Real

By: Katy Evans

Narrated by: Charlotte Penfield

The New York Times and USA TODAY bestseller, the first in a scorching series about a beautiful young sports rehab specialist who can't fight her attraction to a dangerously sexy underground fighter.

Remington Tate has a bad-boy rep in and out of the ring, a granite-hard body, and a raw, animal power that sends his female fans into a frenzy. But from the moment their eyes lock, the only woman he wants is Brooke Dumas. His desire is pure, all-consuming, and REAL.

Hired to keep his perfect body working like a machine, Brooke finally has the lucrative sports therapy job she’s been dreaming of. But as she tours the dangerous underground fighting circuit with Remy and his team, Brooke’s own body becomes alive with the most primal of hungers. If what happens between Brooke and Remy is ever as light as a flirtation, it quickly becomes an erotic obsession for them both, and promises so much more.

But their white-hot lust has a dark side—and when Remy’s deepest secret comes to light and Brooke’s familial duties demand action, will the pair be able to hang on, or will everything that once seemed so real suddenly fade away like an illusion?

Static

Would you be willing to try another one of Charlotte Penfield’s performances?

Good performance though she speaks a bit too slowly

Any additional comments?

the story is fine but the sound quality of the download is very staticy.

Riveting!!!!

Such a deep dark story of struggle and loss wrapped in holy HOT manliness!! Characters are deep and engaging and the story is outstanding!

I enjoyed this more in Audible!

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I would use the Bipolar disease angle differently. I think the character Remington did not act like he was in his Manic phase with her, he should have been sleepless having tons of sex with her and other people and spending all his money.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Remy--duh!

Have you listened to any of Charlotte Penfield’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No.

Did Real inspire you to do anything?

No.

Any additional comments?

I realize that there is a sequel to this and I am not interested in reading or listening to it. I wish sequels would involve a DIFFERENT couple, there is NO erotic tension for the reader when a sequel is about the SAME couple!

Good story, good characters, went a little long.

What did you like best about this story?

Remy's struggles were definitely the best part of the story.

Which scene was your favorite?

The opening scene.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No, there was too much internal dialogue that kept getting in the way. This story was good, but could've been a lot better if some of that internal dialogue was left out. I would still say it's worth a listen.

Storyline better than the narrator

I've heard Charlotte narrate before but this time she sounds like she is secretly reading the story to her girlfriends in the closet with a flashlight. It's not very exciting listen.

The storyline is unique and interesting. I was annoyed at the woman who has a man who wants to wait and actually get to know each other before sex. She was a twit about that but it's worth a credit. Can't wait to listen to Sebastian York in Remys book
