***INCLUDES THE ASHFORD CREEK PREQUEL CARELESS***

With one scowl, I fell just that much harder for Callum Ashford—NFL star turned small town brewer. He’s not only older, but he’s my brother’s best friend. Two very important reasons I should stay away.

Only two years ago, after the worst night of my life, he kissed me and I can’t keep him off my mind.

When the only house available to rent in town happens to be the one across the street from him, the close proximity does its work.

We can’t keep our hands off each other. Yet as the heat rises, so do feelings. He might want me, but he wants peace more.

There’s a darkness within him I know he fights. Just as there are secrets his family needs to uncover. But when the danger comes full force, it won’t be from the obvious corner. No, we both have our pasts we chose to hide.

And our fears.

Yet when I break, he catches me.

And I hope I have the strength to do the same.

**Legacy is an age gap, best friend’s little sister, small town romance and the first in the Ashford Creek series featuring Callum and Felicity. Each one can be listened to as a complete standalone. A HEA is guaranteed!**

This was my very first Carrie Ann Ryan book and I knew this was small-town romance but I wasn't expecting it to be so action packed. This one had a lot of elements that made this story bingeable. The sense of community & found family was terrific & I really loved both the main characters.

Two years ago, Felicity experienced one of the worst nights of her life. In trouble, she reaches out to her brothers best friend Callum for help. She's had a crush on him since she was a teenager and after Callum comes to her rescue, he can't stop thinking about her either.

A former NFL star, Callum has returned home, opened up his own brewery & settled on the fact that he's going to live life alone. He doesn't believe he's good enough for anyone, least of all Felicity but when he helps her find a new home right across the street from him, the feelings that these two have had for each other begin to bubble over.

They can't take their eyes off each other, keep their hands to themselves & soon a secret fling begins but the past comes knocking at their door and Callum is determined to protect Felicity no matter what.

Callum is so tortured over Felicity. Not only is she his best friends little sister but he's about 10 years older & just doesn't think he's good for her. Felicity sees nothing but good in him & the quiet acts of kindness he does for people. They begin sneaking around & it quickly becomes something serious. Event though these two finally give into one another & seem happy, the past creeps up. They are dealing with Callum's awful father & trying to figure out who is coming after them. It's fast paced & twisty.

The epilogue was as sweet as pie & we get a sneak peek into the next story. I will say, Carrie Ann can write the spice ya'll. Callum comes across as a man blocked off from love but once his lets his guard down, watch out! The man has a mouth on him to rival most!🥵

🎤Let's talk audio: Jason & Samantha are such a favorite pairing of mine and honestly I loved Jason in this. Callum is protective, grumpy & growly and Jason nails this every time. His bedroom talk had me blushing & checking my earbuds on the reg. Whew! Samantha is so talented. She's bright & delightful as Felicity. Her character is sweet, vulnerable & head over heels for Callum. She makes him want to be better & I really loved this about her. These two just never miss & are always a treat to listen to.

I really enjoyed this book. These two MC's show up for each other. There's a history between them that made this a story that was easy to get sucked into. It's a slow burn but the tension is thick and you're just screamin', "just make it official already!" Small town lovers will definitely enjoy this one & the added suspense.

Great beginning to a new series

Legacy by Carrie Ann Ryan is the start of a new series, Ashford Creek, and I really enjoyed listening to the audiobook. Narrated by Jason Clarke and Samantha Brentmoor, they brought Callum and Felicity to life for me. This is a small-town romance with age-gap and best friend’s sister. Callum is reserved and protective, even if he does not think he is good enough for Felicity. Felicity has always had feelings for Callum, but he has never seen her as anyting more than his best friend’s sister. Only one-night changes everything. But he knows he cannot be with her.

Years later, they are now neighbors and cannot seem to avoid each other. Though he wants to keep her at a distance, he is drawn to her and their chemistry is undeniable. Callum, however, deals with some insecurities about his father and what he deserves. He has helped raise his siblings and carries a lot of responsibilities. While Felicity sees Callum and sees what they can be together. Will they find their way to each other? This was a great start to a new series.

Happy listening!

Great start to a new series!

Oh I can’t wait for more about this town! I love Callum and his siblings, but if I am being honest, I also love the fact the Felicity’s brother is a hockey player. Felicity has moved back to town after college to find a job and start her life. Callum is so worried about turning into his father he knows he has to keep her at arms length. Plus Callum is her brother’s best friend. Ashford Creek is a small town full of single dads and it seems like a lot of secrets. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Is it getting hot in here?! Callum and Felicity’s age gap/ brother’s best friend romance had my heart racing for so many reasons. This new Ashford Creek series is off to a great start. Callum is the kind of guy you can’t help falling head over heels for. He’s the ultimate protector of the people he loves. Throw in the beard, piercings, and growly dirty talk and I was a goner. Jason Clarke and Samantha Brentmoor did a wonderful job bringing the characters to life. As always I love that the series crosses over, so I can catch up with old friends.

Great way to start the series

This was a really good listen. A few times, there was a twist that I didnt expect. Brothers best friend, age gap romance brewing and fighting it thinking it was taboo.
Jason Clark and Samantha Brentmore did amazing as always. I dont think either one of them ever does less than 100%.

A few twists I didn't expect
