Even though Wes is my favorite cowboy, this book is my favorite of the series so far. I will definitely listen to book 4 when it comes out.

Riley stole the show! ❤️

I even was only moderately annoyed every time Gus called

Teddy “Teddy Baby.” 🙄

lol. Maybe they’re just growing on me, but the whole family and their pet names weirded me out in the first book 😅 Everyone calling Riley “Sunshine” is cute though. ❤️

I was anticipating this book for so long because I was WAITING for Teddy and Gus' book. I wanted to like it more than I did, but that may possibly be because I overhyped it so much. I still love the characters and was interested in the story, but it didn't grip me as much as I hoped.

The game of Twister was hilarious

Loved the characters and loved the voice actors. There was great chemistry in this novel. The perfect "enemies to lovers" trope. And I really liked the setting, too. It's not one I get to adventure to very often.

I wanted to love this book, I really did. But it just felt like I couldn’t get invested. They kind of just like magically got together. There was no build up, no tension, no nothing. Like I just wish we got to see more longing and more build up to the relationship, especially considering how well it was done in the 2 previous books. I also didn’t really get the whole conflict with Emmy and Teddy. Like it just felt like a lack of communication. Also I stand on the fact that Emmy made a correct assumption based on prior behaviour (like she didn’t pull it out of no where) when she asked if Teddy wanted a relationship.

i loved this! each book truly gets better and better. i love that Sage always works in representation with her characters that make them feel so innately human and relatable. Teddy's fear of losing her sense of self while everyone around her that she loves seems to need her less and Gus's determination to always be able to bring it all all the time really struck a chord with me.

okay, spoilers ahead that don't necessarily give much away, but really sold me on this book.

when Gus was depicted
reading his daughter's books before he read them to her so he could be sure that he didn't struggle with reading them out loud bc of his dyslexia was such a tender moment.
i melted!!!
there is a moment that a minor character
essentially food shames Gus's kid and he shuts it down fast (there are no good/bad foods, just food). to write a character that doesn't perpetuate harmful language around foods, especially for a child, is so important for people to read and have normalized!!!
when Teddy is on her period,
i noticed that Sage chose to use the term "people with uteruses"
and this is what we mean when we say reading is political!!! even romance!!

to prioritize language like this in a cowboy romance is so impactful and it gave me so much joy to see these examples.

and finally, this spicy scene will live RENT FREE in my head forever!

"...I want you to go down on me until I come, and then I want you to kiss me, so I can have a taste."

Gus smiled at me again, then flipped onto his back. "And I want you to ride my face. So I think we can both get what we want here."

"August Ryder," I breathed as I sat up. "Are you offering me a mustache ride?"

Gus smoothed two of his fingers over his mustache and said, "Saddle up, baby."

I don't know how I'm going to handle the end of this series that has come to mean so much to me. Lyla Sage is unmatched when it comes to capturing 20 something emotions/feelings. I high key relate so much to Teddy's struggle with feeling left behind while all her friends are moving on to the next thing in life. Teddy is such a fun character too. She's loud, a bit unpredictable, hot as hell, and not afraid to tell you how it is. She's honestly Gus' "worst nightmare," because he loves having a plan. But as always sometimes the best things in life are unexpected.

My favorite part of L&L isn't the off the charts chemistry and smut (though it's amazing as usual for Lyla Sage), it's actually the soft moments as Teddy and Gus get to know each other beyond their pre-existing best friend's brother relationship. Gus gets to see just how much Teddy cares for everyone around her (especially Riley) and Teddy gets to be the one who he lets his walls down with. They're just so cute y'all!!!

Lost and Lassoed is not just a romantic love story; it's one of familial love between parents and their kids and platonic love between two best friends. I think my favorite thing about the Rebel Blue Ranch series is that every book mentions how Teddy and Emmy are soulmates. I've been lucky enough to find the other half of my platonic heart in my best friend, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
