Real by Katy Evans

Real (The REAL, #1)

by Katy Evans

The New York Times and USA TODAY bestseller, the first in a scorching series about a beautiful young sports rehab specialist who can't fight her attraction to a dangerously sexy underground fighter.

Remington Tate has a bad-boy rep in and out of the ring, a granite-hard body, and a raw, animal power that sends his female fans into a frenzy. But from the moment their eyes lock, the only woman he wants is Brooke Dumas. His desire is pure, all-consuming, and REAL.

Hired to keep his perfect body working like a machine, Brooke finally has the lucrative sports therapy job she's been dreaming of. But as she tours the dangerous underground fighting circuit with Remy and his team, Brooke's own body becomes alive with the most primal of hungers. If what happens between Brooke and Remy is ever as light as a flirtation, it quickly becomes an erotic obsession for them both, and promises so much more.

But their white-hot lust has a dark side-and when Remy's deepest secret comes to light and Brooke's familial duties demand action, will the pair be able to hang on, or will everything that once seemed so real suddenly fade away like an illusion?

Apparently I read a completely different book than most everyone else. Too much internal dialogue for me. I skipped paragraphs. Stilted language and some grammatical errors. Made up words and some stuff that didn't make sense.

-One does not bounce on their calves... one bounces on their toes.
-One does not hit a speedball...one hits a speed bag.

There is great potential for this book. Remington is a fantastic Alpha. I liked him A lot. He needs professional help for sure ( don't want to be spoilery so I won't go into why)

Crap- I don't want this to be a mean review, that is not my intention but this book had potential but was held back by things that could have been changed/avoided. I know there is another one coming out and I hope it's tighter.

(I also hope that the book blogs review it (the next book) more fairly. I read several reviews that said this was a phenomenal book and was soooo hot. Yes, it was hot!!! No doubt about that but let's be honest that it needed some work as far as sentence structure etc.)

*sigh*
