Rating: C+ ... Heat: Hot

Remington. Oh, my primal, sexy beast of a man, Remington. How I have longed to be inside your head with all those thoughts and feelings. And the smelling and the touching and the super hot alpha tendencies. I wanted so much to get to know the you that has been locked away and hidden behind blue and black. Considering you are the heart and soul of this series to me, to say that I wanted this book is a severe understatement!

Remy is told in both past and present, the present of which takes place after the end of Mine. While I loved the parts set in the present, after a while the past scenes felt... redundant. I wanted to see or experience a side to those scenes I hadn't before. Really get in Remy’s head and feel him while he's black. On that aspect, it didn't live up to my expectations. I did love all of the present scenes though. It felt like the perfect epilogue, in Remy's own words.

While getting inside Remy's head was great, in the end, a lot of this novella didn't feel like it added to the series. I needed more. Something fresh instead of retold. I struggled to finish this, especially when we got to the scenes from Mine. I had just read Mine a week before, so it was fresh in my mind, and those scenes felt too much like a reread. I would’ve – could’ve – loved this book if it had been infused with more new scenes. New characters. New problems. Something.

I was done with it halfway through... it's just the whole story, again. in the beginning it was fun to read his POV but the of the book it added nothing to the story

Originally published at Rookie Romance.

Ah, Remy. It's no secret that I adore Remington Tate. He's easily one of top book boyfriends, and this book has made me love him even more, if possible. He's such a mystery to us, no matter how we get to know him through Brooke, in the previous two books. But now, we get this look into Remy's head and see everything from his POV.
It broke my heart, over and over, to hear how hard Remy could be on himself. Most of the time, he doesn't feel worthy of Brooke's love and I just wanted him to realise how strong and brave he really is.
It's also fabulous seeing Brooke through Remy's eyes. It was so utterly sweet and endearing to see just how much he loves her, and how hard he tries to make their relationship the real thing.

Of course, since this is Remy and Brooke's story from his POV, most of the story is the same as in Real and Mine. But we also get to see more of their life now, with little baby Racer. There are hints of what we might be able to expect from the next two books in the series, as well.

This is a perfect way to round off Remy and Brooke's story. They have their HEA, and we have seen their story from both sides and had three books to feed our Riptide addiction. I have no doubt that we'll see more of Remy and Brooke in Raw and Ripped, the next two books in the series, but I'm excited to read about another couple. If Katy Evans can make me feel this crazy for one book boyfriend, I'm not sure how I'll handle the next two coming our way!
Remy has everything I've come to expect from this series- an unbelievably hot alpha male, sexiness levels that are off the charts, and an intense, real love.

*I received an ARC from the publisher, via NetGalley, for my honest review. Thank you!

So this book focuses on the story from the first two books, but from Remy's perspective.

There's very little new in the books, even with Remy's perspective added. It's a lot of just him being jealous, possessive, and in love with her. I'd say about 10% of the book was worth reading and toward the end I was basically speedreading it just so I could finish it. If the next book doesn't improve, I'm just going to give this a pass. So far I've only really liked one book and that was just because I like Remy's character.

4 stars because I love Remy

OH MY RIP!!!!

I love Remington so much that it actually hurts.

I thought that Mrs.Katy was really cleaver
because I've never read a book from a guys-pointe-of-view thats both past and present. Some books that are the guys pointe of view get really boring. It just keeps repeating what happens but from a different prospective. It was a nice change.

Ricer, I want a book just about him. He's so CUTE! I want to read more about him. Of course, DUH! He's Remington's child.

Overall, this was a really nice read. I'm glad I picked up this series.

This was a tough one to read. Remy’s bipolar episodes were hard to get through and really ramped up the emotions. I loved that the book was from his point of view, because I’m not sure we would have been rooting for him if it hadn’t been with his extreme emotions.

The overall emotions were a little too strong for me from both Remy and Brooke, but a good story overall.

I was so damn disappointed with this third installment. As much as I adored the first two, I was [thisclose] to a DNF. There was such potential to develop Remy's character and explore his afflictions to build a really strong story, but instead he was made to sound like an even bigger neanderthal that just wanted to Hulk smash everything and everyone. Such a disappointing ending to an otherwise hot and sexy story.

Ahhh! Ok swoon moment please!! So one of the driving forces for me to continue reading this series was Remy's struggle with being Bi-Polar. I was so interested in his episodes and "going black." What was he thinking during those moments? Was he really coherent during that time? Remy gives us this! It also includes Brooke and Remy's "greatest hits" if you will from Remy's POV which is so awesome! We really get to see him struggle with his own insecurities where his mental illness is involved and we see the depth of his love for Brooke.

Remy flip flops back and forth from present time (on the way to the wedding) and to the past "greatest hits" moments. To be honest, I liked this one waaaaaay more than Mine. I really could have just read this one and been totally content with it being the wrap up because all of our questions are answered and we get all the warm and fuzzies.

If you are looking for super duper Alpha in the extreme, lots of f-bombs, hot sex and a LOT of it. like 89.9% sex, Remy being Remy, Brooke being annoying but then we forgive her...sort of (if she stopped hurting Remy we'd be cool. Ya hear me, Brooke?!), then this is your book. Super satisfied with Remy. Thaaaank you Ms. Evans!

Remy *suspiro, suspiro*

3.5 estrellas

*SPOILER ALERT*

Lo mejor que pudo hacer la autora fue hacer el POV de Remy, la fiereza con la que habla y todo el amor que le tiene a Brook se ven reflejados en cada una de las palabras escritas, y no podría hacerme más feliz.

Sinceramente, creo que mi único problema con el libro es que, en caso de ser la primera vez que se lee la serie, tiende a ser un poco repetitivo, quitando, por supuesto, las escenas de la boda, no aporta mucho más, y escenas que en mi opinión eran importantes, son saltadas o no tomadas con mucha importancia.

Fuera de esos dos pequeños detalles, el libro me encanta y estoy muy feliz de haberlo leído una vez más.
