Remington “Riptide” Tate is one of the hottest underground
fighters around. There are sides to
Remy that no one else but those closest to him knows. He is black and he is blue. He has one thing that he will fight for and
do whatever it takes to protect, that being Brooke Dumas.
During Real and Mine we got to meet Remy. He’s hot, he’s
sexy, he’s fierce, he’ bipolar. We watch him when he’s high and when he’s low.
We watch it all through Brooke’s eyes.
In Real and Mine we got Brooke’s POV. In Remy
it is all in Remy’s POV. We get too see what
Remy was thinking, feeling, wanting and needing from the start.
I absolutely loved Remy, more than the other books hands
down. I connected with Remy more than I
have with Brooke. Remy is more than just
a fighter who is not only fighting in an underground MMA fight, he is fighting
to stay Blue, fighting to prove to Brooke that she is the one thing in his life
that means the most to him. His music
centers him, it is how he expresses himself to Brooke and tells her how he
feels with songs.
I loved seeing how from the moment he laid eyes on Brooke he
knew she was the one he had to have.
Remy is omg sexy beyond words. He
is protective, sweet, caring, and sex on 2 legs and he only has eyes for
Brooke. Seeing the events that happened
between him and Brooke in his POV made me love him even more than I did prior
to reading Remy. Remy deserves his happiness and he finally gets
it with Brooke.
I am addicted to this series, each book is like a fix for my
addiction. I am anxiously awaiting the
next book in this series, like a drug addict is needing his next hit. I hope that in the future books we will get
more of Remy’s POV because I for one could not get enough of this sexy fighter.
Now, we get the story from Remy. We get to see and hear
what’s going on in Remy’s mind. How he feels, what he’s thinking, how he
suffers. Finally. We get the other side of the story.
I was so excited to get this story. I wanted it. I wanted to
read it. I wanted inside Remy’s head, and I got it.
It was fascinating to see all of this through Remy’s eyes.
Hearing his thoughts, hearing how he was suffering for Brooke, for someone to
love him, for someone to find him worthy. Hearing how he handled things and how
he tried to keep calm added a new depth to the first two stories. It was also
comforting to hear how Brook centered Remy and helped calm the voices, calm the
“speedy” and help him through the black.
My only complaint is I didn’t get to hear everything I
wanted. I felt there were some really important parts that were not covered in
this book. There were pieces in the first two books that I wanted from Remy’s
POV. How did he handle being apart from her? I wanted more from that.
I’m really glad I read Remy. It added some pieces of the
puzzle and made a more complete picture.
EXCERPT:
“REMY!
REMY! REMY! REMY!” people yell.
Their chants grow in intensity while
her startled golden eyes devour me like I’m devouring her.
“You want more Remy?” the announcer
happily asks the crowd. “All right then, people! Let’s bring out a worthier
opponent for Remington Riptide Tate tonight!”
Hell, they can bring out anything
they want, man or monster.
I’m so primed, I could take a couple
at once.
In my peripherals, I’ve got her
pinned down, nice and tight. In that frilly shirt. Those body-hugging pants.
I’ve already cataloged her at about a 120 pounds and five feet seven, at least
a head shorter than me. In my head, I’m already measuring her breasts in my
hands and tasting her skin with my tongue. Suddenly, I notice she whispers
something to her friend, rises to her feet, and takes off down the aisle.
