A Top 50 Amazon TitleThere’s nothing like getting caught in the middle of an FBI raid to change your life… enough to wake anyone up. With his dark chocolate eyes and commanding ways, Gabby can’t resist. And between battling criminals, flooded basements, fantasy football drafts, and her crazy Italian family, Jude also finds himself unable to resist her charms.
That doesn’t mean he isn’t wrestling feelings he hasn’t allowed in years. Nightmares that are his reality have paralyzed him from living a full life. Yet, he can’t help himself when it comes to her and Jude moves in to watch over Gabby.
But just when life seems to be settling down, demons surface from the past. Horrific ones that carry a vengeance so evil, no one saw them coming.

I love all of Brynne Asher’s books. The heroines are usually hilarious and the Heroes are over the top Alpha and protective of “their” women. There’s drama and suspense, and some good old fashioned lovin’. This is the first book in her Carpino Series, but I highly recommend everyone read all of her books.
Love to have Gabby as my decorator as her attention to detail is fantastic but Jude would need to come along to help or just be eye candy.
Gabrielle and Jude
I love reading Brynne’s alpha, they’re so bossy but charming. I totally swoon over Jude like hello and I love Gabby her rambling were hilarious. I love reading the Carpino family
I had never heard of Brynne Asher or the Carpino series before last week, but when it was mentioned that it has some similar family qualities to Kristen Proby’s series, I looked into it. There’s no better feeling than being pleasantly surprised by how much you enjoyed a book, and Overflow did that for me!
Gabby finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time, thus getting frisked by the FBI. Agent Jude Ortiz, to be specific. He feels protective of her from the start, and wanting to protect her, finds himself inundated with her overwhelming Italian family. The chemistry is obvious between Gabby and Jude, and before long, things heat up.
I am so happy that I found this series! It was well-written with great characters (although I’m still trying to keep the cousins and their kids straight) and the plot was paced perfectly. I can’t wait to read the next books in this series!

I’m definitely on the fence with how descriptive everything is, especially in the beginning when I’m trying to connect with the characters. The chemistry between Gabby and Jude was great and definitely made me fall in love as they did.
Just when I thought the drama would be over, there were twists thrown in. They made for an exciting romance and I’m glad I picked up this HEA.
3rd read audiobook review: This book has stood the test of time for me. Jude and Gabby are still one of my favorite couples. I really enjoyed the audiobook version this time around. I’m sure I’ll re-read this many times to come.
2nd Read: This was just as good the second time. Man do I love Jude!
1st Read: I loved this book! I’m thrilled when I find a book with my type of Hero and Jude was pretty darn perfect in my eyes. He’s the strong silent type as well as dominant, bossy and protective.
I loved that the author paired him with Gabby. She was very girly, but not in an annoying way and she had a tendency to ramble. The way Jude handled Gabby was entertaining and showed off his sweet side.
The story line was so entertaining that I just devoured this book. It also had some really great side characters and an epilogue that will just melt your heart. I’m very happy to see there are more standalone books to the series. I really liked every character we met in Overflow and can’t wait to see some of them get their own book.
Editing could be improved and I had some nitpicks that kept me from loving it but I want to read the next one so….
Loved loved love!!!!! Haven’t read anything bad from this author! Can’t wait to read more in this series!!!
Hi Loved this book gave the title to others to read . Thank you
I rarely give 5 stars to books that I have read, but this is an outstanding example of the type of book that appeals to me. It has heart, drama, a crazy but supportive family, and a happy ending. Well Done!
After reading “A Killers” Series, I now have Brynne Asher on my radar! I love her style of writing and how she mixes in these super sexy alpha protective guys with their perfect match. I love how Jude and Gabby COMMUNICATE!! Sometimes it drives me nuts when I read a book and the characters lack communication and then shit hits the fan. Ugh!! This was a great book and I really enjoyed each and every page!!!
This book was a great start to this series. Gabby and Jude have great chemistry. They both have lost people close to them and deserve to be happy. I love Jude, he’s bossy without being an over the top controlling jerk. He is perfect for Gabby.
New Author To Me.
This book was recommended by a book buddy and she never disappoints. It’s not our normal romcom, but there’s plenty of humor to keep me happy. It is a little dramatic at times and our hero can be too domineering but I still enjoyed this story.
Gabby is a decorator and is caught up in an FBI raid at her school friends house, where she was finishing a job. She gets a thorough pat down from the sexy agent. It is an insta connection that leads on to discoveries about themselves and their families.
Next up is cousin Tony and Gabby’s close friend Leigh.
I liked the plot. It kept moving and never stalled. I love the heroine and her family! The hero was a smoking alpha.
Action packed and very steamy read. Carpino family were overbearing and amazing. Great friendships and a happily ever after guaranteed.
Jude and Gabby’s story touched so many pieces of my heart and left it overflowing with satisfaction.
I loved how Jude and Gabby met and how even without both of them getting the true significance of it, from that first moment in each other’s presence, that was it for the both of them. I loved the family connections/drama and how family matters – and not all family is blood. I loved experiencing Gabby’s insecurities and working through her grief with her. I loved the moments of peace and easy mixed in with havoc and tension. I loved how everything fell together and they worked through the hurt and their pasts. I adored how Jude treated Gabby and refused to lose her to anything.
**fav quotes**
She’s only been mine for five days and that’s exactly what she is as of right now. Mine.
So, quit asking me if I’m gonna come to you at the end of the day, because as long as this is good, I plan on coming to you.
Baby, watch out. You prance your sweet ass out here in that little thing, I’m comin’ after you.
“Who’s that?” I whisper. “That’s my dad. Come on, I’ll introduce you. Trust me, he’s not nearly as overwhelming as your family.”

Mixing up a great blend of laughter and love, family and friends, sweet and steamy, Overflow is a beautiful love story that’ll settle into your heart.
LOVED this book! I immediately re-read it after finishing it. Jude is an awesome H. 1st in a short series – i’m partway through book 2 and enjoying it.
While there were definitely things I didn’t expect in this book, overall, I loved it. Jude is the type of hero I adore, protective and possessive. Gabby is pure girl and tends to ramble on. Together they were pretty perfect, sweet and sexy. With the addition of some wonderful secondary characters, I can’t wait for more in the series.
The book that started it all! Love this series (although the Killers series is my favorite). I enjoyed it very much.
Overflow is the first book from Brynne Asher that I read and I absolutely adored Gabby and Jude. Their first meeting was so memorable and one of my favorite H/h meetings of all times.
From the start Gabby and Jude go for one intense relationship ride. Gabby has a huge family and Jude is Alpha enough to fit right in. Jude was so patient with Gabby and breaking down her walls.
This is one of my favorite books to read and reread over and over again.
