All the Kavanagh Brothers in this series are my favorites but Quinn Kavanagh just stole my heart. He was really prefect, soulful and caring.

I Loved this book and always want to continue reading the series and about all the brothers.

This series has been a favorite of mine for sure! I love the MMA thing, and I have been waiting for Quinn's story! Kiera and Quinn's story is a second chance love story and I adore that trope for sure. But, they are both different now; Quinn is recovering from an accident and Kiera is finishing up her residency. They are older and wiser. I appreciated how well developed the characters were! This story is as much about them as individuals as it is a story of their romance. Charming, heartwarming, and, at times, heartbreaking, Chasing a Legend was a perfect way to wrap up the series!

This is the 4th book in this awesome series, and is Quinn and Kiera’s story. Quinn has always been the manager / agent for his brother’s MMA fights, and when he is seriously injured in a motorcycle accident, Kiera his one and only love enters back into his life. This story is filled with drama, and is a heartfelt romance.
Sarah has written a beautiful story, which has me hooked and intrigued from the very beginning. I am in awe of this author’s talent and in the way she spins a storyline. Looking forward to reading more from this author in the future, and I highly recommend her work for all romance readers.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book!

A second chance twice two….

Quinn was an artist at heart but when his family needed him, he put aside his own ambitions. His family was everything. He loved his parents, his brothers, and would do whatever it took to make sure they were okay. When he is the one who suddenly needed help his family was there for him. As well as Kiera.

Kiera and Quinn were friends their whole lives – a bond that seemed unbreakable. When their relationship took a step further, suddenly they were not even talking. Not on the same page, Quinn was left heartbroken... When they came together, his recovery their mutual goal, they had a chance to mend fences and they did. Quietly, passionately, all done under the radar of his watchful, yet hopeful family.

While their falling out was sorted out, with a few more bumps to overcome, I was still left with questions even as I thrilled in the newfound love and closeness they found. I loved this second chance romance that allowed me to catch up on the Kavanagh family (I was reminded again how much I love Quinn’s mother) as well as see Quinn’s heart healed.

I enjoyed this book and was sad that the series ended. this book as well as the whole series is outstanding. This book made me laugh and cry. I would give it 10 stars if possible.

We are back with the Kavanagh brothers and while I was waiting for this book for a long time I found myself not really giving it my all attention, I think I was expecting a different story than what I got, having said that I enjoyed the book considering how much I enjoyed reading the other books in this series.

This book was a really good even though I had to go back and read the ones before this one. I did enjoy the characters and how they meant to each other. I did like this one the best because it does show the long awaited romance to brew over time.

I voluntarily read an advanced reviewers copy of this book

This book was different than the others because Quinn Kavanagh was different. I expected another muscle bound guy who was upset about losing his glory for some reason or another like the other brothers but that was definitely not his issue. While the brothers all feared failure or disappointing their parents ... Quinn was so afraid that he fell in line with what others wanted instead of living his dream.

Luckily Kiera Finley was there to show Quinn that its ok to show your feelings and reveal who you really are.

Overall this book was good. I loved the emotion and vulnerability seen in both characters, it made them more realistic and relatable.

This is the fourth book in the series but can be read as a standalone. I haven't read the first 3 books & I had no problem following the story or figuring out the characters, though I wish I had read the other books as the Kavanaghs sound like a family I would like to know.

I very much enjoyed Quinn & Keira's story & I wouldn't hesitate to read more from this author

I really struggled with this book after months of starting and stopping I realised that I hadn't read any of the previous family stories.
It wasn't my cup of tea I'm afraid, but the writing was good, story solid, and will definitely suit someones taste.

Well, Sarah Robinson has proved that I can enjoy a book without a whole lot angst or drama in the main plot line. Chasing a Legend is a very sweet and easy read that had me smiling most of the time (except for the part with the dog and my animal loving heart was crushed).

I learned about Sarah when I read her book, Nudes, and immediately loved her writing style. While the Kavanagh series is a complete opposite of Nudes in genre, her writing style is just a strong and intriguing.

Sarah really knows how to get you vested in these characters and keep you glued to the story from start to finish. It's been awhile since I have enjoyed a book where there wasn't a whole lot of drama or angst involved that kept my attention. But Sarah proved that with great writing and strong characters, you can keep a reader interested.

Chasing A Legend is Quinn Kavanagh's story. He's always been the man behind the scenes at his family's MMA gym. He's the manager and agent for not just his brother, but many other talented MMA fighters and put his family's gym back on the radar. But he's got secret passion that no-one even knows about it. He doesn't see it as anything other than a hobby. Until his accident.

Kiera Finley grew up with the Kavanaghs and she was closet to Quinn. Quinn was always there to get her out trouble and step in when need be. Six years ago, before she left for college, she gave herself over to Quinn. What she hadn't realized was how that one night caused unexpected lines to be drawn in their friendship.

Quinn is starting PT as part of his recovery from his accident and Kiera is his new doctor. Neither expected to ever see the other again, especially in these circumstances. Now that everything is out in the open, Kiera is determined to heal more than his physical pains. And that is all I am giving you!!

If you really enjoy HEA books, this is one you have to read. I cried, laughed and cheered these two on. I love Quinn's family (so much so that I am going back and reading the previous books). It's such a sweet and heartfelt read that will leave you with a smile on your face.

Quinn Kavanaugh has been successfully managing his brother’s MMA career while also quietly sculpting. After a near-fatal motorcycle accident, his whole life changes, including running into his old friend and only woman to crush his heart, Kiera. Kiera is finishing up her doctorate as a physical therapist and is back in her hometown. What she doesn’t expect it to find her old best friend as one of her patients.
This was an ok book. I really liked getting to know Quinn and learning why Kiera was the way she was. I started having problems shortly after Quinn and Kiera get reunited. I found Quinn’s changing feelings about Kiera a bit annoying and felt the attraction pick back up a bit too quick for me.

Having read a couple of them from this series I was all up in these brothers. This is also one loving interesting family that shows the meaning of family. Quinn whom you will see have a tragic accident will also have that bring back in his life Kiera who now will have his care. This is you guessed it a second chance ones like these I love to read. Let's face most people are screwing up lots of things but when love offers that second chance grab it with both hands. In this case we see them grabbing but with fear in the background that needs to be laid to rest. They are both wonderful to read and this relationship builds with things coming out one by one. You also find out what really makes Quinn tick other than Kiera. All around dynamic romance read with the characters giving their all.

Honestly, this series should have been called Second Chance Kavanaghs because, whether it is life or love, that’s what seems to befall every brother. In the case of Chasing a Legend, for Quinn, the second chances just keep coming. As a manager and agent for his family’s gym, Quinn looks like he’s got it all. Okay, no one knows about his secret passion but for the most part, he’s happy. Everything changes when he has a near-fatal motorcycle accident. He’s struggling to walk again and who is his therapist but his childhood love. Things are about to get interesting!

Talk about a second chance romance! Life, love, career all of it is in store for Quinn! Let me backtrack a bit. Quinn and Keira. They were besties when they were young and had a one-night fling. Boom! Quinn is in love, except Keira didn’t do it for the reasons he expected and it broke his heart when she leaves. Now she’s back as his therapist, helping him to walk again. Awkward! As this is a second chance romance you can guess they have issues to work through, which is a mix of ‘you’re kidding me’ to ‘OMG yes!’ moments. Quinn is easy to fall in love with and Keira, as much as I liked her, she did have her annoying moments. Their story is sweet at times as well as funny. And as to be expected some delicious heat.

Now, what would a Kavanagh story be without the whole clan joining in? That alone is probably my favorite part of the series. They’re big, loud and boisterous but the love they have one another is unshakable and unmistakable. They still manage to surprise me and their antics do get me laughing. Every new entry into this series has me falling in love with them even more. I know a few people have mentioned that the books in this series can be read as stand-alones, and I can see that it is possible. However, I would read them all if only to get to know all of the Kavanaghs. They are so worth it.

A note about Ace: WAAAAAH!!!! Just rip my heart out why don't ya! I need more tissues.

Once again Sarah Robinson has delivered another great book. This is one series I always count the days until the next release. Chasing a Legend is the perfect read for second chance romance fans.

This was a really great book to read

I have loved this series from the very beginning and I get so excited when they release. I keep saying I look forward to the next book because that is the one I want to read, but the honest truth is I want them ALL! Each one has been so amazing. I am so attached to this family. Quinn's story was just as amazing and I need to say my favorite thing about his book was that it wasn't filled with drama. He had his own problems and issues he had to deal with don't get me wrong. It wouldn't be a Kavanagh book without them. This family is crazy! But Quinn and Kiera had a fun and loving relationship with a couple hiccups that they needed to work on. It was a nice change from the previous tension and drama filled books that I adored. Be prepared with some tissues as this one has some scenes that will cause some tears if you have followed the series.. and maybe even if you hadn't.

This author has written this book, this series really, so well that each book is its own story so that it is a complete stand alone and can stand on its own. But once you meet one Kavanagh you don't want to miss out on the others. Chasing a Legend gives teasers on possible next books and I fervently hope we get them. I don't want to see them go just yet. I very highly recommend this fun and extremely sexy read to all who enjoy hot Irish alpha men and strong women who know how to tame them.

Chasing a Legend is a sexy, sweet, emotional friends-to enemies-to-lovers romance. I haven't read any of the other books in this series, so I had no expectations going into it, but I was very pleased to find I really liked it. Quinn is one of a number of Kavanagh siblings. He's a motorcycle riding, tattooed hunk who manages his brother's career. At least, he does until a devastating motorcycle accident derails his life. When he comes face to face with his new Physical Therapist, and it's his once-life-long friend, Kiera, he's not open to her nor to reinstating their friendship. The friendship she severed when, after a sexy, emotionally intimate night in his bed when they were younger, she took off without a word. Kiera doesn't understand, has never understood, what she did wrong and why Quinn has never been there when she's visited home over the 6 years since she left. But, now that she's on board as his new PT, she intends on finding out just why he seems to hate her and to figure out how to get their friendship back on track.

Quinn, oh Quinn...damn, that man is so sweet and sexy and swoonworthy. He's so different, apparently, than his siblings, and has a secret passion for creating beautiful things in his sculpting studio. He's more sensitive than his rough and tumble brothers, he never had a career in the ring, he's not a cop, no, he's a sensitive, beautiful artist, but in secret. As he and Kiera start spending time together, it was inevitable that the same attraction would explode between them. It did, and it was beautiful and of course I had my hopes it would all work out. But, of course, true love is never without its bumps and Quinn and Kiera had their fair share of bumps, the most significant (after getting her defection out of the way) is that she's not planning on sticking around after her residency is up. How can the two possibly make a long distance relationship work? Quinn can't leave his family and go with her, can he? Of course not...and Kiera cannot give up her career just for a man. No, she has to take her mother's lessons to heart and become independent and make her career her priority. A relationship cannot possibly be more important than her career, can it?

As much as I loved Quinn and his whole wild and loving family, I just could not connect with Kiera, and she's the only reason I couldn't give this a 5 star review. She irritated me endlessly. She was indecisive, whiny and quite frankly, a diva sometimes. That she couldn't understand what she had done to Quinn in the very beginning was ridiculous, and it set the tone for my perception of her. But, aside from the fact that the heroine irritated me, I loved every other aspect of Chasing a Legend. The Kavanagh clan has a huge fan in me now and I am looking forward to more.
