Reading this book was like finding your first love and falling in love all over again.

I was so happy to be back at Rebel Blue Ranch and to read all about Cam’s love life, or lack thereof, after her fiancé, Graham, didn’t show for their nuptials.

I found it ironic how Cam ran to the Devil’s Boot to drown her sorrows, while Dusty was there all along for the same exact reason! Then him coaxing her out of the bathroom and going to some gas station in the middle of nowhere? Sums up their relationship to a T.

I’m sad to see Rebel Blue go, but this book was a great finale for the series.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!

Dusty and Cam’s story is finally here! I loved getting to go back to Rebel Blue and checking up on my favorite couples (oh hi Teddy/Gus and Emmy/Brooks!). Wild and Wrangled was a great way to wrap up the series, but I don’t think it’s one of the strongest in the series. If this had been a stand alone I wouldn’t have stuck with it. Fans of the series will find it to be a nice conclusion, but the slow pace and low stakes make it not great to read as a stand-alone.

so I just finished my last rodeo at rebel blue ranch and I am ~very~ unwell. lol!!

wild and wrangled was truly everything and more. dusty and cam are everything to me - like they’re my people 🤞🏻 their love is so so so special and i would d*e for them!!!! these two are the epitome of 'it's always been you'. this is truly the perfect finale to an even more perfect series and I already cannot wait to reread w&w listen to the audiobook!

read if you like:
- second chance
- single mom
- it's always been you

thank you thank you thank you dial press & lyla sage for the advanced copy!!! I love y'all so bad!!!

This was so good!!
I have to say I loved every minute of this book. The little tid bits of Dusty and Cam in the previous books really built up the suspense and made me so excited to read book 4 and it did not disappoint. I loved the back and forth timeline, dual POV’s and how we got to be a part of Dusty and Cams story.
So sad the series is done but loved this last book!!

Dusty Tucker we don’t deserve you baby girl. OBSESSED, PERFECT, ROMANTIC, A LITTLE BUT SLUTTY and overall just delightful. One of my favorite series has come to an end and Lyla proves she can’t miss. I’m so proud of this girl it’s insane and I can’t wait to see what she does next. Lyla writes the best characters who feel so raw and real and the Rebel Blue Ranch crew will stay with me forever. Couldn’t put this down, everyone get excited for April 💋

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!! I’m going to miss you Rebel Blue!! Another sweet, heartwarming, spicy read from Lyla Sage. I can’t wait to see what else she has in store.

LYLA!!! Oh my goodness, my heart! I have a new favorite from this series. This book was the perfect second chance romance. Dusty is the ultimate golden retriever man. The ultimate caregiver and protector. I loved learning more about Cam in this book and all of the trials our girl has had to go through. If anyone deserves a man like Dusty, it is Cam.

The connection and love these two have for each other, after all this time, is unmatched. The letters… oh the letters!!! I loved them so much. Dusty’s connection with Riley was so natural and realistic. This is such a great example of coparenting in a way that is healthy for your kid. This book really puts the spotlight on family. Both the one you are born into and the one you choose. An absolute must read.

Thank you so much to Lyla, Random House Publishing Group, and NetGalley for this ARC in return for my honest review. My opinions are my own.

Wild and Wrangled found its way to a delightful ending for Lyla Sage's Rebel Blue Ranch series. Cam and Dusty are a hall of fame Rebel Blue couple, and I'm so grateful for the chance to spread the buzz about this great novel.

This is my least favorite book in the series, although I did still enjoy it. The main factor I could not get over was the fact that the two never went back and addressed their prior issues. I find it difficult to believe there was no trust lost or resentment that had built up over the years between these two. I understand the idea of your first love and falling back into something that is comfortable, but these two had SO MANY PROBLEMS that they never even tried to talk about! I'm happy these two are together, but honestly they both desperately need individual and couples therapy.

A great ending for this series. Lyla did it again! Wish more took place on the ranch since it has been a central theme for this entire series, but the chapter after the epilogue managed to scratch that itch.
Cam & Dusty’s story was beautiful and heartfelt and this book reminded me of a Carley Fortune novel. Can’t wait to see what Lyla comes up with next!

2.75 I have to be honest and I hope Lyla NEVER makes her way on to goodreads. And thank you to dial press for the arc!

I adore this series as a whole, lost and lassoed was one of my fave reads of the year. Swift and saddled was such a sweetie cutie read, and done and dusted was a nice start to this series. But my god this book DRAGGED. I didn’t feel the connection between cam and dusty. Reading about them as teenagers was ok but I wanted more of their love IN THE PRESENT. And then the reveal of their breakup? Left me wanting more. And we didn’t get any resolution with cams parents?? And the third act??? i couldn’t understand why she was so upset, it didn’t require those 30 pages I was felt forced to read

I’m just sad at this one, I’m sure my second chance girls will eat it up but unfortunately it was not for me.

(It also felt kind of rushed? Not much of a side plot or anything going on. This is why authors need more than like 6 months to write a book. Let her cook!!! I think this could’ve been a lot better with more time but hey what do I know, I’m not an author or publisher)

I fear I will never find a ranch like Rebel Blue. This book was the perfect finale to the series of romances that happen in Meadowlark.

Cam and Dusty’s story is so heartwarming and hopeful. They have history as high school sweethearts and through life changes, other relationships and long distance, they find their way back to each other. My whole heart was in my throat when I realized that Dusty owned the home Cam was renting. And can we talk about how incredibly sweet her future mother in law is?!

As always, I love how Lyla Sage writes real life issues like Cams shitty family, Dusty’s loss of a parent and them navigating a dating life with a child involved, so gracefully.

This story will live rent free in my head forevermore.

i love rebel blue and am so sad this is the end of it, but ending with dusty and cam’s second chance was a perfect way to conclude this series. this book was excellent, with characters that truly were soulmates. loved it!!!

Book Review: Wild and Wrangled by Lyla Sage
Lyla Sage's Wild and Wrangled is a captivating journey that takes readers deep into the heart of adventure and self-discovery. From the very first page, Sage's vivid storytelling and rich character development pull you back in to Rebel Blue Ranch!
Cam finds herself at a crossroads in life when her plans for a secure future fall through. I loved how we got to know the origin story of Cam and Dusty. It made to decisions made later in the book even more stratifying. The build up was slow and perfect. I loved this book.!!

I'm so sad this series is over! I'm glad we got to hear Cam's story finally. I was still hoping for a little more backstory and connection to why she and Gus hooked up and was a little disappointed that it seemed to be out of boredom and just wanting other people. I also felt like Cam was very absent in the previous book so Teddy built a really sweet relationship with Riley. So it did take me a little bit to get on board and separate that with Cam's mother-daughter relationship with Riley. I LOVED the flashback chapters that really gave me insight and backstory into Dusty and Cam as teenagers. It was nice reading and understanding their strong foundation, which helped solidify and make believable their end-all marriage.
All in all, Sage does a great job storytelling and creating characters with depth and strength.
Please write another series!

I was so happy to learn more about Cam and Dusty's history and continue engaging with the Rebel Blue world and clan. While not my favorite in the series, it was an enjoyable and engaging read. Lyla Sage unravels the pair's history with a dual timeline/flashbacks as friends to lovers in high school, only for growing pains to separate them for over a decade, and eventually find their way back to each other. The characters' development and growth are evident throughout the book.

Tropes include:
Second Chance
First Love
Small town
Found Family
Friends to Lovers

4.5/5 I love a good cowboy romance and I love a good second chance. This book gave me all I needed in those two areas. The dual timeline really helped me to understand these characters and the different paths they took earlier in life. Dusty is such a great mmc and you could feel how much he loved Cam throughout the entire book. Seeing how Dusty interacted with Cam and Riley as a way to be a part of their team was so cute. I love when two characters build something for themselves before getting together again and thats what these characters did.

This may have been my favorite of this series, though I‘ve loved them all. The western setting, blood and found family, finding your true purpose, all while taking care of each zither equals my kind of book! This releases on April 15th and I think it is one for everyone! Pick this one up as soon as you can!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC. I have been OBSESSED with every book in this series and Wild and Wrangled was no different. I loved Dusty and Cam’s relationship and how supportive the whole Ryder family is of each other.

I didn’t know I liked cowboy romance novels until Lyla Sages Rebel Blue Ranch series! Wild and Wrangled is a sweet and spicy conclusion to this series! This is good news for romance readers who prefer not to start reading a series until it is complete.
