Synopsis ~
Every woman wants
me--except the one I sing for.
Seattle shakes with
anticipation: they call it the concert of the year. They say girls are getting
pregnant just thinking about my band being in town.
But when you love a
girl, you don't leave her with nothing but a ring and a promise. Any man with
half a brain should know.
So what did I expect
my girl would do when she saw me again?
Well, for starters,
she loathes our music. Particularly the song I wrote about her.
When I sing it, the
stadium is in an uproar. Thousands of fans scream my name like I'm a god--but
yeah, not her. Crystal clear: the girl's not happy to see me.
Black hair, black
boots, a bad attitude, that's her -- Pandora Stone is a freaking man-eater and
she's out for my blood.
That's alright.
Let her come at me.
Because I'm out for her heart and, this time, there's no way she can stop me.

~ Review ~
Well another installment in the Real Series....I knew that this one was going to be good...I mean first off is Katy Evans and second...did you see that cover! I absolutely loved this book and Kenna and Pandora's struggle to admit what they were both trying to hide under their tough exteriors. That underneath it all they were connected regardless of the time and obstacles between them.
When Pandora saw that Mackenna's band would be playing in Seattle a million emotions ran through her but in the end the one that won out was revenge.
Looking to embarrass Kenna in front of is adoring fans fanned the flames between them into a raging inferno. Now put in a position where she must spend time with and see Kenna everyday Pandora tries hard to convince herself she wants no part of him....that he is her past and that's where he should stay, because once Pandora's box is open he would leave again.
Kenna has plans of his own......a secret of his own. The rockstar fell for her years before and has been unable to escape her memory even in his music. Now face to face with his past he wants to ensure that they have a future.
The teasing and taunting between the two is infuriating and endearing at the same time. They both seem to feel that they don't deserve a chance at happiness. I found myself wrapped up in this story from the first page all the way through the end. The chemistry between the two was palpable. Kenna's need to protect Pandora was intense.
But will their love be enough to overcome their past and set them on a path to a future together? Can the past mistakes be forgiven even if not forgotten? Will they decide to put themselves first and dismiss all of the outside forces?
Well, go grab your copy of RIPPED and see for yourself. Although this is part of the Real Series it can be read as a standalone. Not sure if Katy has more planned for this series, but these are characters I wouldn't mind catching up with again.

A little insight into Writing RIPPED from Katy
RIPPED
– I’m so excited to be sharing with everyone RIPPED, Real series book #5! J
RIPPED
began with Pandora, Brooke (Real, Mine and Remy) and Melanie’s (Rogue) goth
friend. She’s such a wounded warrior and so bitter that I was completely hooked
wanting to know—what happened? What made her like this? Why does she hate men
so much?
And
that’s how I met her man, Mackenna Jones.
He’s
back in Seattle for the concert of the year, and Pandora hates him so much, she
is still so stuck in the past for having loved (and lost) him when she was
young, she’s determined to go pay him a visit and give him a little something
to remember her by. Nothing nice, I assure you.
And
that’s where RIPPED totally exploded for me. It’s one of those books where I
couldn’t stop writing even for a second. It seemed like I just opened Pandora’s
box of secrets and they came spilling out, one after the other. Memories, what
truly happened in her eyes, in his eyes, their first kiss (sigh) and so much
more. Their past is tumultuous and passionate and their present, when they
reunite again, is just as passionate and rocky. They have a long way to go to
their HEA but, though Pandora doesn’t feel she deserves it and has never let
herself want it, Mackenna has another plan to conquer back his girl.
What
I love about this couple in particular is how equal they seem—the push and the
pull always kept me guessing as to who had control of the situation, sometimes
Pandora had Mackenna by the pants, and plenty of others it was Mackenna who
kept getting the upper hand, knowing each and every one of Pandora’s weaknesses
(including that he is the main one.)
He
is the boy she could never forget.
She
is the girl no other girl has ever compared.
Things
are about to get RIPPED during Mackenna’s concert tour when his manager thinks
it brilliant to force Pandora to tag along. J
Katy Evans grew up with books and book-boyfriends until she found a real sexy boyfriend to love. They married and are now hard at work on their own happily ever after. Katy loves her family and friends, and she also loves reading, walking, baking, and being consumed by her characters until she reaches “The End.” Which is, hopefully, only the beginning…
