Recommendation
Legend brought us a new couple on opposing sides of the fight ring but their young love was wonderfully innocent and hot at the same time. Both Maverick and Reese felt this pull towards each other, weren’t afraid to admit to themselves how much it scared them to need the other, and then pushed through that fear to find they couldn’t be without each other. There was no major suspense like in the previous Remy-centered books, this focused on Maverick and Reese’s blossoming love and also his introduction into Remy’s family. It was great seeing Remy, Brooke, Pete and Riley and his cranky Coach but it’s the end of an era, no more Remy after this story. We’ll have to dream up everyone’s true epilogue ourselves and I have a good idea it’s “real.”
Publisher synopsis
Maverick “the Avenger” Cage wants to rise to the top and become a legend in the ring. Though he keeps his identity well guarded, he's known on the fighting circuit as the new kid with a chip on his shoulder and a tattoo on his back that marks him as trouble. He's got a personal score to settle with the Underground's one and only Remington "Riptide" Tate.
As Mav trains, he meets a young girl—the only other new person in the town–and sparks fly. When things get heated between them, he finds out she's none other than Reese Dumas, the cousin of Remington Tate’s wife. A girl who's supposed to root against him and a girl he's supposed to stay away from.
But Maverick fights for the woman in his heart, and the monsters in his blood. The world’s eyes are on them and the victor will go down in history as the ultimate fighting champion; the ultimate LEGEND.
* LEGEND is the 6th and final installment of the REAL series, but it can also be read as standalone or after the three Remington and Brooke books (Real/Mine/Remy.)
