Overwhelmed by You by Nashoda Rose ~ BLOG TOUR STOP, REVIEW & GIVEAWAY

Love is ugly and secrets will destroy you.

KAT I don’t beg. I don’t cry. And I don’t give second chances. Ream, the lead guitarist from the 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, unable to help myself. 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 had pink hair or shouted or was 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 confident cold indifference 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.

By the end of Torn From You by Nashoda Rose it was apparent that there were some definite issues between Kat and Ream making the anticipation for Overwhelmed By You close to unbearable. I was, however, in no way expecting the abundance of obstacles these two would have to face both individually and as a couple. Overwhelmed By You is SO much more than you could ever imagine. It is involved, consuming, and action packed with a new revelation around every corner.

Sculpt was one fine specimen and his relationship with Emily was truly something special, but although I will probably always have a soft spot for Sculpt, Kat and Ream stole my heart. Even when you think you know what is going on with Kat, it turns out to be so much more complicated than it appears. And Ream. Who knew Ream would be so damaged? Ream is a whole world of hurt wrapped up in one pretty package. These two are passionate, to say the least, the only way a couple with this many complications could muddle through and overcome, making for some smoking chemistry, heated disagreements, and a love that burns so bright it's practically blinding.

I love surprises and there are so many layers to this story, you never even come close to figuring it all out until the very end. With an astonishing number of twists and turns, it is completely unpredictable, totally shocking, and utterly exhausting in the best possible way.

I love the direction that this story took and the direction it has led the series in. I didn't expect a single disclosure or turn of events in this story and I certainly never expected to love this one even more than the first, but I just couldn't help falling hard for Overwhelmed By You. I cannot wait to read Crisis' story. It is bound to be fun, entertaining, and based on the first two books, completely surprising.

Nashoda Rose lives in Toronto with her assortment of pets. She writes contemporary romance with a splash of darkness, or maybe it’s a tidal wave. Her novella "With You" is the first in the Tear Asunder series, followed by the novel "Torn from You" and "Overwhelmed by You". When she isn’t writing, she can be found sitting in a field reading with her dog at her side while her horses graze nearby. She loves interacting with her readers on Facebook and chatting about her addiction—books.
