Book Reviews: REAL, MINE and REMY by Katy Evans

“Brooke Dumas. I'm Remington.” -- Remington, REAL.

REMINGTON 'RIPTIDE' TATE. That is his name. It skipped my mind to do a review based on this novel. In my short period of time reading English novels, there are two series that grabbed my heart instantly on the first try. Fifty Shades Trilogy and REAL series. Christian Grey and Remington Tate. Both of them are different from each other and yet I love them endlessly.

         I read Real (#1), Mine (#2) and Remy (#3)  on January 16th and 17th. These three books are awe-waitforit-some. Awesome! (insert Barney Stinson here). I found it on a whim. I didn't expect a lot from the series. With that little detail in mind, I read it.

         And it blew my mind.

        First book. REAL. This book is actually about a woman named Brooke Dumas who met the man of her life during an underground fight. Remington Tate. In the first book, there was this conflict between Remington and his other contender, Scorpion, and this was what drove the first book. Things happened and so-and-so. Nevertheless, that isn't what I want to talk about. I want to talk about the King Of The Fucking Jungle. Remington.

      What I love the most about this book is Remington. God, Remington! I hope I have a freaking Remington with me. Everything about him just oozes sexy, sweat, smoking hot face and riptide abs. And I abso-freaking-lutely love how they first met. It was love at first sight. My favourite element in a book! I also found him so sweet and protective and possessive at the same time. Kinda reminds me a lot of Christian. Hmmm....

“You’ll leave me the second it gets too steep, and you’ll leave me with nothing – when I want you like I’ve never wanted anything in life. You’re all I think about, dream about. I get high and low and it’s not about you now, it’s not even about me anymore. I can’t sleep, can’t think, can’t concentrate worth shit anymore and it’s all because I want to be the fucking ‘one’ for you.” -- Remington, REAL.

        Though one thing is different here. It's apparently that Remington has bipolar. That term wasn't familiar to me before this. I'd never read a book about a person having bipolar before and I didn't know how the author was going to make their relationship work with Remington having his episodes. But, you know what, she did it. Magnificently. And I love every second of it.

         In the second book, MINE, they faced another challenge. Brooke was pregnant but she almost had a miscarriage and had to put into a bed rest with restrictions. Remington had to leave Brooke in Seattle while he toured the country to fight in the underground.

“Remington Tate, I swear to you—I swear—that when I’m able to get up from this stupid bed and run again, you’re always, always, going to be the one thing I’ll run straight to.” -- Brooke, MINE.

        And I have to tell you that I was 100 percent sure that she was going to lose the baby. There was no doubt that the baby won't make it because the series has five books and she got pregnant in the second book. Usually, after the main characters have their kids, the story will stop right there or it will have a maximum one book more about the main couple. So, I was sure the baby will die because it's too soon.

         However, never in my life, would I be happy to be wrong. The baby survived. And it's a HE. The baby was two months earlier and a premature but he's healthy. They named him Racer Dumas Tate and that is so cute! And do you know what's cuter than that???? Remington as a father! Hell, that was one damn hot sexy baby daddy!!!

“You are going to love me until I die. I’m going to make you love me even if it hurts, and when it hurts, I’m going to make it better, Brooke.” -- Remington, MINE.

         The third book, REMY, on the other hand, is Remington's POV during the period between the first book and the second book while he's getting ready to get married properly with Brooke. I'm not sure whether I mentioned this before but I don't really like a guy's POV. It's weird. I like reading the girl's POV but not a guy. (Multiple POVs and third person's view are okay). So far, there's only two books where the guys' POVs are really good. Tangled by Emma Chase (because it so damn funny) and Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyers (because it was just THAT good). So, it was a little disappointing but I still love reading his head. I especially love his interactions with Racer. Both of them were just soo~ freaking cute.

“There are things you’re certain about. That you’d bet your life on. Things that you just know. You know the heat of a fire will burn you. Water will quench your thirst. She is one of those things; the most unerring certainty of my life.” -- Remington, REMY.

        Overall, I gave this three books 5 stars because I really really love them. And actually the next two books in this five books series won't be about Remington and Brooke but about their friends. I wonder how that's going to come out. This book actually shocked me. I thought it was just a very good book after I was done with it but after a couple of months later, I found that this book is directly under Fifty Shades Trilogy in my ranking. It was so good, people.

         That is all for now. I'll talk to you guys again later with more developments about my life. Something is about to change people. In just one week.

I fucking love you, Remy,

Liely

P.S. What is going to happen to me?
