At the Drexian Academy, there are few rules. As a Blade instructor, Kann prefers pushing limits to following regulations. But he knows better than to fall for a cadet. That's why he is only friends with Britta, a human cadet and brilliant engineer. It's also why he agrees to help her when she develops a crush on a visiting Taori scientist.
He can't explore his feelings for her, but he can teach the bookish cadet everything he knows about the art of seduction. But with each tantalizing tip and sensual strategy, the line between practice and reality blurs. As much as he finds himself falling for Britta, she sees him as only a friend and teacher. Or does she?
As they work together to protect the Drexian Academy and mount a rescue mission for a missing pilot, their secret lessons spark a fire that threatens to consume them both--and put the mission at risk. Will they break the rules or let themselves be broken apart?

Review: Legend is book four in Tana Stone's Warriors of the Drexian Academy series, and closely follows books one (Legacy), two (Loyalty) and three (Legend). Even if each book has a different set of main characters, the story flows from one to the other and there are shared points-of-view from the previous books' characters, so they are not easy to read as stand alones.
In this series I loved the first two books, not so much the third one. I'm very happy to say that I really like fourth installment too. Not so much for the romance between Kann and Britta (which felt like a mix between more of the same and too much instant love) but more for the originality of having most of the story developing within a holo-simulation (any chance of some of those characters becoming real?) and for the background plot overlapping the four books so far (the rescue of an Earth pilot captured by the enemy). This was the first book so far where I felt really invested in this rescue mission and all that it entails, and I can't wait to see what happens in book 5 of the series.
Happy readings,
