As if a failing nightclub isn’t bad enough, now he has to deal with……a kidnapping???
Legend and Scarlett are from very different worlds, yet chemistry draws them to each other.
Two very strong characters, each with a specific agenda. Can Scarlett draw out the man she’s seen glimpses of in Legend? Can Legend protect Scarlett from the secrets of his past?
This book..I so wish I could give it more then 5 stars because it is so much more then 5 stars. This book had me so wrapped up in it that it was so hard to put down. Every page you turn, you learn something new about the characters. Legend and Scarlett come from two totally worlds. Scarlett was born into a rich world. Her mom made a name for herself and when she died, it went to Scarlett. She is an instagram star and wherever she goes, people follow. This is prime for Legend. He needs a miracle for his club. Scarlett does more then just gets people in the door. She makes him think about what he wants in his life and if he wants a woman in his life. Neither can stop thinking of the other. There’s just something about these two that keep you reading. Despite coming from different worlds, they can’t stop the connection that is sparking between them. I mean it is explosive! Warnings are given but neither care. The ending will break you heart and leave you wanting the next book in this trilogy. I love how we got both point of views and how the author tied certain things together. It blew my mind how well that worked out. I swear my jaw dropped a few times. This book was a remarkable start and I can’t wait to see what happens next! I’m lovin Scarlett and Legend! I’m also expecting more of the douche Chadwick..I just have that feeling he’ll be back. I so need more!!!
I was pulled into this story immediately & couldn’t read it quick enough. I wasn’t ready for it to end, but completely engrossed that I kept turning pages. Scarlett so sweet, but as you read you realize she is much more than the sweet, naive girl. I can’t wait to read more of the bada$$ women she becomes, because I have faith she will. Legend is charming, confusing & oh so sexy! I’m a complete sucker for a broody, broken fighter. The bluntness shown by Legend is making me dislike him a lot, leaving me wondering what is going to happen next. These characters & supporting characters have already made me fall in love with them.
I highly recommend this book. Told in dual POV.
Omg!!! A new dark steamy trilogy that I couldn’t read fast enough!! I want to know more…I love the characters and I love their chemistry. The cliffhanger at the end left my mouth open. Can’t wait for more!
Stop everything your doing and read this book! I was completely blown away from the very first page. I had no idea how this story would go and how things would play out but I’m all in now. We have only had a small little taste of Legend and I want so much more. Scarlett was incredible from the first chapter we meet her. I love everything about her, her personality, her bravery, and ability to get things done. I feel like we are only getting started which what these two will bring to the table and I cant wait to see what comes next. Meghan March always brings it when she writes and The Fall of Legend is not a story you want to miss!
Scarlett and Gabriel are hot chemistry on a stick. The foundation of their meeting is unconventional to say the least, but their chemistry is through the roof. Gabriel is always fighting against his past and knows it will someday come back to bite him. In the meantime he’s going to make something of himself and prove he can do more than fight in a ring. His club Legend is his shinning moment until it fails. Packed full of chemistry and drama Meghan March NEVER disappoints! Of course this also contains her signature cliff hanger…..to be continued…..
You guys this book is EVERYTHING!!! I LOVED this book , and think this is probably the best book I’ve ever read by Meghan. She’s my very favorite author because I always get everything I love from her stories. She writes strong heroines, and delicious alpha heroes unlike any other author I’ve read.
This story is about Gabriel Legend and Scarlett Priest. I’m pretty sure I have a total girl crush on Scarlett! She’s a strong independent woman, who knows the weight her image carries on social media and with the press. She’s humble though and really just wants her Father’s love and approval. Gabe comes from rougher stuff. He’s had to fight his whole life for what he has, and he will go down fighting for his club, Legend, before he loses it, and everything else he’s worked so hard for. He doesn’t get involved with anyone…Especially women. He’s a little broody, very protective of the few he holds close and a lot mysterious. All in a yummy alpha package that Meghan wrote so flawlessly!
I felt like I blinked and had this entire book read! I devoured every word like an addict needing my next fix! My drug being Meghan’s words. Their chemistry is off the charts, there’s so much mystery still left to uncover! And so, just like an addict I’m left with wanting MORE! I need to know what happens next for this couple and I can only imagine what they’ll go through to get their HEA!!! This is book 1 of the Legend trilogy, and the next 2 books can’t come fast enough!
Meghan March never a fails to impress.
Gabriel Legend is the newest hero to be Alpha, swoon-worthy and completely irresistible. He’s unlike any MM character before. He’s angry, vulnerable and trying to stay above water.
Scarlett Priest is everything that Gabriel Legend isn’t. Charismatic, popular, and charming. These two are going up in flames and we can’t stop it. We are along to watch everything burn around them.
The second book is going to be fire.
This is an addictive steamy page-turner!! The story revolves around the dark and brooding, Gabriel Legend and the beautiful socialite, Scarlett Priest. Scarlett is throw into Gabriel’s world on a misunderstanding. He takes their meeting as an advantage and decides to use her expertise in the Social Media world to help him. Their chemistry is off the charts and they both cannot stay away from one other. The more time they spend, the more the fascination grows for one other until it explodes. This is a fantastic set up for this trilogy and cannot wait to find out their story unfolds.
Highly recommend!!!
Meghan is an auto buy for me and as usual she doesn’t disappoint. I’m ready for the next book NOW!
This is the first book in Meghan March’s new Legend trilogy. Per usual I find myself intrigued with where this storyline is headed. Being book one, the author is definitely spending the time building each character and getting readers invested in their stories. I did find this story to be a refreshing change in the type of characters. Normally she starts with men who seem to have the world at their fingertips already, but I didn’t feel like that was the case here and I really enjoyed the change. While it was a bit of a slow burn for me, I have a million questions that I can’t wait for answers to. Can’t wait for book 2!
4.5 stars
Holy Hannah of Hotness!! Boy, does this story crescendo to a perfect peak only to slam back down from whence it came.
Gabriel Legend’s dreams are shattering. He needs a way to save his business and put it back in the black.
Scarlett Priest was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Scarlett and Legend couldn’t be any more different. Convincing her to help him wasn’t a part of the plan… until it was.
The chemistry between these two are palpable. You will definitely want to grab this one and read it. I can’t wait for the next two installments!
I realize this book is the first part of a trilogy. They’re are many dynamics to this story and they are all quite intriguing. I understand that setting up the foundation of Gabriel Legend and Scarlett Priest is essential to the trilogy. They come from different backgrounds and live totally different lives. And while I did like getting to know their backgrounds, their life and their close circle of friends, I found that in the middle of this story is where I found myself skimming. I think it was just that the story didn’t develop as fast as I thought it would.
But towards the end, I found out that I really started to enjoy the relationship between Gabriel and Scarlett. When I finished I wanted more and I can’t wait to see how their relationship develops in the next book. There are many twists and turns and coincidences that I know will fuel the trilogy. Gabe’s tight knit group and Scarlett’s posse of friends add a level of closeness to the story as well.
I’m looking forward to seeing how Scarlett takes control in House of Scarlett.
Another great start to a Meghan March trilogy. I love Scarlet and her beautiful spirit as she meets Legend in a very unorthodox way. Her vulnerability makes her one of my favorite Meghan March heroine. I’m patiently waiting for the next book in this awesome trilogy.
I was so excited to get started with this book and without fail, I was hooked in immediately and finished it in one sitting.
Meghan March didn’t give me a chance to settle in at all! First couple of paragraphs and….BAM!….I was off and running.
And the story just kept getting better and better with every page that I turned.
If you have read any of this author’s previous books, you know she gives us delicious Alpha males that have conquered the world, but in The Fall Of Legend, we get an Alpha in the process of doing so-and I loved every single second of it!
Gabriel Legend is unlike any of the other characters that I have come to love in past books and I think I adore him a little bit more because of that.
He’s still a sexy, passionate Alpha with a past, but this one needs help to achieve his goal and succeed.
And that help comes unexpectedly in the form of Scarlett Priest.
From her name to her attitude-her character practically screams that she’s a badass, and (for me) is right on point!
The slow burn in this book with all of that chemistry going on between these two is absolutely addicting.
The mystery and secrets are at an all time high and have me on the edge of my seat,craving for more.
This is book #1 of the trilogy and I can’t wait to see what happens next in Gabriel and Scarlett’s world.
I would highly recommend this book and any other book by this author.
You have outdone yourself with this one Meghan March!
Overall Rating – .5
It’s no big secret I’m a huge Meghan March fan. Her books have a way of magically pulling me in with her seductive writing and gentle teasing of what’s to come and Gabriel and Scarlett’s story does just that.
Gabe and Scarlett meet in unfortunate circumstances when Gabe’s worker/friend, Bump, kidnaps her and takes her directly to Gabe. He thinks he’s helping Gabe saving his club from going under, not really thinking how wrong it is to kidnap someone. Gabe does need her help. Scarlett is a socialite and brand in herself and wherever she goes, people follow. Gabe knows how popular she is and gets her to help him – in exchange for saving herself!
Gabe and Scarlett have a mutual secret attraction to each other, both of them not being able to stop thinking of the other. I loved Scarlett’s inner thoughts and denial of her feelings but wasn’t able to stop thinking about him when she was alone.
From their initial meet at the start they don’t see each other again until around 50% into the book, I would have liked more interactions but it did build on the sexual tension in the book which I loved.
Scarlett, I loved her. She’s a fighter, can stick up for herself, she’s confident and carries it well. We definitely need more heroines like her in books.
Gabe is a little more broken, always trying to push her away, knowing she doesn’t belong in his world.
I loved this story and although not much has happened drama wise and more teasing between Gabe and Scarlett, there is so much mystery with what is to come.
I loved the side characters, they brought humour (Scarlett’s friends) and showed loyalty and friendship. Although, there are a few shady ones and I look forward to seeing what becomes of them, mainly Chadwick, I have a bad feeling about him.
This was such an easy quick read that I couldn’t put down waiting for Gabe and Scarlett to come together. That ending though! What! I was so happy for them, then wow, c’mon! I’m now dying for House of Scarlett. Such an addictive read as always. Now counting down the days for book two!
*An ARC received for an honest review*

The Fall of Legend is the first book in Legend Trilogy by Meghan March. This book is written in dual POV. and we meet Gabriel Legend and Scarlett Priest. I’ve read other books from this author, so I knew what I was getting myself into when I start to read this book. I love her books and her characters…They are perfect. Meaghan March knows how to create an addictive story.
Gabriel Legend is hiding from his past. He fought hard all his life, he’s done bad and illegal things, so now all he wants is to be legit, hidden, and to plan his revenge. Only he didn’t expect that one of his jokes to become a reality.
One of the most important women of New York stands in his face, in his office, brave and unaffected. Although she is frightened because she was kidnapped and brought to him. But she doesn’t allow showing.
Scarlett Priest is one of the most successful women in New York. She is a social media icon with enough followers to change even something insignificant. She transforms rocks into diamonds. She is a diamond herself. So for Gabriel Legend, she must be a life savior. Gabriel challenges her, and Scarlett never backs down from a challenge.
Scarlett grows and transforms from the beginning of the book through the end of the book. At first, she is strong and brave, but through the story, she is just a little girl that all she wants is her daddy’s attention, love and approval. Only it seems that all she does, nothing is good enough for her father. Only her dating with some douchbag, some pour and lame excuse of a man. Meeting Gabriel Legend changes everything. Her life is turned upside down and she just opens her eyes. She just begins to fight for what she really wants.
Gabriel runs and hides from a lot of things and people. He runs from a lot of persistent crazy women, stalkers even. But he can’t run and hide from Scarlett. The attraction and chemistry between them are too powerful. He wants to stay away from her, but he can not.
I can’t wait for the next book! I need “The House of Scarlett” ASAP!!…So, when this book goes LIVE grab it, and start reading it because if not, you will miss an AMAZING STORY!!!

Great world/story building. We saw a glimpse of Gabriel Legend at the end of White Knight. This book starts off what seems to be a little after that since his club is now up and running. Sort of.
I don’t want to give much as the blurb is pretty vague. But I totally adore Scarlet. I just want to be one of her girlfriends, and hang with her and her friends. She thinks Gabriel Legend is hot, and wants him!
I loved when they were interacting. They were both digging each other. But Gabriel is worried about his past catching up to him. I was sad to get to the end. I can’t wait to see what happens next. And I can’t wait to find out why exactly certain things happened before Legend ran off from Mississippi.
Ms. March has become my go-to author for duets and trilogies, having previously written many sizzling and thoroughly entertaining series, with this latest trilogy just as captivating. With an unforgettable opening scene between the main couple, along with combustible banter and a slow and steady pace, this series starter gets off to a satisfying start that kept me glued to the pages and now counting down until the next installment hits bookshelves.
Gabriel Legend is larger-than-life when it comes to how others see him. To himself though he’s someone who came from rough beginnings, struggling to make something of himself while fighting to make money in order to finally leave his questionable past behind. With the opening of a club bearing his name he hoped to become respectable, but an opening night shoot-out leaves his business on the cusp of closing and him desperate to save it. Saving it means negotiating with a woman very different from himself whose popularity will bring crowds and money rolling in. It also brings unexpected attraction which will change both of them irrevocably. Gabe’s a drool-worthy hero with a background that weighs heavily on him and has him wanting to prove himself. He doesn’t want to count on others to help him, especially a woman after being betrayed by one before, but an impulsive act by his “brother” leaves him no choice. There’s an air of vulnerability to him too that endeared him to me and made him a unique kind of hero that left me protective of him.
Scarlett Priest is a woman who can make or break a business just by showing up. From magazine articles to the internet her face is everywhere as every move she makes is charted. As the daughter of a supermodel mother and a master businessman father, Scarlett appears to have it all. Behind the facade though is a woman who misses her mother, after losing her to cancer, and longing to make her father proud in a fruitless endeavor. When Scarlett first meets Gabe she’s sure she’s going to be killed but as their meeting progresses a strong and assertive side emerges from her that made for some very combustible negotiations that will put them in close quarters. It’s clear that she and Gabe are complete opposites but their attraction to one another is palpable with this book laying a sizzling foundation to their pairing. With each turn of the page you could see Scarlett start to evolve, no longer a pampered princess. She’s strong-willed from the start, self-assured and now ready to live her life to the fullest. Meeting Gabe definitely gives her the chance to live a life she’s never lived before and it had me cheering her on every step of the way in this entertaining series starter.
On a whole this was a well-crafted tale of opposites attracting set amidst a dangerous world that brings together a man from the wrong side of the tracks and a woman who has everything. The main couple is larger than life, crackling from the moment she ended up on the floor of his office, with a connection that slowly builds. It’s a slow burn pace that greets readers here, a pace that digs into the main couple’s pasts that leaves you rooting for them every step of the way. Morsels of mystery were scattered throughout this first installment too to keep readers intrigued and hoping for answers in future installments. Alongside this compelling main couple were a few equally unforgettable secondary characters. The two characters I was most drawn to were Q and Bump, men who work for Gabe but who were more like family. Q was quiet and commanding while Bump was impulsive and clearly had some sort of mental disability. I found his words and deeds funny, I found a kind heart that drives him to be protective of Gabe, and I look forward to more interactions between him, Scarlett, and Gabe. By the turn of the final page readers will find this a captivating series starter with plenty of secrets and lies that need to be dealt with courtesy of Ms. March’s talented storytelling.
The Fall of Legend is perfect for the beginning of the series. We can read this story in the present time from Scarlett & Legend’s POV. The story was slow to start then gradually faster and faster. The chemistry between Scarlett & Legend was tangible. They attract each other like the earth and the moon. Regardless of their first meeting was very unusual. xD
