Adrian Rizzo was seven when
she met her father for the first time, and he nearly killed her and her
mother. Her mother has an exercise video
empire, and Adrian sets up her own exercise online video empire when she hits
her teen years. Her safe place has
always been her grandparent’s house.
When her grandpa leaves her his home, she decides to move to her favorite
small town, Traveler's Creek. While
there she rekindles her childhood infatuation with a good-looking friend Raylan. Adrian has been receiving threatening letters
from a mysterious person for years, but they start to escalate. Who is stalking her and why?
I love Nora Roberts and this
novel started off with a bang. I was
reading quickly at first, but the story really seemed to drag in the middle. It
was filled with making fitness videos and running errands. It seemed to go abruptly
from scene to scene. I enjoyed the characters,
but they weren’t as well developed as I am used to in a Roberts novel. Adrian herself I just didn’t connect with,
which is troublesome when she is the main character. I also wasn’t feeling the romance as I
usually do in her novels. I usually really
love second chance romance and friends to lovers. The suspense seemed to come rather abruptly
to the front of the story at the end of the book. Legacy felt like a mediocre Roberts novel, it
was definitely not one of my favorites.
It pains me to say this.
Favorite Quotes:
“The first time Adrian
Rizzo met her father, he tried to kill her.”
“If her childhood had
taught her anything, it was to make time for her passion, her
responsibilities. And for the ones she
loved.”
Overall, Legacy was an
okay romantic suspense novel.
