Real is by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katy Evans. It is the first book in the Real Series as we are introduced to the main characters of the book Remington Tate and Brooke Duma.
Remington Tate is a swoon worthy unattainable bad boy that every girl dreams to change and make him her one and only. Remy is a fallen boxer who has resulted in only fighting in underground matches. He has grown a loyal fan base and rises to the number one spot in the underground fighting ring. Remy has his demons that he fights with the help of his understanding staff that have become his family. They understand and know how to calm the wild beast that lives within Remy’s soul that spontaneously takes over from time to time.
Brooke Dumas is a former champion runner who aspired to be in the Olympics. She trained her body to the max and disciplined herself to reach for her goal. Sadly, Brooke never got her chance because while she was training for the Olympic trials, she blew out her ACL for the second time in six years. Her horrid accident was caught on YouTube and she lives with her fallen dream not only within herself, but also all over the internet. Faced with the fact that she could never be a part of the Olympics Brooke immersed herself in school. End result of getting her masters degree in sports rehabilitation.
Brooke isn’t looking for love or any male attention as she focuses on getting her career started. One night it all changes when her boy crazy best friend Melanie drags her to an underground match. Feeling out of place and disturbed by the fighting she finally sees the man Melanie has been drooling over. Remington “Riptide” Tate enters the room and the crowd goes wild with hollering and women screaming his name at the top of their lungs. There is an instant connection between Remy and Brooke just from a simple exchange of looks.
Brooke is leaving the fight and Remy stops her before she leaves with a sweet kiss. Remy tells Brooke he wants to see her again and she does not know what to expect when she sees him again. In the end she gets what she least expected which is a job offer. Remy wants Brooke to travel with him for three months and be his sports rehab/physical therapist. Reluctantly agreeing to the offer she soon learns that is a very mysterious, dark and complicated man.
The least thing that they both were looking for or wanting came to them within the short time period. They fell in love and deal with the obstacles, demons and setbacks that detain them from finding their happily ever after.
The Real Series continues with the second book Mine that is expected to be released November 5, 2013. Remy which is Real in Remy’s point of view and Raw which will be released on February 4, 2014.
Evans has said that there will be one more book added to the enticing series. About the Real Series Evans wrote on Goodreads, "The series will have 5 total! Brooke and Remy get three. REAL, then the sequel, MINE, and then REMY (Real in Rem's POV). Then Melanie gets a story and we see more of Rem and Brooke through her . . . and then we get a last book. Surprise. Haha!!"
It seems like this love story will keep fighting to the end and knock us down with Brookes and Remy’s steamy and unforgettable love story.
