Review: Savage Legacy (The Legacies #3) by Lora Leigh

[Eva Millien]

What the book has to say:

Book 3 in the Legacies series The story of Shanar 'The Savage'. Hotter, more intense, an adventure of danger, passion, and a promise unlike any other. Of a man who has waited a thousand years for the one woman who can melt his soul and soothe the fires that burn inside him. Shane has longed for Ariel's return. Through countless, lonely years with nothing to help him survive but dreams, tormenting fantasies and vivid memories of their brief time together. That is about to end. Ariel is alive once more and she will be his. But the Ariel who returns to him is a stranger, has forgotten the deep love that sustained him. Crushed by childhood betrayal by a vicious father, trusting neither her sanity nor those who seek only to protect her, the last thing she is ready for is a savage warrior and a love she's never believed in. But the forces she controls and the memories are just waiting to remind her. As is the Viking who has decided enough is enough. She's his woman, and now he intends to show her exactly what that means. Ariel is about to find out what the "power of love" truly means.

What I have to say:

Crushed by childhood betrayal, Ariel trust no one and the last thing she needs is a savage warrior and a love she's never believed in but Ariel is about to find out what the "power of love" truly means in this spellbinding paranormal romance.

Shane has longed for Ariel's return but she's forgotten the deep love that sustained him a thousand years ago and the reader can't help but be drawn into the inner personal battle that wages between memories and the present as Ariel and Shane fight to survive. Their attraction to each other burns hot enough to consume them but the relationship is so far from being emotionally stable that it will take a miracle for Shane and Ariel to overcome the past. The characters are strong and demand the reader's attentions from the very beginning while the fast paced and smooth flowing plot enthralls readers with lots of suspense, excitement and romance.

The odds are stacked against the warriors already with Jonar still up to his usual evilness and destruction and Ariel's father can certainly compete with Jonar on being evil but there's also someone else working against the warriors and it will take them all to win this exciting battle as they search for the Mistress of the Water.

Excitement and expectation build throughout the story as the danger escalates and once Ariel begins to learn to command the wind, things really get exciting. The well written scenes and details capture the imagination as the well timed events draws readers in and ensures that is never a dull moment.

This story gets more exciting the closer the characters get to achieving the means to defeat the evil Jonar and I was completely caught up in Ariel and Shane's story from the very beginning and Shane is such a sexy viking berserker that he makes my heart pound even while I want to strangle the dominate jerk... anyway, I can't wait to find out what happens next in this battle between good and evil.
