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.

I was so excited to get Dusty and Cam's story!!! They were two people so in love as teenagers who just couldn't make things mesh with their respective dreams once they became young adults. Seeing them come back together and working through the things that stood in their way was lovely. I'm sad for these books to end!!!

I would like to formally apologize to Lyla Sage. I didn't think this story was needed and I was oh so wrong. Cam and Dusty were an absolute DREAM and a fantastic addition to the Rebel Blue Ranch series. I don't think I will ever tire reading about these characters and this small town. They are so loveable and swoon worthy. When it comes to western romance, Lyla Sage absolutely knows what she's doing.

This is the last book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series and it was such a sweet ending to the series.

This is Cam and Dusty's book, and in it you get flashbacks to how their relationship began and how it got to where it is today. You can see how much they've grown and changed from that time and how they find their way back to each other.

This has to be one of my favorite contemporary romance series. I can't wait to see what Lyla Sage writes next!

Thank you #NetGalley for the ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Of course! Here's the revised version with Lyla Sage's full name included:

**Book Review: A Heartfelt and Unforgettable Journey**

Lyla Sage has crafted a profoundly moving and emotionally resonant story that will stay with me for a long time. The final chapters were nothing short of breathtaking—I found myself completely overwhelmed with emotion, brought to tears by the depth and beauty of this narrative. The conclusion was poignant and deeply satisfying, delivering the kind of impact that lingers long after the last page.

The seamless weaving of past and present, particularly in the second-chance romance between Dusty and Cam, felt authentic and well-earned. Their journey was captivating, filled with heartfelt moments that made it impossible not to root for them. Dusty, in particular, stands out—his character embodies strength, kindness, and devotion, making him truly unforgettable.

This book is a stunning portrayal of love, loss, and redemption, serving as a fitting and emotional conclusion to the world Lyla Sage has so beautifully built. Saying goodbye to these characters is bittersweet, but the journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. For fans of deeply emotional, character-driven romances, this is an absolute must-read.

I was surprised just how much I loved this!!!

I usually adored anything Lyla Sage writes, but this one was just next level! I was obsessed with both characters from the very beginning, and I never felt the want to rush their story and get them together any faster.

Their relationship, both old and new, was so so special, and was such a great representation of the characters as individuals and as a couple.

Seeing Riley from another side of the family was so sweet as well. And there was a great balance of the familiar characters, without having them take over the story.

I loved seeing Cam and Dusty's story, and I will happily read anything and everything Lysla Sage puts out!

Lyla Sage kicks ass! This was a lovely end to a great series from an amazing up and coming author. Lyla’s characters always feel so authentic - Cam and Dusty were no exception!
I would have loved to see what Cam’s relationship with her parent evolves into a little bit more at the end of the book. And did I miss where the nickname ‘Dusty’ came from?
10/10 would recommend and I can’t wait to see what’s next from Lyla! :)

I really enjoyed Wild and Wrangled by Lyla Sage. I will be sad to see this series come to a close. This was a great finale to the Rebel Blue Ranch series and would recommend to all who love these books!

When Cam gets left at the alter on her wedding day, she is pulled out of her self-imposed isolation by the least likely person in Wyoming: her ex, Dusty. The past is usually too painful for these two to revisit, but when Dusty reaches out his hand to help Cam deal with her failed wedding, she decides that spending one day with him couldn't hurt.
The problem is that once they spend time together and realize that their connection isn't completely broken, it is hard to put all of the old feelings back in the box and pretend that they are no more than casual acquaintances. Dusty has always been "more" to Cam, and he feels the same way, so the two now have to decide if they can forgive past hurts and trust that a future together could be possible.
With this book, Sage completes her Rebel Blue Ranch series, and it was a delight from book 1 through book 4. I'm a high school librarian, so I can't have these adult titles in my library at school, but I have all 4 in my personal library and will be lending them to friends and re-visiting the ranch again for myself in the future!

Omg, this book was everything I hoped it would be!! I’m so sad that this series has come to an end, but this book was the cherry on top of the whole series.

Cam and Dusty were just perfect together. The flashbacks and the notes—god, the notes—chef’s kiss.

We see their relationship as high school sweethearts madly in love, with Cam having to leave to find her own way and the years of pining Dusty did. Cam, under the thumb of her rich parents who didn’t care for her but controlled most aspects of her life, felt unloved and unworthy. She had to discover who she was, but it took her a long time to realize how strong she truly was. Dusty spent their time apart traveling the world and working odd jobs, but he never stopped wanting or loving Cam. He eventually realized the emptiness he was trying to fill wouldn’t go away until he put down roots at Blue Rebel and got closer to her again. There was a push and pull between them for most of the book, mainly from Cam. But Dusty always showed up for her, and his love never wavered. His relationship with Riley, and the instant connection Riley felt toward Dusty, was really sweet.

I did feel like there was one little thing missing from the story, and it was closure between Cam and her parents. I was expecting some kind of confrontation or resolution. It was a big part of the book, but nothing got tied up.

Can’t wait for Lyla’s next book.
