Lover of Romance 

Legend is a book that I have been anxious for in quite a while, and I had no clue we would get some much fun interaction with Remy and Brooke and their little boy Racer in this book. The heroine is Brooke’s cousin and the hero is a underground MMA fighter Maverick “The Cage” Avenger. This was one of the most emotionally provoking book since Real.

This story begins with Maverick searching for a way to prove himself. His father is dying in the hospital and all that he left him was his fighting gloves. His mother didn’t approve of him becoming a fighter, because his father was once a good man but the fighting twisted him into something not so good. But Maverick knows that fighting is in his blood and wants a chance to be somebody. But as he tries to find his way he meets a girl, Reece Dumas, who is kind and beautiful and gives him tips and helps him when no one does. Their relationship begins slowly but soon chemistry explodes and love begins to form. Reece is Brooke’s cousin and is taking care of their son Racer while Remy does his last season of fighting. But Reece and Mav’s love will be tested and proved….

I absolutely had a blast with this book and time just flew by while reading it. There were many fun factors in this book. The first was the most unexpected, the friendship between Remy and Maverick. Remy sees something in Maverick, he sees himself in this young man and he reaches out to help him train. He knows that Maverick is the son of his greatest enemy and the man that almost destroyed him and his wife. But he knows that Maverick is a lot more than his father. He sees a man that is more than worthy to be his opponet in the ring.

The romance that develops between Maverick and Reece is so tender and poignant that there were times when I just wanted to cry because their quiet moments together were so heart achingly sweet and so romantic. I love the depth of their bond to each other and they just connect. They understand each other and support one another in the most vital ways. It was so beautiful seeing their love blossom and grow in this book. Their story sweeps you up in powerful emotion that the reader doesn’t want to let go of.

The ending was PURE PERFECTION….it was intense and vital to the story and keeps you on edge in suspense and seeing Remy and Maverick have their fight and prove themselves and see their friendship explode was truly magnificent.

This book will devastate, instill powerful emotions and make you fall head over heels in love with Maverick and Reece’s love tale!!

“I want to be a legend.”

AHHHH!!!!! I’ve already found my favorite book of 2016 so far – Katy Evans’ Legend is BRILLIANT!! Just the PERFECT ending to a series I utterly adore. Katy wows me every time I read one of her books, but Legend just might be my favorite of hers yet. Seriously, I loved everything about Legend so. much. From the adorable heroine, to the alpha hero, to the epic ending… This book was everything I expected and more. If you’re a fan of the Real series, you absolutely need to get your hands on this final book!

For the summer, Reese Dumas is moving in with her cousin Brooke, Brooke’s husband Remy, and their son Racer. Reese is there to babysit Racer, but she’s also there to to basically find herself. She has issues with self-esteem and confidence, so she wants to take the time with the Tates to work on herself, mentally and physically. And it’s at a gym where she meets Maverick, a fighter with whom she forms an indelible connection. He’s gorgeous, quiet, and a little mysterious, and all Reese wants to do is unravel every piece of him the way he does her.

He gives me this rebel vibe. Like he’d rather say I’m sorry than may I, and maybe not even the “sorry” at all. There’s a fierce passion in his features and a kindled fire in his eyes. I admire passionate people. People who burn out everyone around them, they’re so passionate, they want so much, they crave so much.

Maverick “The Avenger” Cage is on a mission of his own to fight in the Underground and work his way up to the top and become the champion. He wants to prove that he’s worth more than what he got from his neglectful father and that he’s an even better fighter than his father was. My heart fell for Maverick right from the start – he’s a little rough around the edges, but he’s got the biggest heart, and the determination and strength within him had me in awe.

Maverick and Reese. Reese and Maverick. I loved these two individually and I loved these two together. And heads up, they are utter PERFECTION together. Their powerful love story gripped my heart and didn’t let go even after I finished the book. Katy Evans knows how to write love in its most primal, raw, intense way – I was completely swept away by Reese and Maverick’s love for one another.

I’m memorizing her. It’ll take me forever, but I’m dedicated and I want to memorize every tiny inch and pore with my eyes and my fingers and my tongue.

I’m always such a sucker for Katy Evans’ alpha heroes, and Maverick is just breath-taking. I’m obsessed with him. Not only is he fiercely dedicated to becoming the champion, his love and devotion for Reese blow me away. When he falls, he falls so hard – Maverick is the sweetest alpha-male I’ve ever read!

“You’re priceless. Gold. Not gold, you’re the whole fucking mine to me. Do you know that?”

What surprised me in this book was the connection Maverick also forms with Remy. Remy is the current champion of the Underground, but Maverick is the only one to come close to Remy’s fighting level. As the two of them bond over their practice fights together, Remy becomes somewhat of a father-figure to Maverick. Every scene with the two of them together had me full-on smiling because there was just something wonderful and inspiring how they pushed each other to become the best fighter and man they could be.

We come full circle in the series with the epic ending in Legend. I honestly can’t imagine a more perfect ending for the series. This book is perfection – I swooned, I sighed, I gasped… I felt every word of Legend. If you’re a fan of the series, you’ll be happy to know there is lots of Remy, Brooke, and Racer, both from Reese and Maverick’s perspectives. And if you haven’t read the series yet, you’re missing out on some powerful love stories and swoony, sexy alpha-males. It’s a bittersweet ending for sure that the series is over, but only Katy Evans could have me finishing Legend with a giddy smile on my face.
