This is the first book in a complete new and different series by the amazing Sam Crescent. The Denton’s are a crime family have their fingers in every pie imaginable and rule with an iron fist. They are considered firm but fair by all and feared when needed to be. They are bad men all over the world the Dentons are worse than some but better than others, they do have some morals and a code that they live and operate by. The head of the family Maddox runs the city and controls the Denton empire supported by his wife Charlotte who is a strong woman in her own right. She would need to be able to look after herself being married to the crime lord of the Dentons, and be the mother to the six sons she shares with Maddox and one young daughter Tamsin. The eldest of the six brothers is Jacob and he along with Abel, Oliver, Gideon and Damian run the city on the orders of their father. Their youngest brother Landon will join the family business when he is of age and finishes high school. Aside from all their criminal activity their family is famous due to its unusual legacy that happens to each and every male of the Denton Line. Some would call it a blessing others a curse but it is only something that they can experience. When they find the woman meant to be theirs they just know without a doubt that she is he one for them, all thought and reason and interest of any other female falls away. But it is not a two way street as Jacob our first brother soon learns when the legacy hits him and he meets his woman the beautiful Louisa / Lou and she definitely does not feel the same way and makes it quite clear. All Lou has in her life is her twin brother Riley, her family are awful and only concern themselves with greed. Jacob has a real task on his hands with Lou but he soon realises just how special she is, Lou may be feisty at first but she has a sweeter side and softness that calls to Jacob. All of this soon changes his mind and shows him how the legacy is the most wonderful gift in the world. The chemistry Lou and Jacob share is delicious and their characters are well written and show feeling, humour and an array of other emotions. The camaraderie displayed by the brothers is great and their banter is as you would expect of a group of brothers. Jacob is a true possessive alpha male and I loved reading this story so very much. How his relationship with Lou blossomed was so enjoyable. I have and would re-read this book again and again and cannot recommend it highly enough. I cannot wait to see the other brothers fall as they find their soulmates. Happy Reading! Disclaimer - I received an Arc of this book for my honest review and that is what I have given. 5 Stars Given
