3.5

Just like the first book this had that super cozy feeling that just wraps you up like a hug. Again, it has the Gilmore Girls feel! And just like the first book in terms of writing it’s very much the same. You don’t read these kinds of books for deep earth shattering prose. This is a cutesy easy to read cowboy romance through and through (trope-y and cliche but still fun). There are many things I loved about Swift and Saddled like the dynamic between Wes and Ada, the characters, the vibes. In some respect I enjoyed it even more than Done and Dusted. However in terms of story telling the pace was off and some of the big conflict moments happen way too late and are resolved too quickly for me.  Resulting in what felt like a super immature FMC and an ending that felt unearned in some regard. This story didn’t feel as cohesive to me in terms of plot so because of that I’m going to have to give Swift and Saddled a 3.5 ✨ I can’t wait for the next book in the series!
