Review

4.5 stars!

This is the second novella in the Legacy series, a dramatic and heartfelt best-friends-to-lovers romance that is full of emotion, and I loved it!

This book takes please during the same timeframe as the first novella in the series, Point of Origin. And while you could read this as a standalone, I’d definitely recommend starting with the first book, which fully sets the scene for the series to come.

This is River’s story. He and his brother moved to Alaska from their small home town in Colorado to follow in their late father’s footsteps and become firefighters. It’s a job they’re both passionate about, and they have created good lives for themselves. And River’s life wouldn’t be complete without his best friend, Avery. They are as close as could be, and are secretly in love with each other, but neither of them have ever even tried to make a move.

These two are so freaking cute! They are fun and playful together, all up in each other’s lives, and it’s clear that they care for each other deeply. We (and pretty much everybody else in their lives) can immediately see that there’s so much more to them than just friendship. All it takes is one spark to change everything.

“You kissed me and I stopped being best-friend Avery and turned into…I don’t even know. Kissable Avery?”
He stalked forward until he stood just a breath away, close enough to touch, but not. “You have always been kissable Avery, I’ve just never been allowed to kiss you like I wanted. You’re also fuckable Avery.”

The shift from friends to more is effortless for them. And though it may come as a bit of a shock, it’s natural, and I love how they happily follow their hearts to explore everything they could be together.

And now the series tie-in – the first book of the series tells the story of a man looking to rebuild his late father’s team of hotshot firefighters after they were all killed defending their small Colorado town. River and his older brother are the children of the original Legacy crew, and they’ve been called home to resurrect and build on their legacy, and in his heart, River knows it’s where he needs to be. And he wants Avery to come with him.

“I want to make a life with you here. It’s not just about leaving my best friend behind, it’s about what we have between us – what we can be if we just give this a chance.”

Avery desperately wants a new life with the man she loves, but she has ties to Alaska and can’t leave. They’re torn between two impossible situations, and will have to dig deep to figure out how they can build the life together that they’re both so desperate to have.

This is another short read in the series, but again, it packs an emotional punch, and I was completely caught up in River and Avery’s story. I love them as characters, I love them even more together, and I loved watching them realise what they have and fight so hard to find their happy.

“I’m completely, madly, whole-heartedly in love with you.”

We get to see the characters that were all introduced in the first book, and I am so freaking excited for this series to continue! This is a great bunch, and I can’t wait to get to know them more.

I loved this one – 4.5 stars!
