Overwhelmed 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.
