I feel like Swift and Saddled was written for me. Sure, it was a romance, but it was so much more than that. Ada was someone I wholeheartedly identified with β€” I've never been the girl with girlfriends to do fun things with or have girls' nights. So, watching Ada's character grow through the story gave me hope that my girls are out there waiting for me. I may need to take a trip to a ranch in Wyoming, but they're there.

Speaking of Ada's character growth, I loved watching her evolve from the cynical, lonely, controlling person to the woman the book showed. I was so happy I could've had another 100+ pages of Ada and Wes' story.

And then there's Wes - he is my new favorite book boyfriend. He is truly the King of Consent, and I love how much he adored Ada, but he also respected her. Without giving anything away, there's a scene towards the end of the book involving the town line, and it brought me to tears because his love for her felt so pure. Have I mentioned that I needed more of their story?

❀️ Cowboy romance
πŸ₯Ή Found family
✌🏼 Dual POV
🀩 So much more than a romance
πŸ‘πŸΌ No third-act breakup
β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή Male mental health representation


I can’t recommend reading Swift and Saddled enough. It is part of the Rebel Blue Ranch series, so I recommend reading Done and Dusted first, or you will miss out on some of the backstory.
