Swift and Saddled: A Rebel Blue Ranch Novel

One of the best books I read this year, can’t wait for part 3

RECENSIONE IN ITALIANO SOTTO I deeply thank the publisher for the chance to discover this series and read this book in advance. Swift and Saddled is a lovely and heartwarming story for everyone who enjoys slow paced and cowboy/small town romance. I adored how the two main characters relate to each other without rush, and how Ada gradually became part of the family without it seeming forced by the plot. Plus, the "renovation" part of the house was well integrated in the story, and I liked it a lot. Nothing was left to chance even if they're small details. I think one of the most strong elements of these romances remains the setting. It always trasmits a calm and steady atmosphere, that totally relaxed me, even when there were some serious elements to discuss (and talking about them, I think Lyla has the delicateness to deeper those themes more, If she'd want to). That said, I'm so ready for the next two books, because we have very steamy and interesting premises! Totally recommended! IT: Ringrazio tantissimo la CE per avermi inviato l'ARC perchè ovviamente dopo aver finito Done and Dusted dovevo buttarmi sul romanzo di Wes. Devo dire che amo molto questi "slow romance" alla Zapata, nonostante anche qui si parta con un'attrazione immediata, che poi viene frenata per lasciar spazio ad altro. C'è sempre qualcosa che obbliga i protagonisti a mettere da parte l'aspetto più fisico di una relazione e darsi del tempo per effettivamente conoscersi. E qui l'attesa risulta fondamentale, perchè è quella che permette ad Ada di aprirsi e fidarsi ancora dopo una relazione tossica (accennata), e forse anche a Wes di prendere coscienza della sua forza personale e di quanto possa anche lui essere davvero felice, senza rimanere all'ombra dei fratelli. La comunicazione risulta perno fondalmentale, come il riuscire a leggere e capire l'altro nonostante parole o gesti fatti per allontanare. Magari esistessero più Weston Rhodes Ryder a questo mondo.

Perfect book. No miscommunication or dragged out third act break up. Very good if you want the love without the drama

Der Verkauf lief reibungslos, die Ware war wie beschrieben und wurde schnell geliefert. Bin rundum zufrieden – gerne wieder!

Mr Sunshine meets Miss Cool and the sparks go flying at first sight. When it turns out the next day that they will be working together on a Reno project, the story gets interesting. Was it some Amos Ryder meddling or an actual cottage problem that forces them to live together at the new Big House for the duration of the project ?! Who knows. But it did make for some great moments (hallway run-ins and late night kitchen snack ) 😉 They fit together so perfectly 🥰. Ada's past got her running-reflex on high, but Wes will always be there for her. Their dedication, level of comfort and soulmate vibes was so nice to read .. it put a blissful smile on my face. Because this Cowboy was made for his designer Sweetheart. When my own car started acting up this week while I was reading this book, I kept thinking "Where is my sunshine cowboy who offers to help fix my car?". And lateron I could so easily imagine the driving lesson tips to 'find that sweet spot' and use 'a little give and a little go' while driving a stick shift 😅. The driving lessons where such a fun part in the story, plus I always enjoy seeing some of my favourite movies get mentioned in a book. I wanted to finish with a Shout-Out to the awesomeness of pater familias, aka Mr Amos Ryder. He always has wise words and fun anecdotes to share. He seems to be all-knowing and sometimes plays 'dumb' to get 2 potential lovers together ( Yes, I am looking at you Cam and Dusty )
