Review ~ Overwhelmed by You by Nashoda Rose with a giveaway

Synopsis:

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.

My Thoughts:

This book was a great stand alone read but I wish that I'd read the other two before reading this one. The only bright spot to not reading them yet is that I can get the print copy with both books in one. :-)

Overwhelmed by you had many an issue. The leading lady suffered from a medical issue but she tried to hide it from everyone lest they think she was weak or pity her.

The leading man, Ream, he had issues stemming from things that he was made to do in his early teens. Those things left him feeling dirty and broken.

What strength you can find when you let someone in! That is one of the lessons that both of these characters learn.

This is not your mama's romance. There are a few scenes that some may find disturbing. I felt for Ream and all that he suffered. The scenes are written well and I think most people would be able to read them without any difficulty. There are also many swear words uttered. This fits with the characters well. In addition there is a lot of steam and dirty talk too! ;-) 

I found this book to be engaging. I had a hard time walking away from it. There were many surprises in addition to the main plot. I was emotional a few times while reading it, my adrenaline was pumping through some of the situations, and above all I rooted for the main characters to get their HEA.

This book wasn't overwhelming but it was all encompassing. I would recommend it to those of you who like your lead characters to have issues, bad boys, rock stars, or books that will keep you on your toes guessing what will happen next. If you happen to like all of the previously mentioned scenarios, then you will not want to miss this book as it covers all of them.

I received an ecopy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. I thought it was edgy, gripping, raw, and hot! What a combination, whew! ;-) I can not wait to read the two previous books and the next one out too! I am totally hooked!
