Done and Dusted by Lyla Sage
4.0
Done and Dusted is a steamy cowboy romance that features the “brother’s best friend” trope.
I thought that Clementine “Emmy” Ryder and Luke Brooks had great chemistry. I enjoyed their banter and seeing their relationship evolve from friendship to something more. I thought they had some sweet moments while they were getting to know each other, and I especially liked the moments where Luke was helping Emmy work through her trauma from her riding accident.
I also appreciated the mental health rep in Done and Dusted. Emmy has ADHD and there were scenes where she talks how it affects her.
I enjoyed getting to know the other characters in Done and Dusted. I liked Emmy’s family and her best friend, I’m looking forward to reading their books and getting to know them more.
One of the best things about Done and Dusted is that it does not have a third act break-up, I wish more books would leave this common occurrence out.
As far as spice goes, Done and Dusted has it’s fair share of open door spicy moments. I thought they were well-written and not overly cringy.
Overall, I really enjoyed Done and Dusted and I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the Rebel Blue Ranch series.
