“Lyla Sage gets better with every book, and this one particularly has something just extra special. The tension! The passion! The humor! The emotion! Rebel Blue has become a second home to readers like me, and Gus and Teddy’s story is beautiful not in just the classic enemies to lovers / found family way (which is ofc amazing) but in the way it helps you heal a part of yourself. ”

“Not gonna lie, I think Lyla did her big one right here. I, like many others was waiting for Gus and Teddy's story and for me she really nailed it. Enemies to lovers at its finest with the infusion of emotion that I'd like to call Lyla's trademark.”

“Lyla Sage’s BEST Rebel Blue Ranch novel yet!!! Follow Gus and Teddy as forced proximity turns enemies to lovers (seriously, what’s not to love?!) Perfect for fans of Elsie Silver, steamy hot cowboys, and a darn tootin’ good time ;)”

“The third book of the Rebel Blue series and all of their characters feel like coming home. It's no secret that Teddy and Gus love to bicker and get on each other's last nerve at every chance possible, but when Gus needs help taking care of his daughter and Teddy needs a job they are forced together in a whole new way. This book had me screaming and kicking my feet with all the tension and banter. Lyla Sage + cowboys + badass heroines will always be perfection.”

“Lost and Lassoed has everything you want in a small town, enemies-to-lovers romance. Teddy and Gus have the most entertaining banter and I adored how their relationship progressed without any of the commonly hated tropes! Oh and the spice is top notch! This will be a romance book I read over and over again.”

“Lost and Lassoed was everything I could have hoped for and more! This audiobook swept me off my feet with its perfect blend of heart and drama, delivering an unforgettable enemies-to-lovers romance infused with the irresistible tension of forced proximity. The story masterfully captures the essence of soul-deep friendship, where bonds between friends feel as profound and irreplaceable as those of family. And speaking of family, the father-daughter relationship was nothing short of breathtaking - a love so deep and enduring that it transcends words, leaving a lasting imprint on the heart. Listening to this was like receiving the warmest, most comforting hug. The narration brought each character to life with vibrant emotion, making their journeys feel so vivid and personal. And just when I thought my heart couldn't be fuller, the author’s note at the end moved me to tears. It was a reminder of the heartfelt purpose behind the story, adding an even richer layer of meaning to an already beautiful experience. If you're looking for a read that will make you laugh, swoon, and reach for tissues, Lost and Lassoed is a must-listen!”

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • She thrives in chaos. He prefers routine. The only thing they have in common? How much they hate each other.
From the bestselling author of Done and Dusted and Swift and Saddled, the highly anticipated next book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series, a small-town romance in which enemies turn to lovers when they’re forced to work together during one hot summer
“Another deliciously addictive romance . . . as sizzling as it is emotional and vulnerable.”—Elena Armas, New York Times bestselling author of The Spanish Love Deception
Teddy Andersen doesn’t have a plan. She’s never needed one before. She’s always been more of a go-with-the-flow type of girl, but for some reason, the flow doesn’t seem to be going her way this time.
Her favorite vintage suede jacket has a hole in it, her sewing machine is broken, and her best friend just got engaged. Suddenly, everything feels like it’s starting to change. Teddy is used to being a leader, but now she feels like she’s getting left behind, wondering if life in the small town she loves is enough for her anymore.
Gus Ryder has a lot on his plate. He doesn’t know what’s harder: taking care of his family’s 8,000 acre ranch, or parenting his spunky six-year-old daughter, who is staying with him for the summer. Gus has always been the dependable one, but when his workload starts to overwhelm him, he has to admit that he can’t manage everything on his own. He needs help.
His little sister’s best friend, the woman he can’t stand, is not who he had in mind. But when no one else can step in, Teddy’s the only option he’s got. Teddy decides to use the summer to try and figure out what she wants out of life. Gus, on the other hand, starts to worry that he’ll never find what he needs.
Tempers flare, tension builds, and for the first time ever, Gus and Teddy start to see each other in a different light. As new feelings start to simmer below the surface, they must decide whether they should act on them. Can they keep things cool? Or will both of them get burned?
Lyla Sage lives in the Wild West with her loyal companion, a sweet, old, blind rescue pitbull. She writes romance that feels like her favorite things: sunshine and big blue skies. She is also the author of Done and Dusted and Swift and Saddled. When she’s not writing, she’s reading.

Reviews
“Lost and Lassoed has everything I’ve come to expect from a Lyla Sage novel; delicious tension, heartwarming vulnerability, characters you can’t help but root for, and more simmering heat than a Rebel Blue summer sun. Teddy and Gus are what off-limits, opposites-attract romance dreams are made of. Readers will be alternately clutching their pearls and their tissues. Lyla Sage once again pours her heart lovingly into each page on another delightful trip to Rebel Blue.”—B.K. Borison, author of Lovelight Farms“Teddy and Gus are spicy, sizzling, enemies-to-lovers perfection! I loved every moment of their feisty banter, their steamy sexual tension, and their touching emotional journey as they found home in each other’s hearts.”—Chloe Liese, USA Today bestselling author of the Bergman Brothers series
“I rarely read books in one sitting, but you’d have had to pry Lost & Lassoed from my cold dead hands to get me to put it down. Lyla Sage delivers another scalding hot romance; this one is also a tender rumination on fathers and daughters, and the love that makes a family. Lost & Lassoed burrowed deep into my heart, and I know it’s going to stay there for a good long time.”—Kate Stayman-London, bestselling author of One to Watch
“Sage offers a spicy, western take on the enemies-to-lovers trope in her third Rebel Blue Ranch contemporary . . . Supporting characters—including cameos from the couples featured in previous installments—add to the cozy small-town charm. Series fans will be pleased.”—Publishers Weekly
