This book was phenomenal. The narrators really brought it to life in the best way. I loved the meet cute. I loved the way Ada and Wes opened up to each other. I loved their chemistry and passion. I loved the mental health representation. I loved how supportive they were of each other's dreams. I loved how the side friendships evolved. I loved everything about this book.

HEA 
He falls first
No third act break up (just a sweet come to realize she doesn’t want to give him up moment) 

A cute caring, gentle and so loveable cowboy and a black cat emotionally traumatised interior designer who get a sweet happily ever after. Lyla sage always writes such sweet, heartwarming, caring and just genuinely good romances. I always know I will get good characters, good story and lots of sweet kick your feet moments.

Only complaint
you are telling me we only get a couple sentences about the baby blue reveal? I wanted more Amos reaction moments but I get why she only did a little section.

Perfect sequel to Done and Dusted! Better than DND if I may say. 

I loved Ada and Wes so much that I read this book in a week! 
Audiobook was stunning and I fell in love even more with the town of Meadowlark. 

Ada is a big city gal looking for her big break to do more work in her field of interior design and working on a huge project for the Rebel Blue Ranch is the perfect opportunity to flex more of her talent. Only true obstacle  is she didn't think  her boss to be the charming cowboy she just meet in the local bar and can't stop day dreaming about.  
Wes Ryder is the middle Ryder and has spent his entire life looking for his place in the families legacy, he decides that blazing his own path is the only way to do it which means no getting distracted by his heart or the painfully familiar tug Ada seems to have on it. 

I think the character were even more fleshed out and brought to life in this book. I related to Ada so much I found myself annotating and crying at times. 
Also Wes's relationship with his depression and how he treats and talks about it was BEAUTIFUL. 

Tropes:
Small town 
forced proximity
work place-ish romance
 Big city girl small town boy 
Black cat/ golden retriever
Anxiety rep 
Depression rep 

This is a 10/10 in my book

This book felt like a warm hug after a hard day. I’m booking my summer vacation to Baby Blue immediately so I can get more of Wes and Ada’s adorably soft relationship! My only complaint is that I wish it was longer…but I’ll just have to (impatiently) wait for the next book!

Thank you NetGalley & Random House for the ARC!!
