Review by Darlene: Breaking a Legend by Sarah Robinson


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.

Includes a special message from the editor, as well as an excerpt from another Loveswept title.

ARC review

Breaking A Legend by Sarah Robinson

Breaking A Legend is a true gritty raw romance that focuses on an MMA fighter who is trying to overcome a debilitating injury and and young woman running from a haunting past.

Rory Kavanagh is passionate Irish fighter and loves nothing more to banter and entice the beauty Clare Ivers.

Robinson weaves a story full of tragedy and triumph. I enjoyed the characters and the overall fight to overcome the past as a basis for this book. 

3.75 Knockout Stars
