Summary (from Goodreads):
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?

Review:
I first found out about this book (OK, about Remy) from the NA Crush Tourney. I was stunned to see someone had beaten Cam—my Cam!—and my curiosity was piqued. Who was this Katy Evans with the hot guy that came out of nowhere to beat someone I was a sure shoe-in to win. One Barnes & Noble download and five hours later and I totally got it.

I have to admit that when I initially started this, I was sure I had Remy and Brooke figured out from the beginning. I hate to say, but Real comes across like a lot of other New Adult titles saturating the market—seemingly obscure girl somehow attracts the attentions of the hot guy who is nursing some serious anger issues. It sounds like every other new adult book I’ve read recently—and not in a good way.

But Evans takes that to the next level.

Brooke, our narrator, was unfortunately my least favorite of the bunch, but what makes up for her sometimes grating and judgmental ways is Remy. Yes, Remy has some issues, but the moment I knew he was different than all those other book boys that have burned me was when he actually backed down from a fight. I literally sat up and took notice. There may have been some eyebrow raising, too. And this was just the beginning.

Evans continually surprised me throughout the story. She takes so many stereotypes I’ve unfortunately developed with new adult books and slams through them with dizzying force. I can’t wait to read her next book.

  1. I don't mind the NA formula (because, seriously, that's what it's become. If I see NA as a label, I know exactly what it's going to entail.) but it's cool that this one is taken to another level. Remy sounds like someone who would definitely kill in the Crush Tourney!!

    1. I think you're right - NA has just become formulaic, so I generally know what to expect when I go in. But sometimes, you get a great surprise. This was a great surprise. ;)

  2. How I Got My Ex Husband Back..Am so excited to share my testimony of a real spell caster who brought my husband back to me. My husband and I have been married for about 6 years now. We were happily married with two kids, a boy and a girl. 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and a few weeks later I found out that my husband is seeing someone else. He started coming home late from work, he hardly care about me or the kids anymore, Sometimes he goes out and doesn't even come back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I could to rectify this problem but all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the internet one day, I came across a website that suggested that Dr Aluya can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and and told him my problems and he told me what to do and i did it and he did a spell for me. 48 hours later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my family are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Aluya Powerful Love Spell that really works. If you have any problem contact him and i guarantee you that he will help you. He will not disappoint you. Email him at: aluya.48hoursspelltemple@gmail.com or whatsapp him on: +2348110493039 you can also go through his website draluya48hoursspelltemple.webs.com/

  11. Mijn naam is Angela Robertson
    Ik ben een getrouwde vrouw die al 10 jaar getrouwd is, maar ik heb een misverstand met mijn man over een chronische ziekte genaamd HIV (humaan immuunvirus). mijn man. Elke keer als ik ziek ben, zal mijn man altijd willen dat we naar het ziekenhuis gaan voor een controle, maar "Ik zal hem altijd zeggen dat ik voor mijn gezondheid zal zorgen. Op een dag zal ik hem opvangen, dus ik belde hem met tranen in mijn ogen." de. Mijn man was boos, hij gooide mijn boomstammen opzij. Hij vloekte en beledigde me. Ik zou mijn dodelijke ziekte uit ons echtelijk huis moeten dragen, riep ik. Ik zocht naar oplossingen die ik nooit vind. Drie maanden durende brief belde ik mijn oude vriend die me hielp een spiritist genaamd Dr.Ayo te vinden we namen contact met elkaar op, we namen geleidelijke processen nadat ik mijn gezondheid herstelde, Dr. Ayo vertelde me dat mijn man die me in de steek liet vanwege mijn dodelijke ziekte belde mij om terug te komen na een dag. voor Dr. Ayo is hij een geweldige dokter, je kunt contact met hem opnemen via zijn WhatsApp:+2347055691377 of e-mail: drayo47373@gmail.com

  12. Hallo allemaal, mijn naam is Elisa. Ik ben zo overweldigd door vreugde, allemaal dankzij de spreuk van Dr. Ayo. mijn man verliet me een paar jaar geleden voor een andere vrouw en ik was er kapot van want ik heb hem nooit iets verkeerds gedaan, ik bleef achter met mijn twee kinderen en een baan die weinig betaalt. Ik gaf het bijna op totdat ik online een getuigenis zag over Dr. Ayo en ik besloten contact met hem op te nemen. Ik legde hem mijn probleem uit en hij verzekerde me dat ik na een paar dagen een positief resultaat zou zien, verrassend genoeg kwam mijn man terug en smeekte me om hem te vergeven en beloofde nooit meer weg te gaan. Mijn man is nu terug en we hebben nooit problemen gehad, ik ben blij dat ik niet twijfelde aan Dr. Ayo, want hij kan zeker alle problemen oplossen met snelle verlichting. Je kunt nu ook contact met hem opnemen voor hulp
