Title: Ripped (Real #5)
Author: Katy Evans
Release Date: December 9, 2014
Synopsis:
The fifth book in the New York Times new adult series that began with Real. When an angry, heartbroken girl is forced to be near her rocker ex-boyfriend, only time will tell if the fire between them will consume them both.
Pandora, the gothic friend of Brooke (Real, Mine, Remy) and Melanie, thought that getting her heart broken by her bad boy rocker ex could only happen once. But now, he’s back in town with the biggest concert of the year. Pandora hates him so much that she gets Melanie to come with her and play a prank on him at his gig. But when they are caught by security, and her ex himself is summoned, he decides not to press charges if she’ll follow certain conditions. Pandora likes none of his rules, or that he’s in charge of her, especially since they seem designed to make sure she’s in close contact with him again. But the closeness reignites the passion they once shared, and soon no matter how much she wants to hate him, it’s clear she’s still hung up on him. And worse: he knows it too.

My Review:
Remy and Brooke. I thought NOONE could beat them.
Then I met Greyson and Mel. Big competition.
No way was I prepared for the story of Mackenna and Pandora!
Emotional from the get go and yet I found myself smiling and laughing at their antics and banter.
Theirs is a deep rooted, heart breaking story of two long lost lovers who were too young and too gullible in their youth. They had such big dreams and aspirations together but their path was railroaded by a person who thought they knew better.
Fast forward 6 gruelling and time stopping years. They meet again. She’s dark and bitter. He’s famous and brooding. They are both still deeply in love. Do they let bygones be bygones and move on together? Do they heck!!
You must be this tall to ride the rollercoaster of the life and love and trial and tribulations that is Kenna and Pandora.
As the story went on and we were all being introduced into the Mackenna and Pandora of the past and present. I started to formulate ideas of what went wrong, how they could still survive and come out as one entity. There were parts I never saw coming. There were parts I thought were coming but didn’t.
And that ending? Never such a bittersweet ending has one of Katy Evans’ books had. I loved it. I devoured it. I want more. I want their happily ever after to be even happier. Never did I imagine the ending of Ripped to be the way it ended at the beginning. One hell of a ride, one more epic love story from Katy and the Real series.
5 ripped and real stars!
