Our Fictional Boyfriends: Blog Tour + Review/Giveaway: Torn from You by Nashoda Rose

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.
Tied up like a piece of meat then whipped.
I was alone and fighting to survive.
When I heard Sculpt's voice, I thought he was there to save me. I was wrong. Sculpt was there to break me.

*Warning: This book contains some disturbing situations, strong language and sexual content.

No cliffhanger and next in the Tear Asunder series is Ream's story (the band's lead guitarist).

Our Review:

4 Stars

This book is most definitely a good read. I came in a little skeptical considering the comparisons made between this books lead male character and Caleb but this book definitely delivered.

Emily is a young scarred woman with a dream of helping horses who have been mistreated or have some sort of emotional issue. She lives with her best friend Kat and Kats brother Matt. They took her in and have treated her as family showing her the love that her mother never gave her.

Sculpt is an enigma to every one not many people know anything about him not even his name. He's strong resilient scary looking and drop dead gorgeous. He also happens to be a top fighter in the underground fighting scene and the lead singer of an amazing band. His secrets and past cone back in the worst way and the person who has to feel the pain is the one person who he has opened his heart to, Emily.

I definitely would read With You a novella that tells us about how Sculpt and Emily met but Torn From You is a stand alone book. This book is definitely worth reading a band, hot band members, underground fighting, sex slaves, kidnapping, pain, trauma, heartbreak the list goes on and on. Aside from falling in love with the two main characters you will also fall in love with the people around them and their relationships with one another. I look forward to reading more about all the characters in this book, you should too.

I looked at Logan, my body beginning to shake as I realized wherever we were was not a place I wanted to be. His hands gripped the steering wheel so tight that his knuckles turned white, and I could hear the leather crack beneath the pressure. It scared me. No, it terrified me.

He got out of the car as did the two men in the back, and I sat with my knees to my chest watching as he spoke to them and nod toward the house. Both men disappeared inside, and Logan stared at me through the windshield. It was like he was unable to move, his body stiff and looking every bit the fierce fighter, not the gentle rock star who wrote me a song I never had the chance to hear.

He strode toward me, and I wanted to disappear into the leather seat. I couldn’t control the trembling, and it made me angry that Logan would see it. I wanted to be tough, to have him feel nothing but anger from me, but the panic treading across my body was too overpowering.

The door flung open. “Out.”

It took me several tries to unclip my seatbelt, because my hands were shaking so badly. When I finally did, he snagged my forearm and pulled me out. “Do exactly as I say.” His voice was low as he spoke. “Don’t look at anyone. Eyes down at all times, and do not speak unless asked a question.”

“Where are we? Logan? Please why are you doing this to me?” I couldn’t help it. The words tumbled from my mouth in quick succession. What little connection I felt he tried to make shattered the moment Logan grabbed me by both shoulders and shook me.

“Don’t you get it yet, Emily? Raul owns you. He’s ruthless, and he’ll break you down, torture you, and when you beg him for mercy he’ll torture you some more.” His bruising fingers tightened, and I winced. “Do not fuck this up.”

I broke. I couldn’t help it, and I hated myself for falling so low as to let him or anyone else see me do it, but for that one second I let the fear take hold of me as I said, “I’m scared.”

Logan stared at me with eyes that were cold, dark, and without a spark of . . . anything. “You should be.”
