*Thank you to Dial Press and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest review*
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!

The buildup to Dusty and Cam’s book has been coming since Swift and Saddled and finally getting their origin story was awesome! I truly love Dusty so much as a main character and he’s just a truly nice guy. Cam was a character that grew up feel unloved and always reaching for her parents attention. Because of that, she is always over analyzing and second guessing if they people around her, truly love her. I think they were a good balance. I did love the flashbacks we got on how they met back in High School and the notes included were so cute! My only complaint is I wish we got a little more closure on her parents. It kinda was forgotten about at the end. But overall, this was a good conclusion to the Rebel Blue Ranch series and I hope one day we can come back to it!

Gosh, I love the Rebel Blue Ranch series, and I'm sad to see it end, but I'm glad I got to read Wild and Wrangled. SPOILERS TO FOLLOW. At times, it felt a little rushed, and I would've liked more closure on the runaway groom situation. I also would've liked more info on how Cam & Gus got together. I mean, there is a scene that explains it, but I can't remember from the previous books if it was only the one night or if they'd had a bit of a fling. It's not super crucial but I think it could've been clearer. Anyway, this book is different stylistically from the others, and I liked seeing Cam & Dusty's history play out the way it did. I love Dusty's tattoos, and he seemed really charming, a great flirt. I loved learning the ways Cam & Dusty kept each other's memory going in the small things. Definitely recommend this book and look forward to the next series.

such a perfect way to end this series! loved this couple so much <3 made me want to restart the whole series from the beginning

One of my favorites (maybe even my favorite!) of the Rebel Blue Ranch series. Dusty was the most romantic of the leads and I loved the second chance romance trope. This one has all the feels.

I truly hoped to love this, as I've really enjoyed the rest of the series, but this fell flat - the construction was obvious and trope-y, the banter seemed revisionist of the past few books and changed characters, and the charm was gone. It felt like foregone conclusions and waiting for inevitable resolutions without enough buildup or explanation. The flashbacks were juvenile, and weren't dramatic - they didn't add anything to the narrative.

I never wanted the Rebel Blue Ranch series to end! Wild and Wrangled wrapped things up in such a satisfying way. After getting to know Dusty and Cam as secondary characters in everyone else's stories, it was so nice to finally hear their background and follow along with their love story. And to keep things spoiler-free, let me just say that I LOVED the final piece at the end of the story. So many happy tears. I'm a Lyla Sage fan for life and can't wait to see what she comes up with next! Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC!

I’ve been obsessed with Dusty and Cam since book three and did this ever deliver! I loved the back and forth from their highschool days to now, and I absolutely adore their happily ever after.

Cam isn't my favorite character. She's cold and calculating. Sage's attempt at a third-act breakup was pretty lame--as all third-act breakups are--and it was a major irritation. The rest of the Ryder family kept this a descent read for me, especially the very end when Emmy and Luke get married. It was a great ending to the series. Dusty was pretty great but I just can't get excited about a cowboy with a nose ring. Cam was so reluctant to be with Dusty and seemed to push him away when the only people she should be fighting were her parents, but she's too cowardly to do that. I did like all the cussing and tattoos and the friendly interference. Overall, this was disappointing. Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC.

Loved that we got the chance to read Cam and Dusty’s story. After all we’ve been through with them, they felt like old friends by the time we got to there book. I was INVESTED. They had great chemistry and tension and while the flashbacks sometimes were a little jarring pacing wise, and idk any teenage boy that acts that sweet, i ate this romance up!

Wild and Wrangled by Lyla Sage didn’t really do much for me. The story felt like it was trying to be a fun, chaotic ride, but it ended up feeling scattered and shallow.
The characters were fine, but I didn’t find myself caring much about what happened to them. The romance lacked spark, and the plot, while entertaining in parts, never fully pulled me in. It had potential—there were moments where the humor and energy shone through—but overall, it just didn’t leave a lasting impression.
If you’re looking for something light and don’t mind a story that doesn’t dig too deep, this might work for you. Otherwise, it’s probably one you can skip.

3.75 stars rounded up to 4. I really enjoyed this book, but I felt like it was to follow up Gus and Teddy. Especially when it has similar elements of entering an already established family unit. I think the romance towards the end could have been fleshed out a bit more, it seemed a bit rushed once they finally gave in to the temptation of each other. Overall, this book was pretty short. Usually, I think that there isn’t enough editing done on contemporary romance novels, but when it comes to second chance I always think it’s best to delve in deep with the characters, and I think there was the time and place to flesh out their arc a bit more. All this being said, I don’t want to wish for things that the author clearly did for a reason, like “they were always permanent”, so my critiques are mostly for my own preferences in romance novels. I still loved these two together. Ada and Cams friendship feels very meaningful, especially as someone who’s been labeled as “skiddish”. She was the best friend cam could have had to listen and empathize with! I also loved Dusty (and his mom).

I didnt think this series would get better but wow! The character development in this one is amazing. So spicy too!!
