went in a direction I wasn't expecting after book 1. 
one thing I can say though is that after noticing it the 1st time I can't seem to stop noticing how many times the words 'lick', 'mew' and 'pet' are in this book.

Esta segunda parte se me hizo aún más ridícula que la primera.

Acá acompañamos a Brooke y Remy a través de la espera de su primer hijo. Cosa que 1) me pareció DEMASIADO apresurado teniendo en cuenta que ellos se conoce de MESES, y 2) llegó el punto donde lo consideré tan ridículo que me planteé seriamente dejarlo.

Hubo una escena en particular que me saltó tantos focos rojos, me enfermó un poco la forma de romanizar de la autora, y como dije en la reseña del primer libro, teniendo en cuenta el año en que fue escrito no lo juzgo con una mano tan dura, PERO es que en serio hay ideas tan romantizadas con las que simplemente hasta mi lado tóxico no puede con ellas.

Le di 2 estrellas únicamente por el cariño que le tengo (o tenía) más bien a la saga, y por uno que otro momento que me mantuvo leyendo. 

Me costó 4 días terminarlo, y ni siquiera es un libro tan largo, pero es que tiene TANTO relleno que aburre, los capítulos de vuelven tediosos porque son repetitivos; Remy está bien, Remy está mal, Remy vuelve a estar bien y...... Remy vuelve a estar mal. 

Lo mismo siempre.

Brooke me sacó tanto de mis casillas, es como si estuviera leyendo un personaje con una actitud completamente nueva, dio un cambio de 360 grados, y no precisamente para bien.

Aún estoy dudosa sobre si tomarme un descanso para leer el otro, o simplemente abandonar la lectura de la serie acá, porque no creo que pueda soportar más de lo mismo.

10 April 1988. Now we know when to celebrate Remy's birthday.

Definitely worth the wait.

Kept me engrossed the whole time. 

Love Remington Tate!

Probably one of the best books I've read in 2013.

My only gripe was the fact that the author had to knock up Brooke. Seriously, just knocking up the heroine isn't the best storyline. It's overplayed and boring. Adding a baby just ruins a lot, including the main characters' lives.

It's entirely possible I enjoyed this more than Real. 

Full review to come.

Oh. My. GOODNESS. REMY!!! <3

I honestly have no words to describe how much I enjoyed this book. I loved it! I loved every single part of Mine, from the writing to the characters and everything the book made me feel. And oh god, the feels. There is just so much happening in Mine that my heart was all over the place. I was smiling and so happy for the characters, and then my heart would be breaking and crying for them. Mine takes you on a roller coaster of emotions, and I loved every second of it!

Mine starts off where Real left off. It’s been a while since Brooke came back to Remy, and this time, she’s with him for good. You can just feel the amount of love Brooke has for Remy, and I never had doubts about her. She is a fantastic heroine and an incredible narrator. I felt for Brooke and I just adore her. She’s a unique character. And the most important thing to her is Remy. She’ll do everything and anything to ensure he’s happy and that he will win the championship. She loves all of Remy, his blue-eyed side and his black-eyed side. You’d get that kind of devotion from the hero, but Brooke just exudes this protectiveness of Remy, and I absolutely admired her for it.

Remy. Is. Back! I was in love with him in Real, and he stole my heart again in Mine. I think I loved him even more in Mine too. He can be hot and sexy, he can be funny and cute, and he can be sweet and adorable. But most of all, Remy is primal. He’s like an animal, and Brooke even refers to him as her lion. “Mine” is Remy’s favorite word, and I swear, I swooned every time he said it! There’s just something about an intensely possessive, protective man that gets to me. *sighs* Remy is back in the Underground to fight and win the championship. And during all of his fights and training, you can feel the love this beautiful man has for Brooke. It’s different than in Real, because now nothing can get in the way of Brooke and Remy and their fierce romance. But… then something does happen, and unforeseen circumstances cause Remy and Brooke to separate. They are not broken up, mind you, but they can’t physically be together. And the physical aspect of their relationship is just as important as the mental and emotional ones. And let me tell you, Remy and Brooke are steaming hot in Mine!

Even though Remy and Brooke aren’t physically together, their hearts are still one. Their love is the kind that is always burning and never wavering. These two are it for each other, and I can’t imagine anyone else who is perfect for them. And since we’re reading from Brooke’s POV, when they’re apart, we don’t get much Remy time, but he’s always present one way or another. He’s in Brooke’s heart, her thoughts, her dreams, and her desires. And I never to got tired of it. Brooke and Remy are meant to be.

Their love is fierce, raw, and so full of passion. I was pretty much getting high off reading their story. For much of the book though, Remy is insecure about Brooke’s love. She left him once, and he’s terrified she’ll do it again. It’s heartbreaking how Remy never had love in his life before Brooke, but it’s so beautiful that this man who has never had an ounce of love from his parents can find it in himself to give his whole heart to the woman who means everything to him. And Remy isn’t the only one giving his all. Brooke is determined to prove to Remy that she truly loves him and won’t leave him again.

I honestly love the writing. It’s fresh and unique and I bow down to Katy Evans for her skill. It’s part of why I love Brooke and her narration so much. She’s such a likable and relatable character because of the way she talks and thinks and narrates.

Mine is a fantastic sequel to the equally stunning Real. You get more of Remy’s intensity, Brooke and Remy’s heartwarming romance, more sexy times, and more songs! I love the song Iris, all thanks to Katy Evans!

4.5 STARS! SO excited for the next book Remy now!!
