Review:
The second generation of the Legends continues
with a heartwarming story of two people that have given up on any chance of a
happy ending for themselves finding one another and the love that will heal
them. I sadly came to the Legend family a little bit late when they had already
had their individual love stories (but I’m going back to read them now that I am
hooked), but this second generation is really amazing to get into regardless, so
I can promise if you are coming into this series never having read the previous
series you’ll love them anyway. Sam
Legend II has become a bit of a recluse, far from his family, living the life
of a bladesmith and has very little need for human interaction. When he finds his home invaded by the sweet
and sexy Cheyenne Ronan, a woman that he is sure is a little bit insane, he
knows that his life has just changed irrevocably despite his every effort to
get her out of his mind. Cheyenne has
returned to her family home after a terrifying experience teaching apache
children on a reservation and then working to help them reunite with their
families. She never meant to put Sam’s
life in danger, but the sexy bladesmith lights her fire and when her life is in
danger steps right up to protect her.
Sam and Cheyenne find themselves drawn to one another as danger mounts
and there is no denying the attraction or the fact that if they can’t defeat
the men after them, their second chance for a happy ending will never happen. I
loved the fiery Cheyenne and seeing her standing up and fighting for not only
herself but others made her a perfect heroine and the best match for Sam, as a
damsel in distress was definitely not the type of woman for him anymore. She
was intelligent, witty, caring, compassionate, and unknowingly sensual, making Sam
nuts as she drove him to craziness and deep love. I also enjoyed watching her fight hard to
heal Sam once she learned about his past and working to give him a new reason
to live. Sam has obviously had his heart broken severely, but he is still a strong,
caring, and passionate man and when he gets to know Cheyenne it becomes obvious
that despite his past he isn’t really as dead inside as he always thought. His strength
lies in his character and his heart, though certainly is also an ideal specimen
of masculine beauty, and I loved seeing him come back to life and find
forgiveness for himself and his past.
The heat between these two was apparent from the very beginning as they
argued and battled, but once they embraced one another as friends and lovers
that fire turned to another direction and burned even hotter. I am loving this series and cannot wait for
book three to find out which Legend comes next and finds their heart stolen.
Broday has a way of bringing her characters to life and giving readers a
glimpse of the Wild West that most never imagined existed—the heart and love of
family that truly built the west.
