Sage
Sage has it all. A dream job, a tight knit family, and a picture-perfect romance with Landon, the golden boy of professional basketball. He’s charming, loyal, treats her like royalty, and gives her the kind of love that she thought only existed in fairytales. She’s finally found her peace after a devastating heartbreak but peace doesn’t always mean passion. Just as she begins to trust the life she’s building, the past decides to crash head first into the present.
Brix, the man who once had her heart in a chokehold, is back. Handsome, brazen, and unapologetically irresistible, he’s every woman’s weakness and every man’s warning. His lifestyle cost him the only woman who ever made him want to stay, and now he’s ready to fight for what he’s lost.
As Brix reignites a flame Sage thought had long burned out, she becomes torn between the steady love she deserves and the wildfire that once scorched her soul. Cracks begin to form in her seemingly perfect union as secrets surface that could shatter everything. As she straddles between what is and what was, Sage must decide if she will stick to the rivers and lakes she’s used to or go chasing something wild, dangerous, and completely unpredictable.

Sage is… stressful 😂. She’s currently caught between 2 men that both have their flaws but love her deeply. She plays a bit of cat and mouse with them both and ultimately she has to make a decision. A nice quick read for a vacation plane ride.

For this book to work, I think the author should have made Brix more likeable, because I could not stand him and did not understand the appeal for Sage. The man ghosted her not once, not twice, but three times over the course of the book. He said she gave him the ick at one point because he was "afraid of love" because his mom left when he was young. He was like those scrubs who cheated because their grandma died. Like nigga. Don't nobody care about your mom leaving! Plenty of people have absentee parents and it didn't make them pieces of shit. Just some of the things he said in his POV gave ME the ick, and I was so disappointed that he is who Sage ended up with in the end. The book just didn't do enough to convince me that they were the soulmates Sage kept saying they were.
Landon wasn't a bad guy to me, but I understood how Sage felt about pegging him. Him wanting some butt play from time to time wouldn't have been a turn off for me, but that level of kinky sex is not for everyone, and I wish Sage would have just admitted that and left him instead of cheating on him, because it made me dislike her as much as I disliked Brix. And I can't stand women who get with men with demanding careers and then get mad that he's never around. She would be upset that Landon was always out of town, when it's like, he plays basketball for a living. Duh he's going to be going to different states all the time. Why get with him if that's not what you wanted? And when you realized that, why stay, instead of leaving him? Why cheat on him, and play in his face, instead of choosing yourself and taking some time alone? Yea, by the end of the book, I just couldn't stand her.
Plot aside, the writing in this book wasn't bad, but I do wish for more dialogue. There were huge chunks of the characters telling me what they felt, but it wasn't shown, and I think more dialogue would have worked to show the character's emotions better.
Will I read another book by this author..? Absolutely. Even though I couldn't stand Brix or Sage, the book was entertaining and I couldn't put it down.
