Review: Gage

Gage by Katherine Garbera
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Gage Powell's older brother Marty died in the bull-riding ring. An aspiring bull-rider himself, he left the USA and went to work on the oil rigs in Scotland after his father made it clear that he wished Gage had died instead. Now, years later his father has Alzheimer's and Gage has returned as a rookie to try to get his father's approval one last time. The only trouble is, his father thinks he's Marty.

Sierra Montez is trying to make her name in the family denim business. Montez Denim sponsors and promotes the rookies on the AEBR circuit and she has been half in love with Gage ever since he first joined the circuit all those years ago. Can they parlay one night of passion into a relationship?

I liked this but I didn't love it. The sex to plot ratio seemed a bit off (too much of the first and not enough of the latter) and I found myself a bit lost as to why Gage pushed Sierra away and WHO knew that his father confused him with Marty (and why it made any difference anyway) and there seemed to be a miracle transformation at the last second. Also, Gage kept saying that Sierra had pushed him away, or walked away, when as far as I could see it was him that did those things not her.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
