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!!!

That said, I do tend to prefer my books on the angstier, more emotional side. I think exploring more of Wes’ depression would have fleshed out the story nicely. Likewise with Ada’s issues following her marriage: they certainly played a role but all was resolved very quickly (but how Wes handled her getting scared? Holy cow so sweet)
Like many I am still itching for Gus and Teddy’s story (I’m really hoping for Cade and Willa vibes from Heartless)
