If you fell in love with Remy Tate when reading REAL, MINE and REMY back in 2013, get ready to fall in love with his son, RACER. (Uh, he’s a grown man now, of course)

Katy writes the BEST men. 😍
Remy, Maverick, Saint and Matt are just a few of the men I’ve wished were REAL. See what I did there? 😉
To read them is to love them and I’ve loved them all.

Racer lives up to his unique name.
Despite Remy’s wishes for him to follow in his foot steps and become a fighter, Racer craves the adrenaline and control of racing cars.
I loved the relationship of the entire loving and supportive Tate family.
I was so happy to re-visit Brooke and Remy ,still completely in love with one another even after all these years.
I also hope that Racer’s 18 year old sister Iris gets her own book in the future.

The female character, Lana comes from a racing family.
She, her Dad and 3 brothers all work for a racing team that hasn’t had a winning season for quite awhile.
Lana decides to search for a new talented driver to bring to their team and that’s how they meet.
Racer is street racing illegally, but Lana sees right away (and Googles) that he’s amazingly talented and not so bad to look at.

I don’t like reviews that spoil the book, so I’ll just say the mutual attraction is hard to ignore but is somewhat forbidden since she is technically his boss and her family is watching.

Racer definitely inherited his Dad’s feral foreplay moves.
He’s a singularly possessive and intense alpha who knows what to do to a woman that makes it hard for her to say no.
That tongue and his dirty talk – um, yes please!! 😍

Their steamy sexy times are “face-fanning” hot and will surely make your heart “race”.
I’m typically not a fan of insta-love, but if you read “Real”, it’s like father, like son.
They know when they know and there’s no stopping them from winning the woman they want – -except maybe themselves.

After reading the book, you’ll realize why the cover model has a hood on half his face.
I’ll leave it at that.
If you don’t figure it out, message me. Lol.

Remy:

“Patience, I hear my father say.
Rome wasn’t built in a day … and nobody said it was easy to fall in love with a Tate.”

* I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Review of The Outskirts by T.M. Frazier

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC for The Outskirts and I devoured it in 1 sitting.

T.M. Frazier, the author that gave us King, Bear, Preppy and Jake has once again created a broken soul that you can’t help but love.

Finn, bless his heart, for the last 2 years has become a hermit in a swamp shack, refusing to move on and drinking away his guilt and shame. Once a small town baseball playing, golden boy, he feels responsible for the death of his high school girlfriend and has removed himself from his friends and the entire town.

Enter innocent, but brave 21 year old Sawyer to turn his world upside down. Fresh from her mother’s funeral and her strict father’s beatings, she’s looking for freedom. Freedom away from her father’s religious views and subservient treatment of women as second class citizens. After discovering that her late mother left her an old truck, a tiny camper and a deed to a plot of swamp land neighboring Finn Hollis’s shack, she swiped the church’s money she was told to deposit and headed for Outskirts, FL.
The swamp, described so vividly, becomes another one of T.M.’s worlds that even in the grittiness, you find beauty.

This book brought me out of my reading slump.
It sucked me in from page 1 and expertly flowed, peeling back the layers of the story. Told in dual POV, Sawyer and Finn’s tale grips your heart with the healing power of love and before you know it, you’ve forgotten to make dinner and the sun is setting.

The secondary characters were so lovable, I can’t help but hope they receive their own happy ending.
Miller, Finn’s friend, reminds me a little of Preppy with his hilarious inappropriate banter. I’m hoping in the 2nd book, he’ll reveal his similar fondness of pancakes.
Josh, whose real name is Brittany, the town’s Deputy is a strong, feisty, sassy female who befriends Sawyer and helps guide her out of her previous sheltered world.
Critter, the sweet protective local restaurant owner that hires Sawyer, despite her previous work experience and is hiding his own secrets.

One of my favorite things about the book is the “Tings”. You’ll have to discover what they are on your own, but know that they are such an awesome idea.

Here’s some of my favorite quotes –

“Sawyer laughed with me and the sound was like the best part of a song, the kind you always wanted to sing along to even if you didn’t know any of the other words.” – Finn

“I’ve never met anyone like you. I’ve never even seen anyone like you. These freckles… This mouth… You make me want things, Say. Crave things. Things I haven’t thought about in a long time.” – Finn

“I have learned in my life that there are two kinds of people. The weak and the strong. Those who are truly strong try and lift others to make them feel just as strong. Those who are weak do their best to make others feel as helpless as they do. Surround yourself with the strong. Fall in love with the strong.” – Sawyer’s mother.

“Fear shouldn’t be involved in faith. Being a decent human only because you’re afraid of what will happen to you still makes you a bad person, just a bad one pretending to be a good one.” – Sawyer
——-
Gaaah!! That ending!! I whisper shouted Whaaaaaat?!
I can’t wait for the conclusion in “The Outliers”, releasing 11/1.

There is a deleted Preppy scene at the end of the book which eased me back out of the swamp, but also made me miss that world, as well.
I’ll always one-click anything she writes.

Review of The Lucky Heart by Devney Perry

I wrote a really good review immediately after reading this book and posted to Goodreads while on a cruise ship to Bermuda, I just now realized it never posted.
Sigh. It must be out there in the Bermuda Internet Triangle somewhere.

I LOVED this dual POV, 2nd chance romance.
It’s the 3rd book in the Jamison Valley series, but each book can absolutely be read as a standalone.
You’ll fall in love with the down to earth characters in this small Montana town and if you have read the other 2 books, you’ll enjoy catching up with some of the folks you’ve met before.

Devney may be a fairly new author, but you’d never know it while devouring her fast moving plots filled with angst, romance and suspense.
Her fantastic character development, full of swoony alphas and feisty females effortlessly weave in realistic problems while taking you on an emotional rollercoaster.
I also love that the characters are older, filled with life experience. It’s sad that it seems like 95% of all romances have characters between the ages of 18 – 25.

The Lucky Heart is about Silas and Felicity who have a complicated past dating back to high school.
Silas is loyal, devoted and patient. Felicity is stubborn, feisty and strong willed.
Silas left town for 10 years to serve in the military. He’s back home and he and his father are having differences on how to run the family ranch.

I absolutely loved swoon worthy Silas, Felicity, not so much at first. She was a mean girl back in high school and left Silas without an explanation.
She used bitchiness as a shield when she popped back into town over the last 16 years and when she returned home for good after her ex-boyfriend’s funeral.
She wants to make amends for her past mistakes and by the end of the story, I couldn’t help but root for her and their HEA.

I can’t wait to read the next book, The Outpost releasing on 11/7.
It features Beau and Sabrina, cooped up in the Montana wilderness hiding from criminals after Sabrina exposed them in an investigative news report.
I see slow burn and witty banter in our future.

Devney also has gorgeous book covers and has become an automatic one-click author for me.
