The story we've all been waiting for! "Wild and Wrangled" by Lyla Sage follows Dusty and Cam as they have a second chance at love after she is left at the alter by the man her parents picked out for her. Lucky for her a hot nose ring attached to the man that used to know her better then anyone is there to help her through it. Together they will rebuild what they used to have, but it won't be easy...

A beautiful, cozy conclusion to the Rebel Blue Ranch series that revisits the relationships we love while giving insight to characters we have been desperate to know. Cam is strong and independent and Dusty doesn't save or fix her, he supports her while she fixes herself. I really loved the flashbacks of who they used to be and how it reflected who they are now. A very satisfying goodbye to the Ranch and characters we all love.

She’s the one that got away. He’s the one that never let her go.

Lyla Sage I don’t know what you put into these books, but I am absolutely addicted to the Rebel Blue Ranch and every single character.

Dusty and Cam were second chance romance perfection! Their story was sweet, soft, spicy, and had me feeling ALL the feels. Gah I just loved seeing these two high school sweethearts reconnect again. Though I never wanted this series to end, Lyla gave us the perfect conclusion in this love letter to Rebel Blue Ranch. And her her words “Nothing lasts forever. Not even goodbyes. 😉 I finished and instantly wanted to dive back in from the beginning.

What I loved:
🤠 Second Chance
🤠 Small town
🤠 Cowboy Romance
🤠 Found Family
🤠 Riley

A HUGE thank you to Dial Press and Netgalley for the advanced copy! I cannot wait to add a finished copy to my Rebel Blue Ranch collection.

This final installment from the Rebel Blue Ranch series was probably my favorite of the series. I loved how Cam and Dusty, while being apart from each other for 15 years, never truly stopped loving each other. Both characters had some growing up to do and the time apart made their relationship stronger and therefore could become “permanent” like Cam and Dusty said about themselves. Reading this makes me want to re-read the previous books, like visiting an old friend.

I loved the first three books in this series, but this one was such a disappointment. Cam is the most boring character. The only time she shows any sort of personality is when she's being immature and unreasonable. As an adult, Cam didn't act or speak any differently than she did as a 17-year-old. We're expected to believe she's a 30-something lawyer and mother? Her sounding like a child half the time made the spicy scenes especially icky. Dusty at least read like he had become an adult, but still was insanely bland. The two of them had zero chemistry whatsoever. The flashbacks to when they were teenagers should have given context, but instead were just cringy.

Also, the cute little world and fun characters that she had created in the rest of the series were practically non-existent in this one. We get a few scenes here and there with the other characters where they also show no personality. The town and ranch barely feature. I truly don't understand why this book was even added to this series.

This series continues to be a light as cotton candy fluffy delight. This time, we have Cam and Dusty's story. High school sweethearts whose romance was sidetracked by her overbearing parents and his wunderlust, they're both back in Meadowlark and ready to revive their friendship. But is there more to their story? Is a happy ending in the works? I bet fans of the series know the answer to that question. A very satisfying conclusion to the series.

What a perfect second chance romance !!! Can't stop thinking about these characters -- plus the cover is just stunning!

I absolutely adored Wild and Wrangled by Lyla Sage! She completely turned my view around on both second chance and friends-to-lovers tropes, which are typically not my favorites, but Sage made me fall head over heels for this book. The chemistry between Camille and Dusty is undeniable, and their journey from estranged to something more felt incredibly authentic and moving.

The glimpses into their first meeting were such a beautiful touch, and I loved the notes they exchanged. It really gave us a sense of the deep connection they once had and how much they had both changed and stayed the same over the years. These small moments were so touching and added a lot of heart to the story.

However, there was one thing I felt was missing. The reason they initially broke up wasn’t explored enough between the characters, and I found myself wanting more discussion on that front. It was a pivotal moment in their past, and I think a little more closure or insight into how they both felt about it would have deepened the emotional impact of their reunion.

That being said, Lyla Sage’s writing is just chef’s kiss. The tension, the romance, the growth of the characters—it was all so well-done. If you’re a fan of second chances and small-town romance, I highly recommend Wild and Wrangled. It’s a heartwarming, emotional ride that will make you believe in love, no matter how much time has passed.

Cam tries so hard to do what she thinks is best for her daughter, toeing the line her parents drew. But Dusty has never stopped loving her and doesn’t want to lose her a second time. The longing! The flashbacks to high school! The dancing around each other while trying to just be friends! What a great ending to this series! Loved it!

so heartwarming! dusty and cam were the perfect way to end the rebel blue ranch series. lyla sage truly captures the reader in a big emotional group hug

To start, thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing for giving me this advance copy!

I really hoped that this book would be better than the others. I truly tried to give this book a shot but I think I just don’t care for this author's writing. For me, I was very bored and was not entertained by this book at all. I didn’t care or like anything about the book. I thought it started off interesting at first but it lost its appeal rather quickly. It all just felt bland and I didn’t care for the characters in the slightest. I really wanted to enjoy this series and this book especially but it unfortunately didn’t happen.

Oh, Lyla Sage, I will really miss Rebel Blue Ranch!

Wild and Wrangled is a second chance, touching, emotional romance. A beautiful end to a really fun series.

A fitting end for an amazing series. This is 2nd chance done right. Dusty is hands down the best MMC in this series in my opinion and his relationship with the little one is adorable. This was so good!

I loved this! So much fun, so enjoyable - I want more of this world and hope that Lyla Sage continues to write more romances. Her characters are unique, well developed and relatable. This is in the same style as Elsie Silver, but honestly I will likely revisit these more often!

I enjoyed this a bit more than the other ones I’ve read by this author- and I can recommend if you want something light and with cowboys

3.5 rounded down, it was a great and sweet ending to the rebel blue series but i just don’t think second chance romances are for me. also the third act fight was unrealistic and just frustrated me.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a feee eARC in exchange for my honest review.

I have loved the Rebel Blue Ranch series so much, and Dusty and Cam’s story was such a sweet ending. I love a second chance romance, getting those flashbacks are one of my favorite things! Single parent is a favorite trope, and then we have a beautiful and sensitive man?? Love.

Anyone triggered by emotionally abusive and controlling parents should go into this with great care, it should be said that it was handled nicely but was still tough to witness.

Lyla Sage does it again! Another cosy, cowboy romance that will tug at your heart strings and have you rooting for everyone!

I loved finally getting to see more of Cam and who she is and see the parts of her that are in Riley. I am a big fan of second chance romance/ childhood sweethearts so this was one for me!

The character development of both Cam and Dusty throughout this was really well done and getting to jump back to see them together when they were teenagers really showed this development and how much they changed to be ready for each other.

This was a sweet romance set in a cozy town with cozy characters. I don’t think the motivations behind all the characters was that believable at points but if you suspend your disbelief it is a fun and sweet romance.

Lyla Sage has done it again with a second chance romance that will tug on your heart strings. Wild and Wrangled shows that is never to late for your happily ever after, even if it's messy.

The Rebel Blue Ranch series is like coming home. Lyla Sage, you know how to tug at my heartstrings! Cam and Dusty’s story was touching and raw. I loved getting more backstory between the two, and I think the time jumps were the perfect way to tell it. I won’t spend too much time on their story, I don’t want to spoil it! What gets me in this book, and all the Rebel Blue books, are the friendships/family bonds. Lyla Sage perfectly writes such a cozy and loving environment; the characters truly feel like family. Every time Amos arrives at the scene, I’m already weepy with whatever insightful comment he’s about to share with us. This book is no exception. The very end had me ugly crying on the couch at 9AM, happy tears of course! I will recommend this series to any and all who are looking for some joy.
