Though given a second chance, Kieran’s simply going through the motions—until he meets one very special kid, Shea Doherty, and falls hard for her very beautiful, very grown-up big sister, Fiona. The trouble is, Kieran’s best opening moves are getting him nowhere fast.Fiona Doherty has too many responsibilities to fool around, especially now that she has custody of Shea.

As Fiona spends more time with Kieran, she starts to see a softer side of the reckless warrior.

Michel’s Review
The Kavanagh Family is nationally known for their MMA training, gym, and fighters. Their name is legendary in the sport. Their reputation was golden until one blemish by Kieran Kavanagh left a black mark on their name. He was involved in the underworld of illegal fights and was prosecuted. It has taken the family two years to recover from that black mark and the end of Rory Kavanagh’s fighting career. Now they have a new upcoming champion, Kane Kavanagh, Kieran’s identical twin. Along with the intense training for the upcoming fight they are also facing Kieran’s release from prison. The Kavanagh’s are a very tight family with a huge capacity to forgive, support, and love fiercely. They are also compassionate of others outside their family circle.
***
Saving A Legend begins with Kieran’s release from prison. He has been behind bars for two years and is being released early for good behavior. The conditions of his release are steady employment, community service, and probation. He’s grateful to be out of prison. He’s looking forward to being with his family again. He’s remorseful of his crime and vows to take the straight and narrow road. He’s a changed man. He’s ready for a second chance to make a good , honest life for himself. First he will have to gain back the trust of his family, earn forgiveness from his brothers, and prove he’s worth the effort.
***
He’s slowly finding his place in the world. His brother Rory has reluctantly gotten him a construction job. He’s doing his community service at a local youth center for “at risk” kids. He’s also met a beautiful, young florist that he wants to get to know better. The only problem is that Fiona is not interested. She refuses to accept a date with him.
***
Destiny has put them in each other’s path. Fiona is the legal guardian for her younger autistic sister, Shea. Kieran has unknowingly befriended Shea at the youth center. He has a special connection with Shea and can reach her in ways others cannot.
***
When Fiona and Shea find themselves homeless, the Kavanagh family steps in and brings them into the fold. This is the perfect opportunity for Fiona and Kieran to explore their passion and growing friendship. It’s an opportunity for them to have more in their lives. They are both keeping secrets. Kieran is hiding his past. Fiona is one step away from losing custody of Shea. Being involved with Kieran could be the final straw that breaks her guardian rights. Kieran has vowed not to let that happen and needs to come clean. Fiona has to let go of her fears, her dark past, and learn to trust. Shea is happy with the Kavanaghs. The Kavanaghs are fighters… they fight for what is theirs. Shea and Fiona are now their family.
***
Saving A Legend was more than a love story. It was a story of compassion, family strength, forgiveness, and acceptance. Sarah Robinson did a magnificent job creating Shea’s character. She also did not give Kieran and Fiona an easy path. They both had very real problems that were portrayed in a very realistic way.
***
I love the Kavanagh family. I can’t wait to see what comes next. Their lives are legends in the making.
