Hi
everyone, I am pleased to be able to participate in the ONLY FOR YOU book tour
hosted by author, Genna Rulon.
Title: Only For You
Author: Genna Rulon
Series: For You #1
Published: September 24, 2013
Category: New Adult
Genre: Contemporary Romance
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 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 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.

Excerpt:
As I approached, Hunter rose to greet me, gallantly appropriating my
tray to place it on the table. He dramatically pulled out my chair and
assisted me as I sat. I appreciated gentility as much as the next girl,
but the whole scene struck me as abnormal.
“Care to tell me what that was about?” I distrustfully queried.
“I was merely practicing proper etiquette.” The twinkle in his
eyes belied his innocent excuse.
“You were trying to call attention to our matching faux pas, weren’t
you?”
“I will neither confirm nor deny.”
“Ass,” I muttered beneath my breath.
“That is the second time you have called me an asshole,” Hunter said
sternly.
“I have never called you an asshole—to your face—I simply left a trail
of breadcrumbs from which you could deduce my meaning.”
“Ah ha. You finally admit that our song is ‘Sweet As Hole’.”
“I will neither confirm nor deny,” I said, mocking his earlier
statement.
“It was exceptionally ingenious of you.”
“I know, right?”
I caught his smile and realized my mistake. He had tricked me, and
I confessed the song I had insulted him with.
“Dammit, Hunter. How do you always outmaneuver me? They
should have you interrogate suspected terrorists. You would trick them
into revealing their evil plot every time.”
“Nah, terrorism isn’t my specialty.” He winked before suddenly
whistling, “That is some lunch you have there.”
“I’m as hungry as the bear I just spent the last hour pretending to
be. A salad was not going to tame my ravenous need. Besides, who am
I trying to impress?”
“Not me, that’s for sure,” he answered quickly with synthetic sorrow.
“Here I thought you were a martial arts instructor. Are you
moonlighting as a comedian?”
“Martial arts is my moonlighting gig,” he paused as if weighing his
words. “Where is Sam?”
“I’m not sure. She planned to join us.” I searched the
dining room and saw her at the cashier with Robbie beside her. “There she
is, her new guy Robbie is with her. Don’t ruin it for her by—just try not
to be yourself for a little while.”
“You are a cruel woman, Everleigh.”
