Can love really conquer all?—Book Six in Katy Evans’s breakout New York Times bestselling series that began with REAL.
Maverick “The Avenger” Cage wants to rise to the top and become a legend in the ring. Though he keeps his identity well guarded, he’s known on the fighting circuit as the new kid with a chip on his shoulder and a tattoo on his back that marks him as trouble. He’s got a personal score to settle with the Underground’s one and only Remington “Riptide” Tate.
As Mav trains, he meets a young girl—the only other new person in the town—and sparks fly. When things get heated between them, he finds out she’s none other than Reese Dumas, the cousin of Remington Tate’s wife. A girl who’s supposed to root against him and a girl he’s supposed to stay away from.
But Mav fights for the woman in his heart and the monsters in his blood. The world’s eyes are on them, and the victor will go down in history as the ultimate fighting champion—the ultimate LEGEND.
I’m sure all of you noticed, but this cover is so hot that I’m almost breathless! I mean look at those abs!!! Damn! (haha.)
First of all I want to say that this story deserves more than five stars, but that’s all I’m able to give it.
I am sad to say this will be the last installment of the “Real” series that the lovely Katy Evans has written, but have no fear because this book is smoke HOT! Normally I write my own version of the blurb, but I can’t because I would be so tempted to reveal events that everyone should experience themselves.
But I will say this! Legend is an amazing book and I couldn’t put it down AT ALL! Katy has managed to not only help me find my love toward MMA fighting once again, but she made this story powerful and bittersweet. I was a goner before I even finished the first chapter. I love Maverick. His character is certainly complex which I loved because with each page I got to find a little bit more about him. Mystery was the key for this story for me because it wasn’t predictable and the suspense kept me going. I enjoyed that we didn’t see right away what Maverick had planned. (hehe- can’t say anymore.) Now, Reese was a sweet, intelligent and very determined when it came to Maverick which I found intriguing, but what I love was that she seemed to have just a tad bit of innocent/shyness which I believe had Maverick lock in on her.
Once again Katy did an amazing..no wonderful…no SPECTACULAR job with the writing, development of the characters and most importantly the relationship between Maverick and Reese. Their wasn’t as much drama like the other books which was a relief. I don’t mind drama, but it was nice to see that they weren’t going to have an unnecessary argument or misunderstanding that could be cleared up right away. In addition I loved that we get to see all the other characters from the previous books and of course Remy and Brooke’s little son, Racer. (He’s just darling!)
I have to say that Remy might have to move over because I’m loving Maverick. 😉
If you’re a fan of Katy Evans that I highly suggest reading the “Real” series! – Reviewed by Julianne Knutson
