Lyla Sage, the woman you are! I relate to Teddy so much it was like I was reading about myself - chaos incarnate and no idea what to do with herself or where her life is going. Gus and Teddy have such great chemistry and the growth of both characters was written so incredibly well.

I loved this one it's by far my most favourite Rebel Blue book
Teddy and Gus are my all time facourite couple

Lost and Lassoed felt like other cowboy romances I've read but I didn't mind too much as this was an easy reading experience and it was entertaining. I was ready to read about these two characters (Teddy and Gus) because we'd had a build up to their enemy behaviour across books 1 & 2.

There was an underlying theme set up about Teddy finding herself and her career direction and while that was slightly tied up at the end, I felt like that particular plotline didn't reach the potential promised early on. Teddy's focus was on Gus' daughter and then on Gus and I wanted see Teddy put herself on some priority.

The single dad swoon vibes were pretty strong and Gus was reluctant to accept help from those around him until there was a mini-intervention. These two got pretty hot under the collar and I did believe in their connection and tension.

Overall, I'm enjoying this series but there's something that just stops these being 4 star for me.

Thank you to Quercus for the eARC.

I really loved this booked! It was my favorite of the series and I fell in love with both the main characters!
I can’t wait to read the last book with Dusty and Cam.
Thank you for the Arc💞

I'm soooo late on reviewing this book. But absolute 5 stars! Lyla Sage can do no wrong.

Lost and Lassoed is a fiery, feel good romance that’s as funny as it is heartfelt. Teddy and Gus’s enemies-to-lovers tension had me hooked from the start. Perfect for the girlies who love a slow burn, some sharp banter, and emotional depth. Impossible to put down!

I had high expectations for it, and I have to say that Lyla exceeded them. I loved Gus and Teddy the moment they started arguing with each other in book 1. The more I read from this series, the more I crave. I cannot recommend this book enough, and I can't wait to read the next book in the series !!!!!

The tension!! My favourite book in the series so far still belongs to Wes and Ada, but this series just keeps hitting! No misses!

I love this series and these characters. The setting itself, Rebel Blue Ranch, feels like a character too - these books just feel so cosy. Teddy and Gus are so meant to be - you've seen their chemistry build up over the previous books and it all comes to a head in this installment when Gus needs someone to look after his daughter Riley, and I LOVED seeing it all come to fruition. All the books are family-oriented, but this one in particular is even more so, with the dynamic between Gus, Teddy and Riley, and then also Teddy's own relationship with her father and the struggles that come with having an aging parent. There were a couple of moments where I didn't feel totally IN the book and honestly I think those were from the chapters we got from Gus's POV; his inner thoughts were sometimes a bit much for me! But overall a great installment to the series and I can't wait for Dusty and Cam's story.

Ahh absolutely LOVED this book, could not put it down and did not want to put it down, I loved it!! Soo glad to finally see them together!! Cannot wait for book 4!! 5*

This was a really enjoyable series that was well written, engaging and made me want to keep reading.

I was rooting for the characters throughout and I felt like I was part of their story.

This author has written some great books lately and I hope to read some more of hers.

Lyla is the queen of feel-good cowboy romances and in this book she paired that with one of my favourite tropes ever; enemies to lovers!
I was so excited to read Gus and Teddy's story finally, they obviously appear in the other books and their banter and tension are always so good. This book had emotional depth as well as delivering on the romance and the humour. Such a wholesome story of two people who never thought they could be capable of a love so deep.

A grumpy cowboy AND a single dad??? My ideal book, for real.

Love Lyla Sage, love Teddy and love this series!!!

Thanks to Quercus for the e-arc (and sorry for the late review).

Not my cup of tea. I fell for the hype with the "cowboy romance" but unfortunately this series hasn't been the one for me. I had to dnf it after struggling with it for a long time...

Once again Lyla Sage knocks it out of the park with this phenomenal series. Steamy and Funny and everything a girl could want out from a Cowboy!

This is my favourite of the series, Teddy is hilarious but I loved seeing her softer side. The romance was so swoony.

Lyla Sage can do no wrong! I absolutely ADORE this series and Gus & Teddy's story was highly anticipated for me. And it delivered. I have such a girl crush on Teddy, she's everything I wanted and more. Their banter and chemistry was so good and my favourite in this series!

This is Lyla Sage’s big one and I cannot wait for everyone to witness it! Lost and Lassoed follows two characters who’ve endured a lot but have been the emotional anchor of their found family/friend group for so long. Being able to finally witness their own love and growth was such a great read and I am simply not ready for the last of this series (but yes I am, so please reward me Dial P).

Very entertaining, romantic and compelling: a story that made me root for the characters and I enjoyed even if I'm not a huge fan of western romance.
There's steam, there's the right mix of spicy and romance.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Lost and Lassoed by Lyla Sage is a captivating small-town romance that follows Teddy and Gus, who transition from enemies to lovers while working together on a ranch. Their chemistry and the novel's engaging plot make it a standout in the Rebel Blue Ranch series, probably my favourite so far.

A stunningly sexy cowboy romp, this story is all heart and fire. A hugely enjoyable read, Lyla Sage has nailed it!

After Gus Ryder accidentally forgets his daughter Riley at soccer practice while his coparent is out of town for the summer, his family convinces him that he needs some help. When Teddy Anderson loses her job at the local boutique, the Ryders convince Gus that hiring Teddy to be Riley’s live-in-nanny for a few days a week is the perfect solution, despite that fact that Gus and Teddy can’t stand each other. But, as Gus and Teddy spend more time together, their negative assumptions about one another begin to shift; they start to open up to each other and witness how much they both deeply care for the ones they love. Gus and Teddy aren’t typically relationship people, so as their growing mutual attraction for each other nears its breaking point, Gus and Teddy must decide if acting on their desires is worth risking their hearts.

Lost and Lassoed is the third book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series and an “enemies to lovers” smalltown cowboy romance featuring the single dad with nanny, grumpy with sunshine, and forced proximity tropes. It deals with themes and topics like parenthood, work life balance, family, appearance versus reality, health, friendship, love and heartbreak, fear of failure, art and creativity, change versus tradition, and loneliness. This would be a great read for fans of Heartless and Wild Eyes by Elsie Silver, The Off-Limits Rule by Sarah Adams, The Au Pair Affair by Tessa Bailey, Love Unwritten by Lauren Asher, The Nanny by Lana Ferguson, In the Weeds by B.K. Borison, and To Hate Adam Connor by Ella Maise.

Firstly, author Lyla Sage describes the setting of Lost and Lassoed (Meadowlark Wyoming) in such beautiful detail that it creates a vivid picture in my mind; I absolutely loved getting to revisit Rebel Blue Ranch whilst I was reading! I’m a huge crafter, so I loved that Teddy was so creative and into projects like painting, decoupage, sewing, fashion design, and embroidery (including embroidering flowers on her jeans, which I definitely want to try out!) with a highlight moment involved a sweet and sentimental embroidery project that Teddy creates for Riley. Enemies to lovers is one of my all-time favourite tropes, so I really enjoyed both Teddy and Gus’ needling and spicy chemistry. It was great how the ending of Lost and Lassoed set the stage for the next book, Wild and Wrangled, which is about Riley’s mother and one of Gus’ friends. Furthermore, I appreciated that the main characters in Wild and Wrangled were present throughout Lost and Lassoed as it made me really invested in and excited to read their story when it comes out in April 2025—I have already added it to my TBR list!

One negative for me was that I felt like Lost and Lassoed was kind of slow to start; having already read the first two books in the series, I found that I was already very familiar with Teddy and Gus (and all of the Rebel Blue Ranch characters) and therefore didn’t need a lot of the background that was present at the beginning of the book. However, this does make it so that Lost and Lassoed can be read as a standalone, which I’m sure readers who are new to the Rebel Blue Ranch universe will appreciate.

Overall, Lost and Lassoed was an enjoyable read and would highly recommend it to fans of spicy contemporary enemies to lovers and grumpy with sunshine romances!
