Full RTC on pub day.
This book. THIS BOOK. There are no words to describe how incredible this is. Lyla Sage's writing is one of a kind. I've never felt so connected to EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER she has ever written. There are bits and pieces I see of myself in everyone. Things I've experienced throughout different chapters of my life. It's like Lyla dove into my brain and wrote down my exact feelings when even I, myself, have struggled to find those words. She's such an incredible writer and seeing her journey throughout this series makes me so excited for what her future holds.
Cam and Dusty, my heart. I cannot handle the ongoing longing between these two since they first appeared in Rebel Blue. Seeing these two get their love story. Get ready. Even more so for the man, the myth, the legend, Dusty Tucker. I also adore the parenting between Gus and Cam. You rarely see two characters in a book that work so well with one another, and are beyond supportive of one another and each others partners.
Can confirm I also cried. Multiple times. I'm unwell (but really I am, because this is hands down a lifetime favorite book).

The way that the Rebel Blue Ranch has infiltrated my heart and brain cannot be expressed. Dusty and Cam are the quintessential “right person wrong time” cliche. However after years apart a few left turns they finally have their moment and my heart soared with every step they took towards each other. I will probably read this book 17 times more and never get sick of it. Do you self a favor and read this series.

thank you to netgalley and random house publishing group for this eARC!
i’m so glad i was able to read this arc! i loved the first three books in this series and this one was no different. similar to lost and lassoed, i love a good parent trope. and i already knew i loved riley so i was super excited for this one; since i learned that she spends more time with cam, i was also very excited to see more of her in this one. i was not disappointed on that front, riley remains one of my top three characters—i love her.
i also love dusty. he continued to prove why i love this series; sage writes the perfect representation of a “southern gentleman” and dusty, i think shows this best of all. he’s lovely.
i’ve never really read a story like this one, where the characters have spent so much time apart, and i was a little worried that it would feel just slightly too unrealistic for me, but sage pulled it off. the way she wrote dusty, it was totally believable to me that he would’ve been thinking about her all that time. over all, the way she wrote their relationship was just on the right side of unbelievable. obviously it’s unrealistic, but it’s a romance novel and they make just enough sense for it to work for me.
i really enjoyed this book and i’m sad the series is over! i would 100% recommend this seires, and i’m so glad i read it.

I'm sad this is the last book in the Rebel Blue series, but Lyla did such a wonderful job creating a cast of characters you feel like you personally know. I was excited to get to know more about Cam and Dusty, I loved Dusty so much, especially how he came to know Cam and gave her a safe space away from her parents. There were a few parts where I thought Cam was using her upbringing and her parents and too much of a crutch, and instead of processing those feelings and trauma, used it as an excuse for her actions. I wish there would have been more about that in the book, more conflict resolution with that part of it—it felt like a bit of a plot hole to me. I LOVED the scenes with Dusty and Riley, and I wish we would have gotten more of them where it was just the two of them together. He was so sweet with her. Overall I really liked this one, but I think certain parts needed more flushing out and fine-tuning.

I’m ✨sobbing✨ my favorite series is over and I’m the one that’s reads everything to the very last page 😭
I’ve been waiting for Cam and Dusty and to have a man love the way he does is top tier 🤍

god i am such a sucker for second chance romance especially when they never really moved on from each other and the yearning and tension is palpable at every second. everything about this was just *chefs kiss* no one is doing it like miss lyla sage i need her to keep writing books forever and ever until we’re all dust and even after that

Lyla Sage does it again!I loved this just as much as all other novels in series. I could read forever Blue Rebel Ranch stories!

I LOVE THEIR LOVE SO MUCH!!!!💖
this was truly SO amazing and heartwarming and I felt like I was really there😭 also, for some reason this gave me the same feels and emotions as a love letter to whiskey so we all knew it would be 5🌟
What an amazing end to this series! I literally won’t stop thinking about this book for a while! CAM + DUSTY 4EVERRRRR
thank you netgalley and the dial press for the arc!

This book was the perfect end to a wonderful series. Dusty and Cam's story was beautiful - full of love, yearning, and chemistry. I absolutely loved this book and thought it was well executed. Cam, who has been around for the duration of the series but who we have not known a whole lot about, had excellent character growth and I liked hearing her backstory. Dusty was also a compelling love interest and I was rooting for them the entire time. Although I am sad this is the last Rebel Blue Ranch book we will have, I thought it was a great conclusion and I loved how this book tied everything together.

Every brides' worst nightmare is getting left at the alter and Camille Ashwood's nightmare came true. With no husband and nowhere to live, her perfectly planned life gets turned upside down. Cam learns that her dream house is available to rent with one stipulation: Dusty Tucker, the man she's loved since high school, lives in the house next door. Will they remain platonic friends or will they rekindle the flame that was never truly extinguished?
Every time Lyla Sage writes a new book, I always think there's no way she can out-do her last one and every time she proves me wrong. I was so emotionally invested in this book and characters already as Cam and Dusty's relationship has been teased in the previous Rebel Blue Ranch books, and I was so excited to see how this would play out. I think we all have a moment in our lives where if we are not with our high school sweetheart now (for better or worse), wonder what life would be like now with them now. This story is an ode to love that never truly dies and to never letting your fears hold you back from happiness.
This book was written stunningly, with flashbacks from Cam and Dusty fifteen years prior woven in. While we are experiencing Cam and Dusty relearning to be friends, we are also learning how their relationship started, bloomed, and ultimately nosedived. This pairing of present time and flashbacks was a beautiful bookend to their story and I was falling in love with two versions of the same characters. The high school scenes made me feel immensely emotional because I experienced that kind of relationship when I was the same age, and it brought a sense of nostalgia and connected me to these characters in a way I wasn't anticipating. When I started this book I was uncertain how I would connect to Cam as I am not someone who experienced being left at the alter, but I was able to connect with her sense of longing/pining, fear to love, and her high school experiences. I cried numerous times reading this story and that emotional connection for me was one that I wasn't anticipating and that's why Lyla Sage is the incredible writer that she is.
The slow burn of Cam and Dusty navigating their new relationship as friends was incredible, done in a way that I was screaming at them to make more of a move on each other. The accidental touches, longing glances, and hearing how little things they each did struck them in a tsunami of want made me kick my feet.
While this story is mainly focused on Cam and Dusty, we also see Cam's strained relationship with her parents and how living under their influence shapes how she is a mother to Riley. Technically, Cam could blame her parents for getting left at the alter as she only agrees to marry Graham to secure Riley's future in an iron clad trust fund from her parents. They have been sabotaging her happiness since she first started seeing Dusty, as they repeatedly held her own trust fund over her head to make the decisions they wanted. Her parents are harsh, cruel, and detached as her own mother tries to blame Graham leaving Cam at the alter on CAM. I have not experienced pain like that, but Lyla made me feel as though I had. When Dusty comes back into the picture, Cam feels more confident and bold enough to take a stand against her parents. Sometimes we all need some support in partners whether it be them voicing something you are too afraid to, or being there to comfort in a time of need. Dusty was that for Cam and my heart melted at the way he stood up to her parents and fought for her.
I highly recommend this book to everyone because it was a masterpiece, but this book is especially great for those who love:
✨ second chance romances
✨ Western / small town
✨ flashbacks
✨ forced proximity
✨ found family
✨ complex relationships
✨ friends to lovers
✨ slow burn
✨ dual POV
I screamed when I received this eARC because this series has meant the world to me, and Lyla is one of my auto buy authors - this still doesn't feel real. Thank you to NetGalley and Random House for this eARC in exchange for an honest review!

The last book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series. Overall, I liked this series, and this book was cute. I liked Cam and Dusty and how simple their story was; no over-the-top drama, no major obstacles, just a simple romance to tie up the series. Of course, there were some cringe moments, but I still enjoyed this read. I read the other books as ARCs and kept checking Netgalley for this one. I was glad I did; I love a finished series and wanted to see how the author would end things for this last couple. I think I liked Cam and Dusty and their story better than a few of the other Rebel Blue characters. (view spoiler) I wondered if the mention of her older sister, Violet, would lead to another book. I wouldn't hate it if it did.
Thank you to Netgalley for this ARC.

Lyla Sage is becoming one of my favourite cowboy romance authors. A great story teller! A very cosy read. I loved Dusty!

Yearningpalooza, baby.
This is a love story 15 years in the making, showing how you can always find your way back home to the one you love (even if it takes breaking up, having a child, and being left at the altar). But it's all worth it in the end if you end up with a partnership like Cam and Dusty. This burn is low and slow and all about timing. It's simple with minimal drama, yet so full of angst.
I did have some issues with the third act conflict, but the final epilogue made it all worth it. Serious tears.

I adore this series, so it's no surprise that I enjoyed reading Wild and Wrangled. Lyla Sage does a great job writing complex characters who you want to keep reading about. I read this book in one sitting and would definitely recommend it to people wanting to get into reading western romance.

I will literally read anything Lyla Sage writes. This fourth book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series was FANTASTIC! It feels like a warm hug as you follow along with Cam and Dusty as they reconnect and have a second chance at love after her wedding is called off. The romance, the tension, the yearning…it’s all there and you can’t help but fall in love with them yourself. The family that makes up Rebel Blue Ranch is one that I’ll miss now that the series is ending, and I can’t recommend this series enough.

Live this final installment of this series. Such a great ending and absolutely amazing! If you love cozy romance with a touch of spice, this series is perfect.

The way the last book ended was perfection. And I knew I needed to get my hands on this one as soon as I could. The way Lyla writes love interests keeps me hooked reading and wanting to find out what happens next. There has been so much growth from this author from that first book to this last one it's absolutely wild. I'll be reading anything she writes in the future.

Oh my heart. I LOVED this. Waking up today still thinking about it - second chance romance is my favorite and I loved their slow burn and the longing and watching it unfold throughout the books, I am gonna tear up just writing this ! The only one hotel room be still my heart, the tattoo, the secret letters, the sadness and joy I loved it all. I sorta wish this one didn’t have the “third act” break up I could have done without it- but regardless it ended quickly enough. And that last last epilogue of the wedding and visit to the grave !!!! I’m so sad this series is over. Thank you for this. 4.5 stars

So good! I knew after reading book 3 that I would absolutely love Cami and Dusty and I was correct! I'm not typically the biggest fan of second chance romances, but seeing their friendship and relationship grow again after years apart was really heartwarming. There were also lots of fun and steamy scenes in this one. Definitely a must read and a perfect end to the series!

thank you NetGalley for the advanced copy! As with the rest of this series, there were pieces I really liked and other parts I felt meh about. (Hence the 3 stars) I liked book 2 and 3 more but I still enjoyed reading this one!
