She thrives in chaos. He prefers routine. The only thing they have in common? How much they hate each other. From the author of Done and Dusted and Swift and Saddled, the highly anticipated next book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series, a small town romance featuring enemies to lovers and forced proximity. Teddy Andersen doesn't have a plan. She's never needed one before. She's always been more of a go with the flow type of girl, but for some reason, the flow doesn't seem to be going her way this time. Her favorite vintage suede jacket has a hole in it, her sewing machine is broken, and her best friend just got engaged. Suddenly, everything feels like it's starting to change. Teddy's used to being a leader, but now she feels like she's getting left behind, wondering if the life she lives in the small town she loves is enough for her anymore. Gus Ryder has a lot on his plate. He doesn't know what's taking care of his family's 8,000 acre ranch, or parenting his spunky six-year-old daughter, who is staying with him for the summer. Gus has always been the dependable one, but when his workload starts to overwhelm him, he slips up, and he has to admit that he can't manage everything on his own. He needs help. His little sister's best friend, the woman he can't stand, is not who he had in mind. But when no one else can step in, Teddy's the only option he's got. Teddy decides to use the summer to try and figure out what she wants out of life. Gus, on the other hand, starts to worry that he'll never find what he needs. Tempers flare, tension builds, and for the first time ever, Gus and Teddy start to see each other in a different light. As new feelings start to simmer below the surface, they must decide whether or not to act on them. Can they keep things cool? Or will both of them get burned?

    Gus and Teddy are sweet, spicy, funny, salty, tender, and REAL. I want to be their best friends and want to live out the rest of my existence in Meadowlark, Wyoming. Every opportunity I have to return to Rebel Blue is an absolute delight. Lyla is an absolute star and Lost and Lassoed shines so bright!

    Lyla writes multi-dimensional characters and realistic relationships that are simply overflowing with heart. It's clear in the story that every relationship, interaction, scene, and conflict serves a purpose. Her story arcs are *that* consistent. It's easy to see yourself in Lyla's characters: They're relatable and authentic in ways that can make anyone feel seen. While Lost and Lassoed is first and foremost Gus and Teddy's love story, we see so many other relationships unfold: Gus and Riley, Gus and Amos, Teddy and Hank, Teddy and Emmy, and more. As Lyla talks about in her author's note, L&L is totally a love letter to dads and it's obvious how much of her own heart Lyla pours into her stories. All of these relationships make for a well-rounded story and a dimensional world that feels real.

    Thank you SO much to The Dial Press and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review. Love ya lots! xoxo
