House of Scarlett gives us a different side of Gabriel Legend…..a side I am thankful we get to “see”. It’s also where we get to see Gabriel and Scarlett develop their relationship and work through all the walls the get erected in their lives.
One thing I know going into Ms. March’s books, I’m getting a story with so many dynamics and a couple that has to work for what they want…..each other.
If I thought the first part of this trilogy was good, this part is amazing!
House of Scarlett picks up where Fall of Legend stops and you are diving straight back into the world of Scarlett and Legend with the chemistry and connection between them seriously stepping up a level that I am sure steam was coming off my kindle.
With twists and turns, mixed with secrets you will be on the edge of your seat, unable to put this beauty down until you have finished as you want to know what is going to happen NOW.
I really loved how Scarlett has grown in this one. She is much stronger and knows her worth. She is fully prepared to walk away from those that aren’t worth her time and I was very relieved to see Gabriel Legend finally give up the fight and embrace his feelings for Scarlett.
I am having a serious LOVE/HATE relationship with Meghan right now as I loved this book but I know have to wait for the next one which I hate especially after how she has left this one!!!
I am eagerly waiting in anticipation for the conclusion to this trilogy.
All I can say is WOW. Scarlett and Legend were so good. It was heartbreaking to see why he was the way he was in his past life but it helped you understand him better. When he realized that he was the man for her, watching Gabriel and Scarlett’s relationship grow in this book was wonderful. The chemistry between them was off the charts and the loyalty between them was so good. There is another cliffhanger but it will be worth it when book 3 comes out because if it is anything like books 1 and 2, it will be one heck of a love story and I am all for it. Ms. March knows how to write such wonderful stories and characters that will pull you in and you won’t ever want to leave their world. All I can say is that she never leaves you disappointed. Love her work.
I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
Meghan March has outdone herself. She once again has created a world I never wanted to leave. The suspense kept building as the story kept drawing me in further to the lives of Scarlett and Legend. Not only were the side characters just an interesting, they made the story even better. I really hope they get books of their own in the future.
Scarlett and Legend’s chemistry is off the charts. They not only fell further in love with one another, but the circumstances around their lives built more suspense. OH MY WORD What a cliff hanger. Meghan is now who I consider the Queen of Cliffies….I NEED to get my hands on book three as soon as possible.
I have to know how Scarlett and Legend’s story ends!
From the moment I started this book I couldn’t put it down. Gabriel and Scarlett’s story is COMPLETELY ADDICTING and CAPTIVATING.
If you haven’t read The Fall of Legend, just stop right here and go read that one first. House of Scarlett is a continuation and picks up right where things left off. I loved the continuation of their relationship and watching it grow and progress. Their chemistry and their connection is just becoming stronger and stronger as the story progresses.
I love Gabriel and Scarlett, but my favorite part about this book? The relationship between Scarlett and her friends is AMAZING. Seriously, those women have each other’s back. Side note: Flynn is AMAZING.
HOLY CLIFFHANGER! Seriously, if you thought the end for The Fall of Legend was killer, just you wait. I CAN NOT wait to see what is in store next for Gabriel and Scarlett.
Gabriel Legend has joined the ranks of one of my top book boyfriends this year! Book 2 in The Legend Trilogy is epic! Scarlett and Gabe are perfection together! The have such an explosive chemistry the the heat will have you burning up. The final instalment can’t come soon enough. The author leaves you hanging with OMG coming out of your mouth! Meghan March has set the bar with House of Scarlett. I can’t wait to see her top this book since this is her best work to date.
Nothing about Scarlett is forgettable for Gabriel. In spite of the former fighter’s reluctance to form an emotional connection to the beautiful Scarlett, Gabriel just cannot seem to control his thoughts. Pushing Scarlett away is the only thing that Gabriel knows to do to keep her safe. With a past that is full of danger lurking by the wayside, Gabriel is determined to keep Scarlett from getting too close. Even if pushing Scarlett away means hurting her heart in the process.
With a group of friends that are ‘ride or die’ by her side, Scarlett is determined to continue on with her obligations and business. The sentiment is easier to do than said. After all – there is the constant reminder that Gabriel is the siren’s song to Scarlett’s heart. What’s a girl to do? When a situation that calls for intervention from Scarlett’s girl tribe comes into play, Gabriel will find himself faced with the reality of his desire. Can the rugged club owner turn his back once more? Will the beckoning of a life with Scarlett be more than Gabriel can ignore?
House of Scarlett is the second book in the Legend Trilogy by Meghan March. The story begins right where the first book ends, so make sure you read the first book to understand the entire plot. Scarlett and Gabriel are heating things up in the second installment, and readers will find themselves captivated by the secrets from Gabriel’s past. Nothing about the two will remain off limits in this tale of turmoil and redemption. Only time will tell where the two will end up, but the journey to uncovering their souls will captivate fans of the author. One thing is certain – the third book in the series will hold all the nuances that you have been dying to uncover. Get ready for the myth….the man….the Legend!!
After the cliffhanger in the first book, we were left with two people who were misunderstood and who’s pasts are keeping them apart.
Legend doesn’t think he should bring the beauty from the ivory tower into his world and the beauty from the ivory tower just wants a life that is a little bit messy.
After a “near death” incident, Legend is forced to face the fact that he does not want to live in a world with out Scarlett in it….and he intends to prove his worth to her. The way he does is quite swooney to say the least. He is kind and thoughtful and fiercely loyal…..and well, sexy as hell.
As they work together thru their differences and helping one another with both personal and business endeavors, one thing is abundantly clear, they are falling for each other….and with that comes the risk of losing it all.
Legend has a past, not a pretty one and one that comes with enemies……(enter another cliffhanger)
An absolute pleasure to read……bring on the next!!
Ummmm…..what just happened? I literally just finished and I’m kind of in a daze. A Meghan March induced daze.
House or Scarlett starts off with a memory from a younger Gabriel. A heartbreaking look into his childhood. Then fast forward to now…..right where The Fall of Legend ended. We are back THERE. Remember that cliffy??! Yup. We get some answers. We get so much more of Gabriel Legend.
Both Gabriel and Scarlet are complex characters with off the charts chemistry and that made House of Scarlet a fantastic read.
All I’m going to say is…..prepare. Meghan’s signature twist and turns are OFF THE CHARTS with this book and the cliffy??? Well, you might need alcohol.
I really love all of her books and this books is no different but I just hate waiting for the next book to come and I really hate cliffhangers but I loved this book so much

4.5 Stars
Gabriel and Scarlett shouldn’t work as a couple. They really shouldn’t. But, that is probably my favorite thing about these books and this series. Gabriel is a fighter, literally, and club owner from Mississippi and Scarlett grew up rich in Manhattan. You know this from the 1st book, but it’s developed in this one and you really get a feel for the characters, for who they are and for what is important to each of them.
As is often the case with 2nd books in trilogies, this one was a lot of character development. You really care about all of the main players by the end of this one…just in time for yet another doozy of a cliffhanger. And, as you have spent the book getting to know them, this one is a little bit stressful. You have a pretty good idea that they are going to be fine…but, it’s still a cliffhanger that gets you.
I enjoyed and recommend this title.
House of Scarlett is book two in the Legend Trilogy. I loved the first book but this one is my current favorite! Gabe and Scarlett together was just scorching. I really loved Gabe, he was swoony! After that ending, I am dying to read the next book!!
Let me just say, I love Gabriel. This poor man has not let his past stand in his way to make his future. While he knows he is better off now, he still has sins from his past that are catching up with him. Gabriel Legend is a fighter, through and through. Whether it be in the ring or just in life, he fights for what he wants.
In the Fall of Legend, he walked away from what he wanted because he felt he would never be good enough for her. Scarlett comes from a higher social class than Legend but she isn’t one to judge. She wants love and won’t settle for anything less now that she has gotten a taste. When Gabriel left her without a backwards glance, she picked herself up, dusted off and got on with her life, even if she knows no one will compare.
What I loved about this book is that you can see the sensitive side of Legend. He has such a hard exterior, but he knows what he found in Scarlett and would be an idiot to let that go. True to Meghan March fashion, she left us with an EPIC cliffhanger so the conclusion cannot come soon enough, in my opinion. I love these two.
If you thought you love Gabriel Legend in the first book, you are going to fall even harder in House of Scarlett. Meghan March delivers another steaming hot romance with perfect balance of passion, emotion and suspense. This story also has a wickedly witty side and I love that new shade so much!
So Gabriel has pushed away Scarlett brutally and hurt her because he does not think himself to be worthy of such an innocent, beautiful and pure soul. Scarlett is heartbroken, confused and at the same time angry. But her loyal girl gang will do some trick to bring back Legend in her orbit who was already regretting how he behaved with the best thing happening to him after a long time. He is hell bent on proving that he can be the man good enough for Scarlett. But his shadowy past and the almost failing business is going to bring some dangerous twists in his life? Can he protect Scarlett or as usual everything will be taken away from him?
Scarlett has become one of my favorite characters by Meghan. She has a soft heart with vulnerabilities put in there by her early life and the men he dated. But she has gradually become a far more assertive person with strength and sass in this story. She is fighting her battles with head high and holding her ground in front of an intimidating man like Legend. She is hell bent on making her own decisions and taking control of her sex life. And that is absolutely adorable and awe inspiring. And Legend has a lot to do with her evolution. They are soul mates in every way. Legend added the dash of thrill and liveliness in her life. And she soothed his scars and made him crave a better life. What can I say about this man? He is the bad boy alpha male with rough edges and dangerous magnetism. He is so freaking sexy and beautiful. Yes I said beautiful as that’s what this man is inside out. He is protective to an extreme and caring like anything. He took care of Scarlett in the most gentle and precious way while she was recovering. And my heart is gone. Seriously I cannot resist his charm and sweet gestures. Neither can I resist his sheer power and ruthless skills in the ring. His wild, destructive and broken sides hold equal appeal to me. That cliffhanger was maddening but I have come to expect such from Meghan. This story is a minefield and I was at the edge all the time!
Scarlett and Legend is one of my most favorite couples by Meghan March ever. They not only have sizzling hot chemistry, they share this breathtaking connection that is simply amazing. I cheered for them. I shed tears when they got hurt. And I feel unadulterated happiness for their true love. But this thrilling adrenaline filled journey is not over yet. And I am beyond excited to see what Meghan March has in store for me in the conclusion of this epic series.

OMG!!!! This book was AMAZING!!! I loved it even more than The Fall of Legend.
I was instantly captivated by this story and Gabriel Legend is so swoon worthy in this book. I loved him so much after reading book 1, but this book has solidified him in my heart. If you don’t fall in love with Legend in this book, then I don’t know what to say. But even though Legend was amazing, so was Scarlett. I absolutely LOVE her character. She is fierce, strong, independent but also has a vulnerable side that made me want to give her a HUGE hug!!! I think Legend and Scarlett are a match made in heaven!!!!
House of Scarlett is the second book in Meghan March’s Legend Trilogy. This book does take off right where book 1 ended. But again this is not a standalone novel. You HAVE to read The Fall of Legend first before starting this book and this book also leaves you hanging on a pretty brutal CLIFFHANGER!!! If you aren’t a fan of cliffy’s then I would recommend waiting until all three books have released and then you can binge read all the books together.
In this book we get to know both Scarlett and Legend better, but we also get to see them as a couple. I loved how protective Legend is but I also loved that he was able to let Scarlett speak her mind as well. They compliment each other well. As with book 1, these two characters have some amazing chemistry….Kindle melting 😉 I can’t say a lot about the story because this is a story that has to reveal itself to the readers.
If you are a fan of Meghan’s books, then you will definitely want to meet Scarlett and Gabriel. They are shaping up to be one of my favorite Meghan March couples.
Gah! That cliffhanger nearly killed me off, i wasn’t paying attention to the percentage and it snuck up on me and knocked me on my butt.
The second installment of Gabriel and Scarlett’s story and let me tell you it’s getting better and better, the tension was amazing.
I always seem to really like the second books in a trilogy slightly more than the others, not sure why, maybe it’s because it’s the continuation of the story but still not the end but the cliffhangers get me everytime. Especially Meghan March cliffhangers.
Gabriel still love him something fierce, we see a different side to him in the one and i absolutely loved that.
Scarlett i still really like too, she knows how to stand her ground and put Gabriel in his place!
Dying for the next one!
I could not wait to get to this book after that cliffhanger in book one that made me just want to smack sense into Gabriel Legend. His self worth issues and need to protect those around him caused him to make a choice that affected them both (and made me crazy!).
But this is where we get to the nitty-gritty with these two characters. It is time to deal with the idea of going back to life as it was before. or to figure out what they can and cannot live without. Until they are ready to face their fears, issues from their pasts, and take a chance, then there is no hope. But if they can start to believe in the possibility of something good, then maybe there can be a chance. Now is the time to get real and get serious, or give it up for good.
But Legend has a lot of making up to do. He hit Scarlett right at her Achille’s heel. She already has enough abandonment issues, not that Legend doesn’t as well. They come from different worlds, but also have common issues, history, and traits. They are both stubborn, loyal, guarded, protective, and are fixers. They push each other out of their comfort zones. Something about the other just makes them feel more alive and happy. But they have a lot of baggage to wade through.
I am totally in love with Legend. He is such a dichotomy between the intimidating, tough, ex-fighter, alpha, and the tender, sweet, protective, loyal man underneath. And Scarlett could be an entitled diva due to her circumstances, but she is actually real, caring, and kind of quirky. These two have so much potential for growth and are catalysts for change. They both keep a small inner circle they trust and will do anything for those they care about. It will come down to whether they feel that they are worthy to be in each other’s small trusted group.
And danger is lurking in the background. Legend’s past is still haunting and chasing him. And even Scarlett has some enemies of her own. So even if they figure out where they stand, there is still no much more to deal with.
The side characters are all so unique, fun, and opinionated. This world is so layered and well built and I feel like I just stepped into it and am one of the sidekicks seeing it all play out. It is intriguing, witty, sexy, emotional, and intense. There are so many working parts, possible antagonists, and mysteries left to uncover. And there is an underlying suspense thread adding tension, anxiety, and fear.
I was completely engaged and invested throughout this book. And even though I knew another cliffhanger was coming, I still was not emotionally prepared! I cannot wait for the last installment. There are still so many things to tie up and so much I want to see happen. And even then I am not sure I will be ready to let these characters go. I am already hoping for possible spinoffs with the side characters.
WHYYYY!!!! This is a great amazing book! But there is a killer cliff hanger! I so can’t wait until January for the final book 🙁 So much is left undone at the end!!! Will Legend keep the club? Will he survive the fight? Who is Scarlett’s troll? Who is this Bouford guy?? SO MANY QUESTIONS & TOO MANY WEEKS UNTIL January 2020.
Okay, so that’s a bit dramatic but this book guys, is awesome. I loved it. The relationship forming with Gabe & Scarlett is so pure and sweet. They are adorable and I love the “Lady Bug” nickname and all Scarlett’s salt n pepper shakers. I need a spin-off for Flynn like yesterday too. Phenomenal story, Meghan. Great job!
House of Scarlett is even more compelling and swoon-tastic than anything I have read before from Meghan March!
Gabriel Legend is by far, the most swoon worthy hero to date. He is making my heart melt like butter and my knees turn to jelly. His incredible thoughtfulness and caring and protective nature is such a HUGE turn on for me. This man…my god, he is EVERYTHING! And Scarlett, what a surprising temptress she is turning out to be. She is amazingly strong, self sufficient and is remarkably caring. I love her personality and enjoy the beautiful sparks that fly between her and Legend. This is written GOLD and I am ACHING for The Fight For Forever after that heart stopping cliffhanger that is for sure! What a spectacular trilogy this is becoming.
House Of Scarlett gets a SWOON WORTHY FIVE HEART STOPPING STARS!
Another brilliant read in the Scarlett and Gabriel trilogy. Damn these two even apart they have amazing chemistry. Gabriel may have some flaws and he may have some serious self doubt, but holy I’ll take one of him. Scarlett for such an amazing woman who has accomplished so much is the exact same, self doubt. Two ppl way different lifestyle and way different upbringing, but so similar and so perfect for each other. I’m dying for the last book, especially after that ending!
