BREAKING A LEGEND
Kavanagh Legends #1
Sarah Robinson
Released Sept 29th, 2015
Loveswept
Perfect for fans of Katy Evans and
Monica Murphy, Sarah Robinson’s blistering-hot series debut introduces the
Kavanagh brothers—mixed martial arts fighters who work hard, play hard, and
love with all their hearts.
As one of the big names at his
family’s gym, Legends, MMA star Rory Kavanagh is used to being in the
spotlight—until a gruesome leg injury knocks him out of the cage. Rory is left
feeling sidelined in more ways than one, battling the inner demons that come
with losing the one shot at his dreams. Then Clare walks into his life and
gives him a new dream: winning her heart. There aren’t many new faces in
Woodlawn these days, but this tough, beautiful stranger makes Rory want to get
his life back into fighting shape.
Clare Ivers doesn’t think she’ll be
able to tell anyone what really brought her to the close-knit Bronx
neighborhood where she just started bartending. But her life’s on pause and her
past is catching up fast, try as she might to move on—with new friends, steady
work, and a chiseled alpha male trying to get her attention. Even though Rory’s
more than a little intense, she can’t deny that her heart beats faster when he
looks at her with those soulful silver eyes. Clare thought she was done with
love, but Rory might just be man enough to show her she thought wrong.

When I saw this was an MMA book, I had to sign up for an
ARC. I love MMA, so I love to read about
it as well. The story line is good and I
like Rory and Clare for the most part.
There were a few things that seemed off to me though.
1.)
The first thing is that Rory is training his
brother, Kane. They grew up in a
fighting family, but yet it seemed Kane was just starting out at the age of
twenty-six. You would think he would
know all the basics of MMA by now. If
you’re from a fighting family, you start training and learning as soon as
you’re able to.
2.)
The second thing is Clare wants to be a
vet. She dropped out of college before,
so she doesn’t have a degree. Vet school
is harder to get into than med school.
You typically need a vet tech degree, or pre-vet med degree before
applying to vet school. But yet, she’s
in vet school.
3.)
The third thing is Rory’s whole addiction. He is addicted to pain pills and is an
alcoholic. It’s to the point where his
family is getting ready to send him to rehab.
But wait, he meets Clare and then he’s suddenly clean and sober because
of her.
I know this is fiction, and not real. But sometimes in books things are off and it
just drives me crazy.
I did like Rory’s family.
I’m not sure if I will continue with this series or not. I may read the next book, just to see.
There really wasn’t much MMa in the book. There was the epilogue that had part of the
fight that ended Rory’s career. And then
Kane had a fight, but it skipped right over the fight. If the book is an MMA book, I want to read
fight scenes! That’s what makes it an
MMA book. It’s like saying a book is an
MC read because the main character has a motorcycle. Show me the fights please. You can’t just use “armbar” or “choke hold”
and call it an MMA book.
