Maverick “the Avenger” Cage wants to rise to the top and become a legend in the ring. Though he keeps his identity well guarded, he’s known on the fighting circuit as the new kid with a chip on his shoulder and a tattoo on his back that marks him as trouble. He’s got a personal score to settle with the Underground’s one and only Remington “Riptide” Tate.
As Mav trains, he meets a young girl—the only other new person in the town-and sparks fly. When things get heated between them, he finds out she’s none other than Reese Dumas, the cousin of Remington Tate’s wife. A girl who’s supposed to root against him and a girl he’s supposed to stay away from.
But Maverick fights for the woman in his heart, and the monsters in his blood. The world’s eyes are on them and the victor will go down in history as the ultimate fighting champion; the ultimate LEGEND.
The highly anticipated sixth story in the New York Times bestselling series that began with Real—“a rare mix of fevered obsession and gentle enchantment…a visceral and addicting debut” (Christina Lauren).
TRISH’S REVIEW
We want to welcome Trish to the blog as another guest reviewer!
‘Legends never die, even if they die alone’
I must say, for a fighter series, this one has me hooked. Reese is the sweet innocent girl that falls for the total bad boy. She has her own demons she is working through while staying the summer with Remy and Brooke. Maverick “The Avenger” Cage comes along and helps her fight those demons. The relationship they develop is quick, beautiful and intense. The story truly takes you on the “butterfly in your belly” ride.
In order to become a legend, Mav must defeat Remy in the ring. Remy has never been defeated. This story takes you on some unexpected twists through his journey to become the LEGEND and Remy eventually becoming very important to him.
I will say my only downfall with the book is how Reese guarded the last part of herself through her recovery (her virginity) and then caved into Mav’s advances so quickly into the story.
I do understand the point, but sometimes for me it’s hard when it can’t quite be relatable in real life.
Other than that, the story flowed great and was truly a wonderful read and continuation of the series! Can’t wait for what’s next.
