I finished ‘The Fall Of Legend’ and guys, THIS BOOK WAS FREAKING AMAZING!
I loved every single thing about it. The heroine was a total queen and the hero was… EPIC!!! Scarlett and Legend were FIRE, these two will have you smiling so much your face will hurt. I just loved how never once in this book did the characters pretend to be someone they weren’t, they were always who they were and never hid from that.
I loved how strong both of these characters were, this wasn’t a story about change, this was a story about strength and live. Legend was more than epic, he was someone who everyone can relate with. He is trying to be better, do better, and grow. I loved how true he was and never tried to be something or someone to fit a role they wanted him to fit.
Meghan NEVER EVER DISAPPOINTS!!! This book will have you on the edge of your seat, A MUST READ. Is it December yet???
PUT EVERYTHING DOWN AND BUY THIS BOOK. I couldn’t put it down.
At the beginning of this book, you will think there has to be a white knight coming in to save Scarlett from her kidnappers. Then you are taken into the world of Gabriel Legend. He doesn’t think of himself as a knight in shining armor, his past is all consuming. Scarlett Priest lives a life of privilege, everything in her life is in its place, as she’s put it. Always striving for her father’s affection, Scarlett has found herself compromising her happiness. Will Gabriel be the knight that frees her from herself?
Addictive, page-turner, steamy and sometimes hilarious, this is Meghan March at her best. Two strong individuals who should throw out sparks when they meet, oh wait, they did throw sparks!!! Magnetic and compelling, there was no choice for them but to gravitate towards the other.
This was a wonderful book about the guy from the slums and the princess of Manhattan. Gabriel grew up in New Orleans, dirt poor and scavenging money in street fights. He moved to Manhattan, running away from a crime lord, and started his illegal fights again. He wanted to have money and be somebody. His ambition took him to take the biggest risk, amass all his savings, find investors and open a club in Manhattan. With promises to become the “in” place to hang, someone wanted to ruin his plans and started a shooting in his club. Death of a club by scandal, and he was on the brink of bankruptcy.
Enter Scarlett Priest, a socialite and influencer. Kidnapped “by mistake” by Gabe’s protégée Bump, he makes a deal with her: make his club successful again. He won the deal not because he was menacing but because he was that compelling and she keeps her promises.
“Raw, savage energy flows off his body in waves, and my teeth threaten to chatter at its intensity. Beautiful and brutal. That’s what I’d caption the shot I’m mentally taking right now of the last face I may ever see.”
Scarlett Priest is the epitome of a poor little rich girl. She lost her mother to cancer and her father was present in body but absent in mind. He didn’t know how to deal with a daughter, so he mostly ignored her and hurt her by his neglect. She had all that money could give her but she didn’t have her father’s love. What she did have was an ambitious boyfriend who her father did love. Sex with him was atrocious but she kept him for the access to her father.
Needless to say, when Gabriel Legend came into her life, the boyfriend was shown for the chump he was. Chadwick La Salle, also called by Scarlet’s friends Chad-dick, or Chadwick La Boring, or Chad the Douchebag, was a sinister presence in Scarlet’s life, once she started to turn away from him.
There were sinister forces in both of their lives, but we only get to meet up front Scarlet’s. There are secrets in Gabe’s past, and he seems to be on guard expecting his past to confront his future. He’s always aware that he’s no good for Scarlet and that being with him puts her in danger. So we get to enjoy a game of back and forth, resistance and surrender, as Gabriel tries to keep away but can’t withstand the attraction he feels for her.
“She’s not just out of my league. She’s the kind of woman I’ll never recover from. Everything I ever thought I knew before was bullshit. Scarlett Priest is it. The kind of woman I’d kill to keep—and would kill me to lose.”
There are secondary characters who add a lot of color and layers to this story. There’s Marcus Quinterro, known as Q, Gabe’s best friend and business partner. He’s Puertorrican (yay, like me!!! ). When Gabe and Bump arrived in New Jersey, to the Quinterros scrap yard, they were taken in, nourished and housed and protected, no questions asked. The Quinterros, a big crowd of parents, aunts and uncles, sisters and a slew of nieces and nephews, are family to Gabe and Bump. Marcus and his older sister Zoe work with Gabe at his club. There’s Scarlet’s friends, who are socialites, a little air-heads but with good feelings and supportive of their friend. And last but most important, there’s Roux, Gabriel’s pet, a huge Cane Corso dog that accompanies Gabriel everywhere. When Scarlet saw Roux for the first time, her first thought was: “A big brindle dog lies on the floor at his side, and holy Jesus. It looks like it could eat me. Thankfully, it doesn’t move.”
The book is a slow burn because of their back and forth, Scarlet’s insecurities and Gabe’s fear for her safety. As expected, it ends in a cliffhanger but it was not painful because it was expected. There’s a low thrum of sensuality from the sparks and chemistry between Scarlet and Gabriel. There’s also interactions between Q and Gabriel, since Q doesn’t approve of Scarlet. And then there’s childlike Bump, who wants everyone to be happy and tries, sometimes with disastrous results, to help making his family happy. It was fun, sexy and intriguing. Now I need the next one like yesterday!
oh my gosh, if you know me you know I am a HUGE Meghan March Fan! Well let me tell you MM has fucking out done herself! This book is everything, EVERYTHING! all the damn stars, screw that, beyond 5Stars. I fell head over heels for Gabe and Scarlett. Honestly I couldn’t put the book down and didn’t want it to end. I am dying for House of Scarlett. I #flovedit! and You will too! it’s that good!!
Fierce vibrant and elusive, March has written two characters who are the epitome of perfection.
The story of a man stuck in the shadows of the past and the woman who is the light of many will truly captivate readers. While reading I am positive that you too will feel as though you yourself are in this rich and unforgiving city right along with them.
Unpredictable from the get go, and with an ending that will make you want to scream, this addictive and fast paced story is one you won’t want to miss!
As Always, Happy Reading!

The threatening circumstances should have drawn a firm wedge between them but you can’t deny chemistry. Their magnetic pull goes against everything either of them wants but clearly needs. Will their chemistry be enough? Or will obstacles from their past threaten everything they want? Stay tuned…
I’m am hooked. The Fall of Legend is emotional, full of angst and suspense and I JUST CAN’T GET ENOUGH!
Gabriel Legend is a man shrouded in mystery whereas Scarlet Priest lives life in the limelight. Two people from two totally different worlds that have a connection the moment they meet (which was in very interesting way, to say the least). Scarlet is learning to live life with the help of Gabriel yet he can’t bring her into his for fear of the past coming back to haunt him. I love everything about the two of them, the push and pull, their sexy AF chemistry and a connection I cannot wait to dive deeper into within the next two books in the series! Bring it on!!
What an incredible start to what I know will be an amazing trilogy!! Legend is everything!! This book is full of angst!! I can’t wait for more Scarlett and Legend!! I couldn’t put this book down!
March doesn’t create just a story that only revolves around two people, she creates a whole world which captivates you, holding you hostage until the very last word. I love getting lost in her worlds, the people and all the action. It’s like the entire outside world disappears and I am living the events right alongside everyone.
Honestly at first Scarlett wasn’t one of my favorite heroines but the more invested I became in her story the more I really began to adore her. You could almost see her evolve as the pages turned, it was almost palpable. She became stronger, gained more self confidence, knew what she want and went after it.
And is there anything that makes your heart melt faster, knees weaker than a man who cherishes his dog as much as Legend? I loved how he took Roux everywhere with him and judged people by how they treated her. He is definitely my kind of man!
I think we can all see tiny aspects of ourselves in each of her characters, which helps even more to bring them to life.
This is probably one of Meghan March’s best books ever! Gabriel Legend is unlike any man she has ever written before. He is dark, gritty, gorgeous, and has a huge heart. There are many layers to this character and I don’t think that we have even scratched the surface. His chemistry with Scarlett was so multi-faceted. One of my favorite parts was when they were having fun, but I won’t spoil it! Scarlett is a pretty amazing character herself. She is like so many people out there. She is trying to live the perfect life on the outside but is trying to discover her true self on the inside. I cannot wait to see where this goes and I am dying for book two and three!! Especially considering how MM ended the first one…in true MM style….with a shock and a gut punch!
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I am such a huge fan of Meghan March, she never disappoints. Legend was perfection and one you need to read. You will definitely want to grab this book. I cannot wait for the next book in this triology.
Gabriel and Scarlet have a connection and come from different lifestyles. He has a lot on his shoulders and having a hard time moving on from his past. Scarlet she isn’t afraid to go after what she wants.
The Fall of Legend is a great start to a new trilogy. I don’t want to give anything away so all I’m going to say is read it!
This is a must read!!!
This book is everything (and so much more!) that we’ve come to expect from Meghan March. To start off a brand new trilogy in such a magnificent way is nothing short of breathtaking. Book 2 and 3 need to be released early because after that cliffhanger I need answers, and I need them now!!!
Scarlett and Gabriel couldn’t be any more different. Scarlet comes from a very well off family and she’s made quite the name for herself as the owner of her own business. She seems to think her life needs to fit inside a neat little box. Inside that box is her boyfriend Chadwick. Can I just say I hate Chadwick? However the nicknames everyone has for him are nothing short of fabulous! Gabriel has a past that is bound to come back and haunt him. In the meantime, he’s been making his own way in this world as a past fighter and now club owner. Their paths cross in a very very unconventional way. Life throws you for a loop sometime, but maybe that’s just what these two needed. How will their futures play out? Some is revealed in book 1 but book 2 and 3 are sure to be explosive with the answers coming our way!!
Fun, quick new read. I love when Meghan starts building a new world! The new city, characters, backgrounds… I’m so excited to see where this story goes and how hard Legend falls.
“Gabriel Legend doesn’t let anyone take something from him without a fight.”
“If this is what living feels like, what have I been doing every day before this?”
The much anticipated book, The Fall of Legend by Meghan March is finally here!! And let me tell you, this book was so worth the wait. I was swept off my feet and left breathless with anticipation.
The Fall of Legend had me hooked from the very first page. Gabe and Scarlett’s first encounter was anything but conventional. Scarlett should have ran the other way, but the pull from Gabe was impossible to ignore. The chemistry between them was instant and just oozed off of the pages. I loved their encounters and couldn’t wait to see what would happen next. Forget what you think you know about Scarlett and Gabe, I promise, there is more to the two of them than meets the eye….
The Fall of Legend was everything I hoped it would be and then some. There was amazing chemistry, smokin hot characters, and a thrilling plot. There were twists and moments that made me absolutely crazy. I was captivated and completely addicted. Once again, Meghan March stole my breath and left me on the edge of my seat, dying for more.
The Fall of Legend was thrilling, sexy and utterly captivating. The Legend Trilogy is off to one brilliant start and I can not wait to see where this series is going to take us next! All I can say is readers, we are in for one complicated and exciting ride. I for one can not wait to see what Meghan March has in store for us next…
The Fall of Legend is awesome. It’s sexy, has a slow burn vibe to it with a hint of danger. The hero and heroine don’t meet in the most conventional way but it has a profound effect on both of them. It’s the catalyst that kick starts change within them that works its way without. I enjoyed Scar and Gabe’s journey thus far and can’t wait to see what happens next.
