Real by Katy Evans

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Damn damn damn....I need more. I can't believe it's over!!!
Review to come!

5 stars - hands down!! Remy is mine - everyone else BACK OFF!!
I was sold on Remy after 2% into the book. A hot underground fighter as a hero in a romance novel! Hell yeah!
"My.
God.
Dimples.
Dark scruffy jaw.
Boyish smile. Man's body.
Killer Tan."

"He's mesmerizingly perfect and incredibly hard. Everything, from his beautifully slim hips and narrow waist to his broad shoulders, is solid. And that six-pack. No. It's an eight pack. The sexy V of his obliques dips into his satin, navy blue shorts, which gently hug his powerful legs, thick with muscle. I can see his quads, traps, pecs, and biceps, all gloriously tight and cut. Celtic tattoos circle both of his arms, exactly where his bulging biceps and the rigid square deltoid of his shoulders meet." Now...if that doesn't get your attention, I don't know what will. A perfectly described man.
From the very beginning I knew this story was going to be different than the rest. Yes, he's rich, hot, has issues - but this story has a whole different spin on it. I LOVED it. Can't say it enough. There was so much sexual tension that I couldn't stand it for Brooke. I really thought she was going to explode. Also, it made me wonder why he's holding off on her. She begged him several times and yet he still denied her, but said stuff like this.
"When I take you, you'll be mine." And "I want you to know me first, and then, I want you to let me know if you still want me to take you." Holy cow! Definitely some deep issues. He doesn't have the self confidence enough for her to love him if she finds out the real him.

After Brooke begging Remy again he finally snaps:
"Why'd you want to have sex with me? To have a fucking adventure? What was I supposed to be? Your one-night-fucking stand? I'm every woman's adventure, damn you, and I don't want to be yours. I want to be your fucking REAL. You get that? If I fuck you, I want you to belong to me. To be mine. I want you to give yourself to me - not Riptide!"
Wow! I never got the feeling she wanted to bang Riptide. She never came off as star struck or a squealing teenage girl. She genuinely wanted him for him the whole time.

All of the different songs referenced in the book made the book so much better. I really connected with the love they had for each other. Each and every song mentioned I stopped reading (as hard as it was) You Tubed the video with the lyrics and reflected. The characters came so alive with the lyrics. AHMAZING!! There is so much more to say about this book...I can't even put it all into words. Nora, Mel, Riley, Pete aka Pedro. All great supporting characters. Can't wait for Mel's book!'n she cracks me up!! I love her!!! I have high hopes for it!! Also NEED MORE REMY AND BROOKE!!!

I am still on a Remy high and don't know when I'll come down or if I want to!
