The first 4 books in the series were amazing, but the final 2 just didn't do it for me. This one felt like we were just rushing from scene to scene, and it lacked cohesiveness. The buildup of Eden and Jade's relationship was also way too fast, so I didn't believe there was a true connection there. It felt like Jade was Eden's manic pixie dream girl, while Eden was just there for Jade's sexual awakening/obsession.
Then, in the scene when Jade confronted Eden about being emotionally cut off, it felt so unearned and obnoxious. Jade barely knew her and was throwing all of these bold accusations at her, and it was so heavy-handed. I feel like the scene could have worked if Clay and Jade had spoken previously about his feelings for Eden and how she shut him out in the past, but Jade knew nothing about that so she was coming at Eden hard without context or history to back it up.
Around 70%, I just didn't care anymore and almost DNFd because I was forcing myself to finish. Only pushed through because I didn't want to stop so close to finishing the entire series.
The whole third act breakup felt very forced, and all of the MCs felt immature, but things at least got interesting for a bit afterward.
Closing out the book with the story that opened all of the other ones was a nice touch and left a heartwarming feeling that convinced me to bump up from 2 to 3 stars in the end. I honestly wish the author had skipped the epilogues to end on that note. The first one was bland, and the second apparently set up Jack's book. I know legacy series are a thing, but there's something skeevy about including a scene to set it up in the book where he was seven years old. Made me want to knock this back down to 2 stars, but I'm not gonna be petty.

I love this book more and more the more times I read it. There’s something about Eden, Jade and Clay’s relationship. And now I can’t wait to read Jack’s book and get the next generation
Loved this origin story of a big member of the Salacious Crew and the book/this story also felt educational and informative on this lifestyle or it offered a nice glimpse into this lifestyle.
Plus, thank you for all the layers with everyone, especially Eden.

This was my favorite out of all 6 books. This was also my first hexalogy and I was struggling to rush through them. 6 books in a series is a lot.
I fell in love with all the characters and writing was *chefs kiss*
The fact that I could have picked up any of the 6 books and read them all out of order but could still follow was great!
Eden is an extremely lovable character. There’s someone for everyone to relate to in these books.

Salacious players club is one of my favorite series. I put off reading this because I was so sad it was ending. I absolutely loved it. It gave me the worst book hangover. I loved her depiction of madame and mff.
Didn't finish as start Salacious Legacy Audio book.
Listen, I have had a book girlfriend crush on Eden since her first mention. I have adored getting glimpses of Eden throughout the series. I LOVED learning more and more about her. I liked Jade and Clay as well, although I did have one smaller issue that led to me giving this a 4.5 stars. But this was such a great end to the series and such a great story for my fave.

This story was so freaking good. Brandon Francis, Maxine Mitchell, and Muffy Newton were absolutely fantastic. The way they brought these characters and story to life made it feel like I was part of it.
Something I've loved about this series, and this book is not the exception, is the journey and growth each character goes through. I honestly think Eden's journey has been one of my favorites so far. Since the first book in the series we've known she's a badass, and the embodiment of what an empowered woman is, but learning her backstory and all her secrets in this book shows just how strong she truly is, but at the same time, how she's still afraid of getting hurt again.
I also loved Jade and Clay's journey and how they grew both as individuals, and as a couple. The way that Jade discovered her true self and how Clay learned to love himself no matter what those around him did or said. Honestly, these three just have my whole damn heart.
