I don't know how each book in this series gets better every time but Lyla has hit it out of the park yet again!
This book made me laugh, well up with tears and had such heartwarming moments that it's hard not to love it.
For now, Gus and Teddy are my favourite couple but knowing what's in store for Dusty and Cam... It might not be for long
Thank you for the ARC, I can't wait to read more 🥰

I have been salivating for this book ever since Done and Dusted so I was so excited to see how Teddy and Gus would play out!
I love that Lyla doesn’t put in 3rd act miscommunication tropes and that all her MMC’s actually communicate how they are feeling and don’t play games.
Gus was the sexy grumpy single dad cowboy and Teddy was the fiery sassy redhead who also happens to be his little sisters best friend. The tension has been there throughout the series with the little breadcrumbs we got of them in the first two books.
I love a nanny and single dad trope so I loved that forced proximity / roommates aspect to this story as it always delivers some sexy but also sweet moments of connection.
The way Gus learned to open up more and Teddy realised she was deserving of that love was so sweet.
I am so ready for the next in the series as it’s always fun to be in Rebel Blue!
Cowboy / sisters best friend ✔️
Single dad / nanny trope ✔️
Forced proximity / roommates ✔️
No miscommunication ✔️
Spice 🌶️🌶️

We’re so back!! This was the antidote I needed to my slump with book 2. Small town, single dad cowboy, dislike to lovers perfection. I think this makes the most sense as the follow up to Emmy’s book, but I also like that we ultimately got to sit with these characters for a bit longer as their story came together. Side note- my favourite cover so far.

I love this series of books. There are fun, short and cute. Since book one I´ve been waiting for this one, and have an arc of this was amazing. I don't want to talk so much about the sinopsis because for me it contains so much informacion that is nor relevant, If you like the other two books in the series, you are gone love so much this one. Highly recommend.

The story follows a young woman who, after a series of life challenges, finds herself in the middle of nowhere, literally lost in the wide open spaces of ranch country. Enter the cowboy hero, a rugged, capable, and emotionally complex rancher who is dealing with his own set of struggles. Their paths cross in a way that feels both serendipitous and inevitable, leading to a slow-burn romance that keeps the reader invested until the very end.
The characters are well-developed and relatable, with just enough flaws to make them human, but plenty of charm to keep readers rooting for them. The protagonist’s journey of self-discovery is particularly compelling, as she learns to trust again and opens herself up to love after experiencing loss. The chemistry between the main characters is palpable, with moments of tension that build up to a satisfying and heartwarming conclusion.

Perk of being a librarian: getting to read the 3rd book in a series that has me in a chokehold before it’s even published! Lost and Lassoed will be released Nov 5, 2024.
I thought nothing could top Done and Dusted but holy moly, Gus and Teddy have run away with my heart! I adored every second of this enemies to lovers romance, from the witty banter to the heartwarming moments. Sage perfectly balances the topics of love, family, and friendship in such a thoughtful way, with the spice as the cherry on top. ❤️🔥 Do yourself a favor and ask your local librarian to order this book and the rest of the Rebel Blue Ranch series for the collection!

Though not my favorite in the Rebel Blue Ranch series, I really enjoyed Lost and Lassoed. Both Teddy and Gus were great, complex characters. I really felt for Teddy and her feeling that her friendship with Emmy had changed. Gus and Teddy both annoyed me at times, but I loved watching their relationship grow and change throughout the book. Overall, I would give this book 4 stars, and I can’t wait to read more by Lyla Sage.

3.5⭐️
Mi problema fue que tenía mis expectativas por las nubes y no las cumplió, no es malo, pero no fue lo que esperaba. Me gusto y estuvo entretenido
Intentaré no dar spoilers:
La relación se dió muy apresurada, le faltó desarrollar mas para que se viera que los sentimientos se daban de forma natural.
Hay algo que sigue en incógnita y espero que se trate en el libro de Cam. Me imagino que no se dijo como es que Gus y Cam terminaron teniendo a Riley para dar a entender que él no tiene sentimientos por Cam más que amistad, sin embargo, no entiendo como esa amistad resultó en un embarazo si él sabía lo de Dusty.
Spoilers ⚠️ ⚠️
Creo que la razón por la que no lo disfrute como creía que lo haría fue por lo que pasó 7 años atrás y ha esto le sumamos que la hija de Gus tiene 6 años, lo que significa que esos dos acontecimientos se dieron prácticamente juntos y es muy fácil llegar a una conclusión (la cual no diré hasta que salga el libro) que me dejó enojada.
Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

easily the best in the series so far, this book is so worth it from the build up from the previous two books and i think thats what makes it so good, their chemistry and history is my favourite and the writing!! the characters have so much more depth in my opinion and im so excited for the final wrap up of this series.

I adore this series. The love between the families and friends is beautiful. It shows the ups and downs of friendships and relationships changing. They're such a fun girl gang. The way this book was a love letter to incredible dads made me tear up. The dedication to Lyla's dad at the end tipped me over the edge. Actually, that's a lie I definitely cried earlier at some of the Hank and Teddy scenes. Their relationship is just so beautiful.
This book was everything I hoped for and more. Gus & Teddy are the perfect enemies to lovers. Their acidic banter and love for riling each other up is hilarious. I loved that it was a slower burn of enemies to friends to lovers but they never lost the ability to wind each other up. The perfect level of sweet and spicy. It was fun to finally find out why they fight so much as well. I was also a huge fan of that last bar scene and how Gus accepts Teddy for who she is without it affecting his masculinity.
I wanted to give both Teddy and Gus a massive hug for the pressure they put on themselves but it was so cute seeing them support and fight for each other. Gus taking care of Teddy was swoon worthy.
Riley is obviously the star of the show. She's adorable and so freaking funny.
I can't wait for Dusty & Cam's book but I'll be sad to say bye to Meadowlark.

Firstly I am beyond grateful that I had the opportunity to read this book before release. With that in mind this review will be as spoiler free as possible.
Lost and lassoed was the book I was most excited about. Seeing the relationship between both Teddy and Gus throughout the first two books created a need to see these characters in the spotlight. My goodness this book was everything I wanted for these characters.
Lyla had a great ability to transport you to the places within the book and that was no different in this one. My absolute favourite scene is the mechanical bull scene. Matched with a killer song that I had to play while reading, I was there.
There is so much about this book that fills my heart with joy. The strong family bond and community feel will always be my favourite thing about this series. Throughout the book the relationships between the dads in this series and their children was celebrated in a beautiful way.
I loved this book so much and continue to adore this series and being at rebel blue with the Ryder family. I can’t wait to read the final book Wild and Wrangled.

Thank you for the opportunity to review this item! I've enjoyed this series so far, and this was definitely my favorite of the three. The pairing felt natural and the interactions organic - it's tightly written and I'll recommend for other readers.

This was delightful, a great read and although it was my least favourite in the series so far, I definitely enjoyed it a lot.
It was written very simply, but still well enough to have an emotional impact. I loved all the characters and the setting, I was so happy to finally read Gus and Teddy's story, and I was a big fan of Teddy and Emmy's friendship in this book.
It was maybe a little too similar to Heartless by Elsie Silver for my liking though.
I cannot wait for the next book in this series, Rebel Blue Ranch has completely captured my heart.

Thank you NetGalley for this eARC in exchange for a honest review.
This is the best book in this series by FAR and that says a-lot because the first two books are phenomenal! This is a between Teddy and Gus and this will fill your want of a country enemies to lovers. I was sobbing at part and laughing at others and that was because of their character dynamic and the characters themselves. If you are an oldest sibling you are in for a wild ride you are going to connect to and love.

After enjoying the first two books, I was really looking forward to Teddy and Gus’ story. Enemies to lovers? Count me in!
Sadly this fell a bit flat for me. There was very little time as enemies and instead it felt like they were quick to fall.
I did like the way Teddy navigated through her friendship struggles because friendships do change as life happens and it can be hard!
Despite giving it 3.5⭐️, I’m still eager to read the next book!
Thank you netgalley and Hachette Australia & New Zealand for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I received an eARC of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
I loved this book. I have been waiting for Teddy and Gus's book since I read Done and Dusted. The way they trade insults with each other just reeks of repressed sexual tension. I loved that their snarky natures didn't disappear as they started a relationship. I love the relationship between Teddy and Riley also, its adorable and just warms my heart to read it. There were some parts in the book that were a little cringy but not enough to put me off from the book. The characters in this series are just wonderful and they are what keeps me coming back for each book. Lyla Sage knows how to hook a reader, entertain them throughout the book and then leave them wanting more with those sneak peeks into the next book!!! I'm now impatiently waiting for Cam and Dusty's book Wild and Wrangled. I did not expect this series to be an instant favorite when I first picked up Done and Dusted but I'm already excited for my next re-read of this series (after I collect all of the books of course!).

This is my first time reading Lyla Sage’s books and I’m happy to say I’ll most definitely be returning. This was such a beautiful, fun read. The banter and angst was off the charts. Sage could not have pulled off the enemies-to-lovers, forced-proximity tropes any better. I am obsessed with all the characters in this universe and their small quaint town, I loved Teddy’s confident larger-than-life personality and Gus’ layered emotional depth. Their personalities bounced off one another’s perfectly. Usually, I’m not a massive fan of children written into plots, but Riley’s character was to die for. She was simultaneously hilarious and witty but was illustrated like a real kid. I am obsessed with the entire setting of this series and will be moving to Wyoming as soon as possible. Highly recommend!

This is a great addition to this series which I'm assuming is to be continued if the epilogue is anything to go by!!
The characters really make this book and I especially loved the character of Teddy (Theodora). She's feisty and charming but vulnerable and relatable. A nice counter balance to Gus (August) who is calm and collected but who also loves deeply. Arty and wild Teddy becoming a live in babysitter for Gus's daughter and the inevitable close quarters builds the tension in the relationship well. This book does have some real heartfelt moments, challenging themes and is incredibly emotional at times which makes the light hearted moments all the more enjoyable.
This book is a real mix of tropes - age-gap, single daddy, best friend's brother, enemies to lovers, opposites attract, forced proximity - but I enjoyed the combination. I thought that the enemies bit was a tad under played and the reason for the 'enemies' was potentially a bit underwhelming but I still enjoyed it thanks to the characters.
I thought that the pacing was good in this one, pretty standard layout for a romance novel, so hits all the right spots. I enjoyed being back in the Meadowlark world as well and seeing familiar faces. If you enjoy cowboys and romance this one is a must read!

I loved this book. It svery similar to the previous ones in this series, but you can read it as a stand alone. Cute love story. I loved all the characters and I can't wait to read the next one!
Thank you for opportunity to read this eARC through NetGalley.

Rebel Blue Ranch by Lyla Sage
I’m officially in my cowboy romance era and I never realised how much I enjoy a small town romance.
I finished reading Done and Dusted and as much as I loved Emmy and Brooks, I was obsessed with Gus and Teddy and was so excited when I got approved to read Lost and Lassoed.
This was such a fun book, Teddy and Gus’s chemistry was on fire, it was building up from the first book. I love their little jabs and the banter throughout was so good, it surpassed my expectations! Gus and Teddy are extremely likeable and it was refreshing to read about people that weren’t problematic or walking red flags!
Thanks NetGalley and @quercusbooks for providing me with a digital arc.
