Praised by Penelope Ward as “a unique story line with multiple layers to it,” Sarah Robinson’s Saving a Legend goes another round with the brooding Kavanagh brothers: MMA fighters who won’t call it quits in the ring, or in romance.
His family’s gym has produced a roster of mixed martial arts legends, but so far Kieran Kavanagh hasn’t followed in their footsteps. After a brawl lands him in jail, Kieran is assigned to work at a center for at-risk youth. Though given a second chance, Kieran’s simply going through the motions—until he meets one very special kid, Shea Doherty, and falls hard for her very beautiful, very grown-up big sister, Fiona. The trouble is, Kieran’s best opening moves are getting him nowhere fast.
Fiona Doherty has too many responsibilities to fool around, especially now that she has custody of Shea. Sure, she’d love to find a devoted partner. But she won’t jeopardize her sister’s happiness—or risk revealing her tortured past—on a love-’em-and-leave-’em type of guy like Kieran . . . so it’s up to him to prove her wrong. As Fiona spends more time with Kieran, she starts to see a softer side of the reckless warrior. Now she must admit that when it comes to the possibility of real love, well . . . there’s a fighting chance.
Includes a special message from the editor, as well as an excerpt from another Loveswept title.
I received a copy from Netgalley for an honest review.
Kieran…Sigh…Wait a second I need a few more sighs….Ok I can begin.
This book is about sweet Kieran. Now lets get the family dynamics outta the way, Kieran is the other twin to Kane. There are several brothers in the MMA fighting family but Kieran doesn’t really love it. He has the most potential but its just not his thing and theeeen he made bad choices. These choices land him prison for a stint but now he is ready. One day Kieran stops to grab some flowers for his mom and he sees HER. He cant stop thinking about her or looking at her…there is just something about her.
Fiona is not your everyday woman. She adopted her sister after her mother died. Now her sister is not just any young child but she suffers from Autism. Fiona cant handle her day to day life let alone try dating. That is just not in the cards for her. So she lives her life by working and taking care of her little sister. Kieran will not give up. He even played a bit “dirty” by having his mother come to his aide. His mother is prolly the most amazing person EVAH!!
I loved the story and I liked how “real” the issues of autism were plus the fact of how it affects families.
