this was my first cowboy romance & lyla sage, you left no crumbs! 🤠

i looooved this book so so so much! i loved the chemistry between emmy & luke. he was sooo caring & so considerate of emmy - luke, you’re setting the bar HIGH. and the nickname sugar?? PLEASE 🥵

i also loved emmy & teddy’s friendship. teddy definitely had me loling at some of the stuff she said and did. she’s the unhinged bestie & i’m here for it!

i also loved the strong relationship that the ryder family had & how they swooped luke under their wing early on in his life. i love a good found family relationship. i also liked that we saw emmy reflect on this & how it made sense now the way that luke has always behaved growing up & now

i immediately want to start swift & saddled, but i’m going to try to wait a little bit since the third book doesn’t come out until november & we don’t have a date for the fourth book. buuuut we’ll see how that goes 🤣

also kicking myself for not having read a cowboy romance sooner??

YEEHAWWWWW 🤠
