The men in this book are fantastic. After reading Dark Legacy The Complete Series, I'm a fan of their fictional characters. However, this book focuses mainly on Dylan and his story of falling for the girl of his dreams and some surprises. This book is dark, gritty, action-packed, emotional, and has a steamy romance. I loved the damaged mc Brooklyn and watching her find her strength. I love how supportive Dylan is and caring even though he is all Alpha Male. I enjoyed every part of this story as much as Dark Legacy The Complete series. This was another fantastic story, and I can't wait for more in this series.

I love that this book begins shortly after the mega-ending of the series. We start with Brooklyn; she has had forbidden trysts with Dylan and seems addicted to him. She has a somewhat damaged family dynamic. This book is mostly from her pov, but I know this will get better and deeper as the story progresses. This first chapter has a trigger warning this book is dark; don't read it if you can't handle a lot of twisted behavior.

That camp is something, but it makes sense in this Delta world. However, when Brooklyn's worlds come crashing together, I am surprised but her strength of will. Dylan and Brooklyn's story is just as twisted and dark as The Dark Legacy books. Wow, things were getting better before they went from bad to worse. This story is as emotional as it is action-packed. I love that after the devastating sequence of events, we get more Riley and Eddy and, of course.
The Delta Hiers. Dylan is a little angrier than he was in the last book, even toward Brooklyn. Oh, this book has some holiday vibes in it as well as winter ones.

If her guesses are accurate, this book gets much more complicated for Dylan. This book has a fabulous ending of true family and all the holiday feels to make you swoon. It was the perfect addition to the Dark Legacy storyline, and I can't wait to read Evan and Jasper's stories.

Dylan & Brooklyn

I loved this book!! It's completely different to the rest of this series but just as good!

I loved seeing more of our favourites from the main series but also Dylan!!! I needed more of him and I love this!

What a great ending too 🥹 

Looking forward to more of Tate & Jaymin in the future!

Soooo this is a story I didn’t know I needed. Absolutely fell in love with Brooklyn from the first chapter. I’m obviously a sucker for alpha males as well. I loved all the cameos from the rest of the delta crew and how a few other small plot lines from dark legacy were filled in here.

Brooklyn is strong willed and head strong. Not the typical FMC I’ve been reading about lately so this was a change of pace. And obviously Dylan is Dylan and {swoon} he saves the day and plays his overprotective alpha role well.

This duo delivered another solid co-write with enticing characters and a solid plot. I would not be upset to have the other two heirs’ stories.

Dylan is the fourth and I think final installment of the Dark Legacy series. Not sure if there's going to be another book at the moment so I'm going to stick with my statement. Now the previous book was kind of okay so I'll admit that I was hesitant to dive into this one. I mean, I was one book away from finishing this series so I figure why the hell not?

After diving into this, I knew that I was going to like it right away. There was just something about Dylan and Brooklyn that made this book fly by. I mean she lived a horrible life with her psychotic brother and goons. So when she got sent to this "camp", I had a feeling that Dylan and her was going to have a mini reunion. They did and the sparks freaking flew guys.

Of course, drama definitely came and went because her brother is a cockroach that just wouldn't die. Until, ya know.. karma (aka Dylan) came into his life. Definitely not surprised by what went down but I was a little annoyed with the miscommunication between the two main characters.

Luckily, for me, they had surgery to remove their head from their own asses and saw the light. Things got better and the ending was pretty freaking cute. Also the other reunion put a smile on my face even though I called it from the very beginning.

In the end, it was a cute book.

The dark and broody world created by these two talented authors takes an almost sweet turn with Dylan, offering up a romance that edges on cute, while still hosting that diabolical back drop of powerful families and blood in the water. Honestly, it's a crucial combination and makes for some great late night reading.

Abused girl, hidden identities, corporate espionage, billionaires and brats.... it has a little bit of everything, and a Happily Ever After that leaves the reader sighing with happiness. From the first book in the Dark Legacy world, I have kept my eye on Dylan. Not only is he incredibly hot, but there were obvious deep waters swirling around him, and secrets that were taunted throughout the narrative. Those secrets are laid bare in this installment, grabbed kicking and screaming into the light by the love of a lost girl determined to try to find her independence.

It's both sweet and dark, charming and riveting. In other words, it's everything Jaymin Eve and Tate James are known for.

My Final Verdict on Dylan



I enjoyed this book immensely - it felt a bit softer than the rest of the series, but it still road that edge of danger well. The characters we well developed and we receive plenty of cameos of Riley!

Dylan has been a favorite of most everyone from the very first book by Eve and James. These two know how to capture the reader's attention from the first word and holds it until the very last.

We get to see Dylan find his own end game in this book. Brooklyn has lived her life for everyone else and doing what she is told. If she fights back, she gets knocked down, and with the death of her parents, her older brother takes things to the extreme. Dylan is the only one who truly gives her the escape she needs, but she knows this is not something that can last forever.

Dylan is starting to look forward after leaving Rylie behind. Their relationship in the previous three books shows a connection that could have been something more. He finds someone of his own and does his best to keep her for himself until he can no longer hide just how much she means to him.

Dylan and Brooklyn meet up again after she walks away in the most unlikely of places. She proves she is more than just a pretty face and could actually be the one person who can break through all the walls Dylan has placed in his life. These two only see each other, but can they wade through the BS together to stay together????

Eve and James finally gave us the story we have always wanted in ways we never knew we needed. Their writing is flawless and flows from one writer to the other in a way that is synchronized; you don't know who writes what part. If this is the last of the Delta series, I would be OK, but I am greedy with the hope that Jasper and Evan will get their happily ever after too.

I seriously can’t even put into words how much I loved Brooke and Dylan. Brooke was dealt a horrible hand in life and I have no idea how she managed to stay such a good person despite it. It showed how strong she was that she didn’t let it turn her into a bitter, selfish woman. I loved experiencing her transition from just thinking snarky thoughts to starting to voice them. She needed to learn to stand up for herself and she did great once she figured it out. I respected her need to find herself before being totally immersed in Dylan once she had the chance to stand on her own.

Dylan was perfect for Brooke in the sense that he let her come to things in her own time. Like they way he kept meeting with her waiting for her to open up. The way he didn’t force the issue when she first showed up covered in bruises. While this may have caused some misunderstandings, along with the communication issues, it allowed Brooke to go to him when she was ready. I think she really needed that after being under Blake’s rule for so long. It showed how much he cared about her that he was able to put aside his alpha ways when she needed him to.

It was interesting to see the delta 5 from an outside perspective. Also to see some of the changes they put in place after they took over. While some things changed there was still plenty of danger just like in the first three books.
I’m so happy Tate and jaymin decided to tell Dylan and brookes story. I always loved Dylan and I ended up loving Brooke even more!

Dylan was such a pleasantly amazing surprise. I know how much I love Tate and Jaymin as separate writers and together they’re dynamite. I mean the Dark Legacy is probably one of my all time favorite duo written series’. Dylan did not disappoint. Quite the opposite. It blew me away. This story, although is a stand alone, was so terrifically intertwined and felt so natural as book four. I loved everything about this story from start to finish. It grabbed my attention and once I finished it left me yearning for more from the delta 5, but really Dylan and Brooke. I can not emphasize enough how perfect this book fit into the series. I am hoping there will be more because the way these two wrote this book leaves you with NEEDING more and more.

This book is solely about Dylan Grant, a delta 5 heir. He was as amazingly beautiful as I pictured in my head as he was in the pages. He was of course our typical alpha-male. But when he shows who he really is your heart melts. Brooklyn is such a shy, little bird as we start off this book. Her story is everything sad and heartbreaking as one can get. The connection, love, fight, and chemistry displayed between the pages is some of the best. Very real emotions. Such tragedy followed by a beautiful ending. I can not wait emphasize how much I loved this book. These two authors are quite amazing and I look foraged to everything they have in store for us in the future!
