It was nice to finally get back to seeing the Loughman's. This is Wyatt and Callie''s story. We begin where we left off in the last book. We finally get answers in this book but realize this is just the beginning of taking down this horrible group. Through out the whole book both Callie and Wyatt are stubborn as all hell to their feels for each other. They are both badasses and family comes first.

I have been waiting (impatiently!) for Callie and Wyatt's story. It did not disappoint. Wyatt is so closed off from everyone especially his family, but there is something about Callie that he isn't immune to. He's the silent, brooding type, but being paired up with Callie while they try to save the bioweapon from the Saints starts to crack his walls. Callie is a strong woman. The things she's been through with her family have tested her, but nothing has ever done so as much as Wyatt. The past never remains buried, especially when feelings burn so hot they can't be ignored.
There has to be more of this series! I want Lev and Maks to get their books. I thought this would be the end, but thankfully, I don't think it is. Love this series and all the men and women in it!

Holy Crap ! I loved this book.

The Legend is the third book in this suspenseful series from Donna Grant. I just knew Wyatt and Callie's book would be awesome. It was obvious that they had a deep connection even though Wyatt pushed Callie away to protect her. Now someone is targeting their family and they all have to work together to solve the mystery that may have a personal connection to the Loughmans. As the story progressed Wyatt and Callie gave in to the sizzling chemistry that time, distance and hard feelings couldn't kill. Meanwhile, they had to overcome one enemy after another.

This fast paced plot was loaded with action, intrigue and surprises that kept me guessing until the end. The characters in this series have been so richly developed that I didn't want to say goodbye to them. So it's a really good thing that I won't have to .... completely say goodbye that is. The intrigue and common thread that spans the series continued to grow in this book. New characters were introduced and then there is Orrin, the white knight Loughman patriarch who still greives for his murdered wife. I can't wait to read the next book.

Long awaited Book 3 for me in this series. I was waiting to see what the story was between Wyatt and Callie. The previous books barely alluded to their obvious over the top dislike for each other, the abrasive and cold Wyatt who blames his father for his mothers death and is totally closed off from the family. Wyatt is the oldest. Callie has been working on the ranch for years, had a brief tryst with Wyatt before he unceremoniously dumped her and went off to college, he never came home. Callie stayed all these years with Orrin, the father and seeing her potential recruiter her for their Special Ops group. Callie is the computer wizard, that's her primary task but she's a formidable opponent as well.
This picks up where book two left off with Wyatt and Callie up at the cabin, Mia and Cullen in DC with Orrin and Yuri, trying to track down the Russian Scientist and Mel and Owen at the ranch.
There's a lot going on in this book, it ties up some loose ends but leaves a couple dangling for the next book, which I can't wait to read.

This story involves us further into what's going on with the Saints group, who is on whose side, Callie's dirt ball family who have been warned to stay away by none other than Wyatt (yep) and the appearance of her dirtbag cousin showing up in town which doesn't bode well for them. When it seems Wyatt and Callie may have some of their issues worked out, well... hey, it's Wyatt. Callie is big into denial throws up walls as fast as he does. There's just all kinds of crazy going on in this book, and yet I read it in one sitting because it was a page turner. The few love scenes we get of Wyatt and Callie were well done. I say few. The one and then the kiss. Nonetheless is was well done. I honestly didn't see them ending bridges because Wyatt is such an ass. There are some great moments in this book as well and again I am going to patiently await for the next book.

Well done Donna!! I loved it!!!

**arc from NetGalley and Publisher in exchange for a fair review**

It's clear from the first few pages that 'The Legend' doesn't function well as a standalone and because I've not read the first book and went through the second quickly, this third one left me all at sea as I struggled to keep up.

As far as I could gather, there is a bioweapon at large, a sinister group of powerful people all over the world infiltrating important government positions, and some crime family descending on a ranch to wipe out a ranching family that also happens to do black ops. And as exciting as the action could get at times, a lot of it feels very unfinished as well by the very end. It's the end of a battle though not the end of a war as it gets increasingly clear, as the bad guy is diminished but goes free.

By and large, catching up was a hugely difficult task, yet I pushed on because the drama between Wyatt and Callie was compelling enough for me to want to know what really happened between them in this second-chance romance. Yet Donna Grant does balance the action with some character development though, so apart from my incredulity of a ranching family getting hunted meticulously by several groups, it was easy enough to suspend my disbelief as Wyatt and Callie raced through Texas trying to save each other.

I loved Callie's strength and determination, though wished she'd had enough gumption to turn Wyatt away when he clearly hadn't done enough to deserve her, at least not the way he left her with deliberate words meant to scythe and hurt. That it'd taken 15 years and serious injuries before realising that his wanting to protect her from a distance was an argument never held water to begin with, it always felt as though Wyatt had a foot out the door, never being determined enough to stay for Callie despite the pages of self-recrimination that he seemed to undergo. It had to take Callie putting herself out there at every turn, right up to an obstinate declaration of love to change his mind, which was quite the last straw for me.

Frankly, I'm not quite too sure yet what to make of this book. Beyond the rather hasty, teaser-like wrap-up and the trail of destruction left behind, is this one of those endings where the couple in question finally gets together, but stare into the distance wistfully just as they prepare for war?

I am in love with this series. Fast paced, action packed novel that I couldn't put down! I am in dire need of the next book. Can't wait!

This book was decent but it fell a bit flat towards the end but still an enjoyable read!

It took me awhile​ to get into the book. I've not read the others on the series so it was hard to follow at first. The characters weren't very well developed. The action was in spurts and too many unanswered questions remain. If the intention was a story for each brother in the family we need more development of their backstory. These aren't intended to be stand alone books based on how everything tied together.
I'm usually a big fan of the suspense/romance alpha man strong female, but I just couldn't get into this one.

I didn't connect to the characters. Having said that, I thought the author had a great story to tell and I think reading the work in its entirety as a series would have probably impacted my reading experience much more favorably. I think I will seek out the rest of the series and other work by this author.

**I received a copy of the book from St. Martin's Press and Net Galley in exchange for a voluntary and honest review**

The Legend is the third book in the Sons of Texas series however I agree with a previous reviewer you really need to have read the previous two so that you can understand the POV of this book. It does leave the ending open for not only the final battle but conclusion as well.

Wyatt Loughman has returned home to find his father Orrin but also to see if what he and Callie previously had is the forever love that his brothers have recently found. Callie Read was rescued by Orrin and Wyatt after being severely beaten when she refused to join her family of grifters. But when he arrives he realizes that he may need to convince her as well as he feels the same way and now he must prepare her for the battle yet to come. They'll need all hands on deck to fight not only The Saints but friends who now are against them and Callie's own crooked family members. It will take everything they all have when both of them are severely injured.

Callie Reed will do anything to find Orrin and she owes him and Wyatt her life as they saved her from her family after a severe beating. She has become a world famous hacker. They will need her skills when encrypted messages start to arrive from Orrin. But it's time to tell Wyatt how she really feels but they will have to go on the run from the Saints not knowing who to trust. Can they reach safety in time? There is a boatload of suspense and adventure with both Callie and Wyatt will be injured along the way. The ending will hint of who and what is to come for the next book, I'd give the book a solid four stars.

I'd give this addition a solid four stars for its action packed and suspense filled story.

I’ve read some of the reviews of this book and I’m in the minority here. I had trouble finishing this book. Perhaps because it’s the third in a series and I was not familiar with several characters. Or perhaps because there were so many things happening and some of them were unrealistic.
I usually love a wounded hero and I liked some dimensions in Wyatt, a deeply tortured soul.
I also liked the heat between Wyatt and Callie (the heroine), the strong if troubled familial relationships and the emerging romance between the older couple (Orrin/Kate).
As for the hero’s Alpha persona, something I usually like too, I thought his depiction as the tough, almost invincible Delta Force colonel was often far-fetched (I didn’t like his Rambo-like dimension at all, I found it detestable).
He (and the other characters, particularly the heroine) took himself so seriously when I was just rolling my eyes with such over-the-top and clichéd descriptions: “He was the master of decadence and hedonism, as if he’d been schooled by the gods on how to bring her to unimaginable heights” (loc. 1541); “magnificent male specimen”; his body often described as a “lethal weapon”.
The heroine, Callie, an operative herself, swooning over him, for example when she was severely wounded, was a bit ridiculous (which is somewhat excusable because Wyatt often went a bit sentimental over her too).
On the other hand, there’s so much going on besides the romantic storyline and that’s not the type of book that I usually like. The evil international organization Saints, the Russian scientist (why would he be needing help to defect after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the Soviet Union?) and his bioweapon, the terrorist chasing Wyatt, the conflicts in both MC’s families…
There’s also the usual tendency in this type of fiction for characters (males included) having conversations about emotions and feelings in the midst of dangerous situations.
And then there’s so much violence, killings, weapons and shootings… like it were normal or sometimes like an action TV series. Not for me when I’m reading a romantic suspense book.
But what didn’t work for me might be enjoyable for other readers.

A story that will keep you on the edge of your chair.

Donna Grant is an amazing author and I love all her books. She is an author you can't go wrong just read all her work!

Action packed! Romance was on the back burner throughout the story, but I figured that going in, as they were both being stubborn and lying to themselves.

This evil secret agency thing is interesting. Hopefully we get a couple more books.

Excellent read

What a fantastic story. Ms. Grant has outdone herself. Loved the story.

Loved this book! Very fast paced romantic suspense with a kick ass heroine who is sexy, smart, and competent. Callie is a talented computer hacker that uses her skills against the elusive Saints. She's also very well trained in hand to hand combat and weapons.

Callie's forced to partner with Wyatt, a Delta Force operator/commander and the man who broke her heart when they were young. They're fighting a very powerful shadow organization that spans several continents (The Saints).. As they're fighting for their lives, they're also fighting their attraction to each other. What follows is a thriller that kept me turning pages just as quickly as possible. I particularly enjoyed a reading about a female character that was every bit as strong as the male.

This book is what I wanted. Plain and simple. I always prefer the books about the strong and silent ones because their reasoning is always the most intense or heartbreaking so all you want to do is root for them.

Wyatt and Callie had a history, a history that Wyatt will not let anyone intrude on. So when it came down to pairing up, naturally he made sure Callie was with him. No one could protect her better and he knows it. He just didn't expect 'extras' to be coming at them other than the Saints.

Callie is from a family of criminals who she is desperate to stay away from. She refuses to be brought into their fold so she has made it clear that her allegiance is with the Loughman's and not her own blood. Orrin is extremely important to her so it kills her seeing the hated that Wyatt harbors for him because she cares for them both.

Everything is closing in on them and they all need to be prepared to do what they have to. Including pulling others into the fold even when they don't want to. Suspicions are high and there is some serious mistrust going on.

There's definitely a different tone in this book. Lives are taken and there are no regrets; injuries occur but nothing would hurt more than losing and unleashing Ragnarok. There is more going on than meets the eye and who knows how truly deep this goes.

I just love this series! There is so much more to the story than a long lost romance. I love the intrigue, action and drama and especially like the fight scenes. There are times I get in a rut reading and it feels like it's all the same scenario. When I saw this book land on my Kindle I knew I was in for a treat. Donna Grant's writing is always flawless and has me at the edge of my seat.

I loved Callie and her struggles with family and finding a home on the Loughman ranch. It's really ironic that the Loughman son's fled the ranch and felt no sense of family and then you had Mia and Callie finding a home there. So glad this story brings Wyatt HOME. I love his hard exterior yet you know what a fierce, loyal protector and friend he is and better yet man he is for Callie.

I was thinking this book would be the end of this series and would wrap up the Saints and Ragnarok, but NOPE! Donna Grant had an ace up her sleeve and I hope it includes a story with more of Orrin and Kate's lives.

Can't Wait!!
