To Marry a Texas Outlaw by Linda Broday

 (Men of Legend #3)


Whew! What a story! Good thing Linda Broday didn't struggle to find words for her story the same way I'm attempting to find words to express just how much I love not only this book, but this entire series as a whole. To Marry a Texas Outlaw is a thrilling conclusion to a delightful and much-loved story of the Legend family that delivered so many emotions.

Josie and Luke are simply perfect for each other! From the moment Luke encounters Josie the sparks and laughter and disgruntlements abound. As Sierra and Lara before her, I was able to connect with Josie and feel her struggles as she's also falling for Luke. But that girl -- she's somethin' alright -- and that something had me laughing and knowing that in real life, I'd want to be her best friend, just to see what she comes up with next and soak up every bit of life with her! Luke unquestionably has his hands full with his vulnerable spit-fire of a woman. And Luke? Oh that man! He can steal me away with him anytime! He's got such love and loyalty and honor that lives deep within that he has no problem pouring out on those around him but yet struggles to see within and accept for himself. Everyone can see it -- but stink he's a hard-headed man! Luke may have been an outlaw, however that wasn't who he really was - and watching him fully understand that was a remarkable journey.

The twists and crimes to solve kept me entertained and guessing. The secondary characters melted my heart as they also provided some wisdom and comic relief at the most ideal of times. And getting to catch up with the entire Legend crew -- LOVED it! Stoker, Sam, Houston and the rest truly lived out FAMILY.

This trilogy, while definitely all are standalone books, reads almost better as one big epic story and you just don't want to miss a single moment of any of it.
