Finishing a beloved series is so bittersweet and this book is no exception. I’ve been dying to get my hands on Wild & Wrangled since book two and now that it’s over, I am both joyful and crushed.

W&W is the beautiful, emotional story of Cam and Dusty. It’s a second chance love story (one of my favorite tropes) between two people who have a lot of history that they’ve kept locked away. I love both Cam and Dusty so much - I knew their story would wreck me emotionally, and it did, but in the best way possible.

Cam is one of those characters who just makes you love her and want the best for her, even if her motivations or actions make you want to scream into a pillow. But the way she fights for her daughter, to be a good mother even though she didn’t have that herself growing up, truly made my heart ache. I loved her growth and development so much.

Dusty complemented Cam so well in this book. He’s the wild, well-traveled, but deeply thoughtful and good man that any woman would dream of. I knew I would love Dusty from all the little tidbits we got of him in previous books - and I was absolutely correct. Team Dusty for life!

This story was a bit slower in pace than the other books in this series, but it felt perfect for the story being told here. I felt every emotion, every up and down, and I could not put this book down.

Not only was it a beautiful love story between Cam and Dusty, but this book was a heart-wrenching goodbye to the series. All of our favorite characters were front and center (Ada and Wes absolutely stole my heart all over again! I love them so much) and I love the way that Lyla allowed us to say goodbye to these characters.

This book had it all - an amazing story, perfect romance, sizzling spice, laugh out loud humor, and moments that had me in tears. This series will have a special place in my heart and I know it’s one I’ll revisit again and again.

I received an ARC of this book, but this is my honest review.

This was a great finale to this series and I'm so fortunate to have been given the opportunity to read it. I felt like the final "conflict" was underwhelming and didn't feel very believable. I liked the build up of the romance, though, and I loved their dynamic.

Super cute ending to the series. I didn’t love it as much as the others, Cam wasn’t as relatable to me. I think that was a me issue though and I'm sure other readers will love her. I love Dusty! He's so dreamy! I need more MMC's with nose rings and man buns. Lyla Sage did an amazing job with this series and I loved getting to see everyone’s stories wrapped up. Thank you so much NETGALLEY for the arc!

Lyla Sage is back with the final book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series! This is a second chance romance between Cam and Dusty who dated in high school. We move back and forth between the past and present day and find out why the two high school sweethearts broke up as we see them rekindle their love today. In some ways these characters are so mature but then Camille reverts back to the rash and angsty teen she was whenever her overbearing parents show up. Spoiler? but I HATED the third act break up and Cam really pissed me off. It was totally ridiculous and over the top. It could have still been a moment of growth for her and the resolution could have been the same, but the way Cam acts is super messed up. Other than that moment, loved. Thanks NetGalley for the arc.

I have read all the books in this series and just like all the others this is a very fun a quick read. I love how characters from all the other stories still pop up like they would in real families. I thought Cam and Dusty’s romance was believable and sweet.

For everyone who has been waiting for Cam to get a win, this is for you. It's hard to put into words how one book could tear my heart in two and sew it back up in tandem. Cam was running into a life she thought she wanted becuase it felt safe. Dusty was her first everything and showed her what life outside of safe could be, and he's here to do it again, while showing her how to make decisions for her not for her parents. Dusty is so swoony, he never rushes her, asks why she's not putting her self first and waited for her, wrote letter while he waited and hoped they would get the timing right, and after 15 years it might be time.

A gentleman in the streets but "I want to do distinctly ungentlemanly things to you" in the sheets!! 😅

Once upon a Time, I was not a cowboy Romance girly (I still am not generally speaking) but then there was this one called Done & Dusted that I literally could not get away from so I gave in. I liked it enough to give the next book in the seriesm Swift & Saddled a try. I was, am and always will be obsessed with it. Ever since, my feet have been firmly planted at Rebel Blue Ranch. Wild & Wrangled is Lyla Sage at her best. It is a shining love letter to not only the world she created but also the power of love, hope, and wanting a life that makes you happy. Thanks for sharing Meadowlark. I very much enjoyed my visit. (Wada forever, baby, but Dusty Tucker will do in a pinch.)

Thank you to NetGalley for approving this ARC in return for an honest review!

I love Lyla Sage. Her world-building and character development is a delight. She writes splendid cowboy romances, and I cannot wait to read more of her craft.

Since I stepped into the Rebel Blue Ranch series, I had been waiting for Dusty’s redemption with Cam. I am a sucker for second-chance romance, and their relationship’s obscurity made me want to read Dusty and Cam’s book all the more. Independent girlboss and tattooed cowboy? (Swoon) Sign me up!

But not everything is roses and butterflies. Wild and Wrangled had me in a chokehold… until the latter ten percent of the book.

I had great expectations for this novel. I wanted the yearning, the longing glances, and, of course, the tension so high that it could battle a middle-aged man's blood pressure. That is not to say Sage did not deliver, but the pacing faltered because of the limited space intended to develop a breakup in the last three chapters.

News Flash: Not every book needs a third-act conflict to be a true romance. It cheapens the roadblocks the characters have overcome together. The hero and heroine can live happily ever after without battling a great threat to the relationship.

Wild and Wrangled was swoony, steamy, and super wholesome. Could it have had a better ending? Sure. Don’t worry—the epilogue makes up for it!

Sweet read for any romance novel fans. Not usually up my alley but loved the setting and characters. Would recommend!!

Wild and Wrangled by Lyla Sage is the fourth and final book in the Rebel Blue series. This is Cam's happy ending -- finally! I loved this entire series and was very sad to have it end. Honestly, I felt a lot more could have been done with Cam's back story, especially her unexpected pregnancy. Given her difficult relationship with her parents, I kept waiting to learn more about how her parents reacted when she got pregnant...but we never really got anything there. It seems like there would have been a LOT more to work through in that situation.

But other than that, I loved Dusty and Cam's happily ever after...and I hold out hope that maybe this isn't the end for the Rebel Blue series!

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for the chance to read and review this e-galley.

Thank you netgalley and the publisher for this advanced readers copy! This book perfectly ties the Rebel Blue Ranch series up into a neat bow. I have loved this series more than I ever thought I would love a cowboy romace series! First things first, Dusty! He is one of my favorite characters in the whole series and I'm sad we did not see more of him in the other books. He is sweet, generous and tender all while being a harworking guy who doesn't mind to get his hands dirty. The banter between him and Cam had me giggling and kicking my feet the entire book. I also loved getting to know Cam outside of just being Riley's mom. If your looking for a ridiculously sweet, cute, and steamy second chance or enimes to lover romance, this is the book for you!

A beautiful ending to the Rebel Blue Ranch series. Dusty and Cam have a complicated relationship and this is such a good second chance romance where everyone finds what they deserve (after our cliff hanger ending with Cam at the end of book three). I love how everyone come from a different experience, age, and standing in life but equally finds their person. No notes.

Also loved getting to hear more about the ranch as an expanding business, and seeing our known and cherished characters again.

This is such a perfect end to this series. Cam and Dusty make second-chance romance magic together. I cried like an absolute baby when I closed the book. A forever favorite author and series! I’ll miss you Rebel Blue!

Lyla Sage does it again! Cam and Dusty had me swooning, and I am always happy to be back in the arms of Rebel Blue. This one-of-a-kind love is the perfect end to a wonderful series of connected novels that not only show how love can take you by surprise, but also how people can choose to love you as their own with no strings attached.

Yet again love anything by Lyla Sage! Wonderful end to the Rebel Blue series. I love that Cam got her happy ending, we found out what really happened between her and Gus.

This was such a sweet second chance romance, and I really liked the flashbacks woven in to explain the past relationship between Cam and Dusty. I also really loved seeing the relationships between characters of previous books continuing to grow in this one. I don't think we could've asked for a better farewell to Rebel Blue Ranch. As always, thanks to netgalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for review.

Lyla Sage did such an amazing job and I feel like every one of her stories in the Rebel Blue Ranch series really makes you feel like you're part of the Ryder family and that's so special. I don't know how Sage made me fall in love with another man from Meadowlark but Dusty definitely had me swooning, twirling my hair, giggling and kicking my feet up! I thoroughly enjoyed this story and witnessing the character development of all characters was honestly very heartwarming.

The latest (and I think last) entry in the Rebel Blue Ranch series finally focuses on Camille and Dusty. The other books have slowly been building their story but finally the focus is all on them.

The book takes place in present day - with Camille being left at the altar by her fiancé. However, there are plenty of flashbacks that give us insight into their high school romance. Camille and Dusty strike up a tentative friendship and it's slowly revealed what went wrong so many years ago. I liked that we got alternating chapters with both of their perspectives and the romance was very sweet.

However, I felt like Dusty was a little too perfect. Minor spoilers but he was in love with Cam from the beginning and seemingly willing to wait forever to be with her again. At a certain point there wasn't really anything keeping them apart except Cam. I know she had her own insecurities and issues with her family but it felt like that went on just a little too long. I like tension but it didn't feel genuine.

Overall though their romance was cute and I would definitely recommend to existing readers of the series.

A beautiful conclusion to the Rebel Blue Ranch series. I'm sad to say goodbye to these characters. Usually not a fan of second chance romances but this one felt right and had great character development. Definitely recommend!
