Torn From You - Review

Image
Torn From You (Tear Asunder #1) By: Nashoda Rose Published: December 18, 2013 by Cindy Paterson 280 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Love is like an avalanche. It hits hard, fast and without mercy.  At least it did for me when Sculpt, the lead singer of the rock band Tear Asunder knocked me off my feet. Literally, because he’s also a fighter, illegally of course, and he taught me how to fight. He also taught me how to love and I fell hard for him. I mean the guy could do sweet, when he wasn't doing bossy, and I like sweet.  Then it all shattered.  Kidnapped.  Starved.  Beaten.  I was alone and fighting to survive.  When I heard Sculpt's voice, I thought he was there to save me.  I was wrong.  (It is recommended to read "With You" the novella first, however not necessary).  *Warning: This book contains some disturbing situations, strong language and sexual content.

With You - Novella Review

Image
With You (Tear Asunder 0.5) By: Nashoda Rose Published: December 20, 2013 by Smashwords Edition 65 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library (FREEBIE!) ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Sculpt is an illegal fighter. He’s also the lead singer of a local rock band. No one knows his real name. And from the moment I met him, he made me forget mine. In order to convince Sculpt to give me self-defense lessons, I had to follow his one rule—no complaining or he’d walk. I didn’t think it would be a problem. I could handle a few bruises. What I hadn’t anticipated was landing on my back with Sculpt on top of me and my entire body burning up for him. I tried to ignore it. I failed of course. And having a hot, tattooed bad*** on top of me week after week, acting completely immune to what he was doing to my body—it was frustrating, so I broke his rule—I complained. Then he kissed me. Author’s Note: This novella is Sculpt and Emily’s beginning and how they met. It is an ex...

He's stubborn, rigid, and bossy. And he's returned from his final tour of duty more than a little broken. Rome's used to filling many roles: big brother, doting son, supersoldier—but none of those fit anymore.
