Legacy by Sheridan Anne

kfriend's review

4.0

Sheridan Anne just keeps upping the ante! This gritty reverse harem saga is just overflowing with drama, dangerous secrets, volatile chemistry, and all the angst! Empire was only just a taste of what is to come in this tantalizing world - Legacy has arrived, and oh juicy deliciousness was it wild.

There was much to build on in Legacy- not only do we have these five layered and super complicated characters to unpack but they are all deep in the middle of some ISH. Our heroine Oakley continues to bring the fire and feistiness- she's strong and determined, but girl is also so easily seduced by the BDE of our very naughty harem. I'm excited for her to grab them more by the reigns- as more and more she rises out of being a girl trapped and controlled by this world and more a girl whose strength shapes it. The boys are all kinds of yummy and misbehaving- their own plots, their own plans, their own machinations...some of them you may still want to smack because of their shenanigans (hello Zade)- but fortunately they make up for it with some panty-melting smexy times. And, while each has intrigued me in their own way (Cross in particularly gets me all curious), Dalton has thus far been my favorite and Legacy only solidified him and his golden retriever energy. He brought more than just the comedic relief to this one. NOM NOM. Also, donuts and motorcyles....well....let's just say Sheridan Anne has ruined them for me in the best way possible. Is it hot in here?! DAYUM.

As always, Sheridan left us with a dooooozie of a cliffhanger, a bazillion questions to figure out, and all the tingles. I have my theories, but there's still a lot of story to tell, and I have a feeling these characters are gonna keep on riding the one way train on down to crazytown for SO much drama in our next book. CHOO CHOO- and I'm all aboard.

This is the second book and simutaniously, the second best. The relationship are improving so much and the cliffhangers got me in a chokehold. Now, I'm ngl but this did drag a bit just because of

Oakley being unable to leave Zade's penthouse </spoiler > and the fact that he's being so distant, because he has to scarifice her so he doesn't want to get close.
The third book is what got me hooked 100%.....

I felt somewhat apprehensive that Legacy would feel eerily similar to Sheridan’s Boys of Winter series, much like the first book in the Empire series did. However, even though some moments felt reminiscent of BOW, I was pleased to see that this series is becoming its own. Although, non of that took away from my enjoyment of the book. I’m still just as invested in these characters and the continuation of the plot. 

In Legacy, we get more of an insight into the guys. Specifically Zade. We got to see more of the depth to him and not just surface level things, but rather what makes him tick…surprise, it’s Oakley. There’s so much potential with Zade’s character; you can feel the tension ridding between him and Oakley and I’m so here for when it finally blows up! 

Also, the other guys—Dalton, Sawyer and Easton—were just as much as a treat too. There is a good mixture of sweet and spicy when it comes to the guys, each of them bringing their own thing to the tables and it blends well with Oakley. We also got more of an inside look of Easton; seeing that he’s had a darker life than the rest but only touching the surface of what that could be, so it’ll be interesting to see if we get more information on him. 

Sawyers life has been upended countless times in this book and all at the hands of his best-friend. There was renationalise between the two throughout and that only seemed to intensify towards the end. Sawyer feels betrayed by Zade, so it’s going to be fun to see if he’ll be able to forgive him. 

And Dalton, well he’s just a sweetheart really. At first, he was the one to betray Oakley the most, but you can see how he’s slowly falling for her and how the guilt is eating him up. He seems to be the only one who’s actively trying to find a way to save Oakley from her impending death. 

That being said, with Dalton being the only one of the guys to try to help Oakley, I just wish that the rest of them would actually do something to get her out of this situation she’s in. It’s really heartbreaking seeing that they don’t seem to be doing much to help just accepting what will be and it only makes me feel more for Oakley because she truly feels things for these guys. 

Finally, like all of Sheridan’s books there was a big cliffhanger at the end, obviously making me want to go straight onto the next (just as I will be doing after finishing writing this review). Now, this cliffy was quite shocking because the way it was portrayed seemed simple…but who are am I kidding nothing Sheridan Anne writes is simple. 

So, while I ponder over the fact that what happened at the end couldn’t have actually happened, I can’t help but root for Oakley. This girl deserves to live and I maybe be delusional here but I’ll be a bit disappointed if she doesn’t take Empire for herself in the end!

As always 5 stars! So last book Cross was my favorite and this book Dalton might be taking the lead. I just love this series so much. Love secret society's.
I love our main girl that even though she gets distracted she still fights back when she can. I loved watching the guys around her. And as always that cliffhanger always gets me.
