The Legend: A Sons of Texas Novel

The Legend is the 3rd book in the Sons of Texas series from Donna Grant. I had somehow missed the first 2 books in the series, but felt like the author did a great job catching the reader up on the history of the Loughman family and the other characters in the series. I enjoyed The Legend. I really loved that Callie and Wyatt had something between them from their past that Wyatt's family didn't ever know for sure happened. The tension and banter between Callie and Wyatt with everything going on honestly made me laugh many times, which was welcome as this book had so many stressful situations. I absolutely loved that both Callie and Wyatt are so protective of the other. I also loved discovering that Wyatt was the reason Callie's family had stayed away for so long. I do feel like since I picked up The Legend, and it is the third book in the series I missed out on some key elements to the other members of the Loughman family and other characters from the series. I was able to catch on pretty quickly to the various bad guy characters, but it took me a minute each time a new person was mentioned. I loved the romantic suspense elements to the story and felt like Ms. Grant did a great job keeping her readers wanting more. So much so, that I plan to go back and read the first 2 books in the series to better understand all the choices made to date. I adored Callie and Wyatt as a couple and even with all the turmoil around them. They had super hot chemistry and I was honestly surprised they waited so long to act upon that chemistry. They also truly loved each other and it showed in all the little and big things they did for one another. I enjoyed watching them both finally admit to their feelings and move towards a future together. I'll say it now. I felt like this book had a bit of a cliffhanger ending. I honestly thought this book would wrap up the series, so imagine my surprise when everything wasn't tied up with a bow at the end. Yes I understood as the book ended we need at least one more story to get the whole Loughman family story, but I was expecting it to wrap up with The Legend, so it put me off a little at the end. That being said, I really enjoyed Ms. Grant's voice and look forward to reading more books from her in the future. Rating: 3.5 Stars (B) Review copy provided by publisher

This is the third book in the series and boy is it a good one. It grabbed me right from the beginning and had me on the edge of my seat the whole way through. It's non stop action, excitement, and suspense. The bad guys are getting closer and closer while they're getting smarter. Wyatt and Callie are in their sights and they're coming at them everything they have. Wyatt and Callie being stuck together once again brings long ago feelings flaring back to life. Wyatt has some big life decisions to make, but first priority is to survive.

Loved this book! Very fast paced romantic suspense with a kick ass heroine who is sexy, smart, and competent. Callie is a talented computer hacker that uses her skills against the elusive Saints. She's also very well trained in hand to hand combat and weapons. Callie's forced to partner with Wyatt, a Delta Force operator/commander and the man who broke her heart when they were young. They're fighting a very powerful shadow organization that spans several continents (The Saints).. As they're fighting for their lives, they're also fighting their attraction to each other. What follows is a thriller that kept me turning pages just as quickly as possible. I particularly enjoyed a reading about a female character that was every bit as strong as the male. Fans of the genre will love this book. The author is on my must read authors' list and I'm already looking forward to her next book.
