The Legend (Sons of Texas #3)
by Donna Grant
Blurb:
A
LONE STAR LOVER
Callie
Reed doesn’t need a man to protect her. An expert sharpshooter and renegade
hacker, this Texas-born spitfire’s got the skills and the courage to stand up
to any danger―no matter how deadly. But when she becomes the target of a
shadowy organization known as the Saints, Callie is forced to team up with the
one man she can’t outshoot: the gorgeous, and infuriating, Lone Star legend
named Wyatt Loughman…
A
Delta Force Colonel with a rock-hard body and stone-cold heart, Wyatt has been
teasing and tormenting Callie since they were playmates on his family’s ranch.
Of course, he’s wildly attracted to the fiery, strong-willed Callie. But he’s
always hidden his feelings behind a wall of Texas tough and military cool, even
as he’s burning up with desire. Can Wyatt save Callie’s life―without putting
her love in the line of fire?

Review:
The final brother has found a way to open his
heart to the woman that has always had a place in his life, even as he tried to
push her away, and their father has returned to the fold, but I have to wonder—is
the series truly over? This series was a surprising contemporary change by one
of my very favorite paranormal authors, and while I was skeptical from the
beginning, as the series progressed I found myself enjoying the stories more and
more. Wyatt and Callie have been forced
to team up together in this battle for their family and friends including but
not limited to Wyatt’s father who has been like a father to Callie for many
years. Wyatt once allowed Callie to breach
his defenses, but felt he had to push her away to keep her safe and in the
process broke more than simply her heart.
Now he is faced with the truth that he wants Callie back and he isn’t sure
he can get her back. Working together on
their mission they get closer and closer until the passion between them finally
explodes leaving them both a bit confused and unsure if they can find a way to
save themselves, much less find a way to come back together in a meaningful
way. I liked seeing Callie stand up to
Wyatt and make him understand that he has a lot to atone for in order to win
her back. She makes him work for it
which I totally loved; at the same time she has to come to terms with some of
the mistakes she has made both in regards to Wyatt and her own choices through
her life. Wyatt knows he was an asshole
in his past, but now that he is faced with the results of his choices, the loss
of Callie as even a friend, he begins to understand what he truly threw away. I enjoyed seeing Wyatt grow and change his
way of living as he begins to see what changes he needs to make in his life,
but I never formed a connection with him as my hero like I have in previous
novels by Ms. Grant. The connection
between Wyatt and Callie is explosive from the beginning, which makes perfect
sense once we get to learn the truth of their shared past, but when they come
together again in the present the passion between them is just as hot. Overall the plot of this story was VERY complex
and contained so many twists through the trilogy of books that I honestly wasn’t
sure from chapter to chapter who would be an enemy to the brothers and who was
an ally, but in the end I felt like there were still a few more plot lines that
were not wrapped up, leaving me hoping for another story in the series in the
future. Ms. Grant’s paranormal novels
will always be my favorite, but I can see how her branching into contemporary
novels could lead to a whole new chance for Donna to spread her wings. Keep it up Donna and I can promise you that I
will keep reading.
