When I met Remi in the first book, I totally fell in love with him. After seeing that his story was a second-chance romance, it heightened my excitement even more. The Legend is a beautiful and sexy contemporary romance about characters who are from different worlds but fit so perfectly together. The chemistry between Remi and Kal was smoking hot and I really felt their passion. The first half of the book takes place in the past when they first met. I loved that the author decided to tell it in one big piece instead of inserting flashbacks every few chapters. This helps me in understanding the dynamics of their relationship. However, I felt like that some scenes were cut short. This confused me a time or two because I was expecting the scene to continue but it then moved on to the next day or week. And I know that the author can't go into too much detail otherwise the book probably would've been twice the size. But I just couldn't get enough of the characters and story.
"She's got a wildness in her that's contagious. Her imagination is full of magic that's more than a cheap trick of the eye and she's got a beauty so distinctive that I know I could travel the whole world and not find anyone who reminds me of her."
For me in regards to second-chance romances, I really want the biggest piece of the book to take place in present time, to fully develop the growth of the characters as a couple. That was my biggest issue with this book. Instead of fully concentrating on their relationship, Remi was more focused on solving a family mystery. Don't get me wrong, the twists regarding the family was, like the previous book, a very pleasant and intriguing part of the story. However, I wanted Remi and Kal to have more time together. I loved the maturity of how they handled things and the passion between them was amazing. I loved how they met and how their relationship came into existence, and how the respect and love for each other never went away. Remi is definitely a swoon-worthy book boyfriend. I absolutely love Dylan's writing and her characters are seriously the best. I feel a strong connection to them, and I always end up not wanting the story to end.
