he realizes she's everything he needs

He holds the keys to a kingdom,

But he covets the key to her heart.

And he'll stop at nothing to claim his queen.

MY THOUGHTS

THE LEGACY by Dylan Allen once again demonstrates her talent in creating a couple whose love and attraction for each other is incredibly strong, fathoms deep and blistering hot. When these two were together and in relative harmony, they were a sheer and utter delight. However, when the disagreements came – and there were plenty of them, including some utterly childish ones – it felt like a soap opera.

Overall, there was just too much melodrama for my liking. First, there’s this Utopia-in-Houston the author is trying to build as part of this series that just did not add up. Then there’s a cast of characters whose personalities were so amped up they often came across as caricatures. This rang true for all characters; from the heroic to the villainous and everything in between. If I used a TV/movie analogy, it would be as if a few episodes of Dallas (sans shoulder pads) were merged with The Truman Show.

I also felt the book missed the mark in highlighting the prolonged issues any flooded community experiences. I don’t expect any author to provide a solution to such large and complex issues but you know what message I took away? Expect that help will come as long as you hook yourself to an uber-wealthy man who can throw money at issues the heroine deems fit.

I loved Hayes and Confidence when they were in accord. They were fabulous. Dynamite! It’s the rest of the book that just left me feeling disappointed and dissatisfied.
