SYNOPSIS
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.
*Warning: This book
contains some disturbing situations, strong language and sexual content. Over
18 years.
This is a love story
with some dark elements. No cliffhanger and next in the Tear Asunder series is
Ream's story.

PURCHASE With You TODAY!!!!
SYNOPSIS
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’d been bucked off horses, kicked and stepped on. 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.
Then I tried to stop it.
I failed of course. And having a hot, tattooed badass on top of me week after week, acting cool and completely immune to what he was doing to my body—it was frustrating as hell, 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 extra and not required to be read before “Torn from You”. Their story and what happens to them is the novel “Torn from You”.
*Warning* Huge cliff-hanger. Like huge! But “With You” and “Torn from You” are released on the same day.*
►►► LORIE'S REVIEW ◄◄◄
Before
I talk about With You/Torn From You, I need to give those who do not speak
Boston slang a lesson. According to the
Urban dictionary, in Boston when you need to describe something as being really
awesome you say it's wicked pisser. (pronounced piss-ah) For example, The Sox game last night was wicked pisser. (End of lesson.)
With
You/Torn From You is WICKED PISSER!!!!!
Holy
hell! Mother F****N loved every single
minute, word, paragraph, page of this insanely wicked fantastic book. I expected good, but NOTHING like this! I seriously could not have picked a better
book to end the year with!
It’s
no secret that I love my dark reads, but this was a difficult one for me. I would have read with my eyes closed if it
was possible. I have never ever been
squeamish with a dark read like this before; this was just so intense. Especially the beginning – it was so nerve
wracking. This is not a page-turner, it’s
a nail-biter. I was torn between reading
this in one sitting and taking a break.
I really wanted to know what happens, but I also needed a break from all
the intensity. There are some terrible,
horrible, and shocking things that happen.
Just when I thought I knew what was going to happen, there was an unexpected
twist. Torn From You is filled with
twists, turns, and WTF moments.
This
book is what you think it is, then it’s not, then it is, then it’s not……. so it’s
very easy to ruin it by talking plot and story line. The plot and story line are what make this
such a FANTABULOUS read! The book blurb
tells you everything you need to know.
What happens after that point, well…. that’s the whole point of reading
the book, and I am not saying a single word about it.
But,
I will say…..
This
book will have your heart beating out of your chest, panting for air, and
burning from the anticipation. The
feelings Nashoda elicits from the reader are unreal. She has created the perfect
@&^%@&$#^$^#! Logan is a total
and utter a-hole. And, I don’t mean
conceited and full of himself, I mean full out A-S-S-H-O-L-E. I hated him and wanted to scratch his eyes
out, but I couldn’t bring myself to not want the shit out of him at the same
time. I want him! I want him!
I want him! I want him –
BAD!
The
entire cast of characters is amazing, and the story is well developed. While there isn’t a cliffhanger for Logan and
Emily, there is one for Ream and Kat. I
thought I was totally wrapped up in Logan and Emily’s story, but with the
story line that Nashoda started for Ream and Kat has me sitting on the edge of
my seat waiting (impatiently) for Overwhelmed
by You.
Sooooooooo……..
the BIG question. Do you read the
novella (With You) first or after Torn
From You? Well, the author says
either. Torn From You is a standalone and With You is the story of how
Emily and Logan met before the events of Torn From You. I read the novella first. Personally, I feel you really must read With You first. It helped me figure out why some of what
happened in Torn From You did before
it was exactly spelled out. Torn From You was so intense (for me at
least) I’m not sure I could have made it to the end without reading the novella
first. The novella gave me some peace of
mind (if you could even call it that) when I was reading Torn From You. BUT, if you
are someone that likes a mystery and a ton (and I mean piles and piles) of
angst and heart attack inducing torment, then by all means read the novella
last – LOL.
4.75 STARS!!!!! (near perfection!)

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
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 novel “Torn from You” is the first in the Tear Asunder series. 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.
FUN FACTS ABOUT NASHODA
● On
Valentine’s Day when I was fourteen my dad was taking me out for dinner and
instead drove up the driveway of a horse farm. There in the field was a big
chestnut horse with a pink bow around his neck. It said, ‘To my daughter on
Valentine’s Day Love Dad.’ I had my horse Sunny for twenty years.
● I
was eating chicken wings one day and suddenly I stopped, put it down and never
touched meat again for 19yrs.
● My
mom used to give me what looked like the ‘bowl’ haircut when I was a kid. UGH.
● I
cut off a police officer making a left hand turn when I was 16 years old. He
wasn’t happy and gave me a reckless driving charge.
● Really
rare…my horse Nash was born a twin out in my back field.
● I can make the best French Onion soup and grilled cheese, but that’s about it.
● I’ve
had my hands inside my Newfie’s and Yorkie’s abdomens. Yep, I assisted in
spaying them and did all their sutures.
● I’m
terrified of flying. I mean completely petrified. I had to go to the hospital
before one flight because I was so stressed out my jaw locked shut. I still fly
as I never want it to stop me from enjoying life, but damn it sucks.
● I hand raised several baby raccoons over the years for my work. One of them never
left. I named him Buddy and had him for seven years. He had a cat door in my
window to leave whenever he wanted. He never did. Buddy slept in bed with me,
loved to have a shower, opened the fridge and cleaned the cats. Also, he used a
litter box. Buddy died of a kidney tumor ten years ago and I still miss him to
this day (But I never want another one, LOL).
●I
did my course for dog Massage Therapy.
● I
went to boarding school for two years and loved it. I also worked there in the
summers looking after the horses as it was also a camp.
● I’m
not a shopper. Don’t like trying on clothes or shoes or looking for that
perfect outfit. But I do love purses.
● I
smashed my car into a hydro pole when I was in my late teens. The wires fell on
my car and I was so scared I jumped out. A big big no no. The cop couldn’t
figure out how I was still alive. When she looked down at my feet, she saw I
was wearing rain boots. They saved my life.
● When
I’m feeling down, I buy a fish. A live fish. Currently, I have three fish tanks
at work and three at home.
●Writing
about men with tattoos has made me want one, so I’ve finally decided on the
perfect image to get on my side. A calligraphy style horse head.
● I
have a scar on my left leg from a German Sheppard bite and another running the
length of my right outer thigh from a coat hanger sticking out of a garbage
bag.
● I
love to try to fix everything myself. So, I was re-flooring my spare bedroom
and ripping out the old carpeting when the X-Acto knife slipped and went
straight into my upper thigh.
● Never
been married. Just haven’t met the guy I want to spend the rest of my life
with. Oh well, book boyfriends are hot. Bonus…I can make my own book
boyfriends.
● I’d
rather swallow a box of nails then do any kind of public speaking.
● I
have a Red-footed Tortoise named ‘Bucket’.
