KATI don’t beg.
I don’t cry.
And I don’t give second chances.
Ream, the lead guitarist of the rock band Tear Asunder, deserves a gold medal for best dick move ever when he ran the moment he discovered my secret after two days of hot sex. Then he brings some chick to my coming home party from the hospital—after being shot.
I hate him.
Until …
Ream’s six foot two frame unfolds out of the car after being gone on tour for eight months. I stared. And in my defense, any girl would stare. It would almost be rude not to because Ream was the type of guy who stood out. Not because he was loud and obnoxious. No, it was because he was the complete opposite. Subtle and dangerously quiet. If he spoke, you’d better hope he liked you because otherwise you’d be falling at his feet begging for mercy. Except me … I don’t beg—ever.
But when our eyes locked, it was Ream’s steady confidence that had my nerves shooting off like jet sprinklers.
Then…
Ream told me he didn’t need a second chance because he was still working on his first.
REAM
Sex is ugly. It’s using someone for your own narcissistic pleasure. I did it and I hated it—until her. She was unfuckinexpected. Then I had to wreck our beginning with my screwed up past.
I don’t deserve her, but I’m selfish and I’m taking her anyway. This is who I am and it’s too late to change me.
*Warning contains violence, sexual content, and coarse language. Mature audiences 18+*
A contemporary romance with lots of angst and a taste of dark.
My Review:
My rating: 5 of 5 starsOverwhelmed by You by Nashoda Rose is the second full-length novel in her Tear Asunder series. After reading the novella prequel (With You) and then the first book (Torn from You) I was expecting darkness. I didn't expect the majority of the darkness to be on Ream's side. A tragic and horrific past makes him cold, distant and shit-off until he meets Kat and sparks fly. There's something about her that chases away his darkness and lets him finally begin to enjoy the physical closeness of being with someone instead of making it a simple body function and moving on.
Kat is bottled up tight and keeping a secret, from everyone except Matt (her brother) who already knows. It's a doozy of a secret and not one you'd expect but she worries about being treated differently because of it and so stays silent. When Ream finds out by complete accident he takes time away to process the information and Kat shuts him out seeing his reaction as she fears it to be. They spend a good long while being hateful to each other and we've seen this happen in the periphery of Torn from You.
When Ream's past takes a dangerous leap into Kat's life the poop hits the fan and all hell breaks loose.
A powerful romance that I couldn't put down. Some of the timelines seemed a little vague/confusing but I wanted to know so much more of the characters and their actions that it's only a minor grumble.
I want more of these guys.
