I just wanted more of what Remy and Brooke are doing now. I did however, immensely enjoy what present storyline there was. But I also wish it had gone a bit further or started a bit earlier in the present storyline. I understand the importance of showing us the scenes from the first two books, and I enjoyed those. My only problem with this book is that, I wish it had more 'Present' moments. Because I absolutely cannot wait for those stories to unfold!The Negatives: Obviously by my gushing above there won't be many negatives but, with any book there are always those few tweaks the readers wish they could make. Oh, another positive is the little tidbits into the current goings-on with Melanie and Riley and Pete and Nora. It enlightened me as to how Brooke is literally his livelihood, and the constant struggles that Remy experiences. Because it is much more than just Remy being an alpha male, or extremely possessive. So, I think this offers a facet to the series that was definitely needed and will show the readers what exactly goes on his mind. Like he knew they were coddling him and he didn't want it but, he needed it. At certain parts it hurt my heart to see Remy almost defeated by Brooke, Pete or Riley's actions. Katy Evan's drives home the point that he has an illness, and while he is 100% aware of that fact, he also can't help his triggers. And it really helped me understand him more. You experience him both going black and become blue again. I think being inside Remy's head gives much more insight to his thoughts and reasons for his actions. For me, it was kind of like a 'The Best Of Brooke and Remy.' It retold some of my favorite scenes and it gave them deeper meaning because it was retold from Remy's POV. The best part is we also get glimpses of Brook and Remy's church wedding. It is the reflection and remembrance of certain scenes from Real and Mine from Remy's POV. Or sometimes a certain scene strikes a deeper meaning with me the third or fourth time around. I think because the books so intense that when I re-read them I see something that I missed the time before. So here we go!The Positives:I have to say this was my first re-telling from a different POV and I really liked it! I could seriously read Remy and Brooke all the time and never tire of wanting more of their story.

The reason being this book was a first for me and I just automatically starting dissecting it by those three sections. Instead of me just spouting out whatever is on the top of my head, I'm going to separate it into categories- The Positives, The Negatives and the Final Consensus sections. Ok, this is going to be a bit of a different structured review.
