Title: Breaking a Legend
Series: Kavanagh Legends Book #1
Stand Alone Title: yes
Author: Sarah Robinson
Genre: Romance, MMA
Blurb: Sarah Robinson’s series debut
introduces the Kavanagh brothers—mixed martial arts fighters who work hard,
play hard, and love with all their hearts.
As one of the big names at his family’s gym, Legends, MMA star Rory Kavanagh is
used to being in the spotlight—until a gruesome leg injury knocks him out of
the cage. Rory is left feeling sidelined in more ways than one, battling the
inner demons that come with losing the one shot at his dreams. Then Clare walks
into his life and gives him a new dream: winning her heart. There aren’t many
new faces in Woodlawn these days, but this tough, beautiful stranger makes Rory
want to get his life back into fighting shape.
Clare Ivers doesn’t think she’ll be able to tell anyone what really brought her
to the close-knit Bronx neighborhood where she just started bartending. But her
life’s on pause and her past is catching up fast, try as she might to move
on—with new friends, steady work, and a chiseled alpha male trying to get her attention.
Even though Rory’s more than a little intense, she can’t deny that her heart
beats faster when he looks at her with those soulful silver eyes. Clare thought
she was done with love, but Rory might just be man enough to show her she
thought wrong.
Thoughts: I think one of the most appealing things about this book is the cover! I also thought since it was MMA, it would be an easy winner for me, but it fell a bit flat. I liked it, but when compared to a lot of the other MMA books out there it falls a bit short for me.
