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.

    The Legacy
    He has the look of a predator, and I wish he would hurry up and catch me. 

    Our hero Hayes is the kind of leading man I want and need. He's bold, fearless, and not ashamed to take charge. His introduction to our heroine, Confidence, is cray-zay!!! Their chemistry jumps off the pages right away, but the way their relationship progresses is not at all "insta-love". The journey we were taken through with this couple was such a breath of fresh air. Their sexy times had me biting my lip and sneaking pages at work wanting more more more. That dirty mouth on Hayes... Lord have mercy!! 

    She’s the catch of the century, and she’s mine. 

    And Confidence, she was a spit-fire from page 1. So strong and demanding, yet she had a delicate side about her that only life-experiences could create. As tenacious as Hayes was, she threw down toe-to-toe with him. She was equally fearless, yet compassionate where it counted.

    And the book world that was created in Rivers Wilde was perfection. I want to live there. I wish it were a real place where at least I could go on a vacation to. I can't wait to read more from this community of people and places that were created.

    One of my favorite quotes: “For the rest of the world you’re strong. Everywhere else, you’re untamable. But here, you’ll let me have whatever I want, won’t you?”

    The Legend
    This was one of the most breathtakingly raw stories of love I've ever read! This book delivers such a powerful punch, I know it will stick with me for a long time. It weaves a tale of deep rooted friendship and first love, and tells the tale of how the love of a lifetime, deserves a million chances.

    Remi and Kal first meet in their blossoming youth and form a friendship so unique. As a reader, I found myself pinned to the pages, unable to tear myself away from reading about their friends-to-lovers tale. I had butterflies right along with Kal, and felt the desire that built between these two. Their angsty and lust filled summer together truly made me believe in soulmates.

    What happens on the pages afterward had my heart in my throat. I tore through the pages, needing to know what happened next. To experience such redemptive love was magical.

    And to be honest, it was hot AF. I found myself biting my lip and clenching my thighs at points.
    Remi in his youth was cunning and confident. But as a man? He was legendary. A take-charge type of man, both inside and outside of the bedroom. Kal is the type of female lead that I love. She's never had anything handed to her, and handles delicate situations with such grace. Her heart of gold spills from the pages and helps mold Remi into the man he needs to be.

    The Legend is a love story that stands the test of time.

    The Jezebel
    Whew! Talk about soul-searching, lust and suspense! I loved this book so much. This is an age-gap where the woman is older than the man. They meet as children, and the foundation of their relationship is built upon their childhood alliance when they were 18 and 10. Their friendship ends as quickly as it began, just as a young Stone Rivers is about to profess his childhood love to Regan Wilde.

    When they meet later in life, sparks fly in the best way. Stone is just shy of 30, successful, and still infatuated with Regan. I love how his lust for her screamed out with every page I read. I love the internal thoughts he had of her, his playful way that he challenged her, and the uninhibited way that he loved her. Stone Rivers is my new favorite book boyfriend for 2020!

    Regan was living a shell of the life that she was destined to live. After a horrible experience when she was in college, along with a shady family situation, she's fallen into a loveless, exploitive marriage. Her heart, mind, and body are basically screaming for the escape and release that Stone promises her.

    I don't think there was ever a doubt that these two were destined to be together. Stone and Regan brought the lust, passion, desire and unequivocal connection of soulmates.

    I can't wait to read more about what happens next in this series. The background of the Rivers and Wilde family histories are forming into something exciting and suspenseful. Who's next in line? I'm ready for them!
    "I water you, you water me. Together, we're going to grow.".

    The Gathering
    If you've read The Legacy, The Legend, or The Jezebel, then you'll absolutely love revisiting this Rivers Wilde crew. It's based around a holiday gathering that they're all in desperate need of.

    What I loved most about this story was the introduction of Tyson's potential love interest (he's the younger brother/playboy who's fun AF) and Tina's little naughty self getting some good loving. She's the villain through most of the first book, but I grew to love her something fierce.

    Hayes and Confidence, Remi and Kal, and Stone and Regan all make spectacular, sexy appearances in the Gathering, and give us a much-needed glimpse into their HEAs.

    Forming the Foundation
    The Legacy brings drama, heat, and passion. The chemistry between Confidence and Hayes is powerful. Ms. Allen did a wonderful job of building the world of Rivers Wilde with great detail and fun side characters. These two fiery characters faced some twists and turns to reach their HEA. This is an angsty read that makes me wonder what other adventures await me in Rivers Wilde.

    Legendary Love!
    The Legend is the second book in the Rivers Wilde series. It picks up right where The Legacy left off...with a bang. The prologue reveals family secrets, but leaves us with more questions. This mystery is a catalyst that starts our hero and heroine on a path of self discovery and eventually back to one another. The relationship between Remi and Kal is one that spans decades. The bond that Remi and Kal first form as teenagers is galvanizing and magnificent. When that bond is fractured it alters the trajectory of their lives in both brilliant and heartbreaking ways. The journey these two endure is awe-inspiring.  As Remi says "the love of a lifetime deserves a million chances." 

    The Goddess and her Cosmic Destiny
    The Jezebel was an enrapturing read. The characters and connection between them was effervescent. I loved every second of this love story. There was friendship, longing, angst, and passion in spades. I was hooked from the first page and relished every word that Ms. Allen artfully crafted into fruition. 

    Family by Love
    The Gathering was a wonderful, romantic and hope filled story. I loved each glimpse into the lives of these fantastic couples and their families. The growth and adoration and intense passion were luminescent. Also, I think I don’t hate Tina Wilde, LOL. And Tyson Wilde definitely has my attention. I can’t wait to see him fall!

    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. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

    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.
