Thank you Dial Press for the ARC. I will be back with a more coherent review but this is the BEST of the series so far!! Teddy and Gus forever have my heart. The hate to love was so so good and the addition of Riley, Gus's daughter, added so much life to the story, especially when she was meddling without realizing (twister). What I loved even more, was Teddy's special relationship with her father Hank. Their moments were so sentimental.

ONE MILLION STARS. A BILLION. A BAJILLION.

This book is ROCK fucking JASMINE! We've been waiting for Teddy and Gus from the get-go and Lyla Sage did not let me down. They're pure electricity together, nonstop bantering with a side of battery acid. And the transition from hate to love isn't as quick as other novels, which I quite enjoyed. This book made me tear up (no small feat). They were just so dang perfect for each other!!

Oh my god and the Twister scene? The mechanical bull? THE FLASHBACK??? It's hot as hell and I can't wait to listen to the playlist on repeat while I wait for Wild & Wrangled.

And the chapter for Dusty and Cam at the end? The way I screeeeeeamed!! My heart is not ready for Rebel Blue to end.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

I really enjoyed this book! It picked up a lot in the second and half, and I LOVED it! Teddy and Gus have a great story! Can't wait for the next book by Lyla Sage!

Such a lovely book. Honestly like, these surpass a normal romance novel with no plot and characters that don’t matter. This has become one of my favorites series & Lyla Sage is a fantastic author. I read all three of her books in anticipation for her coming to my store for an event in July and I am over-the-moon-excited to meet her. A true shame I don’t have this as a physical ARC because I would love to have her signature in all three.

I have been waiting for Gus and Teddy's book since I started the series. I also loved the bits about Teddy's dad. So good and I can't wait for the next one!

This book was so good I have a standing Mercari search for a Coach 9970 bag because I have a desperate need to *be* Teddy Andersen.

With no background in Lyla Sage's work, or in the Rebel Blue Ranch setting, I wasn't sure what I was getting into. What it turned out was: finding a new favorite author (and a new series to backread!).

Teddy and Gus mean the absolute world to me. As someone who grew up with a single parent, and was exposed to the... sometimes chaotic world of Adults Dating, when I found out Gus had a young daughter, I admit I was a bit nervous. It's always tough for me to see an Adults Dating situation with a young kid and feel positive about it, because it can so often bring turmoil to the child. The way that Sage depicted Teddy and Gus's relationship -- with each other, and with his sweet daughter -- brought tears to my eyes. Teddy and Gus come together because of their shared love for his daughter -- something so incredibly powerful and moving that this became one of my favorite romances... ever.

Sage does an absolutely expert job with this novel and I am SO excited that she has a backlist I can add to the top of my TBR. Thank you, Random House, for the opportunity to read and review an advanced copy, and for introducing me to an incredible author in Lyla Sage. Feel free to send a physical copy -- I'd truly cherish it forever.

In the much anticipated next installment in the Rebel Blue Ranch series follows Gus and Teddy, or as they call each other in annoyance August, and Theodora. Growing up on the same ranch, constantly circling and verbally fighting each other since Teddy could talk, the last thing an overworked dad Gus wants to do is allow Teddy to become his daughter's babysitter for the summer. But seeing each other in a new capacity makes them realize that they may not hate each other....

An excellent cowboy romance - it was exactly what I was looking for. Everyone’s favourite combination of enemies-to-lovers quips and tension with the tender sincerity of some heavy pining.

Lyla Sage's third installment of the Rebel Blue Ranch series is full of heart and charm. I fell for Teddy and Gus and loved the specificity of Teddy's relationships with Riley and Hank. Cam is a new favorite character and I can't wait for her adventure in book 4.

There's more depth to this book than meets the eye. The sexytimes are bodice-ripper quality, the characters are realistic, and descriptions make me feel like I'm right there in the story. This is the first book of Lyla Sage but I'm a devoted reader now. I can't wait to see what happens next at the Rebel Blue Ranch. Oh, and Wyoming is now in top spot for future vacation destinations...

So far I’ve really enjoyed this series. Although moments of this book felt rushed in comparison to the slow burn these two had in the b plot of other books, I had a great deal of fun and enjoyed reading this.

Dare I say this was my favorite book of the series!! I am obsessed with Teddy and Gus! They quickly became one of my favorite book couples ever! Their connection, banter, and tension is what did it for me! Highly recommend this book even if you haven’t read the rest of the series!

I was sooooo excited to read the next book in this stand-out series, and it did not disappoint! I was swept away into the characters' lives and romance, and now want a cowboy for my very own (Can you blame me? Lyla Sage writes the swooniest men!). This was an absolute delight and my favorite in the series so far! Run (or saddle your horse) and get thee to your book store and start this amazing series! You won't be sorry!

Lyla Sage has done it again! I thoroughly enjoyed her third installment to the Rebel Blue Ranch series and it might be my favorite yet. The banter between Gus and Teddy is amazing! Lyla knows what formula works and she continues to amaze me! Highly recommend!

I love the Rebel Blue series so much!!! Gus and Teddy are adorable. I’ve always said that reading Lyla Sage is like getting a big hug. Laughs, love, comfy feels, and family are all what make Rebel Blue superior!

Taking off a star because I do feel like Lyla’s books have become more and more formulaic as they continue. For some people, that makes them more comforting, but for me, I’d love to see her show her creativity a bit more!

Love!

Thank you!!

I think this one was my favorite of the Rebel Blue Ranch series, but I kind of knew it would be. The banter of August and Teddy was top tier in the other books, and this one brought it all full circle. I loved it!

*ARC Review*

This book was truly EVERYTHING I could’ve wanted and so much more. It’s no secret that I love Lyla Sage and everything she writes and this book was no exception. Rebel Blue and all of the characters in this books feel like home, there’s something so comforting about these books that genuinely makes me so happy. I loved how unapologetic herself Teddy is and I love how Gus was grumpy yet sweet. They were two characters that had so much baggage and responsibility and when they learned to lean on each other it was PERFECTION. The way they went from thinking the other person was annoying and loud to only being able to let down their guard around each other had me screaming and kicking my feet.
Riley, Hank, Amos, Emmy basically all the side characters make this story feel so real and magical. Additionally Teddy and Hank’s dynamic made this book so emotional and tender I loved it. I can’t wait to read Dusty and Cam’s story and I loved all the little hints of them throughout this book.

I do blame my addiction for cowboy romances on Lyla Sage and after reading this one I can safely say I will forever be addicted. If you want to read a romance book that feels like coming home with lovable characters this is the perfect one.

This book is a great addition to the Rebel Blue Ranch Series. It follows Gus and Teddy's love story as they shift from antagonistic acquaintances to much more than that. After Gus recognizes his need for support with his daughter and managing his family's ranch he turns to, recently unemployed, Teddy to act as a part-time nanny for the summer. With the influx of quality time the couple shares, feelings blossom and they begin to question their previous dislike for each other and Teddy's limited time on the ranch with Gus and his family.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. It was a great romance novel with moments of depth. Lyla Sage's writing adds a sense of realism to Gus and Teddy's story and dialog. It is a very fast-paced novel but by the end, you can not help but root for the happiness of the characters. Lost and Lassoed fits nicely with the other books in the series with a balance between humor, romantic tension, and real-life issues the characters must face before reaching their happily ever after. After reading this book readers will be able to see themselves in or relate to any of the characters and fall in love with Rebel Blue Ranch all over again.
