5 ADDICTING STARS!! I am so addicted to this book….I can’t stop thinking about it. I am still high on the love story of Remi and Kal. Their story has all the feels with some suspense and lots of love. Dylan Allen’s words will be engraved on my heart forever. My words can’t even do this story justice, just read this book. You definitely need to 1-Click this book.
Perfect mix of angst, the innocent passionate first love, lust, lies, secrets, swoon worthy Prince charming on white horse kinda moment and the scary time of heartbreak and betrayel.
I say this one in Legacy, I’ll say it again in Legend. Dylan Allen done it! This author know how to make her reader laugh, blush, angry, swoon, cursing her endlessly, lusting and falling in love so hard, you just can’t breath without her characters and their story.
Reminton is… I’m swooning just by remember him… I have never meet a man so heart broken yet so beautiful. He is loyal, protective, loves big, determine, pride and know how good he is
And Kalilah… One thing I love about Dylan Allen is her ladies. Kalilah is strong, fierce, sassy, no non sense kinda girl, smart and sexy I would do her if I’m batting the other side
Their story are not easy. Young passionate pure first love turn to love of a life time. Through all the Wilde family secrets. Through age and hear break. Through long roads of finding their self. And then learn they have come to full circle.
Their story is legend cause they are the one who write them self and not letting anyone else decide for them.
Remi and Kal have opposite lives. They first meet when they are in middle school, hiding from a party hosted by Remi’s family. They reconnect later as high school seniors and fall deeply in love. Lies and misrepresentations tear them apart, however, and take them away from each other for many years.
Remington’s world is blown up when he gets some shocking information, and reporter Kal is sent to find the story. What they find, though, is bigger than any story.
I actually really liked this one. It was higher on drama than I prefer, and Remi’s mother made the book feel like Dallas or Dynasty or one of those 80s nighttime over-the-top soaps. But it held my interest, and when I thought the book would be predictable, the story didn’t go where I was expecting.
I liked Kal’s character. Her imagination and drive were wonderful. Remi was absolutely devoted to her, even after years of not being with her. I do wish, however, that there was more story about the aftermath of the big reveal, and exploring Remi’s new family relationships more.
This was one of the most breathtakingly raw stories of love I’ve ever read! This book delivers such a powerful punch, I know it will stick with me for a long time. It weaves a tale of deep rooted friendship and first love, and tells the tale of how the love of a lifetime, deserves a million chances.
Remi and Kal first meet in their blossoming youth and form a friendship so unique. As a reader, I found myself pinned to the pages, unable to tear myself away from reading about their friends-to-lovers tale. I had butterflies right along with Kal, and felt the desire that built between these two. Their angsty and lust filled summer together truly made me believe in soulmates.
What happens on the pages afterward had my heart in my throat. I tore through the pages, needing to know what happened next. To experience such redemptive love was magical.
And to be honest, it was hot AF. I found myself biting my lip and clenching my thighs at points.
Remi in his youth was cunning and confident. But as a man? He was legendary. A take-charge type of man, both inside and outside of the bedroom. Kal is the type of female lead that I love. She’s never had anything handed to her, and handles delicate situations with such grace. Her heart of gold spills from the pages and helps mold Remi into the man he needs to be.
The Legend is a love story that stands the test of time.
Wow! Remi and Kal’s story was absolutely beautiful!! Such an incredible story from start to finish. They were from different walks of life, raised in completely different worlds, yet they truly were destined to be together from the moment they met. Their love story wasn’t an easy one, as there was always something getting in their way. But, when one person’s heart is truly connected to another, they will always find their way to that person. Cannot wait for what comes next in the world of Rivers Wilde!
This was exactly the story I was looking forward to reading about Remington Wilde!!! Kal was just the girl to rein him in. I knew it was going to be a “girl from the wrong side of the tracks” kind of story. But all the other stuff. Ongoing family drama. This book is a masterpiece! Dylan told their story with such passion and completely left me wanting more!
This Rivers Wilde series is proving to be as rich and fascinating at the 2 families that it’s been named after! 5 all the way!
Oh this book!!!! It’s stunning and amazing and I can’t stop thinking about it!! Days later and I still have all of the feels!! Dylan Allen has this way of taking a story and spinning and twisting it with angst, intrigue and romance. She did this so perfectly with Remi and Kal. Remi is the Wilde heir. Raised to be a legend, like his father. Kal is from the other side of the tracks living with the mistakes her mom has made. They were perfect for each other. Unfortunately his family didn’t think so. So many lies and so much manipulation but oh what a HEA!! I finished this book and could say only wow, just wow.
Second chances romances are hard for me to read, and this one was no exception. My heart broke once, twice and many times more.
The feelings I got while reading were incredible and I couldn’t stop reading.
Remi and Kal are from two different worlds but there is only one thing that they have in common: bringing out the best from eah other. They have a last summer full of incredible memories until everything could crash and their lives would change.
“” It has been amazing. I don’t know what happens next, but I’m thinking maybe, this story of us has a happy ending..”
“If it’s not happy, it’s not the end.””
I loved Remi and Kal together, how Remi made Kal feel special and how he fought from the beginning for what he wanted, even when things were not as he expected.
Just thinking again about this story while writing this review makes my heart beat so fast and makes me want to read it again.
Only true love can survive what Remi and Kal are going through and only if they are willing to let the bad things from the past go, they can build a life together.
P. S: I made the mistake to read it without reading The Legacy and it contains big spoilers, so, you will have to consider reading The Legacy first.
“The Legend is a love story. But it’s also a cautionary tale. It tells you to love deeply, believe in happily ever after, but don’t try to live anyone’s life but your own.
That will be your undoing.
All legends are lies.
Make your own truth.”
Couldn’t have said it better myself!!
It’s an inspirational story. Drives home the point again and again that you don’t have to accept the situation handed to you by life and circumstances. Do everything to change your destiny. Drive hard, chart your own course and make a difference in this world.
Love yourself enough to accept love and give back the love tenfold.
So many youthful mistakes that throw wrenches in the budding innocent love of Remington Wilde and Kalilah. They hide from their mothers in an alcove behind the curtain and therein starts the fateful connection that will drive them Wild over the years. A climb on the trellis, an electrifying kiss and hushed breathless sentiments paint their love rosy
A beautiful summer together strengthens that tie and they’re in love.
I know the magic of happy endings only exist in books and sometimes in my mind. So, when it’s over, I’ll remember this summer as the one that brought me close enough to touch mine.
But alas! The matriarchs- “Snakehead” Wilde and “Fly Queen” Morgan are vixens with sharp talons which they use to tear apart their love nest
Years pass and the couple meets off and on…..their paths colliding & bouncing away.
The mystery, intrigue, and secrecy that lies in their pasts comes and stands right in front of their faces again and again.
We’re not getting our happy ending.
I fucked-up.
She’s moved on.
Somewhere between those two facts is our full story.
Dylan creates tenacious and spirited heroines. They are daughters of Earth, holding on to familial values even at the cost of personal happiness, protective of their young’uns. In fact even the vixens are ultimatley driven to devise nefarious plans to protect their children. Sounds twisted but the idea behind their evil is still love for their offspring. A mother would go to any length to shield her kids,This sentiment particularly resonates with me.
There’s no stopping this train. We’ll all leave here different people than we were when we arrived.
Her writing style is poignant and stirring. The disquiet and turmoil fills the story yet she manages to create pockets of serenity for the couple for their love to bloom. This invokes in readers sympathy and protectiveness for these characters and THAT is the strength of Dylan. I was immediately attached to Will & Carlton. Their love became precious to me.
That’s Dylan’s forte. She not only gives us a simple story, she gives life lessons. And all this while there’s teary eyed smile on my face.
And what can I say about Remi- *sigh*. A very sensible, sorted alpha. He’s very clear headed, decisive and staunch loyalist. His love is unshakeable and undeniable. HE’S already THERE, just waiting for Kal to catch up and I’m like swoooooooooooooooonthump! (pushes Kal aside and jump his bones myself )!!
I Loved him soooooooo much. Where can you get a handsome, sexy AF alpha who not only loves you wholeheartedly, he supports and encourages your career & life choices even while it rips him to shreds? ….well in THIS book!
“Giddyup, stud. Take me home.”
Powerful writing with soft personal feels and I was occupied and engaged in this story from first page to the last. I HIGHLY recommend the story, you MUST READ and go reside in RIVERS WILDE even if it’s all imaginary [it’s NOT!]
Cannot wait for Jezebel now!!!
5 stars for Remi-Person
Oh. My. Gosh.
Ever since the announcement for this book I’ve been so excited to read it! After finishing The Legacy I just KNEW reading this HAD to happen and I’ve been waiting patiently (or not so patiently whatever) to read this beauty and gah, the wait was sure worth it. The Legend is book TWO in The Rivers Wilde series but CAN be read as a standalone.
Remi and Kal’s relationship is like a whirlwind. It’s complicated, it’s beautiful and at times heartbreaking. It’s a story of missed opportunities at love and heart ache but also one of happiness.
Dylan Allen not only cracks out an incredible book filled with amazing chapters and a storyline you’ll enjoy but she has you falling so hard for them and experiencing an insane amount of feels and loving every second of it. Dylan put her all into the book and shines brightly throughout it.
I can’t wait for The Jezebel, Dylan’s work is a thing of beauty and I can only imagine what she’s going to do for this woman’s story.
The Legend is a captivating read that you won’t be able to put it down until the very end. It’s devastating and beautiful and filled with twists and turns you won’t see coming. Most definitely one of the top reads of 2019!
Dylan Allen is truly an unstoppable and creative genius. The Legend is a flawlessly written masterpiece. The storyline flows effortlessly and everything about this book is still lingering in my mind in such a wonderful way. I was sucked into Remi and Kal’s beautiful love story and I devoured it within hours. Remi invaded my mind, heart and soul. I was intrigued by him in The Legacy and I was beyond thrilled as he turned out to be so much more in this book. Kal’s character was cleverly written, she’s admirable and exudes strength and courage. It was impossible not to feel an immediate connection with these two and their chemistry was off the charts.
The Legend’s plot is emotionally charged, filled with angst and is climatic in more ways than one. I endured a whirlwind of emotions while reading this book. Remi and Kal complimented each other well as their romance was intense, passionate and intoxicating. They made my heart flutter with their flirty behavior and romantic gestures. And the magic they created between the sheets was wild and scorching!!
Another compliment to this book is the shocking plot twists!! It took a few minutes for me to pick my jaw off the ground after reading them. I definitely couldn’t have predicted those secret revelations. This book is without a doubt one of my top favorite books that I’ve read so far this year.
Stunning read!
When you get an intelligent, thought provoking and insightful story, brimming with fun and extremely hot romance the result is an outstanding story. Flawless writing, and incredibly well developed characters, it was a pure joy to read so that my only disappointment was it ended!
The Legend is the next installment in the Rivers Wilde Series, and it begins where The Legend ends.
Remington and Kaliyah’s story was a heart wrenching emotional journey about the power of love and family.
Unique, intense and emotional story as Remington and Kaliyah’s story unfolds and develops. Lots of unexpected jaw dropping twists as their journey is dissected and put to the test.
Family secrets
Family lies
Family skeletons
Love
Romance
Perseverance
This book will knock your socks off and rock your soul!!
Remi and Kal’s story was one of heartbreak, bad timing and a rude but beautiful awakening of triumph. These two were Everything from the very start. Their love sparked as young teenagers and despite the obstacles that were purposely thrown their way it never gave out. The twist and unexpected turns were shocking and oh so good. My favorite Dylan Allen book yet. Everyone needs a Remington in their life. Can’t wait for Regan’s story.
