heartscontent's review
4.0
It takes more than one person's effort to write a book.
It takes two to struggle for a heart to drop its walls.
It takes two people to meet halfway to make a relationship work.
It takes two sides to make a story feel complete.
Which is what Remy does.
It completes the story of Remy and Brooke, a husband and wife, a father and mother. A love story that breaks all the normal norms one would expect.
It has everything: heartache, love, loyalty and the insight of a tormented man who's life revolves around one woman. And that one woman who's ready to walk through Hell and more with and for that man.

Awwwww, Remy!! I want one!!:D
This book had Remy's point of view for both the first and second book, but I felt that Remy's POV on the second book was rushed. There wasn't as much of it as there was of the first one. Overall a great book that i'll read again. But I'm going to end this review the same way I started it.
Awwwwwwwwww Remy!!! I want one!! :D It just needs to be repeated many times :D

OH YES! Remy is THE Alpha! This book blew my mind! I couldn't put it down. Remy is so raw. My heart burst for him! He's passionate, raw, beautiful, amazing, and brutal about Brooke. Love LOVE this book and this series so far!!!

UGH what a disappointment this book was. This is basically the exact same stuff I read in Real & Mine just condensed and from Remy's eyes with no new insight really. There's a few chapters that are in the Present but those aren't anything to be excited about and it's just a ton of sex. I must say I did a lot of skimming in this book and as an avid reader I HATE to do that! I didn't want to just put it down because I was hoping for more story than we got in the first two books. That didn't happen. Blah. Don't get me wrong I still love Remy but I could have done without even picking this one up.

I never read books that tell the same story from a different POV.. If that was the case with Remy, I wouldn't have read it. Instead Evans alternates between Past & Present chapters. I only read the Present chapters which didn't take long at all.

I was really excited for Remy. I had just binge read Real and Mine so I'm totally on a Remington Tate high.
I understand that this is supposed to be a retelling of Real and Mine. I do. I was just hoping there was more. I felt like I was reading the same words cut and pasted with the pronouns changed. There was some insight into Remy's mind but not enough to have made this a book instead of a novella.
My favorite part of Remy is his present day chapters. Watching it all unfold is the perfect epilogue.

Review originally posted at Ramblings From This Chick
I have to admit that I am a huge fan of books and/or series where the author gives us not only the heroine's point of view, but also the hero's. I especially love when they give us a whole book or novella with that alternate point of view. I feel like it really allows the reader to connect with the book and also the characters on a level that is deeper than you usually get with only one point of view. So when I heard about Remy by Katy Evans, I absolutely had to read it. I was really intrigued not only because I love his character so much, but also because I thought that it would be really interesting to see his thoughts and feelings when he was black as well as when he was blue.
If you haven't read Real and Mine, you are going to want to read both of those books before starting Remy and also beware of spoilers in this review. In Remy, we get to see things from Remy's point of view that happen in Real and Mine. We also get some new things as well though. Remy starts in the present with Remy and Brooke getting ready for their wedding. This is their second wedding, not the first one that they did at city hall. We then alternate between the past and present for the rest of the story. We get to see many scenes from Real and Mine as we never saw them before. Experiencing them as Remy does. Although Remy does not give us a ton of new material, we are left with Brooke and Remy in a very satisfying spot.
I continue to love Remy. He is definitely one of my favorite book heroes that I have ever read. It was really nice to see some of his thoughts and feelings. I feel like we get to know Remy better than we did before. It was really nice to see how he experienced many of the big events in his and Brooke's relationship. You could really tell just how far he was willing to go for Brooke and how deeply he cared for her. He was totally alpha and I love how absolutely possessive he is of Brooke. He would do anything to protect her. But he is also really vulnerable and because of his past, he struggles with accepting that he deserves happiness. It really added so much to this series to see exactly how low he got and at other times how high he would go. I think the reader was able to understand so much more of why he did and said the things he did because of getting this insight into him. It was also nice to see more of all our favorite characters in this series, and begin to see where Katy Evans is taking them in the future.
I did however have a few problems that kept me from being able to rate this one higher. I felt like Remy was like Mine when it came to the problem of repetition. There was just so much that was said and done multiple times that it really took away from the story. It really made me want to skip over parts because I just didn't want to keep reading the same things over and over. I also thought that there were times that Remy's thoughts and feelings sounded the same or very similar to Brooke's from the previous books. It just seemed as though they were written the exact same way, and there wasn't much to differentiate between the two different POVs. Besides the repetition and the similar POVs though, I also felt like there really wasn't a lot of new material. I realize that this was never meant to be a complete new story, and that we were mostly getting his POV of the previous books. But I was hoping to get a bit more new and original content than we got. I think that fans of this series will enjoy seeing more of Remy and some new material. This does add to the series and despite the problems I had, I am glad that I read it. Remy absolutely makes it worth it. I am interested to read the next couple of books in this series though, and I am excited that we will be getting more of different characters. It will be nice to get some new and fresh material while hopefully still getting to see some of our favorites.

While i usually like when an author writes from a different POV this book to me felt like it was too rushed a lot of scenes were missing which i would have liked to have read from remy's POV.
It could have been a lot better.
