NEW YORK CITY – In just over a year since romance author Blue Saffire began writing and releasing books, she has trailblazed a path to success that many indie writers can only dream of. A multi-Swirl Award winner and a perennial Amazon bestseller, Saffire is the woman behind the popular interracial romance series “Legally Bound,” “Hush,” “Ballers,”“Brothers Black,” “Perfect For Me” and “Yours.”

Always the overachiever, Saffire typically releases a new book every four to six weeks, quenching the thirst of her dedicated fans with spicy storylines and dynamic writing. Saffire has seven releases slated between October 2016 and January 2017 including three new “Brothers Black” books and four new “Legally Bound” books.

One of Saffire’s keys to success is her talent for connecting with readers on a personal level. In 2017, she’s throwing Blue’s March Madness from March 23 to March 25 at Wild Dunes Resort in Isle of Palms, SC. Not only does each reader get a chance to meet and hang out with Saffire, she’s inviting her bestselling author friends to join in on the fun. Included in the price of tickets are the events, new books exclusive to March Madness attendees and an extra-special secret surprise.

She also writes under the pen name Royal Blue.

Saffire and her family all enjoy life in the suburbs. However, life throws her challenges daily and since her diary is no longer enough, she has decided it is time for new outlets for the words she would never say face to face to her friends, family and definitely not her husband.

I waited a long time for this story and I don't know where to begin are what to write. I am happy that Sam and Tasha has finally got their time together but I feel like she and Sam was cheated out of a long love affair. We got seven long years to look into his and Ellen life before her death. I would recommend this book I am only venting because it wasn't more even though I enjoyed the story. This is my opinion.

Don LaSalle and Donna Tasha Locatelli

OMG! Sam, Sam, Sam! Blue Saffire has done it again! Blue, you made this so worth the wait and thank you for bringing me life with LaSalle! As much as I loved Sam, I'm totally in love with LaSalle! I'm so glad that Sam and Monique finally came together. Soulmates! I knew they'd be white hot sexy from the time Sam kissed her in the club eight years ago. I'm glad to see how all was revealed and the part Ellen played. Even though she was acting in her own best interests and her grandmother warned her, I think everything happened the way it was supposed to. Sam had to marry her so that Sammy and his sisters could be born and carry the legacy of seer.
With all that went on in this book, the best part was when La Bella Mafia showed up and showed out! Giving a true mean to stand by your man!

Now THAT'S how you end a series...

I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. THIS FINALE WAS CERTAINLY WORTH THE WAIT. Blue Saffire you have done your readers proud with this finale, no with this SERIES... THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK YOU....
SAM aka Don Locatelli most certainly is THE MAN, hot DAMN!!!!! And Mo-mo aka Tasha, we knew she was a bad chick when we were first introduced to her, but man we had no idea just how bad she was. I want to be HER when I grow up....

Legally Bound 1 was my introduction to you, this series and EVERY LAST ONE OF THE SPIN-OFFS. I will say I am sad the series had to end. But so very much looking forward to future spin-offs. I am sure we have not heard the last of the Mairettie's, Briggs and Locatelli's.

The final book of the 𝑳𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝑩𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 series is nothing short of flawless. The author masterfully weaves together a well-connected cast of characters, balancing their intricate relationships seamlessly. Every thread comes full circle, making this installment a breathtaking conclusion.

The board is resetting, fate is taking control, and resistance is futile. As the main characters battle against forces set in motion, they also struggle with who they truly are. But when they finally surrender to destiny, everything unfolds in ways that are both explosive and unexpected.

This book took my emotions on a wild ride. I laughed, I cried, and I even fangirl squealed at moments that left me breathless. And the alpha women in this book? Absolute powerhouses. If you love stories where the hero and heroine fight their true nature, only to give in and embrace their destiny, this is your next obsession.

𝕃𝔹𝟝.𝟝 - 𝕃𝕖𝕘𝕒𝕝𝕝𝕪 𝕌𝕟𝕓𝕠𝕦𝕟𝕕 is not just a must-read. It is a must re-read. This finale left me in awe, proving once again that the 𝑳𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝑩𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 series is truly unforgettable.

It is fruitless to resist the path that is your destiny. Yes.. There are choices that may cause a delay but what will be will be. Wow.. What a fitting ending for a King and his true Queens love story. A Love-aholic for Blue writing. She has imprinted on my heart with the last book in her "Legally Bound Series. This curtain is down. Blue it is time for you to take a bow.

I loved everything about this book. Blue Saffire never disappoints. Round of applause to Sam/Lasalle and Monique/Tasha. To one of the hottest and baddest couple in this series. It's been a long time coming... Looking forward to reading the next generation.

I love this book and the series and the fact that Blue Saffire left us caring about the children and wanting to get to know them as adults. I can't wait for this next generation's series

OMG

I have waited on this book. I stalked this book. I was not disappointed with this book. I need more Tasha and LaSalle. I need more about the Alliance and the Bella Mafia. I need more about Misha. I love his crazy. I need to know what happens to Kurtrina. I need to know about Czar and Brooklyn and DJ. I need to know what happens to Logan and Cam. This cannot be it. I need more. I need to see how adult Sammy turns out. I need more. This book left me wanting more. As excited as I was to read this book, this cannot be it. I need more Val and Uri. I need more of my favorite peeps. I loved how this book brought everything full circle, but now I have more questions than answers. Who's gonna Hush the Russians?. Is Kurtrina gonna stop running? Does she recover from Afa's death? I would really like to see what happens when her crazy and Misha's crazy really have it out. Will it be a love match, bc they both could use some healing. Will they form a deep friendship for the sake of Melanie? Misha needs a HEA with one of the "brown faced women" he is obessed with. This is too much. Too much. I need more books. Omg, please don't it end like this. As yall can see I loved this book. I have read every book, in reading order, and it has been the best ride ever. Please check out these books. Read them in order or you will be lost. I am waiting on more about the Blacks. I cannot wait to read more about them and their lovable but crazy mom Cass. Good books make you feel this way and while I have not been disappointed, even though Sephora threw me for a loop. I eventually liked her story. But it took a minute. My first reviews were not so nice with regards to Sephora's story. When yall read the books, you will know what I'm talking about. Now, I can finally get a quick nap before my alarm goes off at 430am. It's 3am but hey, I couldn't sleep until i finished what I started. Hot dang, I LOVED THIS BOOK. And I'm waiting on more. I need more. I love the characters and the wild crazy ride I willing take, every time I pick up one of these books. I don't watch much tv. If I'm not catching a movie, I'm reading a book. Good books are like mini adventures with GREAT friends. You don't where you will end up or what will happen but the journey to get to wherever yall are going is GREAT. Dang, I love reading.

What a roller coaster ride!

I really enjoyed this series and hate to see it end. I'm looking forward to the spinoffs. Did I read where Misha said his wife and child were in a hotel? Who did he marry? Was it Kurtrina or someone else? There are so many things left unanswered. Is Cam and Logan getting together as a couple? Who is Sammy's wife that's so much younger than him?

Blue is setting every thing up for some excellent spinoffs. I love her writing style. She brings an intriguing plot with just the right blend of suspense and mystery and eroticism. Her characters are complicated and evolving.

Sam has finally evolved into LaSalle and Monique into Tasha. They are finally becoming whom Ellen foresaw them to be, along with Sammy and Megan. Together, that family is a force to recon with. The women alone are enough to make you turn tail and run. It was great to read about previous characters from previous books incorporated in this one. Blue put her foot in this story. LaSalle and Tasha finally get their HEA after surviving a horrible tragedy, with Ellen's help and guidance from the grave.

Do not waste your time with this series!

I was loving this series until it came to the last book. It felt like the author added this twist to make the book's longer. If I had known how the author would kill off a character that I loved to bring in one who I could not get into I would never have wasted my money. The hero is worse because he knew he felt more for the other woman and still went with the first one. The whole time he was married he had the other one in the back of his head. To me that is the worst kind of cheating because it was emotional. The hero was quick to forget about the wife too! I do not think I will be reading any more books by this author. Very disappointed!!!

Legally Bound 5.5

I chose a 5 star rating, because this book is exceptional. I have read all of the books in this series and LaSalle and Tasha are the best. Don't get me wrong the entire series is exceptional but Legally Bound 5.5 brings it. I would recommend this book and the entire series to everyone who enjoys a really good book. When you start reading you will not be able to put it down. I cannot wait for the next book in the spin-off.😀😀

This was a fantastic end to Sam, Ellen and Tasha's story. I loved how both women worked together to help Sam become LaSalle who he was born to be. I loved that Tasha was a bad-ass just like her man. Now Sammy is totally something else. This book was the bomb I could not put it down. The story was fast paced which I love. Just fabulous story. A Must read!

I want more

I can’t believe this series ended. I want more I still have questions but this was an epic ending. I always wanted Tasha for Sam/Lasalle. When she met him in the bar I wanted them to be together so watching them come together after Ellen’s accident and tragic death was epic. I loved them together I loved seeing them fight thru the rough times. Having them both come into their own was awesome. Their love blossomed and it was perfect. The kids and the other family members are just amazing. But I still have so many questions. My Misha who is he married to? I love him and I think I know who his wife is I need that story. We never heard about Mark and his girlfriend again. I hope there will be a follow up in one of the other books about them. The only other couple that I wanted to read about is Paige and Bobby. My original fav but reading about Nate and Pam was cool too.

Well done Blue this was an awesome read. I’m off to reading about Toby! I love the Blacks.

Awesome sauce!

Most certainly deserves 5 stars. I was on the edge of my seat throughout this whole series. I have to say when I started out I didn't read the in order reading from Hush to all the black brothers books which are my fav. So I had to reread them but in order and now it makes since and so hot awesome and just panties dropping Hott! I'm so in love with Lasally and Tasha whew hot couple. I can see this movie worthy. Have to say blue saffire you are my Fav black author by far and All your books are awesome. You never failed us and love that the book star is a show one of my fav but disappointed the never finished the seasons. Keep on with the saucy reads cant wait for new black brothers book coming this nov 2021. Guys if you never read blues books hold on to your seats and JJ! Get ready for a hot ride! But please read them in order given for a fantastic out of your mind read. I loved every moment. Thanks Blue love u one of your biggest new fan.

forced myself to read - SPOILERS

Honestly had to force myself to read this just so I can finish the series. My blood boiled throughout. Watching Monique allow herself to become a ma’am(y) when she was worth so much more is beyond disappointing.

She deserved more than being who he settled for bc his prized Ellen died and felt she would be a good replacement. Literally forced to heal him and his kids… Sam had no real feelings for Mo/Tasha if he did Ellen would have never been in the picture after meeting her. But when he found a use for her (filling Ellen’s shoes) he chose her.

Expected more from blue. A better ending would have been her going back to Arizona and becoming a nun. Can’t believe I read through all the books prior only to be disappointed like this.

What was the thought process behind this book? Make BW second best?

Story telling is good just hate the plot.

Blue you are the s&@t...

Let me start by saying I do not normally leave reviews but I had to for this one. I love this series and all its interconnecting books. Mrs Saffire has woven a world that can keep on giving for books to come for a very long time. I will be there for each one. I am ready for more.

This book ties up lose ends while creating more. You catch up with previous characters you love. LaSalle and Tasha got me in my feels. I loved their both alphas in their own right willing to concede with one another but not the outside world. They were made for one another you got that from 5.0.
This book gives you their pain. Their conflict. Their desire. Their love. Their trust. Their loyalty. Their family.

If you haven't read this series, what are you waiting for. Get lost in the Legally Bound world and all the series to follow.

OMG....What An AMAZING Finale!!!

There are no words that can express this amazing ending to a series, I'm just in awe of everything that happened and occurred in this finale. To see and read the rebirth of Sam to LaSalle and Monique to Tasha. To see the revelations that took place were astounding. From the kids to the rest of the family and the rest of gang, this book had me reading from start to finish. I'm saddened to see this series end but I know it's not a true ending as Blue will have cameos of the characters in other books. This was such a wild ride from book 1 till Sam's book. Make sure you've read all the books in the series from Legally Bound 1 till now, along with Hush, Yours, Black Brothers, Ballers series to know who all the characters are and how they connect to each other. This is a must read you will not be disappointed!!!

Hot🔥Damn!

What a way to end a series. Wow! This series is all that and a bag of chips. I don't know how I got started on this but it was so worth it and far exceeded my expectations. I am few years behind on reading when the books were first released and thank goodness, the anticipation would've killed me. I give mad props and hats off to those who did.

I will not try to summarize as other reviewers have done that, but I will tell you to read the series in order as advised. There are other books/series tied into this. If you decide to accept this mission: get a bottle of wine or 2, box of tissue, snacks or fav delivery place on standby, mute or hide cellphones, charger for e-reader, find comfortable spot and enjoy the ride. The people you are about to meet and read about are some bad....girl shut your mouth!

Marvelous

This is another book in this series but not the last. I really enjoyed this as it's a must-read for me. The series revolves around family, each brother and cousins finds love. LaSalle is the king and the head of the family which have many issues. I have read almost all of their stories and the experience has been captivating and all of these characters have liket drawn me in to see how much their character will grow throughout their stories. I wasn't disappointed, I enjoyed LaSalle and Tasha together. This book will set your soul on fire. Tasha and all the girls are strong and fearless. The love and the storyline are fantastic. It had me jumping all over the place when it came to different parts of action and the sizzling hot passion. Lol but no matter read them in as much order as you can! ENJOY!!!

Words cannot express the brilliance of this author!!

I usually don't write reviews unless the books are terrible or in this case absolutely amazing. There were simplest things that the author was able to include in the story that completely transform her story telling. Ms Blue your work have been so consistent and entertaining, I cannot wait for you to transport me into another characters story.
Another thing that I love about this authors work is the connectivity between the characters and each story, there is a flow between each of her work that just bring an interesting quality to each character truth. I also love the family tree in the back of each book. I so in love with these series. I'm proud to say I'm part of the one click club when it comes to Ms Blue's work.😁

Powerful Conclusion!!

WOW, Blue Saffire, you did your damn thing with this book, there were tears of joy, and sorrow, and down right anger, but above all laughter & Love. You bought so much complexity to each and every character of this series, over the past two years, I've watch you bring all of these characters to life and I thank you for letting me and your other #BlueCrack readers, to be apart of your wonderful journey, I cannot wait to see what's in store next. What ever it is I can't wait to be a part of it. This was an amazing series from start to finish, if you haven't read a book by Blue Saffire you are truly missing out on one of the most amazing books.
Bravo Blue!!!

Great story finale to this series. Tasha/Monique and Sam/Lasalle are thrown together because of Ellen. Sam is broken but has to find a way to heal and take his place within the Family. Tasha was there when the gunfire started. Sammy clings to her and she know he needs he needs his Mo-Mo. Sammy is a special child with hidden gifts and talents that surprise some of his family. Misha seems to be determined to have Mo even if Sam has declared she is.

Secrets are revealed and love develops. Many who underestimate Sam will find he is a force to be dealt with. Some typos are in this book, the author needs to address so I didn't give this a five star.
If you have not read the series please do because you can be lost until about Chapter 11.
Great storyteller in this author...

At last, a ride or die.....

Damn good series. I think of Etta James song "At last" when I think about LaSalle and Tasha journey. Their love was one that was hushed on a slow burn! (those of you that read will get the pun) This journey was epic! These two were made for each other. There is saying that if you love something, set it free. If it comes bach , it is yours...if not, it never was! This a great series. I loved all the chatacters, but by far I love Cass! She reminds me of strong women I know with quick wit and forgiveness to match.

If you want to read strong women that are equally matched and not wimps, this is the story for you!

This is the best series by far. I rate it as 5 because rhere is no higher rating! Blue saffirer is amazing. I have never experienced so many range of emotions reading such a series in my life! Seeing the name Blue Saffire says read because you will enjoy the experience! If you know thos author and even if you don't, read whatever she writes! I promise you will be on rhe adventure of a lifetime. Her characters that she writes about become familiar and wonderful. My favorite will always be Mrs Cassidy Black! We all know someone like her with no verbal boundaries!

The est series ever! Can't put any Blue Saffire novels down. My favorite author by far. If it,says Blue Saffire go ahead and read it! You won't be disappointed! Th is has been an experience!

Awesome, Best Series Ever

Fabulous I hated that it ended to be truthful it is like I was pulled into the family off to the side watching everything unfold. Near the end it talked about Misha being married did he marry Tasha sister or who is there going to be a story about them. The Gypsy grandmother Phoebe Romaine was the best part in a way especially the way she kept talking to people after what happen. I’m trying not to give anything away because you need to read the book. Well if we can get a good snow or ice storm this year this is going to be my series I read over while dealing with being snowed or iced in.

I'm absolutely gutted that I finished this book, I didn't want it to end!!!

I can't even do this review justice as I'm not good at explaining how brilliant this book, series, story is, was and will always be. I want more, I never wanted this series to end as I became invested in every single character.

Now let me talk about the KING AND HIS QUEEN... LaSalle and Tasha...no spoilers here, they are the bomb, I love them both equally but when they get together it's pure magic.
If you haven't experienced Blue Magic, you are truly missing out, she is simply the BEST!!

This book was fire!

OMG, I didn't see half of this coming. Oh how I love Sam aka LaSalle and Tasha aka Mo- mo together. My heartaches for them both, but oh how they belonged with each other. Ellen is my shero she gave up her family for to make them stronger as a team. That is a hell of a woman and mother, she knew Tasha was better mate for her husband and would make life easier for Sammy. That child was amazing in action. I can't wait to see what will happen next with them all, but did we have to jump 20 years so soon? I need Can and Logan's story first. In all a great read.

I'm so into this series it's pathetic! I have taken to emailing this author to ask when the next book is coming out. This book causes me to have so many feels! I was crying and emotional at Ellen's letters. I felt bad for Sam who had no clue about her. The kids really broke my heart but Tasha is bad ass! The way she and the girls showed out at the add had me yelling! Any book Ms Saffire writes I have enjoyed! I don't read many mf romances anymore but she is an auto buy whenever she writes a book!

4.5 stars must read previous books

I loved the conclusion to this series. I am sad that this is the end. I hope the author writes a second generation series.
Word of caution, I strongly suggest you read all of her other books in order to understand what is happening. There are continuing storylines in this book
I gave it a half star less because there were A few things that didn't make sense to me especially about the heroines former fiancé's family and their part in the story but that's just me.
