I love the way your pussy smells. I fucking miss the way it tastes. Im 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!

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 wasnt 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 ...more

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 doesnt want anything handed to her. She wants it because shes the right woman for the job and shes capable. Hayes is the heir to Rivers Kingdom and is back in Houston to claim what is rightfully his.

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 ...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."
The Legacy was such a great story with intriguing characters. I was hooked from the start, and couldn't wait to see what would happen to them. 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 ...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!!!

I hate that I didnt enjoy reading this as much as expected, because it screams everything I want and needfamily 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 couldnt connect with either main character, or find myself invested in their romance. The Legacy is one hundred ...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 whos face will pop up in the dictionary

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.

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.

What to say about this book...I dont 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!

OH. MY. FREAKING. GOODNESS!!!! I'm so in love with Hayes and Confidence! I want to live in their world and be their best friend! From the beginning I was completely invested in their relationship! They pulled me in so quickly! Hayes was everything I knew he would be! And Confidence was so great in the way she dealt with him. There were a couple of great twists that I did NOT see coming! I'm so into this whole world of Rivers Wilde and I can wait to read about more is these characters! Dylan

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.
İ love how strong Confidence is. She is the vision of a Queen to her King. And Hayes, he is the King in every sense even without the crown.

This author has taken a power house female character and made the reader love her. Confidence doesnt have to reduce herself to petty insults, sneers and stepping on people to get what she wants. She takes it with hard work, dedication and remembering where she came from and how she got where she is. Confidence will never look back on her life with regrets. She mightve been born with a weird name but she turned it and herself into a person she is proud to be.

This is a contemporary romance that delivered plenty of sensual moments and intense chemistry. I did love the relationship between Hayes and Confidence but this romance also offered so much more. There was so much tension, and drama and that is what gives this book the perfect balance between sexy and substance.
