After reading and loving Genna Rulon's Pieces For You, I could not wait to get my hands on Meg's story! We met her in the previous novel and I was looking forward to seeing who would be the one to pull her out of her shell. I never imagined it would be Westly Black, who we also previously met.

 

Meg certainly has a story to tell. She keeps people at a distance, as she never knows when she might need to cut off all ties and leave her current life behind. My heart ached for her, as she has some things in her past that she can never escape from. She compares herself to a rotten apple, as she thinks she does nothing but contaminate others around her. Ev, Hunter, Sam, and Griffin have forced their way into her life and refuse to let her isolate herself. They have formed a small family together and their interactions are so heart-warming and the support system they offer one another is so positive and uplifting.

 

Meg and Wes have some history together already, but their history is short-lived, as Wes is a defense lawyer and was involved in Sam's case. Now, he has moved in next door and he still can't get her out of his head. He isn't interested in relationships, preferring the company of women only to satisfy his needs and then move on. With Meg, he is determined to make her his and get her in his bed, so he can move on from the tempting woman he shared a date with previously. Meg is extremely resistant to Wes at first, refusing to let her desires overcome her mind. However, Wes is one persistent man, and with the help of some very meddling friends, ends up getting his way.

 

Meg and Wes have some super hot chemistry together and while neither one is looking for a relationship, they definitely don't lack passion together. The more time spent together, the more they realize they actually enjoy each others' company and being involved in the others' lives. Meg is still holding a lot back from Wes though, so the deeper they fall, the bigger this issue becomes for them to overcome.

 

Meg's past is one that I could never even fathom to understand, not having ever been in a similar situation. I started to have my suspicions about what it was she was running from, but was still really surprised by the big reveal. The detail Rulon goes into is quite impressive and I think she definitely did her research concerning Meg's past.

 

I really enjoy Rulon's stories and I think she has a really fun writing style at the same time she does a serious, emotional one. Sam is always entertaining and I love GriffLo and Huntleigh. I'm glad she is going to have them play a role in the next novel of the series. I am also looking forward to her spin off series that will involve Wes's friend Ry.

 

Overall, I enjoyed Temper For You, and I am glad I had the chance to read this one!
