I’M feeling homesick now that I’ve finished Swift and Saddled. There’s just something about Lyla’s writing that draws you in and makes you feel all warm and cozy. Rebel Blue really does make you think of 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦.

Their individual struggles are so relatable, and I love that they communicate openly about them to each other throughout the book. Because of this, their love story felt authentic. 

This book had me laughing and swooning. The golden retriever x black cat vibes fit Wes & Ada perfectly and I will definitely be thinking about them for awhile. Can I book a reservation to stay at Baby Blue? 

Welcome home to Rebel Blue.
