Blogaversary Celebrations - Win a SIGNED, ORIGINAL paperback of Real by Katy Evans

10 Jul 2013

Real by Katy Evans



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?

Mature New Adult/Adult Contemporary Romance - recommended for ages 18 and up.

Playlist for Real





Laura, thanks so much for having me over for a visit, and thanks everyone for stopping by. I’d love to talk to you guys about music! After weeks, hiding in the writing cave writing MINE, I’ve been listening to amazing songs (which I can’t wait to share with you) along with Brooke and Remington.

You know music plays a crucial part in REAL and, likewise, it will play a part in the sequel, MINE. For those of you who have not read REAL or would like a refresher, this is the playlist:

Iris by Goo Goo Dolls – listen here

This is such a significant song, I even went to lengths to acquire the license of being able to quote some of the lyrics in REAL.

I Love You by Avril Lavigne – listen here

The moment I listened to this song, Brooke jumped in my head and wanted it. She has great taste in songs, I have to say. I love the upbeat tone and it captures falling in love so perfectly!

Love Bites Def Leppard – listen here

Remington and Brooke are athletes and very physical beings, and this song captures their sexual awareness of each other perfectly.

This is a list of other songs I heard while writing, many of which they made me listen to!

High on You Survivor (I always played this song when I worked on their meeting scene!)

Love Song Sara Bareilles

In Your Eyes Peter Gabriel

Come Away With Me by Nora Jones

All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You by Heart

Anyway You Want It by Journey

I Love You Like A Love Song by Selena Gomez

My Life Would Suck Without You by Kelly Clarkson

Flaws and All by Beyonce

The Fighter by Gym Class Heroes

That’s When I Knew by Alicia Keys

 
I personally love music. It connects us to emotions, memories, people we love, even those we hate. The playlist for MINE isn’t yet defined, but as soon as I know all their favorite songs for sure, I will be sure to share it! In the meantime, do you guys have a favorite song? If you don’t, then do you have a favorite song you would like to share with Brooke and Remington?

  1. I thought of the song Never Let Me Go by Florence + The Machine and also Broken by Seether and Amy Lee. I loved every song that Remy and Brooke played for each other, they were perfect :)
