Pieces For You by Genna RulonMy rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
Samantha Whitney has suffered the kind of physical and mental torture that anyone would struggle to recover from. She has returned home after spending some time in a healing facility, but now she has to face the realities of life while struggling to put the pieces of herself back together. Her best friend Everleigh is right there with her along with Hunter and their friend Griffen to support her in any way she needs, but Sam longs to feel like her former independent confident self and not have everyone constantly worrying about her. Griffen has been in love with Samantha for years, but before he could make a move she was dating someone else, and then tragedy struck. He never stopped feeling like she was the one for him, but he was willing to wait for her in the role of supportive friend as long as she needed.
Sam works hard to put herself back together and move forward in her life in a healthy way. Griffen quickly starts stirring feelings in her that she was afraid she would never be able to feel again, but she is scared of getting into a relationship that could trigger her having flashbacks of the severe trauma she experienced. As Griffen stands by willing to be there for Sam in whatever way she needs, she finds herself falling deeper and deeper in love with him. He's beyond hot, smart, and incredibly devoted to making her feel safe. Unfortunately, some new threats and terrors bring more tension and conflict into Sam's life, and she struggles to handle the new threats and fears on top of managing her past traumatic experiences.
It was wonderful to get to spend more time with these characters. I really missed Hunter and Ev after finishing Only For You and was thrilled to get to see how their relationship was progressing and get a look at them from another character's perspective. Sam just became more amazing to me as I got to know her better and see just how hard she was working to move forward in her life and feel like herself again. She exhibited some serious emotional strength, and it was nice to see how she tried to use her experience to help other people. It was incredibly sad to learn more just how terrible her birth family was, but wonderful to see the family she created for herself. Griffen is just a spectacular man, and I think it would be hard to find much about him that was anything but desirable. This book has solidified me as a Genna Rulon fan and I will be eagerly awaiting anything she writes next (perhaps Meg's story…). Her characters are people that I would love to be friends with, and I highly recommend this book. 4.5 stars!
