Taming the Legend is the fourth full-length book and fifth and newest release in the London Legends series by the rugby romance writing wonder that is Kat Latham. I read all five of these books back to back to back to back to back and with each new book, I've found myself becoming increasingly attached to these athletic but hot blokes and the women who end up taming them. Ash Trenton was the living legend in the team and the story he shares with Mila Morales is one that highlights a first love could very well be the forever love one looks for but may need time and distance in order for everything to finally fall into place.
While I loved Ash from the very beginning, it took me a good while to even come close to liking Camila. I think it was a combination of how she wasn't exactly one hundred percent honest about what Ash was going to be facing as the camp's rugby coach and how she treated him even after he agreed to help out. I mean, the guy flew all the way to the U.S. and it was as if she wished he was back in England. But, after quite a few chapters, Camila finally grew on me and I could see that she was being abrasive and defensive in the beginning because she had already gotten her heart broken by Ash once and was afraid of a repeat.
Second chance romances can be tricky to pull off because it's rather difficult to believe that one or both of the lead characters have been pining away for the or each other all the years they were apart. In this book's case, both Ash and Mila went on with their lives and even though they do admit that they thought about one another, there were no immediate declarations of a love that still shone bright. There's a twist in the story that I figured out close to the point it was revealed, but it was such a creative twist that I wasn't expecting at the onset of the book. Taming the Legend was a great read and it gets 4.5 stars, rounded off to five stars for Goodreads. ♥
