As the media had an insatiable thirst for new information about Gibson and his life it left Chloe constantly watching over her shoulder, fearful her past would rear its ugly head again.
Gibson promised to protect Chloe, but how could he keep her safe from the past that still haunts her with his life in the spotlight? When Gibson’s trust is put to the test how will he react.

Gibson’s Legacy
An amazing rockstar read! Gibson’s a rockstar that often plays in the bar where Chloe works. Chloe and Gibson are attracted to each other right from the beginning. Chloe has encountered Gibson in compromising situations on several occasions and doesn’t have the best impression of him. Gibson thinks Chloe is innocent and sweet and definitely not the kind of girl he’s used too. They go their separate ways and five years later they reconnect again over a wrong phone call. No spoilers from me!! I absolutely loved this story and highly recommend you give it a read, you won’t be disappointed.
Trusting Gibson
This book picks up where Gibson’s Legacy left off and it’s amazing. Chloe and Gibson struggle with having trust issues (mainly Chloe) and together they have their ups and downs and take you on an emotional rollercoaster ride. I loved the connection and chemistry between Gibson and Chloe. This book is a beautiful love story and it will tug at your heart strings….it’s definitely a must read.
When Chloe catches Gibson’s eye before he becomes famous, she has a low opinion of him. When they meet again years later by the hand of fate, it takes a lot of work on Gibson’s part to make her realize the man he’s become. They go through a lot together. I love the angst, anticipation, fears, trials and tribulations as their story plays out. This is an amazing series!
Chloe and Gibson story is not like anything I ever read. My favorite series from this author
Gibson and Chloe’s story in a boxset is just perfect because once you’ve finished reading Gibson’s Legacy you will most definitely head straight for the next book to continue their story. Not realising there was a boxset to purchase I have read the books individually. So here are my reviews showing my thoughts and feelings about both books. I’m certain you’ll enjoy this story too!
Gibson’s Legacy
Gibson’s Legacy is another great Rockstar romance story penned by K.L. Shandwick.
Gibson Barclay has always been a cocky man-whore, even in his club singing days. As the lead singer of the hugely successful band M3rCy, he has access to an endless stream of women who are more than willing to tend to his needs. What I loved about him is that he knows this – it’s the way he has always behaved and he doesn’t shy away from acknowledging his previous behaviour, even when he is trying to impress. I also loved getting to know the real Gibson and seeing him consider how his actions in the past may have affected others. He is frustrated because he wants others to see the real him and not the public image that is portrayed, which I could totally understand. He certainly isn’t the man I originally thought he was going to be and although he could have dealt with certain situations differently, I felt it showed his human side.
Chloe Jenner and Gibson have met before and I enjoyed the way that they were introduced back into each other’s lives. They certainly have a connection and the sexual chemistry is off the charts! Chloe hasn’t had an easy time over the past few years and her story broke my heart. I could see and feel her reluctance to trust others and her hesitation regarding future relationships. She’s young and beautiful and deserves to be happy, and I truly hope that she gains the self-confidence and self-esteem to succeed in all areas of her life.
I love that the story is written in dual POV. Learning the thoughts and feelings of both Gibson and Chloe enhanced the story. However, when I read a book my preference is that the story should always progress and at times some of the scenes in this story were repeated, switching to show the other person’s side of a particular scene using the same dialogue which irked me a little. As I say, this is just the way I like to read and other readers may enjoy gaining a greater insight into a certain situation this way.
I really enjoyed reading Gibson’s Legacy. It certainly isn’t the first book by this author that I have read as she’s a favourite of mine. I am glad I can head straight into the next book in this series, which is Trusting Gibson, as I am intrigued to discover what happens next with Chloe and Gibson.
Trusting Gibson
The title of this book couldn’t be more perfect for this story. Trusting Gibson continues Chloe and Gibson’s journey where Gibson’s Legacy ended and trust is extremely important to Chloe but it is also something that she struggles with. Gibson is a mega famous rock star that every woman wants a piece of and add to the mix how the media often distorts what they publish, then you can imagine that they are probably going to have some bumpy moments along the way.
The first half of the book I felt gave us an insight as to how Chloe and Gibson’s new life together was evolving. The second part was unputdownable as the pace of the book changed and the couple faced situations that was so hard for me to read at times. I felt that the author did a fabulous job of showing us how certain scenes affected both Chloe and Gibson and it was heartbreaking to see them both go through what they did.
I love Gibson but there were times when I didn’t know whether I wanted to hug him or throttle him. I adore Chloe’s strength and determination which she shows an abundance of in this book. They really are perfect for each other. The love that they share and the chemistry between them is undeniable and I loved seeing the couple work to try to overcome the obstacles that kept standing in the way of them finding their HEAs together.
This is another great story from K.L. Shandwick and I’m feeling lucky that I have Gibson’s Melody ready to read as I cannot wait to see what Gibson and Chloe can achieve together.
Gibson’s Legacy #1
Gibson is a rock star with a reputation, it started before he and the band became famous and has followed him into adult hood. Chloe knew him slightly way back, enough to see how he earned said reputation. Though she feels she missed a chance back then she has no intention of becoming another notch to him. Life has been hard for her, a long term relationship has left her with little trust in men. A wrong number phone call hours after beginning a new life gradually sparks something inside her.
Lots of angst and misconceptions make for a bit of a roller coaster of highs and lows for this couple, it is intense and sometimes raw with emotion. Frustration for Gibson in trying to do right by Chloe but at the same time his need for her is overwhelming. For Chloe it is the fear of trusting again, the feeling of not being good enough and of just being someone Gibson wants only until he gets what he wants from all women then him dropping her like all the others.
This is a fast paced read with a good flow throughout, the emotions go through a full range right along with these two characters. Just the sort of read I love, I tend to get lost in the story and suck it all in, I get a lump in my throat when the characters are upset and I find myself clenching my fist when things are tense.
Only draw back is that this isn’t a stand alone book it continues into book 2, a bit like KL Shandwick Ready For Flynn Series so you need to be prepared to commit to that before you read. Do I feel its worth doing that? YES I do without hesitation, I enjoyed the other series and this first one in this series doesn’t disappoint in any way.
Trusting Gibson #2
This second book in Gibson’s series picks up right where book one finished which is awesome, it means no gap and no missing anything. Boy so much anguish and pain in parts of this had me reading with a massive lump in my throat, I do love stories that suck me right in so I just don’t hear or see anything else while I’m reading it and this definitely did that. There is so much content and so many different aspects of this couples lives and you just want everything to work out for them, Gibson has a great charm with his cheeky grins and hot looks. But he is honest about his faults and quick to own up when he knows he has done wrong, making him very loveable. He is also very loving and loyal, willing to give everything and protect those he loves to the maximum no matter the cost in money. Chloe has such a vulnerability from being abused by Kace before finding the strength to leave him, now she is trying to get stronger and learn to trust again until the unthinkable happens. The love between these two is strong and the bond they share will hopefully get them through all life chucks in there way. Honestly this series is a serious rival to the Ready For Flynn Series in popularity, it has everything and more that you could want from a romance and is well worth the investment of reading a continuing series. I read and am given a lot of arcs and early read books from authors in return for honest reviews but I am very happy that I actually bought these two books and still happier to give honest reviews for them. KL Shandwick has yet again shone through with her writing and I cant wait for more.
Gibson’s Melody
After trying allsorts and having tests Chloe & Gibson are resigned to not having children of their own, but fate steps in.
Piper desperately grieving the loss of her mum is still a minor, just before her mum died however she had a talk with Gibson and Chloe to discuss what would be best for Piper.
Having lost my own mum at a young age and the desperate grief that completely over whelmed me I could really empathise with Piper, my heart was breaking for her. How both Gibson and Chloe handle Piper with understanding and help was so sensitive, being open and honest with her as well as lots of hugs and love was just what she needed. There is another twist though to this story and I felt sad for this loving and supportive couple, glad they stay strong together. Being upfront and honest about their feelings pleased me, it would have spoilt my view of both of them had they changed.
Its a raw and very emotional read, it has a powerful plot that has you in tears one minute and chuckling the next. This is a novella companion to the main series story in the Last Score series, (Gibson’s Legacy and Trusting Gibson)of which take place before this, to understand this couple fully I do suggest you read them first. I very much look forward to more, especially Piper’s book. I cant wait to read how that goes with Gibson playing a very alpha male protective dad.
