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?

Static

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

Good performance though she speaks a bit too slowly

Any additional comments?

the story is fine but the sound quality of the download is very staticy.

Riveting!!!!

Such a deep dark story of struggle and loss wrapped in holy HOT manliness!! Characters are deep and engaging and the story is outstanding!

I enjoyed this more in Audible!

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I would use the Bipolar disease angle differently. I think the character Remington did not act like he was in his Manic phase with her, he should have been sleepless having tons of sex with her and other people and spending all his money.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Remy--duh!

Have you listened to any of Charlotte Penfield’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No.

Did Real inspire you to do anything?

No.

Any additional comments?

I realize that there is a sequel to this and I am not interested in reading or listening to it. I wish sequels would involve a DIFFERENT couple, there is NO erotic tension for the reader when a sequel is about the SAME couple!

Good story, good characters, went a little long.

What did you like best about this story?

Remy's struggles were definitely the best part of the story.

Which scene was your favorite?

The opening scene.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No, there was too much internal dialogue that kept getting in the way. This story was good, but could've been a lot better if some of that internal dialogue was left out. I would still say it's worth a listen.

Storyline better than the narrator

I've heard Charlotte narrate before but this time she sounds like she is secretly reading the story to her girlfriends in the closet with a flashlight. It's not very exciting listen.

The storyline is unique and interesting. I was annoyed at the woman who has a man who wants to wait and actually get to know each other before sex. She was a twit about that but it's worth a credit. Can't wait to listen to Sebastian York in Remys book

Oh Remy

If you could sum up Real in three words, what would they be?

Hot, intense, delicious

What does Charlotte Penfield bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her voice was really sexy and perfect for this story.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I wanted a happy ending!

Any additional comments?

So excited for sequel

Awesome

This author really hit home with the explaination of manic depression. Nobody knows what it's like until you experience it. Thank you excellent story!

awesome

great book different ki d of romance but still very good. strongly reccommend a must read

Fair listening

There were parts that I missed and didn't feel the need or have the desire to go back and listen to. I was able to to listen till the end. Definitely not a page turner. But ok.

Great listen!

i cant wait to listen to book two. i am looking forward to the rest of the series. love bad boy Remy!!!
