Book Review: Legacy by Laura Pavlov

                                        "What it must be like when your most important decision of the day is what donut you should eat." 

I admit, this is the first time I have read this author, and I can't believe I haven't read her before! This whole book tells a story that intertwines the best and worst parts of life. It is a really cute, sweet romance that is relatable to most everyone at times. 

Summary: 

                                        "Ford: I don't have time for distractions. I have a billion-dollar company to run. A father to grieve. A legacy to fulfill. Harley DeLuca is not my type. She's snarky. She's stubborn. And she's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen--even in her ridiculous grungy tennis shoes. I can't get enough of her. "

                                        "Harley: I was a mistake from the moment of conception. The sins of my mother have followed me like a nightmare in a horror flick. I'm determined to make a life for myself, free of my past. I have three goals. Open a bakery. Keep Gramps safe. And forget that I'm Valentina DeLuca's daughter. There's no room in my life for a man. Especially an arrogant, condescending jerk like Ford Montgomery. But now he's my business partner. My friend. And if I'm not careful, he just might be--everything." 

Characters:

    Harley: In the first twenty pages of reading this, I knew I would like Harley. She is everything I want in a main character. She's sassy, funny, and charming. She is also independent, which I love. Harley can do most everything on her own without asking or needing for help. I like reading about her, because it is a breath of fresh air. 

    A lot of books have the main character dependent on the H. They don't have hobbies or something they dedicate themselves too, other than the relationship. I like how Harley is different. She dreams of opening and running her own bakery. She is determined to achieve her dream, and I applaud her for that! 

    Like everyone, she has a past. That past comes back to haunt her, but it doesn't define her. Harley doesn't let her past define her, because she is brave, understanding, and confident. She believes in herself, and I love that! Everyone could use a little more self-esteem in their lives. 

    Ford: I really like Ford! He is such a great and charming character! He also is loyal, and will do anything for the people he loves. I love the family aspect, especially for Ford. It is great seeing a character actually bond and talk with his family.

    Even though he runs a billion dollar company, he is still a nice and kind person. Although, he does have a case of workaholic. Overall, I like him and his character. His personality is funny, and easy to be around. (Or in this case, read about). 

Plot: 

    I like the plot a lot! I like how it isn't just about the relationship. These characters all have jobs, and we get to see their daily lives into the business and companies they work/own. It is really fun to read and understand their determination to get what they want out of life. 

    The chemistry between the two characters is very real and visible. Their banter and witty comebacks are very entertaining. I love the relationship between the two! It isn't one is better than the other, but how they both complement each other. 

    I like how there is a plot line, other than the relationship. It definitely helps the story along, and makes for a more engaging read to me. It's always fun to read a book with some sort of mystery. 

Rating: 

    I give this book 4 stars! I really like the characters and the plot. It is a super fun and easy read that moves very quickly. I like how the author sticks to the actual story and doesn't try to invent some new storyline within the last 50 pages. 

    Overall, I enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone that loves a good cute and sweet romance! 

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
