"I don’t love him messy by accident. I love him messy by choice."
Their Broken Legend is the turn of the youngest Butcher Brother, Xander. This is his story of healing, trauma, love, everlasting optimism and raw emotion. He is the upbeat and positive brother that hides his trauma under a layer of sunshine and tail wagging. He plays his role in the District and for his brothers, no matter the cost to himself.
Then along comes the fallen from grace Kaya, whose Dad has recently been imprisoned. She and her Mum and sisters are finding a new way to be without their Dad leading the way. Kaya staunchly refuses to be used by a man and insists on taking pleasure with no concern for attachments or romance. But the chemistry she shares with Xander is burning and real and lights up the pages. These two share a connection that is raw and honest and Xander is desperate for something raw of his own. Once he finds Kaya, he is not letting her go.
I came to this series late and have fallen for the brothers out of order. But I think I love Xander the most. Being the youngest, his trauma unites the brothers and forces a shared honesty between the family. His optimism is adorable and his devotion burns. Oh and did I mention, these two have crazy hot physical chemistry. This book is steamy

There were several moments where I very seriously considered not finishing because Kaya annoyed me so much. I stuck it out because Xander seemed so sweet.

Spice Scale
〰️ No romantic plot
🤍A dash of romantic plot is there, but mostly handholding. The romance in the title is a blip
🩶A romantic plot is present, but doesn't get past kisses and hugs.
💚 There is some light spice, but closed door
🧡 There are mildly descriptive spicy scenes, but they are finished very quickly and could be easily skipped over.
🤎 Spice is present, very descriptive, but doesn't overwhelm the plot.
🩷 There is a plot, but there are quite a lot of descriptive spicy scenes that are different encounters that span back to back chapters (chapter changes that are just POVchanges do not count).
💜 Plot? There's just enough to get to the next round of spicy times.
