The Lion & his little Firecracker!

Mine begins just where Real left off. Remy has his Brooke back and they are off for the next season in The Underground. But they still have the challenges of his mood changes and Scorpion isn’t history yet. They both are finally happy together and things are finally solid between them. But then a life-changing event occurs and force them to be apart for some time. And with the distance comes insecurity. Brooke starts to feel insecure about all the groupies, about the fighting and everything that comes with it. The boxer who has fallen utterly and totally in love with Brooke Dumas. Possessive as ever, Rem is fighting and training for the biggest fight of his life. With Brooke by his side he’s just invincible. But life gets in the way and as a unit they need to fight much darker parts of him that threaten to take him under. This book was good. There was a few times when Brooke irritated the hell out of me, but Remy, oh-sweet-and-sexy-Remy, he made it all worth it. It was a bit predictable, but the steam was all there and it was also sweet & romantic with no end. If you liked the first one, YOU HAVE to buy this one.

Riptide!!

This is a great addition to book 1. The passion continues and of course it makes you wish for your very own "Riptide". I was swept into the story like I love to be. It didn't fall flat like some book 2's do. I'm very happy to use my credit on a listen like this.

2.5 Stars I Could Not Connect

Most people loved this book and the series but I just could not connect.
I really wanted to like this book. I really did. But I should have known as I did not like the first Real very much. But I made the mistake of buying both so I decided to listen. This one was worse..
Here's what I did not like:
1. This time Brooke was whiney, stupid horny and jealous. I do not find these to be endearing qualities in a character and wanted to smack her after a few chapters. What happened to the girl in the first book? It is not the same character at all.
2. There was little depth to Remy. He didn't say much at all. He also seemed a little caveman like this time. No one is allowed to hug Brooke? Uh, that is unattractive and psycho.
3. Recycled story. Nothing interesting happened. Same bad guy. Same stupid sister Nora. Boring. I kept thinking things would happen, especially with the whole "gift" part. Then, nothing. Then, nothing. Then, still.....nothing.
4. Too many sex scenes. (What?!) Yes, too many. It got repetitive and boring after a while and I ended up skimming through the last few of them. Sadly, a lot of people think that makes a good story. To me, it does not. I guess I have higher standards and require an actual interesting plot or a build up to these kind of scenes. To me, it was pointless and made the book silly. There was no sincerity in them. Just porno cheese.
5. Repetition of words used. For example "proprietary" was used way too many times and I just had to roll my eyes. Too much of Brooke explaining how hot Remy is. Over and over. Lame. Yes, we get it, he is hot. It made her sound shallow and annoying.

It just seems to me like the author tried a lot harder with the first book and this one seemed forced. I don't think I will be reading her next ones. I am embarrassed that I actually read this and will not recommend to anyone as I usually talk about all the books I read to friends. This was just BAD..

Charlotte Penfield was good with the delivery of the story.

Just when you think the story can't get any better

Just when you think the story of Remy and Brooke can't get any better, it sooooo does!

I felt so sorry for Brooke, as she learned what Remy was going through when she wasn't around. And the Letter!!!! OMG!!!! How Remy held onto that letter!

This was even better than Real, if that is even possible... yes it was... Brooke totally redeem herself... she loved her some Remy... And Remy.. OMG... he was just perfect.

I really like the fact that this book shows Remy as not perfect... how Brooke doesn't just cure him from Bipolar... Remy stuggles everyday... and I like how all of a sudden, Remy goes from Blue to Black, just like that...

This book (along with book 1) felt so real... And the End.. WOW! Great ending... so much drama and action... with Nora and Scorpio and the fight!

So worth a Buy, Credit or Sale... Either one... you can't go wrong with this book. It was AMAZING!

Narration was great. Same narrator from book 1, glad they continued with the same narrator b/c I simply loved Remy's voice... especially when he was in Black.. so smexy!!!

5+ and then some!

I loved book 1, but this one just blew my mind and heart away! The worst part about it was that it ended--seriously, I want to know these people and travel with them to the underground boxing, and, if I'm being honest, I want a Riptide of my own, issues and all. The intense love between Remy and Brooke was that gut wrenching soul stirring love. Katy Evans delivers a deeply emotionally driven continuation of Brook and Remy's relationship and how things unfold professionally and personally for them. Listening to what happens when a person finds someone that makes them love so hard they get crazy was a pleasure and my delight! A credit well spent! Bravo Katy Evans, Bravo!!!!!

Enjoyable Read

I wasn't sure if this book would stand up to the 1st one, but I loved it just as much. There were scenes that had my skin crawling and scenes that melted my heart. I am excited to listen to book 3 & 4. This is definitely a book that I will be listening to again.

Ridiculous!

Sorry fellow reviewers. I listened to Manwhore and I really liked it. I liked in Manwhore how she portrayed the woman and her thoughts about herself. It had a lot more depth.
After reading Manwhore and while waiting for Manwhore 2 which had a marvelous cliffhanger, I decided to order the first book in the Riptide series, Liked it then decided to order book 2. What new journey could Riptide (Remy) the fighter and his new lady have? Listening to this, involved a lot of eye rolling and shaking my head. First, I disliked the woman's role in this story. She did not grow, she just became crazier and more dependent. I could understand it in the first book because they, she and Remy, the fighter, had just met each other. And yes, over and over again in this book as in the first, we hear how gorgeous he is. we get it! Describing his body and looks had to take up at least three fourths of the book. (Hey I may be exaggerating - maybe every other paragraph). The protagonist whole reason for loving her man was because of his body and looks. Really? The name of this book should have been, Co-Dependence, A Love Story! Their romantic mantra to one another was, your mine, mine, your mine. This should have been a novel about werewolves.

EVERY SINGLE WORD IS MAGIC

As Brooke and Remy's obsessive love affair continues there's plenty of gripping drama, swoon-worthy romantic moments, sexy times, dark and angst ridden days, shocks, surprises and heartache to keep you riveted to this couple's struggles until the very end.

I'm keeping my review short because the joy of having the 3rd book ready and waiting is just too much excitement for me to handle. But, if you're in the mood for a hero that will blow you away with his good looks, his kindness, his vulnerabilities, his loving and intense words and, of course, his sex appeal then this is a must have series. There's a lucky heroine of course but she made some bad mistakes which were annoying but forgiven in the end.

Worth a credit? Absolutely, for sure, no question, totally worth a credit but I got it on sale and what a beautiful bargain it was.

Night #2 of NO SLEEP!!!

This one is such a great story. I was compelled the entire time, loved the story loved the characters. This book was a bit lighter than the last. Sooooo Goooood! Can't wait until the third is out, just a couple more days. Well worth the credit.

These books are HOT and great, both characters have issues, there is some drama. This series is "normal" sex stuff, nothing freaky in there. I also enjoy some of the intros into the other stories we will see later next year. Great author, narration was good. Absolute love. This is my newest favorite series! This will definitely be a re-listen over and over again!
