About Breaking a Legend:
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.

My Thoughts:
Rory Kavanagh has a big ego.
He shows how someone can be on a high one moment and be down low the
next. You can see the bond he has with
his brothers. Claire Ivers seems to be
in the right place at the right time.
She has her own personal demons that she’s trying to overcome.
Our author has created a great family support system and who
better than a mother, the matriarch of the family. I loved how the author developed Rory’s
story. He ended up showing me a strength
that I wasn’t sure we’d see. Having
someone that believes in you goes a long way.
One thing she was good at is not letting Rory’s demons overtake the
whole story. It’s an important message
but if the story was to get too preachy than the readers might not finish a
really good story.
We have an MMA fighter that just had a bad day at work and that
bad day changed his life. Claire turns
out to be a great support system for him – she lets him know in so many words,
“get over yourself”. It was interesting
to watch the natural progression of their relationship. We also get to see that there’s more than one
type of rescue – whether it be human or animal.
It’s been a while since I read this family’s stories and it was nice to
get reacquainted – and once I got to the end I decided that I just might have
to revisit them.
