Wild and Wrangled is the final book of Lyla Sage's Rebel Blue Ranch series - I am so sad to leave these characters behind! This last book picks up where book 3 left off - with Cam at her wedding, no groom in sight. But her high school sweetheart Dusty comes to the rescue, and Wild and Wrangled tells the story of how these first loves became estranged but eventually found their way back to each other. And of course, our favorite characters from the three prior books make appearances throughout. In all, it was a great final chapter to a really fun series.

This was a great conclusion to the series, and I loved the letter from the author. If you love second chance love, single parent, and strong female main character stories... This is one for you! It is told in two timelines, and from both points of view. Riley is just as cute as ever, and shines in every page she enters. It was nice to get Cam's story, and see a single parent story from the woman's side. I loved visiting all of the other characters from the series. All in all, a very quick and fun read.

Okay, THIS one might hae just been my favourite one yet. Dusty and Cam are just perfection and their invisible string y'all??? I can't. You can tell when the authour just loves and knows their characters because you can feel it in the writing. This really is the end of an era but I am so excited to see what else Lyla Sage has for us in the future! I've been patiently waiting since finishing Lost and Lassoed for this one and I can't believe its already here!

This author is new to me, but I will be keeping an eye out for anything else they publish. I loved the story and the characters. The pacing of the story was great and the characters were relatable.

Wild and Wrangled was everything I wanted and more. It was the perfect conclusion to such an amazing series. I felt so many emotions while reading this book, and even cried multiple times. Dusty and Cams story is so beautiful and the true definition of right person, wrong time.

Is this really the end of Rebel Blue because I desperately don’t want it to be. This book filled a hole in my heart. Lyla Sage has done it once again. I’ve decided that she is the Queen of writing men who are such pathetic suckers for their woman and I will eat it up every time. I’m a sucker for “second chance romance” and always will be, and boy did this book deliver.

A lovely wrap to the Rebel Blue Ranch series. Cam and Dusty’s second chance romance captured the perfect balance of pining for a life-long love and a fear that love may have been lost. Dusty’s confidence in high school, his ease-in return to Cam’s life, including leaning in to caring for Riley; all contributed to building a character who demonstrates what quiet competence looks like in a leading character. No frills-but a solid delivery of how we could dream about how two people could find one another again. Dusty’s letters to Cam in high school are butterfly inducing.

What a great way to say goodbye to the world of Rebel Blue! Even though this installment was not my favorite in the series, I still deeply enjoyed it form start to finish.

You couldn't help but root for Dusty & Cam, especially because the author did such a wonderful job at showing each of the ways that they never stopped loving each other. Having both timelines of Dusty & Cam's relationship was a game-changer: It allowed us to see why they were still so attached to one another, while showing us the mistakes that led them to break up. Everything that happened in the modern day felt more high-stakes when you knew all the history they had to lose. It was easy to empathize with Cam & why she made the decisions she did; Dusty was a great balance for her while remaining a strong character in his own right. Their chemistry was so believable and fun.

If I had one critique of this book, it would be that I wish we'd gotten more of Riley. She's such an integral part of Cam's story, but she felt like such a small cog in this book. That said, it never really detracted from my enjoyment.

Lastly, I loved the bonus scene included at the very very end. It was such a sweet way to say goodbye to the series and these characters. I could barely read past the tears in my eyes.

I'm so excited to see what Lyla Sage has in store for us next!

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing for the ARC of this book.

BOOK REVIEW: WILD & WRANGLED 🐴🌾💘

I can’t believe this is the end of the Rebel Blue Ranch series!!! 😩❤️‍🩹 this series holds such a special place in my heart and I feel like Wild & Wrangled wrapped it up so perfectly.

Cam’s always had a plan, but when the groom doesn’t show up to her wedding it turns things upside down. Cam’s path crosses with her first love, Dusty, when she moves into a new rental home with her daughter and realizes he lives in the guest house out back. It doesn’t take long for their spark to reignite.💕

Ugh I love Dusty and Cam!!! I love how this second chance romance was done - that can be such a tricky trope but Lyla executed it perfectly!! The alternate timelines and POVs were 10/10 and I loved every minute of this first love, second chance romance! Also as always loved the cameos from other characters from previous books and the found family elements of this series!

Can’t wait to read Lyla’s new series - Sweetwater Peak, coming Sept 2025!!!🤩✨

I love love love second chance romance and this one is a doozy. I've been dying to get the story of Cam and Dusty since their passing encounter in the previous title. I knew there was a serious history there and I'm so glad we finally got to experience their story. I thought both MC's personal growth throughout flash backs and present-day story was really inspiring, especially since they were teenagers when their love story started. In the end, they needed to be apart in order to make it later on, and it takes a lot of maturity to realize that. I also thought Dusty's growing relationship with Cam's daughter Riley was really sweet and heartwarming. The soccer game scene was so fun. If you enjoyed the other books in the series, you'll love this one. I'm so sad that the Rebel Ranch series is coming to an end, but I'm excited to see what Lyla Sage will give us next.

You know, I was not expecting to be into romantic Westerns but Lyla Sage is really making me change all my preconceived notions. This was my second novel of hers, and I really wish I had another one to read! What a fantastic series. It’s full of heart, heat, banter, joy, and humor. I think readers will love this one, Lyla Sage is definitely up there on authors who are going to leave lasting impressions in the best way in a crowded market.

An emo music loving, tattooed cowboy AND a single parent trope? Sign. Me. Up. I'm so sad that this was the last book of the Rebel Blue Ranch series, but man, it ended perfectly. I just loved Cam and Dusty's story. I especially enjoyed getting a lot of their history through their letters to each other. I would have loved just a little more of them in the present, though as well. Lyla Sage is secured as a must-read author for me!

This one didn’t seem as immersive as the rest of the books in the series. The MMC didn’t have much to him and he just was in love with the FMC the whole time, which is fine, it just made it kind of a slow read. It was definitely well written and it was a good finale to the series. I just loved the other three books with all my heart and this one just kinda fell flat.

One last trip to Rebel Blue and it did not disappoint. Cam and Dusty were high school sweethearts. But life got in the way and hearts were broken. Now, fifteen years later, they have a second chance at romance. 💕 My heart ached for Dusty while waiting for Cam to feel brave enough to love again. The whole cast of characters of the rest of the Rebel Blue series made an appearance in this final installment. Loved the bonus chapter of Emmy’s wedding 🥺 I will miss this series so much!

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for the advance digital copy with me in exchange for my honest review.

3.5 stars rounded down. This was a great ending to the Rebel Blue Ranch series. I was hooked at the beginning, but then had a hard time connecting and relating to Cam and Dusty compared to other characters and couples in the series. I think Emmy’s epilogue was the perfect ending to the series though.

I requested an ARC of this book because of its gorgeous cover and because I'd seen these books everywhere. I then found out it was #4 in a series, so I read Done and Dusted to get a gist of the world and ended up not a fan at all.

That being said, I enjoyed this one more than Done and Dusted. I liked the two main characters a lot more and their romance felt a lot more realistic to me. The flashbacks to their high school romance, though mushy, were kind of cute. For some reason I really like second chance romances despite hating it in real life (I'd smack any of my friends sideways for getting back with an ex). I also appreciated the healthy coparenting relationship between the main character has and her father's daughter. The Ryder family at the center of this series is heartwarming, though so, so sappy.

After hating Luke Brooks (the male love interest in Done and Dusted) I was actually digging Dusty... Until he became kind of pissy and annoying. I think this book would be a solid 3 stars for me if not for the last third-- it felt weirdly rushed and anticlimactic at the same time.

Overall, I am just not a fan of Lyla Sage's writing. There were so many sentences and descriptions that made me cringe.

If you love incredibly cheesy, tropey, and smutty romances, this series is for you! It was not for me. 2.5 stars.

Thank you NetGalley and Random House Publishing group for the eArc. And give the artist who designs these covers a raise!!!

I am honored to have received an e-arc of this book. Equal parts heart-warming, swoon-worthy and tear-jerking, I can happily say that Dusty Tucker has been added to my book boyfriend list. (Sorry to my actual boyfriend!) Lyla Sage writes men and romance that we all hope to one day experience and meet.

"I'll love you until we're dust in the wind, Camille Ashwood." Whew! Dusty, the man that you are. He was so down bad for Cam and I was obsessed.

There were many emotions running through me when I finished this book. Second chance romance is always a hit or miss with me and of course Lyla Sage made this a huge hit for me.

Dusty and Cam’s story was so sweet and the growth they both showed made me believe in their relationship. I think the way Lyla developed their relationship and laid out the complexities with their dynamic really showed me how much Dusty and Cam cared and loved each other. Love is not linear, and Dusty and Cam’s story truly showed that. As always, it was so nice to dip into the Rebel Blue Ranch world and see the whole gang. Teddy will always be my fav and I loved getting to see Gus and Cam's co-parenting relationship.

This was such a bittersweet ending to the Rebel Blue Ranch series and I’m truly going to miss all these characters. Excited to see what Lyla Sage does next in the Sweetwater Peak series!

Save the best for last. Dusty Tucker is that MAN. I can’t stop thinking about this book. As for Cam, she is such an iconic leading lady. Obsessed

I love Rebel Blue Ranch and this final story was no different. Dusty and Cam's story was beautifully told and had me filled with nostalgia and yearning. I really enjoyed seeing the female friendships grow throughout this series and the role they play in this book. As with Lyla's other books, this was filled with hot cowboys, strong women, and tender and caring relationships.
