When she came to, Kady was in the dusty western town of Legend, Colorado--where a hanging was about to commence!

Wow! I cannot believe this book was published. After a need for something Outlander-ish I decided to give this a try. What a disappointing mess! The story is fractured, odd and extremely flawed. Kady the protagonist is a pathetic young woman with serious self esteem issues who is vapid, boring and unappealing. How anyone fell for her let alone a nine year old ghost boy she marries or the great great great grand nephew of said ghost boy baffles me. Kady brought nothing to the table save forThis book started out pretty good, then it into the 'why is this even necessary' territory, and then the lst third of it ws just stupid, useless crap (So stupid. Especially everything to do with C. T. 'Tarik' Jordan. He wouldn't even count as well-thought-out if he only made a cameo appearance as a stableboy let alone the leading man. And Kady just seemed to change character whenever the author needed.). I was not horrified. It wasn't as bad as some of Deveraux's other works, but it also wasn't
A great travel romance! Kady Long, a celebrated chef buys an old tin box and discovers a wedding dress. She tries it on and is transported back in time. She meets Cole- an adorable man Kady could easily love under normal circumstances if he hadn't died at age 9. Cole Jordon's family needs Kady to right past wrongs with the help of Tarik, Cole's great-great-great grandson she might be able to save Cole and the small town of Legend.
This book was a disjointed mess that left a logical minded person in search of romance more than a little frustrated. While Cady is a well-developed and likable protagonist, there are fundamental problems with both Cole and Tarik. Many of the interactions between Kady and Cole feel largely inappropriate given the later reveal of Cole's age. His physical interactions with Kady as well as his wisdom and insight grow more and more impossible at the plot of the book develops. Moreover, while Tarik
This book was a pure entertainment read. Yes there was some plot points that were questionalable but there were also significant plot points that I did not expect and thoroughly enjoyed. Overall pretty dang good book.
I am a huge fan of Jude Deveraux. I love her dialogue, her witty characters, and the situations those characters get into. However, "Legend" was a little off beat for me. Time travel is always a little difficult for a writer I think, since there are so many outcomes you have to consider, and the chance that it may confuse the reader. In "Legend" Kady long is a wonderful chef who is not appreciated by her future mother-in-law and even her future husband, but Kady convinces herself that she is
I first read this book well over ten years ago, and I remember being glued to it. I think it's safe to say my tastes have evolved since then. I still found the book to be entertaining, and JD's brand of romantic fairy tale style storytelling still put a smile on my face, but it was much easier for me to set the novel down this time around. And the plot holes! A lot of it completely defied any logic. So, I'm giving it a 2.5. It was enjoyable, but flawed.
