S.E.X. Review~ The Legacy by Alex Jane

1919. Nebraska.

After returning from the frontline in Europe, all Emmanuel Jackson wants is to find a little peace. Unable to cope with life in New York, he escapes to the homestead his grandfathers left to him in Nebraska. Except, after four years, the sleepy town of Lastford isn’t exactly how he’d left it.

With many of his neighbors forced out by financial hardship, and a ruthless businessman taking full advantage of the fact, Emmanuel finds himself being drawn into matters he’d rather avoid. One of them being Asher Franklin, his childhood tormentor and unfairly handsome officer of the law.

Having to fight his attraction to the man he once hated, as well as defend the community he wants to make his own, is far from the quiet life Emmanuel had envisioned for himself.

But some things are worth fighting for.
And when there’s no fight left in you, love might be the thing that brings you home.

Alex Jane has become one of my go-to authors, especially when she expands on the Alphas’ Homestead series. Her latest book, The Legacy, The Homestead Legacy series was a wonderful addition that left a tear in my eye but a smile on my face.

Manny returned from the Great War, inheriting his grandfather’s homestead in Nebraska, hoping for a new start and a little peace. Fans of the Alphas’ Homestead series will remember the little boy, who grew to be a man and carry on Caleb and Jacob’s legacy.

Asher, an alpha without a pack, the district marshal, and friend of the family, intimated his life into Manny’s with the knowledge the man was his mate and the need to be near him. Unfortunately for Manny, he only remembered the young boy who tormented him.

Thank goodness Ms. Jane figured out a way to bring these two men together and created a sexy read with larger than life characters. I loved reading about Seth, although a bit older, still cantankerous and mischief-ridden.

Martha, ever spunky and vocal, made my day to read about her and the life she’s led. My downfall, and one which I already knew, Caleb and Jacob only live on in memory- my two favorite characters of the series.

As a lover of history, I appreciated Ms. Jane’s attention to historical detail when writing about Nebraska and the surrounding states. I was transported to the homestead, and the desire to keep tradition while embracing the new.

The Legacy was heartfelt, tearful, and sexy all rolled into one story. A must read.

1895. New York.

Gabriel Webster’s pack is in trouble. His father’s failing health and his mother’s untimely death mean that the vultures are circling. It won’t be long before his family’s assets are stripped and his pack disbanded. When an offer of help arrives in the form of a marriage of convenience, he has little choice but to accept.

The arrangement would be the perfect solution, if not for one thing. Gabriel is to marry Nathaniel Hayward, the Alpha who was badly injured in the accident that killed his brother ten years before—and the man Gabriel has been in love with for as long as he can remember.

Trapped in a business arrangement masquerading as a marriage — in a strange, empty house with a damaged husband who barely tolerates him — isn’t what Gabriel expected from life.

But sometimes the last thing we want is the beginning of something more.
And an ending can be the start of something beautiful.

About Alex

After spending far too long creating stories in her head, Alex finally plucked up the courage to write them down and realized it was quite fun seeing them on the page after all.

Free from aspirations of literary greatness, Alex simply hopes to entertain by spinning a good yarn of love and life, wrapped up with a happy ending. Although, if her characters have to go through Hell to get there, she’s a-okay with that.

With only a dysfunctional taste in music and a one-eyed dog to otherwise fill her days, Alex writes and walks on the South Coast of England—even when her heart and spellcheck are in New York.

I was in love with the Alphas’ Homestead series and now have a new favorite in The Arrangement, A Homestead Legacy series. Gabriel and Nathaniel rivalled any wolf pairing that I have previously read.

When Gabriel’s pack dwindled, the only real solution was for marriage to another pack alpha. Enter Nathaniel. Scarred emotionally and physically, the two men knew each other as children- Gabriel’s’ brother being Nathaniel’s best friend. Tragedy tore the friendship apart, and necessity brought them back together.

Gabriel’s easy going and loving spirit complimented the exterior gruffness of Nathaniel, knowing that inside, the man radiated tenderness. He just needed the right mate to bring out the best in him.

Ms. Jane dove into a beautifully written historical romance of men who needed to heal not only on the outside but on the inside. A light was lit and sunshine was brought back into Nathaniel’s life as Gabriel’s careful handling was of the nature of a shy colt. Ms. Jane allowed the characters to guide her and pen a timeless love story; where arrangements can sometimes turn into beautiful romances.

The secondary characters- Nathaniel’s pack- were an exceptional addition to the overall storyline. They added dimension and depth, especially into the understanding of Nathaniel’s temperament. Tad (Alphas’ Homestead) made an appearance, and it was wonderful to catch up with him and his mate, even if in a small way.

The Arrangement was beautifully written and should be immediately read.
