ada hart is an interior designer thatโs looking to make some big life changes. the first step on this path is taking a job on rebel blue ranch to get her kickstarted into something great. she goes to the bar & meets a handsome cowboy, whom there are instant sparks with. but the next morning, sheโs not as excited about him when she realizes that this handsome cowboy is her new boss, weston ryder
โ
ada & wes were sooo cute together. i love how obsessed he was with her. he fell first & he fell HARD. it seems like all of the rebel blue ranch men are simps & i love it so so so much ๐คญ
adaโs anxiety was extremely well written. i love how her thought processes were written out - it felt realistic. i love that lyla sage includes these representations of disabilities/disorders in her books. i felt seen through both emmy (adhd) & ada (anxiety). wes was so patient with her & didnโt get frustrated with her at all. he did what he could to help her process her anxiety & feel secure. asking again - where can we find rebel blue ranch men irl?? ๐
ada is amazing at her job & her attention to detail ๐ค๐ฝ adding the touch of roses to the house to preserve the memory of their mom, stella, was sooo sweet & thoughtful. and when wes realized thatโs where they were from, it was such a fulfilling feeling. and it comes full circle with her own rose tattoos on her shoulder ๐ฅ
the fact that i have to wait until november for lost & lassooed? iโm sick ๐ฎโ๐จ
also fun fact: everytime i went to type swift & saddled, i almost typed swaddled bc of work ๐คฃ

After the first book of the series, this one disappointed me a little but in and of itself it was still cute and loveable

Review: Welp, it's official. I'm obsessed with Rebel Blue Ranch and with Lyla Sage. Picked up Done & Dusted on a whim based on some reviews I had seen on Bookstagram and I'm really glad I had the foresight to also recommend this one because I NEEDED to be able to read this one immediately after finishing the Done & Dusted.
And while I'll admit that Wes & Ada's story didn't pack as much of a punch for me as Emmy & Luke, it was such a slight difference in enjoyment I'm not even going to go into it. Both books were so fun and I continue to enjoy the characters, the family element, the settings, the romance/steam, and the plotlines. Absolutely solid series and I can't wait to for the next installment!!!

This was such a solid follow up to Done and Dusted! This one felt a little softer and sweeter, and I loved Wes and Ada together. The story was fast paced and an addicting read, but there was definitely room for a bit more detail when it came to each characterโs story. Regardless, bring on book three!! I need to read about Gus and Teddy NOW!

I really liked Ada and Wes together. They were really cute. I loved how patient and caring Wes was for Ada. The scene with him waiting at the border to come back KILLED ME. It was so damn sweet. He just KNEW she'd be back. I think I liked Brooks and Emmy's story more though. They were really funny (plus I have a thing for guys named Luke) and their relationship was hot from the get-go. What I'm REALLY looking forward to is Teddy and Gus though. That's going to END ME. I hope it's as good as I'm building it up in my head!
