Wicked Little Darling (Legacy Book 1)

"I was watching myself disappear, one moment at a time, and there was no one there to reach for me, no one to save me." "Looks like he caught himself a tiger. Or maybe I did. Is finders keepers still a thing? 'Cause I found you first." "That blush looked so pretty on him, and I wanted to lick it. Bite it. Kiss it. Rub my face all over his." "I was fifteen when I learned what true pain was. True pain was love. I wasn't strong. Not at all. I just refused to break completely." "Were his lips just as soft? Softer? His mouth was filled with barbed words, and I wanted to kiss him, and find out if his lips were just as stinging." "He was beautiful, in every sense of the word. Strange and endearing and...beautiful." "Why are you on the bed with me?" "So I could feel your heartbeat." "Don't be so nice to me. Don't make me feel these things. Don't keep proving me wrong. Don't go." "I saved your life, so that makes you mine." "He was like a little pocket demon I wanted to carry around with me everywhere." "I like the night so much because it gives me the version of yourself that you've been fighting so hard to hide. It gives me you." This book was amazing and phenomenal. Everything I have read by this author has been fantastic. This is probably my favorite story by her, but it's so hard to choose. This was an emotional story filled with so much trauma and grief. Two broken boys coming together to heal and just be seen 😭. These boys held my heart. I felt so many emotions…

This was amazing absolutely precious I love Reese and Dakota soooo much characters like Dakota will always be my absolute favorite and i loved their relationship so much I’m so happy I found this and red it!!!

This was so good! It made me smile, cry, laugh, I loved it!

I have tears in my eyes and rolling down my cheeks. These two broke me. I love when an author can pull on all my emotions and Lyla has definitely done that. The sadness I felt for both Reese and Dakota was intense but the love now that was insane. They fell hard for each other, flaws and all. I will say this, I want more of Val. I want him too get his HEA as well. This is one of my favorites for 2025. 🖤🔥🎻🔥🖤 My favorite quotes from Dakota: • I wasn’t sure exactly what it was about him that had caught my attention so thoroughly, but I hadn’t been able to get him out of my head since that first day at the cemetery. • He was like a little pocket demon I wanted to carry around with me everywhere.

I can not say how much I love Dakota! That man was pure sunshine, rainbows and golden retriever energy all pack in one beautiful package! Don't get me wrong I love Reese too, our little black cat was grieving still after 10 years and I enjoyed that this was slow burn and Lyla really showed the whole healing journey for him! This book takes on healing from a traumatic events so perfectly and showing that how different people's journeys are and even after all you deserve to be loved. *SPOILER* I was extremely happy when “the villain" got what was coming to him. The muck drop at the end 😘🤌🏼
