My Thoughts:
Mine, by Katy Evans, was passionate, erotic, intense, sexual, and utterly consuming! Wow! I just loved the continuation of Remy and Brooke's addictive, raw, powerful, and passionate love story. I was a little worried that this sequel would not be able to live up to Real. I am relieved and excited to say, that it was an amazing sequel that I devoured in record time. I just can't get enough of Remy. Talk about a hot, powerful, sexual, and swoon-worthy alpha male! Remy beautifully represents all of the reasons why Alpha Males are such a turn on!
Mine was told from Brooke's point of view, and continues right were Real left off. Remy and Brooke are back together, and these two are hotter and heavier than ever! However, being back together, they are facing many challenges. For one, Remy is insecure that Brooke will leave him again, and Brooke is insecure that she is not enough for Remy. She gets jealous of all his groupies constantly throwing themselves at him. Remy is dedicated and determined to make his dream come true, of being the underground Fighting Champion. He is working out harder then ever, eating right, and treating his body well. Brooke is right beside him every day, cheering him on, and encouraging him. These two have the most intense, passionate, erotic, and steamy love scenes. Ms. Evans is the mistress of seduction when it comes to the written word.
Unfortunately, Scorpion is up to no good again, and trying to get into Remy's head. Remy hires body guards to protect Brooke, and is out for blood when it comes to this psychotic fighter. On top of that, unforeseen circumstances force Remy and Brooke to be apart. Broke is a mess because she can't stand to be without Remy. She feels insecure and worries a lot about Remy being without her. Remy misses Brooke so much, and text messaging, skyping, and phone sex just seem to torture him more. Remy and Brooke get tested time and time again. These two couldn't seem to catch a break! Whether it was other people (like Scorpian or Remy's parents causing problems,) dealing with Remy's bi-polarism, false assumptions, learning how to trust one another, trying to eliminate self-doubt and insecurity, or just the everyday reality's of life. However, these trials made Brooke and Remy's love for one another stronger. There relationship solidified, and Remy got to learn what unconditional love felt like. He also learned self worth, and that he deserved someone as amazing as Brooke, and the happiness that being with her gave him.
Mine was fresh and exciting the whole way through. There were many plot twists that kept the story alive, and had me hooked!. It was wonderful to have all the fun and interesting secondary characters from Real, return in Mine. We get Coach Lupe, Pete, Riley, Diane (Remy's chef and surrogate mother), Melanie (Brooke's best friend), Nora (Brooke's sister), and even Brooke's good friend's Kyle, and Pandora. We also get to know Brooke's parents, and meet a new minor character, Jo, one of Brooke's bodyguards. I loved how Remy and Brooke created their own family with the friends and loyal people they surrounded themselves with. The ending of this story was absolutely beautiful and heartfelt. I swooned, sighed, and my heart completely melted. It was absolutely perfect, and I think fans of the Real Series will love it!
My Rating:
Riiiiiiiiiptide for the Win, and Mine for the knockout!!! 5 Sexy-Alpha-Male, Intense, Protective, Loyal, Sexually-Erotic, Madly-in-Love Stars! Trust me ladies, you want more Remy! Mine was just as amazing as Real was! You will not be disappointed! Mine will just wet your appetite for even more Remy! Run, don't walk, to the nearest bookstore to get this little gem! Once you start this book, you will not be able to put it down until you have finished it! This is a series you want for your library, and trust me when I say you will love the continuation of Remy and Brooke's beautiful love story about unconditional love, tremendous passion, loyalty, family, and most of all the beauty of hope for a bright future!
My Favorite Quotes:
"I've been loved, and I have loved. I'm in love, and I will be forever changed by this love, by this man."
~Brooke
"And I want him like my next breath. I want him more than anyone of these screaming women wants him. I want every fragmented part of him. I want his body. His mind. His heart. His beautiful soul."
~Brooke
"I promise, you have my heart, and you have me. There's just no song on this earth, and no playlist big enough, to tell him that I truly love him. I love him when his eyes are black, and when his eyes are blue, and although I know--deep down--that he doesn't believe I'm here to stay--one day, I swear one day I will make him believe me."
~Brooke
"I've been through hell, and I'm back in heaven, and suddenly I know that's the way my life will be: after the dark, I will always, always find my light--which is him."
~Brooke
"Now I know that he is really mine. These fingers have been mine from the moment they touched me. This face. These lips. This huge, kind, protective, possessive, and forgiving heart. He's been mine since I've been his, and knowing that makes me feel like I'm being pieced apart, then put back together new and whole and happy."
~Brooke
