REAL (Real, Raw & Ripped #1) by Katy Evans

Here we have a book full of sexual tension followed up with a one two punch of angst.  I ate it up! (Seriously, who needs sleep when you have a toddler at home?  Apparently not I!) Let me just share with you when I fell in love with Remy:

His lips curl and he meets my gaze.  "Brooke Dumas."  He just f#$%ed my name right in front of me.  And right in front of Mel. ... "Brooke," he growls softly, meaningfully, against my lips, as he draws back with a smile.  "I'm Remington."

SWOON!  I have to agree with Brooke's best friend Mel when she says "Holy s%^* its like porn with the romance."  This book was H.O.T. no other way to describe it, none.

Remy's instant desire to be near Brooke leads to a job offer Brooke can't say no to.  As Brooke gets ever close to Remy you realize something is just a bit off, and Brooke has to learn how to live with all that Remy is.  The sexual tension between the two is so intense its like tanning on the surface of the sun.  My heart ached for Remy and his sad past, it really did.  I loved how music was brought into the story and how important it was to both Brooke and Remy, it was really touching.

By now you know I'm a sucker for a man who will sacrifice everything for the woman he lives and Remington is no different.  The boy may think he can only do bad, but Brooke brings out the good in him even when he isn't in control anymore. 

This is soooooo making my top ten for 2013! Even more exciting is that this is a series, the Real, Raw & Ripped series to be exact, and there are 5 books planned!!!!  Two more for Brooke and Remy, then Mel's story and finally a surprise for us (I really hope its about Paul and Nora.... I know, just read it, you'll understand later!)  Looking forward to the rest of the series coming out.  For now expect to see Mine sometime mid June followed by Remy in July!
