Real by Katy Evans

Blurb:

A fallen boxer.

A woman with a broken dream.
A competition…

He even makes me forget my name. One night was all it took, and I forgot everything and anything except the sexy fighter in the ring who sets my mind ablaze and my body on fire with wanting…

Remington Tate is the strongest, most confusing man I’ve ever met in my life.

He’s the star of the dangerous underground fighting circuit, and I’m drawn to him as I’ve never been drawn to anything in my life. I forget who I am, what I want, with just one look from him. When he’s near, I need to remind myself that I am strong–but he is stronger. And now it’s my job to keep his body working like a perfect machine, his taut muscles primed and ready to break the bones of his next opponents . . .

But the one he’s most threatening to, now, is me.

I want him. I want him without fear. Without reservations.

If only I knew for sure what it is that he wants from me?

Jo-Anna's Review:

I have been told over and over again to read this book by friends, bloggers, everyone and wow, am I glad I did.

Remington Tate pushed his way to the top of my book boyfriend list and he pushed hard! Remy is broken but not in your typical alpha male kind of way that's in a lot of books. Katy did wonders writing his "issues" and I felt like I was actually experiencing what Brooke did. I also liked that you don't find out his said problem right away. You found out as Brooke found out. It kept you guessing. When you do find out what the problem is, it ALL makes sense and it made you love Remy even more which I didn't even think was possible.

Brooke. Love her. Remy? Holy crap balls batman. The way Katy Evans writes how Brooke feels when she sees Remy for the first time and how she feels through the whole book is written in a way I can't quite explain.

Everytime I watch Silver Lining's Playbook now, I think of Remy and how much I want to just give him a hug and be there for him. Definitely an amazing story and I can't wait to read Mine which I have finally started as well by the way.

Katy Evans is a super nice person and I'm happy to have been introduced to the world of Remy and Brooke!
