TEASER FROM MINE (Real #2) by KATY EVANS!!

October 25, 2013

TEASER FROM MINE (Real #2) by KATY EVANS!!

We count Katy Evans among our very favorite authors (and people) and couldn’t be happier for the success of the REAL series and REMINGTON “RIPTIDE” TATE! And we are thrilled to share a HOT teaser from MINE (REAL #2), releasing on November 5th!! Enjoy!!

 

Cover

In REAL, bad-boy underground fighter Remy “Riptide” Tate hires the beautiful, intelligent Brooke Dumas to be his beautiful young sports rehab specialist, sparking an attraction that both find impossible to resist.

The events of MINE are set several months after REAL. Just when Remy needs Brooke the most, she makes a startling discovery that forces her away from the ringside. Now with distance and darkness between them, the only thing left is for Brooke to fight for the love of the one she needs most.

He’s mine, and I’m his. Our love is all-consuming, powerful,
imperfect, and real…

 

EXCERPT FROM MINE:

When he finally fills the threshold with those magnificently broad shoulders and that beautiful eight-pack, rivulets of water still slide from his hair, down his throat, to his chest and down to the towel draped around those narrow hips. My breath goes. I can see he’s run a towel over his head and his dark hair is standing up and spiked, those blue eyes shining greedily as he makes sure I’m on the bed as he left me. Suddenly all the love and painful jealousy I feel rushes through my bloodstream like lightning.

He steps in without removing his gaze from me, and I pull open my towel to watch his face harden and his eyes flash as he takes me in, completely naked.

He reaches for his towel and strips it away, and my airway constricts when I see his large erection bobbing heavily as he comes to bed and uses another towel to gently dry my wet hair.

“I’m rubbing you down with oils first,” I warn in a breathless whisper as he finishes.

Smiling devilishly, he tosses the towel aside, grabs the arnica oil I was reaching for, and tosses it onto the carpet to join it, then he brushes my wet hair back, his eyes weighted as he cups the back of my head and lowers his head to mine. “Rub my tongue with yours.”

He parts his mouth on mine, and our breaths mingle, and a delicious shiver runs through me as his lips pull me apart and our tongues flick out.

“Your lip,” I breathe, so he’s careful.

He playfully nips me and brushes my tongue with his again, rubbing a little harder and driving me insane. “Your lip,” I moan, squirming needily beneath him.

He draws back. Then, torturously slow, he caresses the backs of my legs, awakening a thousand and one tingles.

“Remington, your lip . . .” I protest when I see the cut bleeding again, and I reach out to catch a drop of blood with my finger.

“Shh . . .” His tongue flashes out, and he licks and sucks my finger, then he lets go and watches me with those violently tender blue eyes as he trails his fingers up the backs of my legs to stroke my buttocks.

My breasts rise and fall as he runs his fingers up my legs, then he possessively cups my ass. “Are you turned on by this?” he asks.

“Yes.”

He slides his hands to the backs of my knees, down my calves, then slowly back up until I’m dissolving into my bones and dying.

“How turned on are you?” he asks softly, settling a kiss on my stomach.

“I have to put something on that lip again,” I breathe. A thousand flames lick my body as I sit up and reach with trembling hands for my salve and manage to press some to his cut.

He presses a kiss to my fingertip, and I close my eyes as a bolt of pleasure arrows through me. “Remy . . .” I say, melting.

“Lie back down,” he tells me. Dizzy with anticipation, I do as I’m told.

“Don’t kiss me, Remington,” I warn.

He whispers roughly, “Fix me up later.”

A shudder courses through me as he caresses my sex, briefly opening my lips with his thumb while, at the same time, he ducks to slide his tongue across the tip of one nipple.

I buck a little, mewing, and he laughs softly as he licks my other nipple, tonguing it, playing with it, before covering it with his hot, wet mouth and sucking.

He runs his hands up my body, growling, “God, Brooke. You knot me up and tear me open. You’re getting me in you now.”

Synopsis

A fallen boxer.
A woman with a broken dream.
A competition…

He even makes me forget my name. One night was all it took, and I forgot everything and anything except the sexy fighter in the ring who sets my mind ablaze and my body on fire with wanting…

Remington Tate is the strongest, most confusing man I’ve ever met in my life.

He’s the star of the dangerous underground fighting circuit, and I’m drawn to him as I’ve never been drawn to anything in my life. I forget who I am, what I want, with just one look from him. When he’s near, I need to remind myself that I am strong–but he is stronger. And now it’s my job to keep his body working like a perfect machine, his taut muscles primed and ready to break the bones of his next opponents . . .

But the one he’s most threatening to, now, is me.

I want him. I want him without fear. Without reservations.

If only I knew for sure what it is that he wants from me?

INTERVIEW WITH KATY EVANS

1. What inspired you to write Real?

Remy. He appeared to me as a blue-eyed cocky Underground fighter battling his own inner demons, and from the moment he materialized in my mind, he grabbed me and wouldn’t let go, so I just had to sit down to write his story.

2. How did you come up with the title?

He just sort of came with it. Since the first pages of the book, I knew it would be called REAL, for it has to do with what Remington most wants and what he quietly, secretly fights for.

3. Are the experiences in REAL based on someone you know, or events in your own life?

It’s a book that came straight from my heart, so it deals with a lot of issues I feel passionately about. Nothing I directly experienced, but many things I have indirectly watched and learned from. From the moment I began writing, I kept writing nonstop for 21 days, breathing Real, eating Real, sleeping Real and living Real. What most readers experience when they pick up Real and can’t put it down, I felt the same and could not leave the computer.

4. What books have most influenced your life?

I think books in general have influenced my life greatly. Good books made me want to write, but it also took a bad book to give me the courage to sit down and try. So books of all shapes and sizes have really shaped my desire to keep on reading and losing myself in these amazing worlds, as well as write my own stories.

5. Your fans feel an amazing personal connection to you and to Remy! Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?

Thank you all so much! For taking the time out of your lives to spend your time with my words, I can’t wait to share more with you soon. Thanks, also, for your beautiful notes, tweets, private messages, for recommending Real to your friends and family, and for opening your hearts and mind to it like I did. 🙂 Thank you also to Book Bellas! Who have been with me from the start, I can’t tell you what it means to me. Thank you!

Review:

“Remington Tate is everything I’ve never, ever done…”

Not sure why I decided to give this new author a try, but I am so glad I did! I immediately fell in love with both Brooke and Remy. Real is a great debut novel from Katy Evans. Remington “Riptide” Tate will steal your heart right from the beginning. He is a brute of a man, an athlete, competitor and superstar underground fighter with a huge following. He desperately wants Brooke Dumas to see him for the real person that he is, serious problems and all. Brooke has her own issues, but really knows and understands the thrill of sports competition.

“He wants to be my real, not my adventure.”

Remy and Brooke’s attraction is instant but its a slow burn leading up to the first time they get together:

“My panties are soaked, and my pulse has gone haywire. I’ve never
condoned violence. This isn’t me, and I blink in stupefaction at the
sensations whipping through my system. Lust, pure white-hot lust,
flutters through my nerve endings.”

I don’t want to give away any spoilers so I will just say that this story has a great twist that hooked me in right from the beginning. I read this book quickly but at the same time did not want it to end. Loved the Epilogue and hope to see more of these characters from Ms. Evans.

“And I’d give up forever to touch you…
Cause I know that you feel me somehow…
You’re the closest to heaven that I’ve ever been and I don’t want to
go home right now.

I want you to know who I am.“

Thank you, Ms. Evans, for introducing us to Remy. Can’t wait for more.
