My favorite family rivalry drama series and I can’t get enough
5 out of 5 stars
My favorite family rivalry drama series and I can’t get enough
My favorite family drama and series all cook up together in one book. The Rivals is a full on collection of the Rivers Wilde series by Dylan Allen. The Legacy This book is full of banter, secrets, family drama, passion and love to last a lifetime. The connection between Hayes (Her King) and Confidence (His Queen and Tesoro) is undeniable from the very first encounter. Even when they wanted to strangle one another they couldn’t denied their connection. This love story is swooning, captivating, red hot and mesmerizing. They love with everything they have and love even the imperfections of one another as true love should be. Because no real love comes without struggles and cracks. Confidence is a real woman, a professional, smart, strong, independent and sexy. Her life hasn’t been easy but she has a fierceness in her that helped her conquer everything and achieve greatness as a young lawyer and as a woman. She is a southern belle and pretty proud of her roots. But don’t underestimate her. She is fierce and a perfect match for Hayes. Hayes Rivers is absolutely sexy hot and then some. He has a powerful aura even without all the money he posses. He is all male but inside all that power there’s a young broken soul. He had lost a lot and it’s force to leave his home at a young age to ensure a future for Kingdom Corporation; HIS LEGACY. 15 years later Hayes is ready to come back and take reins of what it’s rightfully his. The Legend After finishing The Legacy I was dying to get my hands on book 2 after the boom Dylan drop on us at the end. I was expecting a beautiful romance full of passion, love and lust( which we totally get ) but I was NOT expecting the turns of events that we get in this story. I ache, swooned , sighed, laughed and burned with this book. What I can tell you about Remi and Kal is that they met at a young age and their connection is instant and strong. Like lighting in the sky this two kids get struck and fuse together. Their love is beautiful, emotional, sweet but also ardent. Lies and secrets will get in the way of their love and they will have to face the consequences of their choices. Will they finally get to live the grand love they have or will outside forces will keep them apart??? I totally know the answer and I’m not telling. Wait until you guys get this baby and see all that I already devoured and loved. The Jezebel The Jezebel is hands down the best book on the Rivers Wilde series to date and my favorite. This book blew my expectations. This story was full of angst, passion, pain, desperation, love and family drama. Omgg it was like watching one of your favorite soap opera’s. I love coming back to the Rivers Wilde world. All the rivalry, money, power, secrets. All the feels and it had me hook all the way to the end. The Jezebel bring us the story of Regan Wilde and Stone Rivers. Rivals by birth but soul mates at heart. The story is an age gap romance, older woman-young man. Very sexy right? It sure was. The passion between Stone and Regan was inflammable. I love this book and all the feels I got from it. I love that Dylan made me love the character I been hating since The Legacy. Yeap ladies and gentlemen, Dylan made LIKE TINA WILDE. I couldn’t believe she actually made this woman be human. Also some of my favorite parts of this story includes Tina. Telling you people this book blew me away. The Gathering I just literally devoured The Gathering in one sit and it felt soooo good to have all the family together for Christmas. You have all the characters POV while they are getting ready to have a family gathering. You get a bite of their life after their HEA. I love the passion Remi/Kal, Hayes/Condence and Stone/Regan still have. How they can’t be apart because they need each other like air. I love seen this family overcome so much. It felt so good to have more of them and the lives they are leading now with so real dilemas. Another thing I’m going to say about The Gathering and I can’t believe I’m saying is GOOOOOOOO TINA! Omggg guys that was BRILLIANT and Dylan I want her book like NOW. I bet you never see me saying this to you. Also Tyson’s book we must get sooooon.
Thank you for your feedback

    Three of my favorite Dylan Allen books, and a BONUS novella, all in one book!!!

    The Legacy book 1
    Wow, just wow!!! I am blown away with this book!!! Hayes and Confidence come from two different worlds. Hayes comes from a family of power and money. He's the current keeper of the family's legacy, which almost went to ruin under his uncle's care. Confidence is poor and had a pretty rough childhood. She didn't let any of that stop her though. She is so beyond strong and sassy!! Together, they make one heck of a power couple. They have intense chemistry and they are hot AF together in the bedroom....or wherever they happen to be. This book is full of emotions, it's angsty and it has twists and turns I didn't see coming. I highly recommend this book and can't wait for the next book!!

    The Legend book 2

    Oh this book!!!! It's stunning and amazing and I can't stop thinking about it!! Days later and I still have all of the feels!! Dylan Allen has this way of taking a story and spinning and twisting it with angst, intrigue and romance. She did this so perfectly with Remi and Kal. Remi is the Wilde heir. Raised to be a legend, like his father. Kal is from the other side of the tracks living with the mistakes her mom has made. They were perfect for each other. Unfortunately his family didn't think so. So many lies and so much manipulation but oh what a HEA!! I finished this book and could only wow, just wow.

    The Jezebel book 3

    The Jezebel is straight up EPIC! This is by far the best book she has written and my favorite of the Rivers Wilde series!!!

    This story centers around Stone Rivers and Regan Wilde. They are supposed to be enemies but from day one of their meeting they were never enemies. She was 18 and he was a bullied 10 year old genius. While their friendship didn't last, when they meet again years later, in Mexico, they have an intense connection and the chemistry they have is off the charts!!

    Gah!! I just absolutely LOVE these two characters!!! Stone is just WOW! He hot as sin, alpha with a side of sweet and damn is his dirty talk on point!!!

    <b>"My woman’s blood is tinged with mercury. Her spine is fortified by steel, her mind is wondrous, and her heart is a boundless bounty, and I love her without any condition."</b>

    Regan is my spirit animal. She is such a freaking badass!! She has been put through so much in life and she remains so incredibly strong and loving. I let out such a loud YESSSS when she brought her soon to be ex husband to his knees and he deserved every bit of it. Yes, she's married but it truly is in name only.

    The Jezebel is hands down one of my tops reads of 2020. It's one of those books that I just didn't want to put down and stuck with me days after I finished it.

    The Gathering

    Oh Dylan Allen, thank you so much for The Gathering. Set around the Christmas holiday and big family gathering on Christmas Eve, we get a glimpse the River’s and Wilde families. It's so brilliantly written!! It's a little family drama, a little witty and oh so hot steamy!!

    Highlight.....A glimpse of Tina Wilde's life!!

    What a fantastic story. The Legacy is the first book in the series and I absolutely loved it. I was hooked from the start and could not put it down.

    This story had heart. It's about two very different people from different walks of life who ended up being everything to each other. The novel was gripping, intense and very well written. The main characters Hayes and Confidence were both flawed and complex, yet Dylan made them so likable that you were rooting for them throughout the story. The chemistry between them was so intense you could feel it jumping off the pages of the novel. The secondary characters provided support and balance to these main characters and the author wrote the book in such a ways that it will leave you wanting to know more about these characters. The story will make you swoon and fall in love. Yet in spite of romance this story had so much woven in it. Intrigue, family secrets, betrayal and more, the novel will shock you with its twists and turns and the HEA ending will make you smile. Dylan Allen was a genius with writing the ending of this novel. A perfectly satisfying conclusion to Hayes and Confidence story, she left a few questions unanswered that will have you anxious for the next book in this series.

    The Legend is the second book in the Rivers Wilde Series. After reading The Legacy I was so excited and anxious to read The Legend and Dylan Allen did not not disappoint. This story was gripping and riveting and to say I loved it would be an understatement. It had me hooked from beginning to end and I could not put it down. So much family drama and intrigue, so many secrets and revelations and twists and turns, the plot grabs you and if that's not enough, the characters will have you invested in no time.
    I loved Remi and Kal from the start. Inspite of certain circumstances, I love the impact they had on each other's life. I loved the connection and chemistry they had and continued to have throughout the years.
    The extended characters all added balance and support to the story and the author wrote this story in such a way you will fell something for all of them whether you want to or not.
    This story was told in dual POV and was given in both the past and present day giving us a good understanding of the background and history of the characters.
    The Legend is not what you would expect. Its so much more. It's a legendary romance that will tug at your heart-strings. Its a story about mother's love and what she would do for her children, its a story about dealing with love lost. Its a story with so many different aspects to it yet you will love every word, every page, every chapter.

    The Jezebel is the 3rd book in the Rivers Wilde series and i was again hooked from beginning to end. I'm so in love with this series and this novel was just another excellent addition to the series. Dylan gave us superb characters with such a strong connection it could be felt through the pages of the novel. Stone and Reagan's story spanned decades and theirs was not a straight journey. This novel was emotional, romantic, engrossing and gripping and worth every moment spent reading it as you will be consumed with the characters and the storyline. Its a story about fighting for your dreams inspite of all obstacles. Filled with tension, drama, mystery, & suspense, super hott steamy scenes, and family and friendship you will be drawn into this amazing story and be totally invested in the characters.

    Bonus The Gathering was a perfect way to visit well loved characters and see where they are now. I enjoyed each story from each couple and I am now highly intrigued with Tyson and Dina. Can't wait for their book.

    I loved this entire collection and I would highly recommend it to all lovers of contemporary romance.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I fell in love with the Rivers Wilde Series.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 14, 2020
    Wow these are now all in one bumper book!! absolutely fantastic.

    This sums up this series for me:

    “This once in a lifetime love I found is nothing short of legendary, and it is the truest thing I’ve ever known.” Remi

    I fell in love with the Rivers Wilde series and the characters from the off. It’s the kind of story that you just don’t want to end.

    These three books have twists and turns, with secrets galore! It’s hot, steamy with angst too, and you will easily fall in love with all of the characters.

    Included in this release is the new Novella The Gathering, which is absolutely brilliant.

    The Legacy

    This book was amazing, it had everything you’d wish for in a HEA, great storyline, characters, romance, feisty, strong female lead in Confidence, she’s kick ass, and to die for hot male in Hayes, with all the steamy erotica added in. Twists and turns all the way.

    The Legend

    This book was simply astounding. Well Dylan! If i thought the Legacy was something, The Legend was another level. This was such a good read with so many twists and turns. Friggin awesome. After meeting Hayes and Confidence in the Legacy learning the back ground and thinking you understand the feud, the Legend opens yours eyes to the real story, will it bring them all together or tear them apart.......

    The Jezebel - One of Dylan’s best for me.

    “My woman’s blood is tinged with mercury. Her spine is fortified by steel, her mind is wondrous, and her heart is a boundless bounty, and I love her without any condition.” Stone Rivers

    Well we’ve had Hayes and Remi’s stories, and we were fed tidbits of information about the state of affairs with Regan! Now we get the up close and very personal full story, and what a hot mess that is!!

    I couldn’t put this down, right from the off with the prologue we dive in deep to the heart of it.

    Regan and Stones’ is story of Love and loss, of two people finding one another in a time of need and understanding, of making painful decision to protect, no matter what! This one goes deep.

    The Wilde/River feud would never allow them to be friends, let alone more.....Secrets, lots of secrets!!

    When your world is ripped from under you, what can you do?...fight back! and this is exactly what Regan and Stone are about to do.

    This has everything, heartbreak, deceit, romance, angst, it’s steamy, humour, secrets and lies, keeping us on edge right until the end.

    What a fantastic third book in the series. This was a full on family reunion and I loved every page.

    Bonus Novella - The Gathering

    Me summing up reading the gathering to Dylan:

    OMFG!!!!! That was brilliant, it was so good to get them all together in one story with all their POV. Tina surprised me. Yay go Tina, ok didn’t think I’d ever say that! Remi, Hayes and Stone, still so yummy as ever! But eff me do I want Tyson and Dina’s book right now. That is one big hook you’ve thrown out for us and you’ve just started reeling us in big time. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

    3.0 out of 5 stars Plot saved this from being a 2 star
    Reviewed in Canada on January 25, 2021
    This is my first book/boxset from this author and let me preface this review by saying that this author knows exactly how to write a 5star book. This boxset has angst, drama, sex, plot twists and great character development. All the things I love in a book.

    Now for the real review that makes this boxset a 2 star.

    The timeline of these books are all over the place. When reading these books nothing is consistent. In ‘The Legacy’, Hayes is 14 and Remi is 18 when they meet therefore, making them 30 and 34 respectively as adults. Then in ‘The Legend’, Remi is 18 and Kal is 17. However, when they meet again, Kal says she’s 31 but this timeline happens months after Hayes meets Confidence...so is Remi now 32? Kal says her daughter is 7 turning 8 but in the next chapter (only a week of being in Houston) she tells Remi her daughter is 9. In ‘The Jezebel’, Regan & Remi are twins...this book takes place the same time Remi and Kal reconnect and Regan says is 36? Regan also mentions that Tyson her brother is 4 years younger. Remi claims their Dad died when he was 2...so was Tyson conceived through immaculate conception? And Stone is 4 years younger than Hayes but during this book he’s 28 and not 26? This is just a few of the inconsistencies I found.

    Plus, on top of the never aligned timeline of these characters, I found grammar errors in every single chapter e.g. “...they book look happy as pigs in mud” “...reached over to snap my before I stand...”

    I know as an author it takes a team and personally, I think your team failed you because these grammar mistakes should have been caught in the draft and not have it published with a multitude of mistakes.

    I have hope for this author because she is a pretty great story teller.
