I admit that I expected a bit more from what, so far, remained the most anticipated book in the series. With further developments it is clear that there will be another, but the love-hate story between Gus and Trudi had caught my attention (and not only mine) from the first book. Clearly it was not easy to please all expectations so I will just say that it was an enjoyable book, but I hoped for more.

Ammetto che mi aspettavo un po' di piú da quello che, fino ad ora, restava il libro piú atteso della serie. Con gli sviluppi ulteriori é chiaro che ce ne sará un altro, ma la storia di amore odio tra Gus e Trudi aveva attirato la mia attenzione (e non solo la mia) dal primo libro. Chiaramente non era facile accontentare tutte le aspettative quindi mi limiteró a dire che é stato un libro piacevole, ma speravo in qualcosa di piú.

I received a complimentary advanced digital review copy from the publisher, in exchange for a honest review.

I don’t know what Lyla Sage puts in her books, but they’re the most addictive books on the planet. There’s something so special about being able to return to Rebel Blue.

Following on from previous books in the Rebel Blue series, Lost and Lassoed follows grumpy rancher, Gus, his hilarious six year old Riley, and sunshine incarnate Teddy. After years of bickering, Gus needs Teddy’s help, and well, the slow-burn enemies become lovers.

Like with every book in this series I devoured it in one go as I could not put it down. I swooned, I welled up and I fell in love with all the characters.

I’m so glad there’s going to be more books to come, too.

Huge thanks to NetGalley and Quercus Books for the ARC.

I’ve been waiting for this book since reading Done + Dusted and I was not disappointed! Geddy has been simmering away for 2 books and I’m so happy they got their story 🔥 I also loved seeing more of Riley, Cam, Hank et al and the rest of the Rebel Blue fam, I’ve grown attached to them all.

I’ve since reread both Done + Dusted and Swift + Saddled, twice. I know it will be the same for Lost + Lassoed too, I’ve preordered the book + audiobook already, and November 5th can’t come soon enough! Mark your calendars 🤠 💚✨

Thank you so much to Quercus + NetGalley for making my year, twice! and allowing me the opportunity to read an ARC long before the book is out, it will NEVER get old. Lost and Lassoed is out on 5th November 2024, giddy up! #LostAndLassoed #NetGalley

Just as good a the rest. The development of Teddy and Gus is really enjoyable to read. Will definitely continue the series.

*Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.*

Just like many others I was very excited for Gus and Teddy's story. An enemies-to-lovers journey through forced proximity, mixed in with the single dad and grumpy/sunshine tropes, their story was extremely fun and very satisfying. Again, a fairly angst free story with just enough drama to make the tension and plot work.
After only seeing both of their characters from other people's perspectives, it was great to finally get in each of their heads. They're complex people who appear in very specific ways from the outside, and their coming together works incredibly well. It was also great to see so much more of Riley, and Gus' friendship with Cam.
It was just such an enjoyable read. I love this series a lot.

If i could smootch the author I would.

Thank you for giving Teddy and Gus the story and love they deserve. Thank you for creating a wonderful story full of giggles and delight.
I wanna bathe in the mountains and the valleys and ride a horse (fun fact I once had to call 911 because my mom fell off a horse (she was fine))
Anyway please do yourself a favor and read this wonderful book.

I just knew Teddy and Gus would be my favourite from the first interaction we saw in Done and Dusted! I'm a sucker for a single girl dad, and Riley was so cute!
Another absolutely great addition to the Rebel Blue Ranch series. I cannot wait for more with Wild and Wrangled

Lost and Lassoed by L. Sage, published by Quercus Books, is the third stand alone in the Rebel Blue Ranch Series.
The book can easily be read as a stand alone, anyway, for best reading experience I recommend to read the books in order. And yes, there are a few cross-overs, the reader'll meet characters from previous books.
The previous books are Done and Dusted, Emmy and Luke's story; and Swift and Saddled, Ada and Wes' story.
Now it's Teddy and Gus' turn.
Both are total opposites, like oil and water, fire and gasoline - an explosive mixture when provoked. The single dad takes care for the family ranch, was always the reliable one who everyone can lean on. And Teddy rubs him the wrong way since the first time he met her when his little sister Emmy brought her home. That's the tricky thing, Teddy is Emmy's best friend and Gus is her big brother. Put the adorable sprite sidekick Riley in the mix and you get the perfect read to snuggle up with on a couch under a cozy blanket.
I recommend the book and the series, they deserve all the stars.

This book was the one I was most excited to read this year. I had high expectations for it, and I have to say that Lyla exceeded them.

This story is much more than I could have imagined.

Gus and Teddy are characters I've been in love with since Done and Dusted. When we were first introduced to them and found out they didn't get along, I thought, "This is going to be my favorite couple."

The story developed beautifully, and I felt it was natural. Even though the book isn't very long, I think everything happened at the right pace. The connection they have is incredible. As they get closer, they realize they are everything the other needed. They see each other, and I also think they bring a sense of calmness to each other's lives.

Beyond them, I think all the relationships in the book are heartwarming. I love the positive relationship between Gus and Cam, the fatherly relationship between Gus and Riley (Riley is amazing), and Teddy and Hank.

This book totally won my heart. And August Ryder, the man you are! I don't want to say anything that could be a spoiler, but to me, he's the definition of a passionate man.

I read it in a few hours and was sad when it ended. This book has made it to my all-time favorites list.

Thank you so much, NetGalley and Quercus Books, for sending me this ARC.

Loved getting Teddy and Gus’ story. The relationship she develops with Riley is so lovely, and you get a good understanding of why both characters are how they are!

Thoroughly recommend!

I LOVED this! So heartfelt and lovely, the relationships were such a brilliant continuation of the previous books in the series. Often with enemies-to-lovers, there is a lack of believability, but I really enjoyed the development between Gus and Teddy.

The setting, as always, was dreamy. I cannot wait for Cam’s story!

I so love this series and so couldn't wait for this story. These hate to love relationships are one of my most favourite and this was simply so sweet. Lyla left us hanging with preview of WILD and WRANGLED tho which I think will be best story of this series so far.
This book was simply awesome.

Lyla Sage gets better and better! This book was a incredible! I totally loved it - Gus and Teddy have my whole heart. The chemistry, the care and the love galloped off the pages. The hair wash scene in particular was incredible! I can't wait for the next book.

The third book was even better than the first two books! If you are a fan of great banter, enemies-to-lovers, or cowboys, you have to read this book!

I love this series so much. This was absolutely my most anticipated read - and it absolutely delivered! I loved Teddy and Gus and their slow realisation that they’re crazy about each other. 5 stars!!

I was so excited for book 3 and it definitely didn’t disappoint!

The banter the romance the spice was just perfect , the plot and story line was great keeps you interested and wanting to know more!

4.25 ⭐️ Lyla has done it once again! I’ve been obsessed with this series since I started it, and have been patiently waiting for Teddy and Gus’s story 🤠 I really love single dad romance books, but this is one of my favourites. Riley just made the story that much better, what a sweet girl 🩷 I also loved seeing how well Gus and Cam co-parented, and how they both just want each other to be happy. The book was quite short, but the banter, tension and pacing was great! I am VERY excited for Cam and Dusty’s story next ✨

GUS RYDER THE MAN THAT YOU ARE

ever since i read D&D last summer i knew that gus and teddy were gonna deliver and deliver they did! im a sucker for enemies to lovers and these two have been at each others throats for the last two books so i knew that i was gonna eat up this one!

loved the way lyla has written this book and also appreciate that the “conflict” towards the end didn’t have anything to do with the couple and was such a breath of fresh air story telling wise as ive read my fair share of romance novels and the third act breakup can get a little stagnant at times.

i also loved Teddy. i could relate a lot to her and how she cares for her dad and feels like people lean on her and her dynamic with emmy. basically i just feel teddy anderson in my SOUL.

i devoured this in less than a day i’m not ready for this series to end

Thank you to Netgalley and Quercus Books for sending me this arc to review

probably my fave out of all 3!! 😭 i LOVED teddy and gus.
ngl i felt really really connected to teddy, she was so so well written and such a realistic character, i love seeing that in books since it’s not that usual

With every new instalment I fall in love with this series more and more. Lyla Sage creates such compelling characters.

Teddy and Gus love to hate each other, but with a forced proximity twist and a six year old who cannot get any more adorable they are about to drop the act and realise how deep they really feel for each other.

Teddy’s dad gets better with every book as well, him and Amos are my favourite side characters. If one of them doesn’t get their own book I will be so upset.

And the sneak peek at Wild and Wrangled!!! Are you kidding? Cam and Dusty are my most anticipated so far. If you ever need someone to help promote these books I will already be screaming it from the mountaintops.
