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 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
Five “I was totally Overwhelmed” stars
After being throughly ripped apart, churned up and spat back out by Logan/Sculpt and Emily’s intense story I so badly needed to read Ream and Kat’s story! And boy I wasn’t disappointed!
Holy crap – the beginning of Overwhelmed By You has you gripped front he beginning and as both of Kat and Ream’s back sores re revealed you cannot help but be totally affected once again! Nashoda has pulled it off again and although I loved Sculpt and Emily, you cannot help but be drawn into the intricacies of the reasons behind why Kat and Ream act as they do.
Ream, where do I start?! My god I just want to cuddle him and tell him its all going to be ok! He is fierce in his devotion to those he cares for and loves. He wants Kat and without spoiling the story, the reason why he walks way from her to begin with is absolutely heartbreaking, especially when you hear both sides of the story. You know the man is damaged but just quite by how much and for what reasons absolutely ripped me to shreds! And the ending to his story (and by that I don’t mean any HEA he may or may not forge with Kat) is just twist I NEVER saw coming! His devotion to Kat is adorable (thats too soppy a word for Ream I know but he actually melted my heart at the end!). You can’t help but be left with a feeling that he “gets it” about Kat and that sort of connection really made me feel good about him!
The twist in the tale with Kat was also a total shock and hearing her side of things really breaks your heart too. I was mildly frustrated with her and her secrecy, however, I also got why she was hiding things from everybody too! Her story is a big path to self acceptance and also sees her growing and accepting that she doesn’t have to face things alone! Whether that be with Ream or not, she still realises that hiding herself isn’t the way to live her life and her issues don’t have to define who she is!
I also loved the fact that you get a glimpse of Emily and Logan and their lives on the sidelines. Its a lovely continuation of their story as well as developing Kat and Ream too. I really adore Matt too and his utter devotion to Kat and shouldering her issues as well as being her stand in parental figure too. He sooo needs is own story too (Hint hint!).
I cannot wait for the new series (Unyielding) which starts with Deck and Georgie’s story!
FIVE STARS!!! Well done Nashoda for pulling another great book out of the bag!
