OMG! ‘Arizona Vengeance’ getting better and better with each book. and amazing part is you get a chance to see characters from previous books and get a chance to see how they are doing. This book has so many things I enjoy in romance books; hockey + enemies-to-lovers + hot single dad = Ohhh, dear ovaries, be still…
Legend Bay is the hottest goalie in the league, other than being a great player; he is loyal, sweet, sexy alpha male with a little bit of a neat freak :) After moving into his new house, his neighbor starts getting his nerves with her eccentric taste in garden ornaments. Pepper Nantais is definition of social butterfly. She is a gorgeous, sweet and fierce woman, who is a famous children books author. Ohh and her newest hobby is to drive her hot hockey player neighbor mad :) Their story starts with a life-changing event for Legend. One night he comes home and finds a pink bundle on his front porch. Finding a baby on his front porch is a shock but what is really unexpected is when Legend runs to Pepper’s door for help. After the initial shock of finding out about being a dad, Legends steps right into his role as a father. He is so sweet and king, he is simply amazing. He also has an amazing support from Pepper. She tries to be there for him whenever he needs her. Also, chemistry between them is sizzling and they just seem right for each other. Everything is finally settling down and going great so what happens when the heartless women, who left her 14-day-old daughter on a front porch, comes back and wants her baby, back? Curious? You have to grab your copy and start reading :)

Legend is captivating, heartwarming, sexy, enemies-to-lovers story that you won’t be able to put it down. So next book in the series is Dax, which will be released on July 9, 2019 and then finally my mostly anticipated book in the series Tacker will be released on November 5, 2019. With each book, I am dying to know what the hell happened to Tacker more and more. I CANNOT wait to get my hands on his story.

Would I recommend this book: Yes.
Would I re-read this book: Been there done that :).
Would I read future books by this author: Yes.

This is the 3rd book in the Arizona Vengeance series, however, I think that this book can comfortably be read on a stand alone basis.

I’ve been really looking forward to Legend and Pepper and I have to say I was not disappointed. It was a really addictive read and one that I absolutely devuoured. It flowed really well and I felt that the story was really well developed. There was drama and a little angst but there was plenty of light relief and boy the chemistry between Legend and Pepper was electric which led to some pretty steamy sexy times.

Overall this was a really enjoyable read and one I would be happy to recommend.

I was provided with a copy of this book from the Publisher via NetGalley; there was no inducement or obligation and I opted to leave a review.

This is the third book in the Arizona Vengeance series and everyone needs to read this book because it is so hot in Arizona with Legend and Pepper that it would warm up this very cold winter going on around parts of the US.
When Legend gets home one night and finds a package on his front porch, he automatically thinks it's his quirky neighbor Pepper playing some kind of joke on him. But when he goes after Pepper and they confront the package, they are both stunned at what they find.
As they try to figure out what is going on and what thy should do next, Legend is beginning to see that Pepper is more than a pretty face. She is so much more than he ever imagined and he is finding himself falling for her.
Pepper has been drawn to Legend since they became neighbors but he didn't like her quirky style and he seemed to hate her. But when he needed her help, she knew she would be there for him. As they grow closer, she finds herself falling in love with him.
Can Legend figure out who left the package on his front porch? And what does he do with the distraction of Pepper? Can Legend and Pepper make things work for a future together?
In the previous books we met Legend and Pepper a little and I could not wait for their story. And it was worth the wait. In the beginning of the series these two did nothing but argue about yard ornaments and in this story they learn that their is more to each other than skin deep looks. The depth of their connection is perfect and they are made for each other. I can't wait for more in this series, which will be Dax's story.
**I received a free copy of this book to read and review and this is my honest opinion**

Guys! I absolutely ADORED Legend, which honestly shouldn’t be a surprise. Sawyer Bennett is a go-to author for me when it comes to witty (and wicked) romance.

From first page to last, Legend was fun, heartfelt, and sexy with an edge-of-your-seat element. Legend and Pepper were immensely likable and their relationship one that built to a crescendo that made my heart race. And, once you factor in Legend’s Vengeance teammates (BRB crying for Tacker), you have a book that’s unputdownable.

Perfection!

This third book in the Arizona Vengeance series was all kinds of swoony, exhilarating, sexy fun! Legend and Pepper are opposites in every way. He is serious, needing rules and order, and Pepper is fun-loving, and free spirited. When something surprising happens to Legend, Pepper is there to help and support him without hesitation. They build a bond that neither saw coming. I really loved Legend and Pepper, they made a great team and their chemistry was smokin' hot! This story had some suspenseful plot twists that kept me totally engaged and guessing what would happen next. It also continues to follow the lives of several Vengeance teammates. We get to see how Bishop and Eric are doing after finding love. It also has some intriguing and heartbreaking scenes with Dax and Tacker, and I can't wait to read their stories! This is a fun, sexy and passionate story and I can't get enough of these sexy hockey players and the women who challenge and love them!

Oh boy - Sawyer Bennett scores again with Legend book 3 in her Arizona Vengeance hockey series.

Legend Bay is the number 1 goalie for the up and coming Arizona Vengeance hockey team. He believes in an orderly life off the ice so his neighbor Pepper Naintus drives him absolutely crazy with all the decorations she has outside her home that she insists on having all year round (pink flamingos drive him crazy). When a newborn baby is dropped on his doorstep he does the one thing he never expected - reaching out to Pepper for help. The more help she provides the more he realizes that maybe a little whimsy may not be a bad thing. That along with his daughter life becomes very interesting for Legend and then danger hits.

I have no idea how Ms Bennett does this book after book but each character is so different from the last ones and the stories are unique to those characters. Legend and Pepper's story is filled with romance, humor and some scary moments. What I really loved about Legends is that Ms Bennett doesnt shy away from going in deep and exploring mental illness with some of her characters and how those choices can damage you without help. So to say there is more to this story then just romance would be an understatement. We also get to see the other Vengeance characters a little bit more and the set up for the next few books is perfect and I for one cant wait. We also get a great cameo from some friends from the Cold Fury series which is always fun. That all being said this is definitely Legend and Peppers story and what a great story it is.

As the third book in the Arizona Vengeance series readers have come to embrace these sexy men of the hockey world, becoming fully invested in their HEAs, and Legend is a delightful addition to the series. In a tale that pulls at the heartstrings, while making you blush a time or two, readers will be charmed by the romance between two very different people who balance each other out beautifully. Add in a bit of suspense courtesy of outside forces battering the happy bubble surrounding this likable main couple and you end up with an entertaining read that has me ready for more of these characters to take center stage.

Next door neighbors Pepper Nantais and Legend Bay have been rubbing each other wrong since he moved in, their differences adding to the obvious sexual tension, but the moment he finds a surprise on his front porch he finds himself counting on her more and more. It’s not long before they’re giving into their palpable attraction in scorching, and endearing scenes, that shows them unexpectedly becoming a family. Throughout this series Legend has shown himself to be cool, calm, and collected. He likes order and is a bit of a stick-in-the-mud due to his childhood spent in the military, which is why his neighbor’s carefree way of life annoys him so much. While she annoys him though, he can also admit that he’s attracted to her and enjoys their sparring matches. The moment he discovers he’s a father is the moment everything changes for him and Pepper as she becomes vital in him learning the ropes of fatherhood and their working together shows them to be a formidable couple. I liked seeing a softer side to Legend as his scenes with his baby girl were endearing and brought a smile to my face. His scenes with Pepper were crackling from the moment they met and giving into their desires led to scorching interludes that had me blushing as readers saw Legend losing his usual control whenever he was with her. Action-packed scenes on the ice were a nice addition to the external forces of chaos caused by a frustrating birth mother and issues surrounding other members of the team that led to a richly rewarding HEA for him and Pepper.

Pepper’s an immensely appealing heroine, a breath of fresh air to Legend’s ordered life. She makes no excuses for her over-the-top decorations, her outgoing nature, or her enjoyment in poking at Legend’s control. Her carefree attitude fuels her crackling connection to him and makes their instant indulgence all the more believable. Behind her Bohemian nature lies a kind heart, an openness to make things better for others, and it’s what binds her to Legend as he undertakes his new role of father. She easily rolls with every change thrown her way, never feeling cheated by what befell her in the past, and her easygoing nature made me like her all the more. She’s the perfect balance to Legend, helping him take time to smell the roses, and get a little dirty in their erotically-charged journey to HEA.

This was a sweet and sexy read featuring a delightful main couple whose romance made me chuckle as well as blush a time or two. These two opposites are crackling together, in perfect sync despite their differences, making each other better through their mutual support of each other. His unexpected fatherhood was the driving force in Legend and Pepper getting together and it was heartwarming to see what baby Charlie brought out in them. Alongside their easygoing romance were a few bumps in the road that felt unnecessary as I was enjoying the sensual haze of their romance and felt that these outside forces were a distraction. Surrounding this entertaining main couple was the other members of the Arizona Vengeance, some whose stories have already been told and some whose stories I’m clamoring to read. Though this story’s focus is mostly about Legend’s personal growth, there’s some exciting action on the ice that shows this team working together as the tight knit brotherhood we’ve seen forming throughout this series. Among the players I’m most intrigued by are Dax, a friend to Pepper who’s got issues of his own in this story, along with Tacker who’s still dealing with the loss of a past love. Tacker’s clearly hurting and I long to see him finally find some happiness in a story that promises to be emotionally intense. On a whole this was another enjoyable addition to Ms. Bennett’s entertaining hockey series that I recommend to readers looking for an unforgettable main couple in a journey to HEA that’s been a long time coming.

I love a good enemies-to-lovers story so I was super excited to start this one once it landed on my Kindle. Legend and Pepper had a neighbor feud that started the moment Pepper moved in and disrupted Legend's neat and tidy life. But when Legend's life gets turned upside down yet again, Pepper is the only one he thinks of to ask for help. And from there he starts to realize that she may be quirky, but that he actually likes that about her.

This book was intriguing from start to finish and I loved that it was able to suck me in like it did. I became so invested in these characters and I was rooting for them form the beginning. Pepper was just such a different woman than Legend was used to and getting to see how those differences led to an attraction was really fun. I thought they made a great couple and I couldn't have picked a better heroine for Legend.

There was also some drama thrown in from a secondary character that I thought was a really good addition. It wasn't overly dramatic or out of place, but instead added an interesting story line that grabbed my attention. Overall, there was just so much happening in this story that worked together really well and I think it will have any reader captivated.

Legend is the successful and sexy goalie for the Arizona Vengeance. The only blip that he has in his life is his eccentric neighbor Pepper who has turned her ability to aggravate him into an art but that is all about to chance when he finds a little bundle of joy left on his porch.

Pepper has hidden her attraction for Legend under her talent for getting under his skin. She knows that he will never see her as more than an annoyance but when he turns up at her door looking for help with a baby her heart melts and she can’t turn him away.

As they spend time together, he realizes that there is much more to his bohemian free spirited neighbor than he first thought and she sees that underneath his gruff exterior is a man with a big heart. When his past resurfaces, they must decide if what they have is forever or a fling.

This is a fun and flirty enemies to loves story between two opposites who realize they couldn’t be more perfect together. It was great to catch up with other team members and I am looking forward to the next book in the series. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

*4.5 stars*

And he is the Legend!

I love this author’s hockey heroes and Legend, well, he easily went to the top of list! He was at the top of his game on the ice even if his neighbor, Pepper, drove him mad with her antics. When his life took a sudden turn, he was surprised how she soon animosity changed…

They say opposites attract and that is exactly what happened when these two clashed over pink flamingoes and a, seemingly, very different approach to life. What’s on the surface quickly didn’t matter though when Legend faced a life-altering crisis and Pepper was there to hold his hand, offer sage advice and simply be there for him. And Legend did what he did best. He rolled with the punches and, despite every curveball, was sweet, supportive, sexy goodness. He is what book boyfriends are all about! Deliciously so… Heat, drama and family filled this one-sitting read and I loved every page of it! Oh and though Piper completely deserved him, I’m sure she won’t mind that he’s mine too!

The boys of Arizona Vengeance are back and better than ever!! Legend’s story is the one i have been waiting for since the beginning of this series. I loved the relationship between him and Pepper is off the charts. They compliment one another so well and give one another the balance they need. I also love the secondary stories that Sawyer has placed in this book for Dax and Tacker. I have always been a Cold Fury fan, but this book has definitely made a space for the boys of Vengeance.

Legend just found out he is a father and that he is responsible for his little girl now all in one night. He can’t believe that this is happening and when he finds the little girl on his porch he runs to the one person who would least expect it, Pepper.

Pepper is thrilled that Legend has come to her for help with his new little girl, but knows he needs a friend and a support system to help him through this change in his life. What she isn’t expecting is to fall into bed with him and actually begin to have a real relationship with him. They have fought with one another since they have lived next to one another but now they can’t seem to be without one another.

As Pepper and Legend begin to fall into a routine, there world is shaken by Charlie’s mom deciding she wants Charlie back and will do want she needs to make it happen. Will Pepper and Legend be able to hold onto their new relationship and little girl? Or will Charlie’s mom stop their chance at happiness?

4 Stars

I say this every time I read a Sawyer Bennett book - I can't get enough! And Legend is just another one that consumed me.

We met Legend Bay at his many parties at his home in the last couple of books and his quirky neighbor Pepper Nantais. Legend and Pepper is the true definition of opposites attract. Their banter is cute and fun. And their chemistry is hot!

Legend's life changes in a quick second, when a little bundle is dropped off on his porch and who does he turn to for help is neighbor, Pepper! Their dynamic relationship is hilarious, sexy and sweet. As Pepper helps Legend navigate and balance his new life, they develop more than a neighborly friendship. Even with her all her quirkiness, Pepper grounds Legend.

Patiently waiting for Tucker's book, but will take Dax next!

Hot hockey player, quirky next door neighbor, and a newborn baby. What can go wrong! This was a signature Sayer Bennett book which always has more depth than it seems. Legend is the hockey player, and a truly good guy, albeit, a little straight laced. He gives off no “bad boy” vibes at all. However, he comes home to find a baby on his front porch. Pepper is a children’s book author and his next door neighbor. Their romance seemed almost straightforward to me, but the real issue in the book was the postpartum depression of the birth mom and how it affected all the relationships involved. There were familiar characters from previous books who i enjoyed catching up with. As I have said before, Sawyer Bennett always gives us a good story, and this one is no different.

I loved this series and when Legend and Pepper clashed in the last book I knew their story would be fun to read. My expectations were blown out the water. When Legend finds a bundle of pink on his porch step he freaks out and calls on his neighbor Pepper for help. She steps right up and helps him figure things out. BTW Legend is a natural at being a Dad. I loved that the relationship between this couple had very little angst and the relationship grew naturally. Now the Mother of the baby was another story and I kept waiting to see what she would do next. She was determine to get her baby back. This book can be read as a standalone, but why would you. Awesome series.

I have been enjoying this new series by Sawyer Bennett, Arizona Vengeance is following a new expansion hockey team which means we get to know each of the men as they get to know one another. If you have read the Cold Fury Hockey Series you'll enjoy the little peak of Ryker and Gray that we get in this story. Legend is an enemy to lovers story that has a surprise baby twist right at the start.

Legend really dislikes his neighbor Pepper as we have learned in prior books, it her over the top lawn decorations that really grates on his nerves, pink flamingos anyone??? But it's more than that, he just can't wrap his head around the fact that she's so quirky almost whimsical...I wouldn't call her flighty at all because she's not but she's definitely not the straight laced neighbor he wished she was, I think this has a lot to do with his childhood which we do learn about in this book.

Pepper may be everything Legend disliked but when he needed her help he was grateful that she didn't turn him away. Can you imagine coming home from work one night and finding a baby on your doorstep? Well, that is exactly what happened with Legend! I have to admit he handled things with a lot more grace than most men I know would.

While Legend adjust to being a single father Pepper helps him out when he requests and through all of this they grow closer. I have always believed in the saying "There's a fine line between love and hate" well lets just say that it was pretty easy to see that they were going to cross that line because they were great together.

The chemistry was amazing and the sexy times were a plenty but that wasn't all that was going on here. We have baby Charlie's mom to deal with, Dax's story was set up and it was done so with some tears shed, and lets not forget about my most anticipated story Tacker's OMG so much happened with him in this book my heart just kept breaking over and over again. I NEED TACKER'S STORY NOW!!! But I know I have to wait until after Dax's to get it....probably by the end of the year.

This story as well as the series is easy to recommend to lovers of contemporary romance and sports romance. If you are a lover of enemies-to-lovers or single dad stories I recommend you grabbing a copy of this book, you wont be disappointed. Happy Reading!!!

It seems like each story in this series just keeps getting better!

Legend Bay is the goalie for the Arizona Vengeance. Growing up in a military family, he is used to a structured existence and can be a little bit of a stick in the mud at times. Pepper Nantais is Legend's opposite in pretty much every way. An author and illustrator of a successful line of children's books, Pepper is colorful, creative and fun-loving. Over the past few months she has enjoyed poking at Legend's uptight attitude in every way she can, especially with her yard decorations. When Legend arrives home one night to find an unexpected package on his front doorstep, he doesn't think twice about bolting to Pepper's house in search of help though.

He is hit by a maelstrom of emotions ranging from anger to fear to helplessness, but the neighbor he thought he seriously disliked turns into the calm, soft spoken rock that he needs as he comes to grips with how epically his life was just turned upside down. I have to say, I absolutely loved the way he embraced it though which demonstrated what an awesome guy Legend truly is. That character also comes through in the concern he has for his teammates, especially Tacker. Oh my goodness, Tacker nearly broke my heart in this story and I can't wait to see what sort of amazing woman Sawyer brings into his life to heal him! But back to Legend and Pepper...

She is exactly the person he never knew he needed in his life, and once he starts to actually talk to her, he finds they complement each other perfectly. What starts off as friendship with some very hot benefits quickly turns into something much more. Despite the fact they go from a somewhat adversarial relationship to real love in a short time, it didn't feel like insta-love to me. Perhaps it is because the stage was set for the sizzling chemistry between them in the snippets shown in past books, but their journey and relationship evolution just felt right.

Legend is a well paced story filled with laughter, love, and heat as well as a few suspenseful/ dramatic moments. It is certainly my favorite of the series and one of my favorite books I have read in the last 6 months. I wish I could elaborate more without spoilers but I can't so I will just say buy this book!! If you are not a sports fan, you will still love it because the focus is primarily on the relationship, not the sport.

Scores One To My Heart! What a charming, warm, sexy gem of a story that was filled with love and romance that delivered from the first page to the last. But the added excitement of suspense and danger took this story and adds so much more that I couldn’t put it down. One of the Best books I’ve read in a while. Definitely my favorite of this series.

Legend Bay is having the time of his life. The Arizona Vengeance is the hottest new team and he according to the sports media, is the hottest goalie, player ever. But when he returns from the gym, to find a pink bundle of joy on his door step. The first person he runs to for help is his hot as hell neighbor Pepper. As Pepper picks up and cradles this small baby girl in her arms, they see a note. A note that changes Legend’s whole world. He’s a Father!

I Loved Legend and Pepper’s Story! Pepper Nantais has had a crush on Legend since he moved into the neighborhood. So she has been antagonizing him, because he always took everything to seriously. She doesn’t think that he would ever be interested in someone like her. But now he needs her help with interviewing and hiring a nanny and getting everything that he needs for a baby. He also needs to know how to take care of a baby and Pepper gladly helps Legend with everything. But as these two former enemies spend more time together as well as with Charlotte Elise Bay, “Charlie” the baby, respect, friendship and strong feelings start to grow.

But this story is not all moonlight and roses, as the mother of the baby soon regrets her decision and her actions. Now she wants more than to see her baby she wants Legend as well and Pepper is in her way. What happens? Quite a bit. And you don’t want to miss it. The suspense had me on the edge of my seat and biting my nails.

Sawyer Bennett’s strength is in creating character who live, breathe and jump off the page at you. Original heartwarming stories full of sexual tension and emotional decisions will lead you to wanting to read her stories again and again. LOVED IT !

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

4.5 stars

Legend by Sawyer Bennett is such a good read.
The storyline is entertaining from start to end, it's well paced and I loved all the characters and the role they played to make this such a good read.

I loved Legend and Pepper together, I enjoyed their banter, they knew what buttons to press to get a reaction from the other and I loved how well they communicated and connected over Legend's circumstances.

Legend is a quick, sweet and heartwarming read and I highly recommend it.

Legend is an excellent addition to the Arizona Vengeance series, each book has been a joy to read and I'm excited to read Dax: An Arizona Vengeance Novel next.

*An ARC was provided in exchange for my honest thoughts.*

I’ve never been much of a hockey fan, mainly because we don’t have a hockey team in my city. But On My Hockey Sticks!!! Reading any of Sawyer Bennett’s hockey books make me want to start following hockey…ESPECIALLY if they are anything like the characters in her Cold Fury and Arizona Vengeance series!!! If you are looking for a hockey or any sports romance you can’t get much better than a Sawyer Bennett book!

Legend if the third book in the Arizona Vengeance. If you haven’t read the others, don’t worry. You don’t need to. All of the books are complete standalones with interconnected characters. Each book is its own player’s story. I don’t know what I was expecting with Legend’s story, but I got way more than I ever could’ve hoped for. Not only do you get a hot, sexy, and sweet hockey player that will make you swoon, but he’s also a single dad. Beware…your ovaries will explode!!! These characters are perfect for each other and you are rooting for both of them from the start.

This book will grab you from the very beginning and not stop until you are a pile of swoony, melty goo. It’s fast paced and will keep you engrossed. Don’t be surprised if you start this book and just can’t stop. Don’t even think about it…just go and get this book now. Not only get this book now but put it as your next book on your TBR list. You definitely need to read it.

I continue to love Ms. Bennett's hockey romances! Legend and Pepper's enemies to lovers romance was a great read. I swooned over Legend as he took his role as a father in stride and was so protective of his baby girl. I loved how Pepper just stepped in and helped him when he needed it. These two were a great couple. I loved getting the crossover scene with some Cold Fury characters. It was a great way to connect the two series!

There is insight as to what is coming for the next couple of books and I thought it was set up very well. Can't wait to continue on with this series!
