Real

De: Katy Evans

Narrado por: Charlotte Penfield

A New York Times and USA TODAY bestseller, this scorching love story follows a driven young sports rehab specialist who can’t resist her attraction to a dangerously sexy underground fighter.

Remington Tate is infamous both inside and outside the ring—a bad-boy fighter with a granite-hard body, raw power, and a magnetic intensity that leaves fans breathless. But from the moment his eyes lock with Brooke Dumas, she becomes the only woman he wants. His desire is fierce, consuming, and unmistakably real.

Brooke has finally landed the lucrative sports rehabilitation job she’s worked toward for years, hired to keep Remy’s body in peak condition as he dominates the brutal underground fighting circuit. Traveling from city to city with Remy and his team, Brooke finds her own resolve slipping as attraction turns into obsession and chemistry ignites beyond her control.

What begins as temptation quickly becomes something far deeper—and far more dangerous. When Remy’s darkest secret surfaces and Brooke is pulled in competing directions by family obligations, their white-hot connection is put to the ultimate test. In a world fueled by violence, desire, and ambition, they must decide whether what they have is truly real—or destined to disappear.

Eye Opening to the torments of Menal Illness

Before reading this book, I had no idea how tormenting Bi-Polar could be for someone plagued by it. And the idea that a woman could willingly take on a relationship knowing that the man she loves is tormented in this way left me in awe. I couldn't have done it, but the heroine of this book did! In her ignorance, she made a few mistakes with RipTide, but I was left with the notion that she'd learn how to live with the effects Bi-Polar can create.
This is a very different love story. It starts out rather slow and I almost decided not to listen to it because the narration was mono toned. However, give it time, because it does pick up and you won't be disappointed. Brook and Rip Tide share a bond as dedicated, disciplined athletes. However, both are also damaged and this story tells how they embrace those and their union makes both of their lives better.
I enjoyed this book. I did listen to it in one session. Thank goodness I'm retired and have the time to do such a thing.
There were times I wondered if Rip Tide was beyond being able to live with, but you'll see how that's concern is squashed as you listen.
It's very erotic and this listen is done strongly from the female's experiences. Different, but very interesting and well done.

good book

I wish Remington's voice was a little more deep or hard. Since he is a fighter and a very complicated person.

unconditional love

great story about lust, love, family, wants and needs. the story line and delivery was good, the story flowed smoothly

Not realistic

I felt like this book was not realistic!! No one is ready that quick all the time and I also thought Brook was not the brightest!! She made stupid decisions and then wonders why everyone is so mad. I can't with her right now.

Oh my goodness!!

One of the best books I have read/listened to and I am an avid reader! Hot, possessive, dominance. Remy is hot! The love Remy has for Brooke and the secret he holds inside. Great story line! You will not be able to put it down once you start listening!
