“I love the way your pussy smells. I fucking miss the way it tastes. I’m dying to feel it gripping my cock.”
Christ almighty. This book was so damn sizzling, I needed a fan - not for my face. Hayes is deliciously dirty, alpha and all man. Some of the dirty, commanding things that came out of his mouth had me tingling all over. ALL. OVER. Confidence is a feisty, strong heroine who I adored. Together, sparks flew. This is NOT a slow burn romance, get ready to burn up from their chemistry!

5 ‘King & Queen’ Stars.
Characters & Chemistry
Confidence Ryan yes that truly is her name but she got off lightly IMO. Her brothers are called Fortune and Happiness. Let's just say that one wasn’t that fortunate or the other that happy.
Confidence made a mistake. A mistake that unfortunately cost her a lot. Too much. As her last FU to karma she goes to Italy as a plus one before she has to tuck her tail in and head back to Arkansas. Her life is about to change. At the beginning of their meeting I w ...more

Hayes and Confidence completely blew me away. They both know pain, growing up in horrible situations. Their lifestyles are complete opposites but that doesn’t stop either of them. It’s beautiful yet heartbreaking to read. This book is all about those damn feels.

The Legacy is the first book in a series revolving the city Rivers Wilde.
Hayes Rivers and Confidence are the two protagonists and together they share wonderful chemistry. Off the charts hot as hell chemistry. I enjoyed how independent she is and her reason for being so. She doesn’t want anything handed to her. She wants it because she’s the right woman for the job and she’s capable. Hayes is the heir to Rivers Kingdom and is back in Houston to claim what is rightfully his.

First of all this was Dylan’s sexiest book yet. I mean fire burning hot. Do you like dirty mouth book boyfriends with the body of an Olympian God, power and money to rule the world and a heart of gold??!! If your answer is yes, Hayes Rivers is definitely your man.

Is it possible Dylan Allen has raised the bar even higher with The Legacy? Why, yes. She most certainly has.
With each release, she manages to impress me. Her skill and craftsmanship shines from each word. This woman is a true talent, a writer beyond measure. Getting lost within the pages she graciously scribed is an immense gift.
I could feel her love for these characters as I fell for them too. Hayes is legit THE KING. I am still picking my jaw up off the floor over this man. He is so freaking p ...more

"I'm not giving up on us. I know I've got a lot to learn, but I love you. And we are fucking worth it, Confidence."

I especially loved how Hayes and Confidence met, and connected. Hayes was very rude in the beginning, but Confidence was fierce, and definitely knew how to stick up for herself. The at ...more

Wow! I am almost freaking speechless after finishing this!!! I know I will never be able to find the words to do this book Justice but I'm gonna try.
Confidence and Hayes are freaking amazing!!!
They are perfectly imperfect!!!
And make the best couple and really fight for what they believe in. They over come some big obstacles and there are some plot twists that I didn't see coming! I was gasping and gripping the edge of my seat.
I highly recommend it!!! ...more

This book was a good surprise. A mix of good romance around family drama.
The male character, at the beginning seems a robot, yes... but after I read more I loved his actions and understood everything.
What a ride!
It’s worth the reading!

I hate that I didn’t enjoy reading this as much as expected, because it screams everything I want and need—family fortune, inheritance, legacy, secrets and rivalries. For some reason, I expected the female protagonist to be the “other family”, turning this into a delicious forbidden, enemies-to-lovers read.
I started skim reading early on and was tempted to stop reading multiple times. I couldn’t connect with either main character, or find myself invested in their romance. The Legacy is one hundr ...more
From the moment Dylan announced the Rivers Wilde world I knew it was going to be unlike anything I read before. I knew it would be special. While reading it the story instantaneously came to life, with beautiful description and ethereal images. The theme and style compelling and romantic. The beginning set in the beautiful landscape of Tuscany where a gorgeous, smart and independent woman meets the tall, dark and mysterious man that is Hayes Rivers. A man who’s face will pop up in the dictionary

There is no denying it. The Legacy is hot AF.
Let's admit the fact that we all love a good romance book that has a hot alpha male who whispers sweet nothings into our ears ...and a female protagonist who is smart, sexy, independent and can dish it as much as any man can.
The Legacy is a bloody awesome read. I bet you won't be able to stop reading this book. The chemis ...more
Wow, just wow!!! Dylan Allen has blown me away with this book!!! Hayes and Confidence come from two different worlds. Hayes comes from a family of power and money. He's the current keeper of the family's legacy, which almost went to ruin under his uncle's care. Confidence is poor and had a pretty rough childhood. She didn't let any of that stop her though. She is so beyond strong and sassy!! Together, they make one heck of a power couple. They have intense chemistry and they are hot AF together

Once again Dylan Allen as amazed me with her words. The way she brings these characters to life and as you drawn in from the start is talent. I have read all of her books and each one is amazing in their own. The Legacy is definitely up there for a top read for me this year.
Hayes and Confidence are not your typical couple and the way they meet and fell for each other isn’t your typical way either. We start with a young Hayes dealing with a lost and finding out somethings. Fast forward years lat ...more

What to say about this book...I don’t even know where to start! It was beautiful, it was angsty, it was one hell of a ride! Confidence and Hayes are an amazingly strong couple, despite all their differences. They have an unlikely love story for two people from opposite sides of the track! This story was wonderfully written with twists and turns that will leave you gasping for air!

Legacy definitly the best i read from Dylan Allen so far. Love every twist and turn the author woven in this story. Not just about love, Legacy is full of intrigue, secret, betrayel and passion. Plot that worthy of a Kingdom.
