Review<\/b><\/h4>\n

5 stars<\/b><\/p>\n

This is the first book (a novella) in the Legacy<\/i> series, a gorgeously emotional second-chance romance that brought the feels, and I loved it!<\/p>\n

Sebastian (Bash) and Emerson grew up together in the small town of Legacy, Colorado. Their lives were touched by tragedy when the local team of hotshot firefighters were killed while defending the town from an inferno \u2013 their fathers included \u2013 but they found deep, true, all-consuming love\u2026 until Bash left town without notice, never looking back.<\/p>\n

Six years later, and Bash is back in town to rebuild his father\u2019s crew, but he faces opposition from the council, who do not want to open the town up for devastation again. And for the first time since he left, he has to face Emerson.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d only ever left her physically. Even six years couldn\u2019t rip her out of my soul, and she was here, more incredible than ever and only a touch away.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The intensity between Bash and Emerson is palpable from the moment they are reunited. She\u2019s still understandably hurt and angry, but there\u2019s no denying the connection between them, and Bash makes it clear to her that the feelings he had for her are just as strong as ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou and I are inevitable, and you know it. We always have been. Gasoline and fire, remember.\u201d
\n\u2026 \u201cI\u2019m not denying that. But we both know that I\u2019m the one who ends up a giant pile of ashes, so forgive me if I\u2019m not quite ready to let you burn me again.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s a quick read, and there\u2019s not a lot of time for build-up, but all of the emotion that I love about second-chance romance is there. It\u2019s intense and passionate, and I could feel it all, and loved watching them give into everything that is still between them. And oh holy God, is it sexy!<\/p>\n

\u201cThis pull between us? That fire that catches and burns us from the first touch? That\u2019s not even a tenth of how deeply, dangerously, completely I love you.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The love story is so beautiful, and I was fully invested in Bash and Emerson as a couple. But they have hurdles to cross \u2013 not only what happened between them in the past, but also what they want for the future. In the meantime, he\u2019s got to get the team together, and there\u2019s no guarantee he can even do that. But Bash, Emerson and their friends are determined to carry on the legacy of their fathers, and watching them come together and fight for it is awesome to see.<\/p>\n

This book is a wonderful setup for the ongoing story off the series. I loved the love story so much, and enjoyed getting to know loved Bash, Emerson and their friends, and can\u2019t wait for more stories in the series.<\/p>\n

Such a great read, I loved it! 5 stars.<\/p>\n
