I can't. So once you read it how about you contact me so we can chit chat about it. Heck we can swoon over Hunter together if you'd like. Even though I'd love to keep him all to myself. Lol. Geez I'm such a book whore.
I rate Only For You 5 amazing Stars!
Thank you so much Genna for a read that will stick with me for the rest of my life. Words can't describe... Thank you!
" I love you, with everything I am. My heart beats for you...only for you."
" Some people believe the strongest will cling through the storm with steadfast determination never wavering, but sometimes the strength is in letting go."
