I have loved my time in Rebel Blue and WILD AND WRANGLED truly hit home. Reading Lyla's author note before jumping into Cam and Dusty's story made me reflect on how much I love this series. Lyla writes contemporary romance with such grace and gives her characters space to feel their emotions without being forced to share or come to conclusions about their thoughts and feelings. Lyla created a beautiful story arc for both Cam, coming into her own as a mother, a partner and a person and Dusty, a man who has come back and decides to settle down for the first time in his life. We see her story progress while also going back in time to her 15 years prior when she comes to Meadowlark. Having the flashbacks truly showcased who Cam is and the relationships she has fostered since moving and meeting the Ryder clan. Lyla knows how to pull at your heartstrings and having a man like Dusty.... ooooof. I need a man who will do anything for the woman he loves and that sure is Dusty. I would love more books in the Rebel Blue world, but new beginnings are always welcome! This was an incredibly satisfying end to a wonderfully written world with a romance that is both heartwarming and sexy in all the best ways. Pick this up if you want a fast paced romance that makes you feel every emotion, but ensuring you get your happily ever after! I can't wait to read Lyla's next series.

I am so glad I went back and gave Done and Dusted another shot because THIS BOOK!!!! I've enjoyed this series and I thought it was going to be Ada & Wes (which, I still love them) but this is without a doubt my favorite. Though I shouldn't be surprised because I've loved Cam from the beginning and I'm a sucker for a man with tattoos.

Really though, this is one of my favorite books I've read this year. And it definitely lives up to that absolutely swoonworthy cover!

After much ado, it's finally time for Cam and Dusty's story!

This wasn't my favorite — hello, Gus and Teddy! However, it was still such a treat. "Wild and Wrangled" is a fitting end to the Rebel Blue Ranch series. Oftentimes, series struggle to reach a satisfying, clean ending that gives us the right amount of closure for each character. Lyla Sage pulls it off so well here, and I cannot wait to read whatever she does next.

Thanks to Dial Press for the advance copy!

Lyla Sage surprised me so much with this series! I have enjoyed every single one but this one might be my favorite! I’ve been looking forward to reading about this couple since they shared a little look in the first book and I loved it. So sweet and funny.

I have read every installment of this series, and this one, like the previous three, did not disappoint. I particularly enjoyed the second chance romance paired with thoughtful reflection on economic class differences, and also on the importance of building found family and community as a part of a character's happy ending. What I love about this one is that Dusty and Cam fall for each other (again) but they also finally address the things holding them back from really thriving in their families and friendships, and grow together into communicating with not just each other, but with everyone else around them, too. I will miss this series so much, but it felt like a satisfying way to wrap it up!

Thank you to Lyla Sage, Berkley Books, and NetGalley for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.

I was very curious about Cam and Dusty's relationship, since it had been hinted at in the previous books. Overall, this didn't work for me - it was slow pacing and I didn't see much character growth either. I'm still a fan of the series (and the gorgeous covers!) and will continue to recommend the series to customers, but I wish this was a stronger ending.

Ok so seeing as this was the last book in a series I’ve loved so much, I knew I was going to be highly emotional. But the way I cried like 17 times 😂 The tears started on the dedication page and just kept coming. Cam and Dusty (and Rebel Blue), you have my whole entire heart.

WILD AND WRANGLED is Cam and Dusty’s story and I was so ready for it. Cam and Dusty (Custy? Dam?) met in high school and quickly became best friends. Their friendship blossomed into the sweetest romantic relationship and I loved how Lyla gave us flashbacks of how that unfolded. But as teenagers, these two struggled with wanting different things out of life and eventually their relationship ended.

15 years later, their paths cross again when Dusty moves back to Meadowlark. Cam is now an established lawyer, mom to the best little girl ever, and a would-be-bride who has just be jilted at the alter. And while they haven’t really spoken in the last 15 years, it’s Dusty who Cam seeks out when her wedding ends in disaster.

Second chance romance isn’t usually my cup of tea, but I am so hooked on this series and felt so invested in Cam’s happiness. And Lyla knocked this trope out of the park because oh my god, y’all. These two were absolutely perfect for one another and I couldn’t get enough. Dusty was so steadfast in his feelings and loved Cam so loudly and proudly. This man didn’t waver once throughout the entire book and treated Cam like she hung the moon and stars. Which is fitting because I’m pretty sure Cam actually did hang the moon and stars.

Am I tearing up writing this review? 1000%. I loved everything about this book and felt it was the perfect ending to a series that has such a hold on my heart. I can’t wait to have all 4 books in my hand and re-read them together 🥹

Thank you so much to The Dial Press and NetGalley for the ARC!

What is up with my most anticipated reads disappointing me lately? I was so excited to read Dusty and Cam’s story but this book was a hot mess that felt like it was massively rushed to meet a deadline and finish the series. There was SO much potential but the chemistry was off and it felt like there were no real obstacles in the couple’s way. Their motivations were skin deep at best and the whole structure just fell apart. I would like a do-over please!

I absolutely devoured this book. Lyla Sage gets better and better with each one. The cover is so perfect - and the story is so sweet and really was a long time coming. While I did like Lost & Lassoed simply because I related to Teddy more, it's honestly such a pleasure to jump into this world that Lyla has created. It's comforting, sweet, romantic, and best of all, super steamy.

Second chance girlies RISE!!! DUSTY THE MAN THAT YOU ARE!!!!! IN A WORLD OF BOYS HES A GENTLEMEN!! I have so much love for meadowlark, the ryders and now Dusty and cam!!! Can’t believe this is goodbye but I’ll love you forever!

AHHHHH I LOVED IT!
Dusty may be my favorite of all 4 books. This ARC came at a perfect time because I could not get enough of this series. The yearning and the angst, uhhhhh 😩 sooo good! This book gave me all the feels, I did have two moments of wanting to punch Cam, but pretty wonderful regardless of that. I enjoyed the back and forth from their young love to the moments of angst as adults. Dusty was the boyfriend we all deserved in high school, no man would ever measure up. The love and family (found and blood) were beautiful. The only hitch was a Cam's SUPER overreaction at the end, but still a beautiful read overall.

I was so excited to be able to read this one, and Lyla Sage did NOT disappoint! This is probably the best one of the series so far. The characters were just much more interesting than the ones we've seen before. The added element of them having a history made it so much more fun.

I have enjoyed Lyla Sage’s two latest novels, Swift and Saddled and Lost and Lassoed, and based on her excitement over Cam and Dusty, I was anticipating Wild and Wrangled to be the best out of the bunch.

While I still enjoyed this novel, I found that this is possibly the weakest book of the series - and the reason why is because of the third act, the characterization of Cam and the relationship between the two main characters.

I found the third act to be highly underwhelming and rushed, which is unfortunate because up until then I thought that it was quite good.

With the characterization of Cam, I thought she was quite one-dimensional, and I believe this is a result of how the author executes the characters, instead relying on telling instead of showing. It’s not a bad thing, some aspects just call for “tell” but I think it’s important to understand because this is a second chance romance.

Even though I love the trope - second chance romance books are hard to pull off, and I don’t think the author executed well. I just found myself not being entertained or caring about Cam and Dusty’s relationship. They were adorable but I wasn’t actively rooting for them.

I appreciate and love Lyla Sage’s novels. They are low stakes, the romances are -for the most part - well executed, lovable characters, easy to read and not angsty in a way that has my heart aching. Nonetheless, I found Wild and Wrangled to be a good romance overall, but I was underwhelmed by the third act. It kind of made me love Lost and Lassoed even more.

Lyla Sage creates a world that I never knew I'd be interested in but I am thoroughly addicted. Her world is full of modern-day cowboys and ranchers who deal with modern problems with sensitivity and care, and the feisty women who love them.

The best in the series! The relationship was absolutely perfection And the pact was solid not rushing or slowing

LOST AND LASSOED was one of my favorite reads this year, so needless to say, I devoured WILD AND WRANGLED when it hit my shelf. Lyla Sage absolutely never misses and I loved this second chance story so much. I can't believe we have to say goodbye to the Rebel Blue Ranch series, but I can't wait to see what Sage does next.

Not my favorite in the series, but this one was a great finale to the series. These reads are always a guaranteed good time, and this one was no exception!

I may need a full week to recover from everything Dusty. What an incredible ending to a series that truly makes you feel at home with your family and best friends. I have always been a HUGE fan of a second chance romance and Cam and Dusty remind me why. There was no better feeling than seeing these two high school sweethearts find their way back to each other and understand (and not be mad about) why their timing was not right 15 years ago. Plus, if you’ve been reading this series from the start, you’ve met Riley (Cam’s daughter) and know how much life she brings into this found family. Seeing her form a relationship like she did with Teddy was everything! Plus, while this was Cam and Dusty’s story, there were so many full circle moments with the entire gang. An epic conclusion to it all!

Lyla Sage can do nothing wrong. I loved this book, just as I have loved every other book in this series. Cam and Dusty's relationship is fantastic and I love the incorporation of co-parenting and also how important it is to find your person and the things in life that bring you joy. These books are like a warm hug to my heart and I WILL be rereading them constantly.

While it may follow familiar romantic tropes, *Wild and Wrangled* stands out for its playful energy, engaging banter, and sizzling romance. Perfect for readers looking for a quick, passionate read with a dash of western flair.
