Weston Ryder has never done anything wrong in his entire life and I will die on this hill.
That’s it. Thats the review.
This is book 2 in the Rebel Blue Ranch series by Lyla Sage and what a book 🥹 Wes was one of my favorite characters from book 1, so I was beyond excited to see he had his own story 🤠
Wes is Emmy’s older brother, chronic middle child, and the definition of a golden retriever character. He’s the more reserved Ryder sibling, but he loves hard and would do anything for his people. When he takes on the enormous project of redoing the old family home, affectionally named Baby Blue, Teddy offers him a contact from design school.
Ada comes barreling into Meadowlark on a dream and prayer. She’s running on E, mentally and financially. But she’s determined to start a new life and Baby Blue is her shot. In search of food, Ada winds up at the only open bar in town, The Devil’s Boot. As she sets her work station up for the day to make the final preparations on her upcoming project, she has a dog-fueled encounter with a handsome cowboy.
Ada and the cowboy spend hours making heart eyes at one another, which culminates in an uncharacteristically fun and steamy make-out sesh. But of course Luke Brooks walks in on them before names and numbers can be exchanged, and Ada hightails it out of there. She can’t believe she did that and is so thankful she never has to see the cowboy again.
Until she shows up for her first day on the Baby Blue job.
And the cowboy from the bar is Wes 😈
Absolutely loved this book! Devoured it in one sitting. A few of my favorite things from this story include: how normalized Wes’ MDD was, how the spicy scenes were so full of communication and trust, Ada’s character growth, and the found family 🥹❤️
I cannot wait for book 3!
