Mine by Katy Evans
3.0
"Mine" is the second book in the "Real" series by Katy Evans and continues the story of Remington Tate and Brooke Dumas after the events in book one, "Real". I was torn reading this book. Whatever little affection I had for Brooke completely went out the window with this sequel. She was whiny and insecure and made some really dumb moves and had equally dumb presumptions in this story. I'm sorry, Brooke fans, but I simply didn't like her. Even the supporting cast of characters had more backbone and personality than she did.
What did save this book was Remy. He was a great lead character because he was outwardly an alpha male yet suffered from his own demons, sometimes leading him to total despair. Flawed leads make a story seem more real and believable in my eyes...so I'm just going to consider Remy falling for Brooke as being one of those flaws. Hahaha!
There's a LOT of sex in this book to the point that I skimmed through majority of the scenes (GASP!). There also happens to be a lot of unnecessary periods. Like. This. It. Was. Beginning. To. Get. On. My. Nerves. Once, twice, heck, thrice, it would be okay, but it felt like it was happening in every freaking chapter. O.O
Sadly, Remy alone could not convince me to give the book a higher rating. :( This had potential and that letter Brooke wrote to Remy almost made me reconsider my dislike for her (almost being the operative word) but it had hiccups that proved to be distracting. So, I'm giving "Mine" three out of five stars.
