Sage was introduced in Lena's story, and though appearing only briefly, is very captivating. She is a sympathetic kind of heroine, and I really liked her; I loved the aspects about her being a daredevil, though I wish this had been expounded upon. I wanted there to be a confrontation when she is caught doing a race, or for her to get hurt, face consequences, and address her issues, but that never really happens. She has some pretty powerful introspection towards the beginning about why she endangers herself, and I wanted to see her character grow with this, but it gets a big skimmed over once the sex starts.This might be a personal preference more than anything, but I wish there was one less guy. I felt Dale was excessive, and the guys really didn't get a fair chance at getting characters developed further than the alpha male stereotype.This is getting to be a bit of a pet peeve of mine, but all of Dixie Lynn Dywer's heroines are overly busty, and it gets brought up a lot. While not every book should have a reed slim heroine, and it is heartening to embrace curves and extra weight, it does not feel right for them to be all curvy and insinuating that that is what sex appeal is, and all other women be d****d. It is also part of why her heroines can be a bit cookie cutter. I like when the characters have a conversation, and I could get an idea of who was talking without being told, or thinking that one character would react differently than another, which isn't the case here.That being said, Sage is still my favorite of the heroines, and this book is the best so far. The author is clearly getting better at writing with each story. I look forward to reading more by her in the future.
