To start with, I have read zero books in this series to begin with, but that is going to change immediately after I have finished this review.

One word can sum this book up for you, HOT! Boy was this book hot and steamy, but not to mention well written and with great characters!

The romance between Kane and Nora was unlike anything I had read before, but boy! It’s one of those books you can read again and again.

Becoming a legend is a great book and one I totally recommend! 5 stars!

My first book by this author and it certainly won't be my last. Even though this was part of a series, I had not read any of the other books and I totally enjoyed this book on its own merit. What attracted me to this read was that it was set in the Woodlawn section of the Bronx, New York and I happen to know that neighborhood very well.
Light, fast paced this is Kane and Nora's story. They're complete opposites in every way and that is what made them so likable.
I laughed and I cringed at the snarky, sarcastic banter and bickering between these 2 and I realized that's par for the course if you're from the Bronx. They developed a love hate relationship that kept going back and forth until one day Nora sees a different side of Kane that changes her opinion of him and them.
Both had a lot of heart and I loved seeing how they grew to finally like each other.

Received an ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.

Now the twin gets his turn! Kane is preparing for a championship fight, but the flirtacious/fighting relationship he has developed with Nora is making training all kinds of fun. Nora, meanwhile, is trying to keep a handle on everything she has going on in her life. Between her doctoral program scholarship, working at the youth center, and keeping a part-time job to pay off her mom's bookie, she's pretty much maxed out. But Kane is a Kavanagh, and he isn't going to take any excuses. Watching these two figure out their relationship was a great time. It was emotional and sexy, but fun and sweet.

Again, we got to see this family growing even closer now that they're all home and they're starting to pair off. While we got a little more of Dee in the last one, we see a little more of Seamus in this one and you can start to understand where these brothers are coming from.

Another great Kavanagh read and I can't wait for Jimmy and Quinn to meet their matches.

Another strong Kavanagh man falling for a fierce independent woman.
Kane is working toward winning the MMA championship believing he needs to prove himself to his family.
Nora is working toward getting her degree and risking it all to help her mother just to feel worthy of her love.
Agreeing to one night, no strings works for about half a second with these two but they’ll need to learn a thing or two before admitting what they truly want.

Another great time with the Kavanaghs!
I love this MMA fighting family with brothers and parents who stick together through thick and thin. This is the third outing and Kane and Nora are giving in to the flirting buildup. If you’ve read this series at all than these characters will be familiar and already loved. Kane is dedicated to his sport which hides a surprisingly quiet and shy man beneath the bravado. Nora has proven to be a true friend already to the Kavanagh family. She has resisted him up until now but even her defenses can’t hold out against all that charm… Their journey is full of heat and passion, angst and upheaval – as well as all the quirkiness that comes with a big, rambunctious, nosy, interfering and delightful family!

Kane and Nora's story does not disappoint!! I love the MMA theme of the Her Series. I have enjoyed every story of the Kavanaugh Family.

It's always so fun to watch a ladies man find that one that he would do anything for. That's what I got from Kane and Nora's story. I knew their barbs and banter from the previous book was all due to some seriously high sexual tension between them.

This book was a treat! The characters were a true match and kept each other on their toes. The chemistry was intense and the story is just as strong, if not more than the others in this series. The Kavanaghs are my FAVORITE fictional family.

I just loved this addition to the series..

Kane Kavanagh is getting ready for the biggest fight of his life in Las Vegas. The problem is what or whom he cannot get out of his mind. That is Nora Hannigan. Her best friend is marrying his brother and though she is attracted to Kane she does not want to do anything to distract him from his opportunity for the championship. She also does not like fighting. At all, whether he wins or not. Both of them have passion for the other one but each are holding on to secrets about themselves that they think will destroy them. You still have all of the characters, and the family dinners. Everyone is in each other’s business, but it is up to them to take the leap while not destroying the other one. A very passionate and a story with some twists her and there. Overall another good book.

Sarah Robinson writes an amazing Martial Arts romance. Her writing style put you in teh middle of the action and keep you glued to the page. Kane has never lost a fight and doesn't plan on losing this battle with Nora either.

This is another good one in this series, I love the family dynamic between the Kavanaghs! They are too fun, and I love how supportive they are of each other. The romance is another sweet one, and I liked both Kane and Nora. The whole no strings relationship isn't my favorite premise, but I enjoyed the progression of Kade and Nora's relationship. I also loved the trip to Vegas for Kane's championship fight, and Nora's problems add some entertaining suspense to the story. Kane and Nora both have a lot they need to focus on in their lives, so they aren't looking for anything serious, so the two decide to have a no strings relationship, but of course, strings begin to attach to their relationship, which causes some angst for the characters. This story has dual POV's, and although, each story is a different couple, I think it's best to read the books in order. I really enjoy Sarah's writing, and I loved seeing the characters from the past books! I'm excited to see what the next Kavanagh brother is going to have to go through to find his happily ever after!

4 Stars!

I was pulled right into this story. The story has laughs, pain, secrets, and heartbreak.

If you have not read the below I would recommend reading those books(s) first
Breaking a Legend (Kavanagh Legends #1)
Saving a Legend (Kavanagh Legends #2)

This is Nora and Kane’s story. Kane is on his way to becoming a great fighter but thinks he can’t have a woman weighing him down. He meets Nora and wants her but can he be satisfied with only one night? What happens when she needs help and protection can he do that from afar? When he figures out he needs and wants her for himself just how much would he be willing to give up to have her? What would she never allow him to give up for her? Does she think she is even lovable after all her mother has put her through? What happens when all the secrets come out? Will they have each other or will they end up alone?

I loved these characters and the side characters. I felt I could connect with the characters and the story was a great read.

I recommend this book.

Sarah Robinson has done it again!!
Kane and Nora's story is just as amazing and the other Kavanaugh Brothers' stories! The obstacles and challenges that they have to overcome throughout the story have you rooting for them from the word go! And glimpses of everyone else's lives and they continue to live in their brother's pages are perfect!!
Cannot wait to see what she has in store for us next!!

I loved Kane...out of the brothers so far...he is my fav! Nora has tried to ignore Kane for some time, but Kane is hard to ignore, and the way Sarah writes her heroes why would you want to? Favorite of the series!

Kane is my favorite of the brothers and Nora is a great match for him. I felt for Nora with everything that went on with her mom and admired the way that Kane was there for her. I have loved the entire series great job Sarah Robinson.

I love reading about the Kavanagh family. This story finally tells us what happens with Kane and Nora. You will not be disappointed.

Kane “Killer” Kavanagh is training for an important fight, one that he has been working towards his whole life. Nora is Fiona’s best friend (you met her when she fell for Kieran). Nora is working on finishing her degree while working with at-risk youth and trying to keep everything on an even keel with her mom. These two have quite the journey to find each other, and you get to live the journey with them.

Great book and story. Loved getting to see previous characters re-appear. Another great installment to the Kavanagh series!!

Third installment of Kavannagh brothers. This one is about Kane, "the Killer".
Kane had one goal in his mind... He wanted to become MMA champion. That was biggest goal in life and only.
On his way to his championship he faces obstacles including his good frienemy Nora Hannigan.
Nora did not want complicated life and whenever Kane is around everything seems going bad. He has been picking arguments and they knew their chemistry is ready to burst.
After Nora's best friend and Kane's brother's bridal shower, Kane had to drive his cousin and Nora. He knew he couldn't hold it off any longer with Nora...
Both thought one night stand will work out for both... But nothing seems as one night.. Both had their eye on their goal and they didn't want relationship to complicate their lives.. However, nothing is easy for both. Nora was looking for love from her mother when only thing she is getting from her mother is when she pays for her gambling debt. When she barely makes her debt with scholarship and internship at the youth center, she gets another job in another town and faces Kane with his friends. When his friends makes fun of Nora, he couldn't keep his anger but Nora rescues anger with her punch instead of Kane.
Now, they need each other more than they realize. Their relationship is tested many times.. But Nora's mother
and his championship gets in the way..
Everyone in Kane's family is support of them but both will pull apart due to their circumstances... When his championship comes around, Nora's previous bookie decided to create problems for both..
Will Kane become like his brother Rory or will he be MMA champion and be happy with Nora??

I did enjoy all Kavannagh family stories. I can't wait to read the next one..

I enjoy Sarah Robinson books and this one was awesome!

This is Kane and Nora's story. Kane is a MMA fighter and has been flirting with Nora and she's been shooting down his advances. But, she has secrets. Will Kane continue to pursue her?

I enjoyed this book and Nora was my favorite character in this story!!

This is a great addition to a wonderful series. Bit more angst but I found myself devouring the pages to see where the journey too our characters.

I have loved Nora from the moment she was introduced. I liked her backstory, it gave her character so much depth and strength. Nora was a character I could easily relate to (except for the whole crazy bookie thing). Of course, like all his brothers, Kane was a hero. He came in and swept her problems away, but still gave her independence.

I liked that the relationship had a bit more authenticity to it. It took place over the course of almost two months, instead of days. Kane has always intrigued me, and I'm glad he ended up with someone like Nora.

I'm also super happy about the fact that we got to see the marriage of two other characters in this one.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. Both of the characters were well written, and the book was an easy read. It was well written and easy to get hooked on. But now I'm excited to see whose story we get next!
