Publisher's summary

An indie phenomenon and a New York Times and USA Today best seller, the first in a heartwrenching new adult series about a beautiful young sports rehab specialist who can't fight her attraction to a dangerously sexy underground fighter - 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?

Can't get enough!!

This book was so good. I'm a few years behind the Remy train, but now that I have read the first book, I'm hooked! Remington...so sexy, so hot! I feel a book hangover coming. I couldn't put this book down. It had everything I ever look for in a book. It was so fulfilling, so hot. I can't wait to read the next one!!

Real - great story, well worth a listen

Would you consider the audio edition of Real to be better than the print version?

I ended up buying the ebook version after I had listened to the majority of the audible version. I like to listen to books on the train to work so my preference is based around my lifestyle rather than a preference between one version over the other. However I would not have bought the print version had I not liked the audio book as much as I did.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Real?

I enjoyed the characters. Spoiler alert.... I enjoyed the fact that he wasn't perfect.

The introduction of mental heath issues is new to me in these types of stories and it was a refreshing change from the norm 'dominant' personalities just because they are so hot / rich / intelligent... though there is still that aspect in the book as well...

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

'Real' has infinitly more shades than 50.

Oh PLEASE WRITE MORE....TODAY, PLEASE

I thought loved the Fifty series, and others in this genre. That means I am "over the moon", " enthralled, enchanted, you get my meaning? This story, and props to the performance, kept me up all night to finish it! I could literally feel what Remy and this Little Firecracker, were going thru. This review could go on and on, but you should stop readi f this and BUY THIS BOOK.

Romanticizing mental illness?

This story is well written but the mental illness addressed in this story, is whitewashed way too much and as someone who has dealt with this type of illness, it's no small thing when the one suffering rejects taking medication and I found it hard to get past that! But if you don't have my baggage, you'll probably enjoy this story and I will look for more from this author.

Hot and steamy!

I am in love with Remy. He is a quiet hot hunk of a man and I can't get enough!

Story was good and steamy but Hated the Narrator

Would you consider the audio edition of Real to be better than the print version?

For the Story yes but would not listening to it again. If Grace Grand would Narrated the book it would had been a smash.

Would you be willing to try another one of Charlotte Penfield’s performances?

No never! I'm debating if I want to purchase the 2nd one from the series. She has no up and down voice. all appears like it is read line by line and she does not do well on different tones to reflect the characters.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

FIGHT

Any additional comments?

I love Katy Evans books, but the narrator ruin it for me. Best Narrator ever from all her books are Grace Grand and I wish she had told the story.

It's made me deliriously happy!

Absolutely loved it!! From start to finish I couldn't wait to see what happened next!

I loved loved loved this story!

This is the first book I listened to by Katy Evans and it was incredible! It has a realistic story line and covers topics the one can relate too.

I could not stop listening. I finished it in one day. I can't wait to listen to the rest of the series. It's worth every dollar or credit.

Meh

The love story was intense and I loved that. The drama was annoying though. The narrator, Charlotte, is one of the top narrators, I absolutely love her, she’s excellent

Hot but scratchy!

Great story, super hot alpha male...love Remmy! The recording is rough, scratchy in the background and at one point you can hear what sounds like chimes going off...it detracts but not enough to stop listening to Remington!!
