Description
From New York Times bestselling author Meghan March comes a deliciously dangerous alpha hero in The Fall of Legend, the first book in the utterly addictive Legend trilogy.
We come from two different worlds.
I’m from the streets. She might as well live in an ivory tower.
I made my living with my fists. I doubt she could even throw a punch.
Our paths never should have crossed.
We never should have met.
That doesn’t change the facts.
I would sell my soul to taste those red lips.
Fight the devil himself to hear her laugh.
Burn in hell to have a single night.
Scarlett Priest shouldn’t even know men like me exist, but sometimes temptation is stronger than will.
If this is how I go down, it’ll be worth every second of the fall.
The Fall of Legend is the first book in the Legend Trilogy. Legend and Scarlett’s story continues in House of Scarlett and concludes in The Fight for Forever. All three books of the Legend Trilogy are available now!

Reviews
Smoking hot!
5By debischmieksLoved every aspect of this book right from the beginning. Gabriel’s fight for redemption at a new life, Scarlett wanting more out of her life and the passion that fills you to your toes from first site! Definitely can’t wait to have more of their story!!Grown-Up Lady and the Tramp 😍
5By werethemahonsMeghan March has long been a fave of mine simply because I adore how complex and well-written her characters and story lines are. It’s like literary tiramisu and you know this Southern gal’s got a sweet tooth the size of Texas 🍰😏 I read her Dirty Mafia duet back in early fall and fell head over heels in LOVE with Cannon Freeman. But, even as amazing as Cannon was, let’s talk about a teeny tiny blip on the DMD map. There was a quick mention of Gabriel Legend and as soon as he stepped onto the scene, I was immediately drawn to him. I’m talking moth-to-flame, Ross-to-Rachel, gravy-to-biscuit level attraction, y’all 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I knew Legend’s Trilogy was coming by the time I got my ARC for White Knight, so meeting him for the first time, even if just for a flicker of a moment, was a sign of great things to come. If I immediately adore the hero of a story, there’s a ridiculously high chance I’m going to love everything about his book and then some; this book did NOT disappoint on that front with our alpha. Truthfully, I’m just built to adore and be addicted to alphas. 💪 Maybe there’s a local Alphaholics Anonymous chapter around my area for this affliction? 👀 Shoot. Who am I kidding? I’d walk on by with a smile on my face and an alphalicious read front and center on my Kindle app 😏📚📱🤙 Addictions and attractions aside, this book…this book. GAH! M-Squared tapped into the weakness of ALL weaknesses for me: the underdog. Growing up, before my obsession with good-looking men and their cavemanish ways became a mainstay in life, my heart was forever forged to root for the romantic underdog: Will Turner with Elizabeth Swann Wesley with Buttercup Johnny with Baby Jack with Rose Christian with Satine Noah and Allie (FULL DISCLOSURE: I haven’t watched the entire movie yet, so please don’t stone me) and—flipping the script a bit—Elizabeth Bennet with Mr. Darcy These amazing love stories where the underdog fights so many prejudices (including his own crippling feelings of inadequacy) to prove he’s worthy of loving such an amazing girl are by and large my all-time favorites. Who wouldn’t love a man who would wade through the waters of despair and endure the flames of Hell just to be with you? *crickets chirping* That’s what I thought. I love a strong heroine, but broken heroes with a spirit that won’t quit are my favorite dose of heroin. Now, I realize I named several stories that didn’t have the happiest ending, which crushed my very soul when arriving at the end of the movie. And, admittedly, Cinderella ruined me for romance because I can’t imagine reading it without having an HEA at the end of the rainbow. Yet, it also taught me not to settle for anything less and to admire the human spirit and how faith, hope, and love can . Two great lessons, indeed. Speaking of Disney movies, I jokingly mentioned on one of MM’s Legend teaser posts that this was like Lady and the Tramp 2.0 (can anyone say Letty and the Tramp?), but after reading The Fall of Legend, I am 110% convinced that deep down, this is the grown-up retelling of the classic tale of tails. (PS If Meghan March is reading this: I believe a sketti-and-meatball rendezvous is needed within the trilogy—pretty please 😉😍😁) If you take away the ruff and fluff, you could even draw parallels with another of my faves: Aladdin. A scrappy man with a red-hatted sidekick, an iron will to escape the binds of his past and poverty, and a steely determination to win the heart of a princess who’s bored with the façade of her ivory-towered reality? Sound familiar? I rest my case, counselor. #TeamUnderdogForTheWin So… Now that I’ve nerded out fully over Disney and underdogs, let’s chat a spell about the reason we’re here: Gabriel Legend and Scarlett Priest. Scarlett Priest has a problem. A big one. A huge “I-woke-up-in-a-strange-place-wrapped-in-a-rug-with-The-Pretenders-serenading-me-through-earbuds-for-some-reason” problem. Being kidnapped is one thing, but to find out you’ve been laid at the feet of the notorious Gabriel Legend? Two scoops of trouble with a “HOLY CRAP!” cherry on top. Born to privilege and raised in wealth, our heroine is no stranger to the good life, but what if a good life is really only a good existence in disguise?

1By sue c tCouldn’t get past 50 pages. Poorly written to say the least.Wow
5By Ma 317Megan March did it again. The characters grip your heart. You feel their love and sorrow. It is a cliff hanger So onward to part two.I Want More!
5By Lnn20122This book had it all for me. A slow-burn romance, hot MMA fighter, and a woman breaking free of her chains and living. I couldn’t get enough of Legend and Scarlett. Their beginning was unconventional but fit them. There is a lot of layers to each character that needs to be revealed but knowing Meghan they will be revealed at the right time and it will be a punch in the gut leaving us all breathless. The heat between Legend and Scarlett burned up the pages. It was like a boiling pot of hotness. I couldn’t get enough of their growing relationship. I needed to know where it went. I cannot end this review without mentioning the side characters. They added so much to the story. Scarlett’s friends infused the story with humor and Legend’s added the intrigue. Can’t wait to continue reading this series.Special Characters and Plot
5By ewoynANDfaramirI absolutely loved diving into this book. Scarlett and Gabe are both characters who, despite their differences, have similar themes running through their lives. This is easily be my favorite trilogy from Meghan March. I can’t wait for books two and three to find out their story.Love
5By 120987I tried to wait for all 3 books but once I started I couldn’t put it down. I love Legend he has a softer side to him that makes him perfect for Scarlett. I hope that some of the other characters get their own story. I can’t wait till all the books come out. You did it again Meghan. ❤️❤️❤️🎉The best is yet to come...
3By Wookiee 453.5 stars for - Fall of Legend - book one in the Legend Trilogy by Meghan March. Book two - House of Scarlett will be out in December 2019 and book three - The Fight for Forever - will be out in January 2020. Scarlett Priest is the ultra successful daughter of a supermodel and a high-profile businessman who chose to forge her own path instead of following in either one of her parents footsteps and became a social media influencer and style icon. Scarlett opened her own store in New York where she excels at what she does having made a name for herself in the industry. Gabriel Legend grew up dirt poor in Biloxi, MS and fled shortly after hurricane Katrina. When he arrived in New York he used his fists and survival skills to make a living in the cage. He ran a underground fight club with dreams of going legit once he finally had enough money. Gabe opened a upscale, elite club that never had the chance to take off because of an incident that occurred on opening night. He needs a miracle and she just fell into his office in the most unexpected of ways. This book has so much potential and I seriously can't wait to read the next two books. Once they finally got together it was great but the waiting was what was killing me! I have long been a fan of this author's work and it hurts me giving it a three star rating but this book was slow paced with no real interaction between the H/h and I hated reading how they aren't right for each other over and over again. Many connections and characters were introduced that show great promise to turn this into an awesome story so I'm betting books two and three will be amazing!Gabriel Legend is Here
4By Brunettebabygirl(3.7 stars) Scarlett Priest & Gabriel Legend are from very different worlds. When Gabe’s new club, Legend, needs help before it sinks he knows someone that might be able to help. Too bad his friend might of went the wrong way of procuring her services. Can she really do what he is asking of her and will she even want to? Legend has so much to deal with, struggling silently but can he finally get himself back on top? What happened in his past to make him so distant? This is a good introduction to the trilogy although it did drag at times for me. The pull between these two is magnetic and I am interested in seeing where Legend’s story goes. Remember this is only book 1 so we don’t get the full story...yet; told in dual POVThe Fall of Legend
5By Buttons and LaceMeghan March has done it again. She puts so much depth into her writing. You feel all the emotions between these two in this book. So in love with these two characters.Holy Moly!!
5By SareyyyyyOkay so, I truly don’t know how Meghan March could write any better. I truly don’t. All of the other books I’ve read by here have been extremely detailed with excellent description of the setting and all of her characters. But something feels extremely different about this book. This book is so freaking crazy that it took me a few days to really sit and think about this review before I actually wrote it. We learn about our two main characters Gabriel Legend and Scarlett Priest and we set up the foundation for the next two books. These two main characters are two of my all-time favorite March characters. Gabriel Legend is my new book boyfriend. My god this man is something. He has such a rough and rugged exterior but he’s extremely sexy and also vulnerable. He is conscious of all the decisions he makes and all of the possible outcomes that could come out of them. Scarlett Priest, is the girl I aim to be like. She is so strong, confident, and successful and yet keeps to herself. She has drive and knows what she wants and how to get it. These two work so well together, I love the push and pull that they have with each other. I cannot tell you guys enough how much I enjoy Meghan March’s writing, it is smooth, easy to read and quick to digest. Her storytelling abilities are just phenomenal, and they only got even better with this book. I don’t know how to explain it to you, but through this book I had to stop myself and say “WOW, how is this so good, what did she do differently this time?” When Meghan March said that this book was her best one, she is not kidding. I didn’t think it was possible for me to fall more in love with an author, but here we are. I am so excited to get my hands-on book two!! This is 100% a solid ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐! I received and eARC in exchange for an honest review.Amazing
5By mylie martyAmazing book! Had me in all my feels, can’t wait for the next two to come out!!!!Ammmaaazing!!!!
5By Booklover328This is Meghan March at her best! Another fabulous start to a trilogy...oh where will she take us next! Loved this so much!! Can’t wait for the next part of the journey!!I Am All In With This Book
4By coffeegoddesstmkScarlett Priest and Gabriel Legend come from completely different worlds. But she has something that he needs, and he's ready to go to the mat to get her help. And, although Scarlett doesn't know it at first, it doesn't take long for her to see that there is much more to Gabriel Legend than she could have possibly seen coming, and that more is going to change her is every single way... Okay, so I'm all in...I know that if the first book in the new Legend Trilogy by author Meghan March has me feeling this kind of way that it's on. Three books? You bet. I'm there for the whole ride, y'all. Because, once again, the lovely and talented Ms. March has created a whole new world (is that singing that I hear...?) with a whole new set of characters to get to know and love. And love them, I do. Meghan does a bang-up job of setting the mood for the trilogy with this first book, showing us what makes these characters tick and why. I am truly excited to see what's ahead for Scarlett and Gabriel, and I know that Meghan will deliver like nobody's business. An easy 4 stars, THE FALL OF LEGEND should be high atop your book pile, friends. Go forth and devour... ❤️5 LEGENDary Stars!
5By SaseegrlEvery time Meghan March announces that she is releasing a new book I run to Amazon and preorder and then impatiently wait for the release. This time was no exception. And WOW! The Fall Of Legend was worth the wait. It was an addictive page turner that I could not put down. And this is only the 1st book in the trilogy. As always, she writes a totally original hotter than hell antihero and a sassy leading lady. And Scarlet's friends? I wanna hang with them. Hilarious! Such amazing characters all around. Really, how can you beat a street fighter and a socialite, opposites attract story line? But that cliffy ending. Now I have to wait until December 10th to see what happens!The ending.. ahh
5By Samantha S!Queen of cliffhangers. Scarlet is a down to earth event with being popular and having money. Gabe isn’t rich and has a hard life. He’s had a made for himself with fighting.Legend is shaping up to be legendary!!!
5By sarah kleckerDesperate to do anything to salvage his failing club, Gabriel Legend has a possible solution dropped in his lap...or rather his office floor. Scarlett Priest never turns away from a challenge...and she won’t when the opportunity to get close to the elusive Gabriel Legend is the next challenge put before her. Will she succeed in meeting his demands to help him save his club...or will she fall victim to her own self-doubt??4 stars!
4By DMarie0216Scarlett Priest is smart, sophisticated and stunning. She has a bright future ahead of her and one day seems to get kidnapped while on a run. What she ever expects is to meet the Legend, Gabriel Legend that is. One meeting has her captivated and wanting to see him again. Fortunately for her they’ve made a deal. Gabriel Legend isn’t the typical man Ms. March writes about but he’s sexier than sin. He can have any woman he wants but he finds himself infatuated with Scarlett. Will Gabriel be able to keep his hands off her or will they get together? So many questions and so many answers we still need to know and wait for! The Fall of Legend is book 1...we have to wait a bit to see how their story unfolds! 4 stars.You Won’t want to miss this!
