Avra Vitalis never expected to walk into her family’s stolen empire dressed as a bride—but this isn’t a union of love. It's a declaration of war.
Her husband, Elias Xenos, is ruthless, powerful, and dangerously possessive—the heir to the family who destroyed hers. He views Avra not merely as a pawn, but as a prize he's determined to claim.
Yet behind their bitter rivalry burns a forbidden attraction too intense to deny. As lethal secrets surface and hidden betrayals emerge, Avra realizes revenge isn't the only thing at stake. In this world of blood oaths, passion, and deceit, trusting Elias could lead to salvation—or complete destruction.

Boring predictible plot, unintelligent characters, there is no chemistry between the characters. The writing style is repetitive, it's just TELLING and not enough showing, the smut after a while is repetitive and boring too. She's a strong FMC but he forces her into submitting and calling herself a whore? Strong? Her? Please. Even a random Delhi couple could be better. "Strong FMC" and it's just someone confidently taking the wrong decisions and sleeping with someone five minutes after meeting them. She couldn't even seperate her feelings, acting like a kicked puppy, when he isn't home for a bit. Her responses are so emotionally explosive, if anything it looked like a mess. Calista getting kidnapped and tortured was a little funny given how Alpha Elias acts 💀 He doesn't even know why he loves Avra. She's just different and always fights with him, that's it right? Ok misogynist. If she is so different why do you want to break her? If she is so different how did she bend to his degradation? Why does he get off of forcing her into submission when they just met? "A wife and a whore is the same thing." How empowering. Just because an FMC is aggressive and knows how to use a gun doesn't mean she is strong. It just means she is an aggressive woman who cannot control herself. I mean who tf purposely taunts enemies when they dont have any power yet? All she does is piss people off, kill some, then fuck the man she apparently hates. All while she doesn't plan anything at all. Neither is this a mystery thriller, nor is this dark, nor is it romantic. Just annoying.
This is my first mafia romance of the year and I'm quite happy with this book. It was good, I was able to read it in two days without getting bored so I'd say it's a win. It's not one of the best but it's definitely not the worst mafia romance to be ever written. Lets see what the next book in the series has to offer.
Great heat, angst, banter and a bad ass FMC! Legacy, an all-new enemies to lovers, marriage of convenience, dark forbidden romance. Just some of the Tropes…. 🖤Dark Mafia ❤️🔥Enemies to lovers 🖤Arranged marriage ❤️🔥Forbidden love 🖤Beauty and Beast dynamic ❤️🔥Hate to love you 🖤Revenge ❤️🔥Forced proximity 🖤Touch her and 💀
Sister of Wrath Trilogy begins with Elias and Avra's story. And it's a story of revenge, greed, betrayal, passion and family. Their relationship starts off as an arrangement; a marriage contract to help Avra, 30 year old Greek Mafia princess, to secure her family's legacy. What she did not expect was to fall in love with her husband.
Elias is 40 years old and has never once been interested in marriage. But when his father, the head of a Greek Mafia faction, informs him that he is to marry the daughter of their rival family, he has no choice but to comply.
He catches on quickly that Avra has a plan and he wants to help her. He cannot stand his father, and would love nothing more than to see him eliminated from this earth. However there are rules in the mafia and he needs to be careful.
Elias and Avra have scorching hot chemistry together. But can they trust each other? Will Elias help her regain her status as the queen of her family's empire? or will he betray her and set her up for death?
The story is so well developed and full of intrigue and suspense, that i could not put it down. Elias may be scary AF when he goes into torture and murder mode, but he is so far gone for Avra that it softens him in the best way.
Avra is strong, brave and so smart. Her sisters and Vik (a father-like figure in her lift) are her priority and will stop at nothing to ensure their safety and well being. She tries so hard to steel her heart from having any feelings for her husband, as does he, but their connection and passion for each other is undeniable.
Although their story is a standalone, you will need to read all three books in order, as the story continues with each instalment.
I was given a free ARC of this book, and this review is only my opinion.

‘I couldn’t help but smile. I had married a beautiful predator, a perfect match for someone like me. I couldn’t wait until she learned I could hold my own with her.’
Legacy is the first book in the Sisters of Wrath Trilogy. To get the full effect of these books they will need to be read in order. Because although Elias and Avra’s book is complete, the story is not. The current of this book is revenge wrapped up in dark romance held together by secrets, betrayal, and greed. This is a dark romance meaning the subject matter could be triggering for some readers. Read the author’s note if you are unfamiliar with Sienna. This book is an onion, as you read through the pages, layer after layer, reveals so much about the players in this book. And, the books to come. Little nuggets thrown about. The push and pull of Elias and Avra’s relationship is intense, consuming, and on from the start.
Fifteen years ago their parents were killed, their empire taken and the sisters' lives spared by going into hiding. The time has arrived for the Vitalis sisters to return to the city of their birth and reclaim their name. Revenge is the main course and those that have wronged them will choke on their betrayal. The sisters would marry, using their name and influence, and take back what was taken from them.
Elias Xenos has been low key running his father’s empire for years making it far more successful and lucrative than Ozias ever could. When Ozias tells him a marriage offer has been presented to them and it is none other than Avra, Elias knows there is much more to the offer than what he is being told. But, he will play along until he figures it out.
Their wedding was a lavish affair. A show for the major players in their world. It also has everyone’s tongues wagging.
Neither counted on the connection, primal lust, that they would share for one another. The days passed fueled by fighting and fucking.
Until it became more than sex.
…’The fact that I wanted to watch her burn things to the ground simultaneously amused and concerned me.’
Avra is more than ready to claim her status as godmother of the Vitalis Family. And, Elias is more than ready to stand beside her.
“If I help you complete your plan…” He brought his hot lips closer, brushing them over my mouth. “There is no going back for you.”
But, his father is still pulling strings attempting to hold onto the legacy he has tried to steal.
In this first book, we follow Avra & Elias. Avra is determined to get her family Legacy back. And she starts by entering an arranged marriage in her enemies family.
Elias has never thought about getting married. But when his father informs him he will be marrying Avra, he doesn't know what to expect. Neither of them expect this marriage to be anything other than a business arrangement. But they get more than they bargained for.
I devoured this book quick! It was fast paced, great banter & such damn good spice. Avra is a badass FMc! She is strong, determined & loves giving Elias a run for his money. The chemistry between her & Elias is great & instant.
This was a easy quick read. And I look forward to see what happens in the next books with her sisters.
3.5 ⭐️ Easy read. Mafia. Arranged marriage I enjoyed this book I just wish there was more chemistry with Eli and ayra. There was times I felt the connection and others I just didn’t. The storyline was great - different than the other mafia books I read. I loved ayra. She’s a badass and doesn’t care about a lot - except her sisters.
I love a good mafia romance. Avra and Elias are my new favorite. The bickering between them and the chemistry neither of them want to admit is there is chefs kiss. They both want revenge and they will stop at nothing to get it.
Tropes: Mafia Arranged marriage/marriage of convenience Touch her and die Enemies to lovers
Legacy by Sienna Snow is the first book in her new series Sisters Of Wrath, a trilogy about three sisters out for revenge. It is a dark mafia romance about the arranged marriage between Avra Vitalis and Elias Xenos. A true enemies to lovers as his family betrayed and destroyed her family. The feuding families bring drama to the story as they battle for power amongst the secrets, lies, betrayal and greed. A story about a couple who unexpectedly become the perfect match for each other. What happens when the arguing and fighting become so much more and hate turns into love but trust and loyalty is questioned at ever turn. An intriguing and captivating read.
Avra and her sisters Layana and Calista, have been in hiding for fifteen years since escaping Greece after Ozias Xenos murdered their parents. They are determined to get vengeance and reclaim their legacy and rightful place in the Greek Mafia. With the help of their father’s second in command Vik Remes, they have trained and planned their return to Greece. They now know the truth behind the coup and who was involved. The first part of their plan is for Avra to marry the son of the man responsible so she can get their home and land back.
Elias hates his father’s greed and thirst for power so has been running the family business behind the scenes for years. He is surprised by the arranged marriage but as he knows what happened to her parents, he is intrigued as to her reasons for going ahead with the marriage. As their relationship develops and his feelings for her grow, he wants to help with her plan to get rid of his father and his associates. Luckily he has infiltrated his father’s soldiers with his own and built up other alliances.
Avra never expected to fall in love with Eli. it goes against everything she believes but their connection is undeniable. Their passion is intense and sizzles off the pages but it’s not a sweet and gentle romance. The plan to use each other slowly disintegrates and they realise they both want the same thing. I loved how Elias proves he is nothing like his father, he respects women and will do anything to keep her and her sisters safe. She is such a strong character and I loved how she stood up to the men who don’t appreciate her trying to bring them down.
Trust is always an issue between these two and the lines are very fragile. Nothing is as simple as it seems because Ozias won’t go quietly and is also planning things. Can she regain her family’s position or will Elias betray her like his father. Who can they trust and can they work together or is there too much against them. My heart went out to Elias when everything seems to be going wrong for him and was so pleased when he managed to turn it around. He may have many more battles to fight but he’s shown what a wonderful person he is underneath the violent mafia man. Although Avra and Elias work things out, the story will continue in the next book as the sisters continue fighting for their legacy.
Avra is one bad as FMC. She is a fierce protector when it comes to her sisters Laya and Calista. One night changed their entire lives forever, and now fifteen years later it’s time for them to return home and reclaim their birthright, their legacy.
Avra sets in motion her plan, one that sees her entering into an arranged marriage with Elias Xenos, the son of the man she is determined to exact her revenge against.
Avra allies herself against dangerous men, playing her cards just right, instilling fear, anger and seeds of doubt, and it’s a game Elias knows how to play all too well.
Only Avra’s carefully crafted plan, starts to come undone, her husband Elias can read her like an open book, realising that they have a similar agenda, but his close proximity does something to her, to both of them, insighting feelings that neither expected in their marriage of convenience.
Elias has always done what is expected of him. He has worked tirelessly to garner the loyalty, respect and support of his men, something his father never bothered with, because his father is riding high on his son’s success, because unbeknownst to his father, Elias is making a play to dethrone him.
Yet when evidence surfaces, it throws a shade of doubt over the trust that Avra and Elias have built. When Elias begins to piece together fractures of the truth and confronts his father, he doesn’t deny it, whilst Elias has discovered the truth, his father has set forth his own plan, and when Calista is caught in the crossfire does Elias move heaven and earth to bring his sister in law home, because Elias is a man of his word and he keeps his promises.
With Calista now safe, she is supported by her family as she heals from her trauma. Elias and Avra’s love for each other has cemented their relationship and solidified their bond, strengthening them, yet knowing his father is out there they must remain on guard.
Avra and Elias are a match made in heaven. They are fire and ice. She knows how to hold her own and Elias definitely enjoys the challenge. There bantering and bickering giving the readers whiplash as their foreplay ignites a white hot flame that they can’t escape.
Elias is dominant, controlling and possessive, his love for Avra knows no bounds. He loves her, cares for her and protects her in his own way. They both never saw each other coming, not anticipating that what they felt for each other would become more, their admission of love surprising them both. They bring out the best and worst in each other.
Those smexy scenes were not only primal and carnal, but between Elias and Avra they knew how to give as good as they got, the pleasure and passion was not only hot and spicy, but sinfully wicked, deliciously dirty, dark and depraved.
Highly recommend both the author and the book. Am looking forward to book two and seeing how Laya’s story unfolds.
I received an ARC. Therefore, I am submitting a voluntary review.
This book? A fever dream of revenge, lust, power plays, and dark mafia energy that grabbed me by the throat from page one and did not let go. I devoured every angsty, spice laced second of Avra and Elias’s story and I’m already feral for more. 👑💣
🖤 A marriage of convenience that drips with danger. 🔥 A “touch her and die” antihero who tortures his enemies by day and worships his wife by night. 🖤 A mafia princess out for blood and ready to reclaim her throne.
Avra Vitalis is that girl. The eldest of the Vitalis sisters, she enters a marriage with the enemy. Not for love, but for vengeance. What she didn’t expect? Elias Xenos, son of the man who destroyed her family, to match her in ruthlessness, loyalty... and bedroom dominance. 😮💨
Their chemistry? Combustible. Their banter? Whiplash inducing. The sexual tension? Criminally good. And when it all starts to feel real? Whew. I was clutching the metaphorical pearls and shouting, “SIR, that’s your WIFE!”
But don’t get it twisted. Avra isn’t just a heroine. She’s a godmother, a tactician, a fierce protector of her sisters, and a total mastermind.
Watching her go head to head with Elias (and everyone else in her path) was chef’s kiss perfection. And Elias? Babe, he’s a killer with morals. My favorite kind. 🖤
This is: ✔️ Dark Mafia Romance ✔️ Enemies to Lovers ✔️ Arranged Marriage ✔️ Forbidden Love ✔️ Villain x Villain Vibes ✔️ “I burn the world for you” ENERGY ✔️ Revenge served extra hot
LEGACY is book one of the Sisters of Wrath trilogy, and even though Elias & Avra’s arc ends here, the storm is far from over.
Layana and Calista’s stories are waiting and if they’re anything like this one? I’m ready to be wrecked.
👑 Final Verdict: Elias and Avra = 🔥🔥🔥.
If you love intense mafia romance, morally grey characters, and heroines who don't flinch at blood, this one’s for you.
Riveting, Suspenseful, and Powerful! The three survivors of the Greek Vitalis crime family have been in hiding, preparing for the time they will go up against the crime families that took what was theirs. As the eldest, Avra Vitalis is now the Godmother of the Greek Vitalis crime family. After her parents were killed fifteen years ago, she and her sisters, Layana and Calista, were rushed to safety in Prague, but the time has come for them to go home and to take back what is theirs. Their brilliant father legally secured his daughter's dynasty, which will anger the crime families that took over Vitalis's holdings. With the help of family loyalists, the girls have plans to exact revenge, and at the top of the list is Ozias Xenos, their mother's killer and the person who led the overthrow. Ozias is an all-around creep. A deadly serious man, Elias Xenos is the only son of Ozias Xenos. Elias has no respect for his father; many Xenos soldiers are now loyal to Elias, not Ozias. Soon, Elias will have to make a move, but not yet. Elias will be a player in Avra’s plans, and if it means doing away with his father, he’ll gladly play. Avra and Elias start out using each other, suspicious of every movement, but find they actually like each other. Their lust and hatred for Ozias is the initial bond, but it soon turns into companionship, respect, and trust. Elias is shocked by his deep feelings growing for Avra. I loved Avra. She is a tough, brave badass who loves her family and will do anything to keep them safe. Elias knows how to rough up a bad guy, but he also believes in right and wrong. The story is getting tense; terrible things have happened, and I can’t wait to read the next story. Linda
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.
This is the story of Avra and Elias. It is also the first book in the Sisters of Wrath Series and a book you won't be able to lay down. These two are not married because they chose each other. They are married because his family stole her family's empire. He is the heir to the throne so to speak and this marriage is because his father told him he had to marry a rival family's daughter. However, he knows that she has a plan and since he can't stand his father he is more than willing to help her out. Neither of them ever saw marriage as something in their future but now they are forced to endure each other. But underneath it all there is this ember that might just catch fire. I loved Avra and thought that she was a really strong characters. She is really smart too and a lot of people don't know how smart she really is. She is a woman who loves her family and would do anything for them. They will always be her priority. I loved that she was determined to never have any feelings for her husband and fought them every step of the way. Elias is of course powerful, broody to a degree and a man on a mission of his own. I loved how protective was of Avra, while at the same time she softens him from the man who goes into the mode where people don't want to see him knocking on their door. This book is great and one that I could't lay down while I was reading. I would say this book is a bit of a standalone. There is no cliff in the end but the main theme of the story will carry though the other books I am sure. You do not want to miss this book.
This is a great start to a new series from Sienna Snow. Avra Vitalis and her two sisters were all that was left of the wealthy, powerful Greek mafia family after their parents were brutally murdered fifteen years ago, they were secreted to Prague for their safety and raised by Vik, the nearest thing that they had to a father. Vik raised them to be independent, he trained them in martial arts, he made sure that they could protect themselves. When feisty Avra reached thirty she had a plan, she and her sisters would get revenge for their parents deaths and reclaim their vast estates. Avra would sacrifice herself, she would offer herself in marriage to Elias, the son of Ozias Xenos, the man who murdered their parents, it would be a deal that greedy Ozias wouldn't be able to refuse. Elias was a dark, ruggedly handsome, cold blooded killer, he was the man who ruled the Xenos empire, he was the one who the men answered to but his despised father was still the figurehead, a figurehead who had his own agenda. Avra and Elias were married, neither had any illusions about the marriage, both knew that they were using each other for their own ends but against all odds, and to the dismay of her sisters, they fell in love, the chemistry between them was off the scale but would they ever trust each other ? was Elias's conflict with his father real ? would this end in war ? were the sisters safe ? This story had me gripped from the beginning, there is suspense, there is fast action, there is combustive passion, I now can't wait for the next sister's story. I received a free copy of this book and my review is voluntary.
Dark Mafia romance, trilogy and three sisters out for revenge? Yes, please!
It’s a gritty mafia romance centered around an arranged marriage between Avra Vitalis and Elias Xenos. A classic enemies-to-lovers tale, their relationship is fueled by the deep betrayal and devastation his family inflicted upon hers.
For fifteen years, Avra and her sisters, Layana and Calista, have lived in hiding after fleeing Greece when Ozias Xenos murdered their parents. Now, with revenge in sight and their legacy within reach, they’re returning to reclaim their place in the Greek Mafia. Trained by their father’s former right-hand, Vik Remes, they know the truth behind the betrayal. The first move: Avra must wed the son of their greatest enemy to take back their home and power.
Elias has always resented his father’s ruthless ambition and has been quietly running the family empire from the shadows. The news of an arranged marriage takes him by surprise, but knowing what happened to Avra’s family, he’s intrigued by her decision to accept it. As their connection strengthens and his feelings deepen, Elias becomes invested in her plan to take down his father and dismantle his inner circle.
I flew through this book—it’s a gripping, fast-moving story with sharp dialogue and seriously intense heat. Avra is a fierce and fearless lead; confident, relentless, and more than capable of keeping Elias on his toes. Their connection is immediate and full of fire, making their dynamic irresistible.
It’s a smooth, addictive read, and I’m excited to dive into the next installment and see where her sisters’ stories go.
The tagline for LEGACY by Sienna Snow says it all ... "Hell has no fury...". Book #1 in Sienna's Sisters of Wrath new dark mafia series was non-stop action, drama, secrets, lies, betrayal, and vengeance from the outset. Feuding families, forced proximity, a touch her and die hero, and a feisty, unforgiving heroine ensures this is a captivating, edge of your seat, and entertaining read from the moment it begins.
As a young girl Avra Vitalis' world was torn apart and now she's returned seeking revenge. Elias Xenos is the son of the man who betrayed and destroyed Avras' world, and he ready to take over from his father, no matter the consequences. An arranged marriage, unexpected chemistry, explosive heat, and a growing trust, not only lead to Avra and Elias becoming allies in their need for revenge, but also the development of some unwanted emotions.
LEGACY was a terrific read. The relationship between the three sisters was fiery yet loving, they have grown from young naive girls into strong women fighting for their name and their rights. Avra and Elias were passionate, powerful, and unforgiving. Their story is an addictive, captivating read which I found difficult to put down. I'm looking forward to reading Layana's story, Influence, and Power Calista's story. Sienna snow has a gift for writing strong, female characters, and she didn't disappoint with Avra.
All I can say is “Wow”. I love a story with two equal alpha personalities. You’re guaranteed to not only have a hot connection, but a lot of fighting, betrayal, lies, trust issues, redemption, and forgiveness. I was hooked from the beginning and I can’t wait for the next installment.
This story is about the heads of two families. Elias has been running his family’s Greek mafia empire from behind the scenes for years. He despises his father and has been secretly working against him for years. When his father arranges for him to marry the eldest Vitales sister, Avra, he’s not on board with the idea, but he wants to know what his father is up to. What he doesn’t count on is his attraction to Avra. She is hot, smart, sassy, and devious. All of the traits he can get behind for a wife. When he finds out her true reason for agreeing to an arranged marriage, he’s not sure if helping her, helps him too. Avra and her sisters have been in hiding for 15 years. After their parent’s death, they vowed to get revenge on everyone who had a hand in their death. Their first step is to get inside each enemy territory, starting with Avra. When Avra marries Elias, she never thought hot sex would interfere with her plans, but learning to trust him and carry out her and her sisters plan is the only way to see this through.
OMG! I loved this book. Elias and Avra struggled so much during their relationship with betrayal and trust that watching them slowly overcome it and learn to not only trust each other but find that loving each other is a bonus they never saw coming.

“The fact that I wanted to watch her burn things to the ground simultaneously amused and concerned me.”
Sienna Snow has quickly become one of my favorite authors! I recently picked up my first series by her, and now after reading this I’m absolutely hooked.
From the very first moment Avra and Eli lock eyes, their chemistry is magnetic and undeniable.

If you’re looking for a love story that feels epic, emotional, and utterly unforgettable, Legacy is a must-read. I can’t wait to dive even deeper into Sienna Snow’s worlds!
Fantastic new dark mafia series starter by Sienna. This is a Trilogy of 3 sisters out to get revenge. 1st book is Avra's the eldest sister. Sienna always writes her FMC to be strong, powerful and a fighter. So Avra was all that. Elias is ruthless, smart, morally grey but loyal and protective to those he loves. That's definitely not his father. Avra and her sister were in hiding for 15 yrs after devastating coup by Elias' father. Now they are back and she is going to marry Elias. She plans to get revenge by marrying into the family. Elias was absolutely amazing, knowing she had an agenda he was definitely falling first. Both being so strong characters, they definitely clashed but also we're perfect for each other. With secrets and plots being revealed, trust is very weak. Also when fake starts feeling real. Can they trust each other? Lots of drama, twists, betrayal, action, unaliving, humour and super spicy.
'This was my wife, my wh*re, my partner in destruction. She was my family. If anyone touched a hair on her head, death would be the easiest thing they endured.'
Legacy is a dark, gritty, and utterly consuming start to the Sisters of Wrath trilogy. Sienna delivers a high-stakes romance where love and loyalty collide with secrets, betrayal, and a thirst for revenge.
Avra Vitalis, the fierce eldest sister, returns from the shadows to reclaim her stolen legacy by marrying into the very empire that destroyed her family. Her union with Elias Xenos, son of her parents' murderer, is meant to be a calculated move. But what begins as a marriage of convenience soon ignites into a volatile, electric connection neither expected.
With layer upon layer of deceit and emotional intensity, Legacy is more than just a love story, it's a power play. Elias is torn between duty and desire, while Avra is hellbent on revenge, even as real feelings begin to cloud her judgment. Together, they form an uneasy alliance as enemies close in and the past refuses to stay buried.
Expect steam, suspense, and plot twists that will leave you breathless. A must-read for fans of dark romance and mafia intrigue. Can’t wait for book two!
Book 1 in the Sisters of Wrath series by Sienna Snow promises an action packed series full of spicy tension.
The 3 Vitalis sisters are Greek Royalty among the mafia underworld. After their parents are murdered in a coup to overthrow the hierarchy the girls are hidden away and presumed dead.
15 years later their time for vengeance has come.
This dark mafia romance is packed with tropes guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your page. When a marriage of convenience unearths dangerous family loyalties and pins a fierce heroine with a powerful alpha male..who will come out on top? Avra Vitalis is the oldest sister and the protector of the family. Head held high she walks into the proverbial fire with a plan for an arranged marriage with Elias Xenos, the son of her parents murderer. Elias is an alpha male through and through who has his own motives for agreeing to marry the enemy of his family-and sports the “touch her and 💀” mentality.
Grateful to have received this book as an ARC read and absolutely cannot WAIT for the rest of the series.
What started off as a marriage of convenience grew to an epic love story. The 3 Vitalis sisters have been in hiding for years after the death of their parents. Now they are looking to take back what is rightfully theirs. First thing to do is make an alliance. As the son of her most hated enemy, Elias is the tool she needs to get her revenge against the man who took everything from her. Although they start their marriage with distrust and secrets, Avra and Elias grow to love each other and the life they have made together. Avra is used to only caring for her sisters and their future, but when enemies try to destroy what they’ve built, she and Elias will stop at nothing to keep their family safe. Full of love, intrigue, and betrayal, this is another win for Sienna. I am eagerly awaiting the next book in the series to find out which sister gets her happily ever after next.

Thoughts: Avra was such a strong willed woman, I love how she eliminated problems. The passion they, had for each other was smoking- expect tons of spice. There was a lot of graphic violence and action in this story, so it was very exciting. I loved how both Elias and Agra were so willing to solve things with a gun or even their hands. If you like mafia books, this was a great one. 🛑Please read all the author warnings as themes and events depicted in this book could be triggering. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Way to make a statement back into the world they were born into.
For Avra Vitalis it’s walking back into her childhood home and right in the claws of the enemy. The man that had everything to do with the deaths of her parents. Leaving Avra and her sisters orphaned.
But the chemistry between Avra and Elias is undeniable and even more so when they say I do. As there story unfolds it’s pretty clear that it becomes more than just a marriage of convenience. Feelings are involved. And it’s pretty obvious when the enemies strike.
But luckily, for Avra, and Elias they are a team and they do do everything they can to get Avra‘s sister back, guns blazing and all. But at the cost of the spineless Xenoes. But I have no doubt that Elias will stop at nothing to deliver his final revenge for going after his wife and family.
I received an ARC copy for an honest and voluntary review.
I was enthralled from the beginning. This is the story of the Vitalis sisters and their desire for revenge after the murder of their parents. They have waited 15 years for their revenge. The oldest Avra has devised a plan that marrying the son of her rival will cement the beginning of the end for the Xenos family. However she didn’t expect to find out that the son Elias who is now her husband does not who she thought he was and she falls for him. However Elias has also fallen for Avra but their road to happiness is not all that easy at the start. Elias has no love for his father and together they plot his demise. Ozias is a greedy slimy old man who has other people do his dirty work. Avra is a hard nosed badass who you will fall in love with. Her love for her sisters shines through as well as her vulnerability. Elias is the take no prisoners type but has his soft side when it comes to his wife. Together they are formidable. It will continue in the next book and I can’t wait.
If you're looking for a tale of powerful families locked in a deadly dance of revenge, look no further. "Legacy" delivers a compelling narrative where the desire for retribution clashes with an unexpected and intense attraction. Avra's plan is clear: marry Elias and take back what was stolen from her family. But Elias's father has his own sinister machinations, turning their union into a dangerous game with deadly consequences. What begins as a strategic marriage of convenience quickly becomes complicated by the undeniable chemistry between Avra and Elias. Their initial animosity simmers into a potent mix of hate and desire, blurring the lines between enemy and lover. As they navigate the treacherous landscape of family secrets and betrayals, the question remains: will their growing connection lead to a powerful alliance and ultimate revenge, or will they become pawns in a larger, deadlier game orchestrated by Elias's ruthless father? This book is a gripping read that will keep you hooked until the very last page.
Why is this so good?!? The tension, the badass heroine, the obsessed hero, tight grip suspense!!! This book was so good. Warning. Eventhough the ending was good between Avra and Elias, but the plot was ending with cliffhanger. I definitely will dive into the second book as soon as I finish writing this review. Fiuh! The tension between Avra and Elias was so crazy. They were so hot with each other. It was so satisfying to read how Avra could lean on Elias and not to act so strong all the time. And it was so freaking good to read how Elias so obsessed with Avra from the very beginning. Though I wish their relationship get more exploration because it was not enough for me. I want to read more about them. Since I am so on the edge with the cliffhanger, off I go to the next book.
Thank you to Sienna Snow and The Author Agency for providing the ARC of this book for the upcoming release of the third and last book in this series.
Legacy is an amazing start to this new series. This is a series that is great for the following tropes:
* Enemies to lovers * Arranged marriage * Marriage of convenience
Elias and Avra have an intense relationship. It unravels more and more in the book.
Avra and her sisters suffered a terrible loss that began when their parents were killed. Their empire was then taken and they had to go into hiding. Once they return they vow revenge on everyone who has wronged them. Elias has been working with his father's empire. When he is told he has to marry Avra he doesn't understand.
Elias and Avra have a beautiful wedding. They believe this is only an arranged marriage. A business arrangement. Days are passed with them becoming closer together. Then they realize it has become more. The chemistry between them was electric.
I look forward to more from this amazingly talented author.
Thank you to the author for an advanced copy for an honest review.
