Another sweet, low-angst cowboy romance. Wes was such a sweet cinnamon roll and I swooned every time he called Ada sweetheart
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)

There was quite a bit to love about this book.
The characters are well done and I love how communicative the main pairing eventually become to each other as the book progress as Ada and Wes are strangers at the beginning so it was nice to feel a slower, calmer, narrative of strangers becoming more in comparison to some past reads.
I am liking the way Sage writes as this is me second foray I to her series and I am loving Wes, the softer and generous cowboy. He is a different male lead then I've read before and it's a nice change as he's not just softer but is shown to be kind and amiable. I really don't believe he has a mean bone in his body kind of vibe but which I feel helps draw out Ada.
Ada who has gone through a really tough situation and had to save herself and feels like in doing so, has hidden herself or maybe rolled up so tight that she's not sure how to let go or let people in.
I'm a sucker for a softer man falling in love and I feel like Sage did that really well here.

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.

Westin Ryder, the man that you are <3 I loved this book just as much as Done & Dusted. I really liked the pairing of Ada and Wes — two people who are opposites but they balance each other out. And he is just so good to her with her fears and anxiety.
