Thrilling seductive and suspenseful, this is Book 1 in The Legend Trilogy and it’s off to a great start.
Insta attraction opposites attracting on steroids!
Full of twists and unexpected turns, these 2 main characters are well matched as they embark on a combustible dance with lasting consequences.
Family secrets and behind the scene deals set the stage for book 2.
I cannot wait to see what direction the author is going to take.
Meghan did it again! She is such an awesome writer and is able to bring the characters to such vivid life. The Fall of Legend is the first in a new series starring Legend and Scarlett. They have such great chemistry as all of Meghan’s characters do but there is a lot push and pull between these two. They come from very different backgrounds but somehow are drawn to each other…opposites attract right?!? Cannot wait for the next book!!
From New York Times bestselling author Meghan March comes a new deliciously dangerous alpha hero in The Fall of Legend, the first book in the brand new and utterly addictive Legend Trilogy.
„Gabriel Legend, you’re not going to know what hit you.”
She did it again! Meghan March has created another addictive and unputdownable story with ALL THE FEELS! The Fall of Legend is a breathtaking book, full of many unexpected twists and sexual tension so strong that the Kindle evaporates! I’m completely in love with Scarlett and Gabriel!
Oh my effing god … Gabriel Legend. This man. He’s like no other hero.I know that I probably sound like a broken record when it comes to Meghan’s heroes, but I love Legend with all my heart. This man is complex, wrapped in mystery, broken, but so strong and manly. On the one hand he’s dangerous, on the other he’ll do anything for the safety of his loved ones. He’s raw and sexy and I want to climb him like a tree. I feel tingles in my whole body when I think about him!
Scarlett may seem like a shallow socialite at first glance, but don’t be fooled! This girl is strong, stubborn, confident and determined. And she goes after what she wants. I’m positively surprised that she was the main pusher in the relantionship with Legend. But that only strengthened my respect for her as a heroine. You go, girl!
Their meet cute wasn’t cute at all, but it only added the thrill to the story. Two people from two different worlds, but with the chemistry so sizzling that it can burn. The anticipation and suspense kept me at the edge of the seat and I was alternately biting my lip and my thumb. Only Meghan can drive me to the point of madness, for which I’ll thank her.
Hot, sexy and heart-gripping- The Fall of Legend is completely captivating! It’s pure Meghan March at her best. This story is surprising, because it’s different from what the author got us used to, but at the same time it still contains typical for March’s books thrill and suspense. I will not calm down until I know the sequel! I crave more of Gabriel and Scarlett!
What can I say, another amazing start to a new series by Meghan. Two totally different people, Scarlett and Legend find themselves pulled toward each other. They make no sense in paper, but our them together and they are perfect for one another. The ending leaves you with a major WTF moment and barely hanging on for the next one. I can’t wait!!!!
I really liked how the story started. We learn about Scarlett, but Legend still seems like a mystery. I hope we will learn more about him in future books. Learn more about his back story and life.
I really liked Scarlett’s friends, they were hilarious and made the book!
Can’t wait to see how it continues!

~REVIEW~
The Quick and Dirty: A fun refresh of the bad boy (ex cage fighter) and good girl (NYC socialite and business owner) trope.
Gabriel Legend went legit when he took his winnings from his underground fighting to open up a club. When the grand opening tanks due to a shooting, his little brother forces his hand into enlisting NYC socialite and business owner Scarlett Priest’s help. Sparks fly when they meet even though they come from different sides of the tracks. As they get to know one another, they realize that beneath the mask (<— MM fans, see what I did there? ) they both wear, they have more in common than they think. Scarlett may have started off working to save Gabriel’s club but they may end up saving each other instead. This is usually where I gush over Meghan’s work and then my quick and dirty review gets really long. I’m going to try to bullet point it this time. Pace: Slower burn than some other MM books but flows organically and leaves you both hot at the collar and devastated at the end. Epic cliffie as usual! Character development: Excellent - she makes you inherently understand the inner workings of the characters without “explaining” it to you. Even the ancillary characters are well flushed out. Side note: Flynn racing for pinks had me squealing! I so hope she gets her own story! Chemistry: Again slow burn but seriously hot and tangible chemistry. It’s relatable - it’s instant but they work through it so it’s believable and understandable. Bottom line: If you read contemporary romance, this is a very easy one clicker. You won’t regret it (unless you hate cliff hangers, in which case wait until January and binge read the entire trilogy at once).
I am totally in love with Meghan’s new Couple! She has seriously started this trilogy with a complete bang and I am totally addicted already. I can already tell this series is going to be amazing and my favourite to date.
Gabriel Legend and Scarlett Priest are a seriously hot couple. Their chemistry is off the charts hot!! Despite being totally different, together they connect and are perfect. They just need to smash down the walls Legend is putting up all around him.
With this start to the series I am now completely hooked. Meghan has done a phenomenal job of laying down the groundwork with this one, tempting us with the promises of secrets and intrigue especially concerning the swoon-worthy and mysterious Legend.
I cannot wait to see what is going to happen next.
Meghan March has done it again! The Fall of Legend has started this new trilogy with a bang! Right from the beginning this story has an edge of intrigue that you know is going to build throughout and I can wait to see how all players fit together and where this story is going to go!
Gabriel Legend is one hot mysterious man and he can’t get the independent, sexy Scarlett out of his mind. There is something about her that has him doing things he probably shouldn’t be doing and thinking thoughts that he has never considered before!
Scarlett thought her life was just ticking along until she meets Legend. It may have started with an unexpected meeting but it has turned her world upside down.
These two are combustible together! I just hope everything they want doesn’t blow up in their faces! You will have to wait and see just like me for the continuation of their story!
I was excited to dive into the latest book from Meghan March! I don’t know how she keeps topping herself, but Meghan KILLED it! I was completely transfixed by this book! Gabriel Legend and Scarlett Priest … what a dynamic duo! They both can be stubborn but they’re both fierce in their own way. This book was filled withsexual tension, danger, mystery and I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT! I couldn’t read it fast enough. I loved how Meghan’s world quickly sucked me in and didn’t let me go. I loved the push/pull between Legend and Scarlett. This book opened in a VERRRY unique way and didn’t disappoint. I’m looking forward to the next installment in this trilogy!
Can’t get enough already! I need MOREEEE. I’d say this is a slow burn yet engrossing story. More questions kept popping up in my mind and I love Scarlett so much! Ready for book 2!!
The core message of this trilogy is pretty much established from the very beginning. No matter where or how you’ve grown up, no matter whether your successful in your career; Love doesn’t care. Love knows no bounds.
From the outside Scarlett has it all, her business is booming, she has a steady boyfriend and she talks to her father. everyone wants to be her. But that’s not the case. While true that her business is booming and is doing great she’s been going through the motions with her boyfriend only so she’d have the father she’s always wanted.
That’s all blown to hell when she meets Legend. Ever since her first encounter with him she can’t get him out of her head and not because he inadvertently kidnapped her and then essentially blackmailed her to help him. No it’s the way he looks and the way he carries himself. All the research she’s done only intrigues and increases her desire more Until she’s come to the conclusion that she has to have this mysteriously sexy man.
The difference between this book and a lot of other Meghan march books is the fact that we see the hero down on his luck. He’s not at the level of success a lot of other Meghan Marches heroes are at. He’s down on his luck struggling to keep his first legitimate business open and hes not trying to slide back into the underground world.
With help of Scarlett this is one of his last options on keeping his club open. Granted it’s through unconventional means that they meet and through which they strike a deal. Scarlett will use her celebrity status and go to his club drawing in the public in exchange for him not harming her. Little does she know Legend would never harm a Locke of hair on her gorgeous head.
Legend has to deal with the mess that his friend has put him in and try to make the best of it. But he also must try to keep his distance from the beautiful bombshell set to help turn his club around from financial ruin. That proves easier said then done when he sees some douchebag harassing her in his club.
All throughout this book you see legend struggling to keep Scarlett at a distance both physically and emotionally. Not just because she’s in a totally different social class but because who he’s run from in his past is bound to catch up with him, and when that person does, it’s best that he not show or have any weaknesses.
5 STARS
“You’ll always be what I want most. But I can’t have you.”
I NEED MORE NOW!!! Oh my word…this book was absolutely riveting! I loved every moment between Gabriel Legend and Scarlett Priest. Meghan March has written another book boyfriend for me. There is just something that draws me to men like Gabriel Legend, men that fight and strive for more than they were born with, men who will do anything to get to the top.
“I don’t know who Legend is to everyone else, but to me, he’s a beacon, drawing me in.”
The chemistry between Gabriel and Scarlett is scorching hot!!! I honestly can’t wait for the next instalment in the Legend Trilogy. The Fall of Legend by Meghan March is an EPIC read and will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ARISTOCRACY!!!
Anxiously awaiting Book 2 & 3. This book was paced slower than I am used to from Meghan March. It took me longer to become invested in the characters and the story. It was worth the wait.
From the minute she was rolled up at Gabriel Legend’s feet, Scarlett Priest was a goner, and so was I! The Fall of Legend is book one in the Legend trilogy. Talk about pulling you in from page one, that’s what Meghan March did. These two are explosive and drawn together like moths to a flame.
Scarlett doesn’t back down from a challenge and Legend’s demands are no exception. She’s going to breathe life back into more than just Legend’s club.
Legend has been punishing himself for his past and keeping everyone at a distance. That is until the force that is Scarlett Priest comes into his life.
I’m dying for book two!!
This one was a bit of a slow starter for me. It was Scarlett I wasn’t totally sold on, she seemed a little too shallow for me to start with but as we delved into her personality I started to see past the ‘poor me my life is so hard’ feeling that I got. I thought she might be a little too superficial for my liking but I actually came to really like her.
Gabriel I liked from the start, I had a good feeling about him and I’m glad I was right. He’s definitely a caretaker of those around him and his relationship with Bump was really special. He’s kept himself to such a strict set of rules it was good to see them unravel.
I enjoyed the slow burn of their developing relationship, it’s fun when two people are circling round each other, fighting the inevitable. The chemistry was sizzling and I’m looking forward to seeing these two burn.
I’m sure I’m in the minority but I liked the ending and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.
I was so excited when this landed on my kindle. I have been waiting for this trilogy and it was worth the wait. As I dug in to the book and the characters, I reveled at how Ms March can continuously create new and intriguing characters and stories that you immerse yourself in.
Legend believes he is not good enough. Scarlett is not the party girl people believe her to be. All she wants is her daddy to love her and be proud of her. So what will happen when these two meet?
There are so many side characters that have also intrigued me. I’m curious about their stories and want to know more. Will we get more? That is to be seen.
I thought the Forge trilogy was my favorite, but now I’m thinking that Legend may take the #1 spot. Lord, how I want me a piece of the big man.
While I thoroughly enjoyed this story and could not put it down, there were things I didn’t like. I wanted to throat punch Scarlett for about the first half of the book. I did eventually end up liking her. I do love Legend. He’s tough, but extremely vulnerable. I didn’t feel the chemistry between Scarlett and Legend until the end. I can’t wait to see how their story continues.
Legend is already in my heart!
Scarlett is a seemingly spoiled rich girl, however, she has worked hard to cultivate her image. Gabriel Legend is a legend in his own right, but trying to get rid of his from the wrong side image. These two live in completely different worlds, and yet, when they collide, magic happens. Legend is a little different than Ms. March’s normal uber alpha hero, he’s definitely still alpha, yet, he is also unsure of himself. Scarlett is fantastically bold and willing to be the one to take the lead, and I loved this aspect of the story. Overall, the chemistry is off the chain, you never want it to end, and you fall in love with the characters. I cannot wait to see what comes next in this new world!
Another epic book by Meghan March!!! Scarlett & Legend’s story will have you turning the pages as fast as you can read them. Meghan March has the ability to write in a manner that you can almost hear the sounds of the story or easily picture what Scarlett’s store looks like. Don’t hesitate to get this book.
