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 character’s 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!

per my spreadsheet:

the ending of this book was closer to how friends should have ended. except for Ross sucks and Weston does not even a little bit

I liked this book so much more than the first one and the first one was pretty good. character dev was great, just about the right amount of conflict. bring on the next book.

spice 🌶 - a 4 🌶 spicy (romance.io scale)
length - just right
reading speed - read in 2 days
did it make me cry? - it frickin did.
