Blurb:
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.

My Thoughts:
Kieran Kavanagh is a man who was
a troubled youth. His actions have not
only affected him but his family as well.
Fiona Doherty has a lot on her plate.
She doesn’t have the time or energy to add another person into her life.
The author lets you in on who her
scene-stealer is. If you read the
Foreword you will know who it is. She’s
a little lady that will steal your heart.
Our author also goes the extra mile in the scene-stealer department –
you’ll love Kieran’s mom. She’s also
created a sad tale because of the circumstances these two had dealt in their
life and those circumstances have changed their future. But if not for Kieran’s circumstances, they
may never have met.
I know there is an age difference
but this story made me think of Riding
The Bus With My Sister. It just made
me think of Shea. If you want a
different perspective you might try Rain
Man or even Fly Away. This story spoke strongly to me. Quite a few years ago, I had the chance to
spend some quality time with children of all different ages who all happened to
have some form of autism. I had the
privilege to meet a single mother who had not one, not two, but three boys all with
different forms of autism.
Kieran turning his life around
was a great inspiration. But he was also
willing to take a chance on Fiona and her sister. There are times when you’ll feel a tear in
your eye and then other times you’ll be smiling. The author doesn’t get too serious because
she lightens the mood by getting us to giggle.
Your ending is the HEA that some of us come to expect. This book can be considered a stand-alone but
if you loved Kieran, you will want to check out the other two books of the
series.
