I read "Swift and Saddled" as soon as I finished "Done and Dusted," and I’m happy to say it didn’t disappoint!

While I did love the intro to the Blue Rebel Ranch series a bit more than its sequel, Wes and Ada were a delight to follow. Their Black Cat x Golden Retriever dynamic is a tale as old as time, and their chemistry was stronger than a double at the Devils Boot!

I do wish the book had focused a little more on Wes’s battle with depression, as this aspect of the story fell to the side compared to Emmy’s journey with ADHD. The third act was also faster than I expected, but I didn’t mind this too much since I was too busy having a good time in Meadowlark to worry about more conflict.

If you enjoyed "Done and Dusted," be sure to grab "Swift and Saddled" at your favorite local bookstore!
