“THE LEGEND is a slow-kindling fire that, before you know it, has consumed you. Lies, twists, turns, passion, devotion, and a love that, though tried, never breaks. Dylan Allen masterfully weaves them all into this unputdownable, compelling tapestry of a tale.” -- Kennedy Ryan, Amazon bestselling author
The Legend, an all-new steamy, second-chance romance from Dylan Allen, is available now!
The love of a lifetime deserves a million chances.
Remington Wilde had heartbreak written all over him.
He was the most beautiful boy I’d ever seen.
When I looked into his midnight eyes,
I saw a happy ending I’d never dared to dream of.
I was seventeen the first time he asked for my heart,
I didn’t hesitate to hand it over.
In exchange, he gave me the best summer of my life.
He was my first everything.
Falling in love felt written in the stars...
But our legend, it turns out, was all a lie.
And when our story ended, all I had was a broken heart.
Now, he wants a second chance.
But this time, I’ve got more to lose than just my heart.
When the lies that pulled us apart, threaten again, it will take more than sweet words from his sinful mouth to convince me.
He says the love of a lifetime deserves a million chances,
But am I strong enough to fall again?

Dylan Allen has done it again. I am blown away by another one of her books! I have to admit, I was a little nervous to read this book because I loved the first so much. I was worried it wouldn’t live up to my expectations. I shouldn’t have been concerned. I think I loved The Legend even more than I loved The Legacy.
Remington Wilde is from one of the wealthiest families in Texas. Kalilah Greer, not so much. The first time they meet, they are just children. Then, they meet again as teenagers. Both are smitten, Remi especially. But it’s forbidden for them to be together. Remi’s mother would never approve. Things sort of fall apart for these two, but things always seem to come back together. Some way, some how.
As far as Remi and Kal get from each other through their story, they are never too far apart in their hearts. They are victim to horrible timing, but they never lose the love they have for one another.
“Do you ever wonder what if?” he whispers and my heart starts to crack. “Every day,” I admit, on a whisper.
I love second chance romances, but I’m a little picky on how they’re done. This was done perfectly. And that completely has to do with Remington and how he handled Kal’s situation. I truly believe these two are soulmates and I don't say that lightly.
Remington Wilde is a sweet soul, has a filthy mouth, and is one of the most romantic heroes ever. That combination was lethal. He was my favorite thing about this book. Kal was a heroine with a lot of strength, determination, and pride. Sometimes her pride got the best of her. Knowing her childhood and past, I understood why she was the way she was. These two were the best kind of pairing. Their chemistry was insane. Steam was rolling off the pages whenever they were together and the sexy times were quality, not quantity, which I always appreciate.
“Do you still burn for me the way I burn for you, baby?”
This series has that completely addicting quality. They’re the kind of books you can’t stop reading. Sometimes it’s like a train wreck, you just can’t look away, and other times you are so enchanted by the story telling and romance there is no way you can put it down. I love these books so much. Allen is an amazingly talented author and I can’t wait to read any and everything else she writes. I’m especially looking forward to the next book in this series, which will feature Remi’s sister!!
Excerpt:
I can see the heat in her eyes and right away I know.
“You watched me?” I ask.
Her dark eyes widen, but she doesn't look away.
“Yes.” She swallows hard.
“Did you like it?” I ask her.
“Remi,” she admonishes sharply, but I don’t miss the way she shifts her stance. She liked it.
“I want to hear you say it.” I ask again.
She nods and sucks her fat lower lip into her mouth.
I want to suck it, too.
“You know you could have gotten in and watched up close. You could have helped if you wanted.”
I circle her wrists and hold her hands in front of my face.
“They’re a little small, they wouldn’t fit all the way ’round.”
She draws in a big gulp of air and takes a step closer to me.
“Really?” she whispers her eyes flit down to my pants.
“I would have covered your hands with mine. We could have done it together.”
I let go of her wrists and slide my hands up so that we’re palm to palm.
Skin to skin.
It’s not nearly enough.
I’m this close to crossing a line I shouldn’t. But, when it comes to Kal, I can’t seem to help myself.
“Remi…we shouldn’t.” Her voice is husky and her fingers flex a little against mine.
“Yeah, probably not,” I agree, but I see the reflection of my own disappointment flash in her eyes and it emboldens me.
I know I should stand down. Even if it feels like it, we aren’t a good idea.
But she’s so tempting. And when it comes to her, I can’t seem to get a grip on my control.
I link our fingers and bring her hand to my lips for a kiss. She inhales sharply and looks up at me through the inky fringe of her lashes.
Her gaze lingers longingly on my mouth and I smile.
“Oh, Kal. We have a dilemma.” I drawl.
“Really? Then why do you sound amused? A dilemma isn’t generally a good thing.” The corners of her mouth turn up in a small smile.
“It’s a very good thing…because even though you don’t want to be, and I absolutely shouldn’t be, we’re interested in each other.”
“Well, that’s the perfect recipe for an unhappy ending, if I ever heard one.”
