Publisher's summary

As one of the big names at his family's gym, Legends, MMA star Rory Kavanagh is used to being in the spotlight - until a gruesome leg injury knocks him out of the cage. Rory is left feeling sidelined in more ways than one, battling the inner demons that come with losing the one shot at his dreams. Then Clare walks into his life and gives him a new dream: winning her heart. There aren't many new faces in Woodlawn these days, but this tough, beautiful stranger makes Rory want to get his life back into fighting shape.

Clare Ivers doesn't think she'll be able to tell anyone what really brought her to the close-knit Bronx neighborhood where she just started bartending. But her life's on pause and her past is catching up fast, try as she might to move on - with new friends, steady work, and a chiseled alpha male trying to get her attention. Even though Rory's more than a little intense, she can't deny that her heart beats faster when he looks at her with those soulful silver eyes. Clare thought she was done with love, but Rory might just be man enough to show her she thought wrong.

Critic reviews

"Equal parts sexy, intense, and emotional, Breaking a Legend will suck you in from the very first page and refuse to let go until long after you've finished. It's one of my favorite MMA books to date." (Rachel Van Dyken, New York Times best-selling author)

Love MMA stories

This is my new Audible addiction. I have fallen in love with all of the Kavanagh's. The story was believable, the characters were amazing and the narrator did this book wonders. I look forward to listening too the other brother's stories.

Breaking into a New Series

Oh, the Kavanagh men. Even more delicious with the Irish accented narration. In this first book, we watch the first fall in love. With steady pacing, the author tells the story of a strong man falling for a good woman. Surrounded by a big, over-involved Irish Catholic family, the story is very charming.

Moving on to book two...

loved this book!

This book provided a much needed evening reprieve for me, all weekend. I liked the narrator a lot, and this is the first book I've read by the author. I've read a lot of sports romances, and I really liked the extra layer added by her dark past.

How I Found Sarah

I've read this book countless times over the years, I love the story so much.
I've of course read the entire series, but Rory and Claire have a special place in my heart.
I'm so glad I can now listen to their story when I don't have time to sit down and re-read.

I wasn't a huge fan of the narration, but I also consider myself a narration snob, so I blame myself for that part lol

Story was pretty cookie cutter, narration was UGH

I usually try not be harsh, but it was a struggle for me to finish this one. The narrator was awful. I literally could not get past it. Kind of ruined the whole book for me.

Story was okay, but very predictable. Had very little depth to it.
