Books, Boots and Bakeries

After being swept off my feet by Done and Dusted, I eagerly saddled up for Lyla Sage’s next ride, Swift and Saddled. This installment in the Rebel Blue Ranch series is soft, flirty, and brimming with cowboy charm—perfect for fans of small-town romance.

The story follows Ada Hart, a city-slicker interior designer with a guarded heart, and Weston “Wes” Ryder, a cowboy with a heart as vast as the Wyoming sky. Their first encounter? A toe-curling kiss in a local bar—only for Ada to discover the next day that Wes is her new boss. Their chemistry? It sparks hotter than a branding iron, and best of all, no one’s getting dropped off at the train station (looking at you, Yellowstone).

What I loved most about this book is how it feels like a gateway drug into cowboy romance—gentle and full of charm, without leaning too hard into the rugged stereotypes. Lyla Sage captures the beauty of second chances, personal growth, and falling in love in a way that’s warm and inviting.

And that cover art? It’s so gorgeous I had to send my hubby to pick up a print copy to go alongside my Kindle version. Who am I kidding? I’ll be buying the set. If you’re looking for a sweet escape with a little country heat, Swift and Saddled is your next read.
