Before Legacy Academy #3
Before Legacy: Valentin
I’m different from my traitorous family, but no one will give me a chance.
My father broke the ancient vampire code and turned dark.
Now our powers are stripped, and society shuns us.
The girl of my dreams is going to Red Rose Academy.
She’s the only one who has ever believed in me.
Her father has forbidden her from seeing me.
I have to prove him wrong.
That I’m not like my family.
The only way to do that is to get into Red Rose Academy, but the doors are closed.
My only hope is to convince the Headmaster that I’m not like my family.
He’ll let me in if I can pass the trials.
If I fail, I’ll have to live like an outcast and never see my dream girl again.
Curl up with Valentin and fall in love again.

Before Legacy: Valentin (Before Legacy Academy Book 3
Before Legacy: Valentin (Before Legacy Academy Book 3) Wow, this book was hard to put down. We learn what Valentin went through, before he goes to Legacy. I have enjoyed this book as the other two in the series, so many heartbreak in his life. Definitely recommend this book 📕!!! Now onto Wolf Princess!!! I just absolutely love M. Guida, I hope she finds a good editing person or maybe some ARC people who can help with the spelling errors!!!

I loved it!
It was so enticing that I couldn’t put it down, this book grabbed my interest from the very first page. I had to know what happened next. The story is well written with a very good storyline. Want to read more about the Legacy Academy series? Want to meet the Defenders again? The stories in this Before Legacy series are what happened to the heroes before they attend Legacy Academy. Meet Valentine, son of a man who broke the ancient vampire code of draining someone and turned to the dark side. Now their powers have been stripped, and society shuns them all. He’s different from his traitorous family, but no one will give him a chance. Rose is the girl of his dreams, she attends Red Rose Academy and she’s the only one who has ever believed in him. Her father has forbidden her from seeing him, but he makes it his mission to prove him wrong, and that he’s nothing like his family. The only way to do that is to get into Red Rose Academy, but the doors are closed. His only hope is to convince the Headmaster that he’s not like his family and only then will he let him in if he can pass the trials. If he fails, he’ll have to live like an outcast and never see his dream girl again. So with all that and more this story pulls you in and holds you tight. I love this backstory to Valentine’s life. I highly recommend to everyone.

oh my god too short !
These books are so good. I cannot believe I have to wait all winter for Red Rose Academy! Well at least that means I'll be able to reread all her books once again! If you need a pre reader I'm your girl. I found a lot of errors in your books so who ever is editing for you should loss their job. Just saying! Anyways errors or not another great book from this author.

It was a really good book. The story kept my attention and all. I think it would have been nicer without the grammar and other spelling errors, but I got over them. I was jarred by how it ended tho. It was as if the story was just left hanging. I dunno if there is another book to follow it, the ending didn't say. Maybe we'll pick up the story again later on??? Either way, I gave it a five star because I did enjoy it until the end.

Fantastic
I have loved reading all of the legacy universe series's stories and I have no doubt that this one will be another one in the same calibre, I look forward to the next one with anticipation!

Very intriguing
I really liked reading this story. I have read one other story about the characters at Legacy Academy and I would like to continue to read and about Red Rose Academy also.
