Another fantastic read from Lyla Sage! Dusty and Cam's story feels like the perfect ending to the series, and is romantic and emotional in all the best ways. This one feels a little heavier than the other books in the series, but is a great note to end things on. Very sad to be saying goodbye to Rebel Blue!

Wild and Wrangled by Lyla Sage was everything! As the fourth and final book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series, it brought all the feels and then some. Camille and Dusty’s second-chance romance was so beautifully written, with their struggles and new beginnings woven into a story that felt raw, real, and deeply emotional. I couldn’t get enough of their journey—there were moments I laughed, moments I swooned, and yes, moments I cried actual tears.

The theme of found family was another highlight that completely stole my heart. The sense of connection and belonging at Rebel Blue Ranch added so much warmth to the story, making it feel like coming home. Watching Camille and Dusty rediscover themselves and their place within this supportive, loving community was just as satisfying as their romance.

The spice level was just right, balancing their fiery chemistry with the depth of their connection. This book was a perfect conclusion to a series that has captured my heart from the start. But honestly? I’m so sad to see it end! Lyla Sage, you’ve created something special here, and saying goodbye to Rebel Blue Ranch feels like parting with old friends.

Highly recommend this entire series, but prepare your heart for this one—it’s a beautiful ride.

“I didn’t come back to Blue Ridge looking for a second chance, Camille.” Dusty’s voice was low, rough, and impossibly close. “But damn if I’m not standing here, wanting one anyway.” (((Swoon)))

love this book it was amazing! It was truly everything I could’ve hoped for I love the way the author writes ANC OMG I KNOW THAT I SAID LAST BOOK WAS MY FAV BUT TRULY THIS BOOK DOES NOT COMPARE!!! I am so glad I received this

I'm a big fan of this series so when I had the chance to read an arc of the 4th book, I jumped at it! I've been waiting to see Cam get her happy ending and I was thrilled to see Dusty come back into her life.

While the two of them are very lovable and sweet together, I did feel that the pacing was somehow off for this book, there was a lot of tension build up in the first half and then the second half felt pretty rushed? They had a complicated story to tell but it just didn't hit the mark for me this time. I still love the series and would happily read anything Sage writes!

I could not put this book down. Dusty just broke my heart time and again and I loved getting to know Cam; exploring her relationship with Gus and Amos was a plus. These are characters that you want to root for and they do not disappoint. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced readers copy. We are definitely stocking this title in our bookstore and it will become one of my recommended titles :)

I’m sad this series is over but I enjoyed every second of iit! I’m certain we’ve not heard the last of Lyla Sage and her lovable characters you can’t help but root for!

Thank you for this arc!!

Omg…where to start. I’m extremely sad that this is the last book in the series. Wes and Ada are by far my top couple but CAM AND DUSTYYY are like right under. I love this story. The second chance romance is everything.

It did feel like it was more high tension towards the middle with the build up.

The epilogue and bonus chapter had me SO SAPPY.

Oh Lyla Sage for the WIN!! This story of Cam and Dusty is enthralling! Read this in one day! It does help to read the series in order- there are a lot of characters! This is quickly paced, not predictable and so fun! Highly recommend! Thanks to NetGalley for an early copy!

Not my favorite Rebel Blue book but still a very sweet romance with some spice.

I love Cam as a MC and Dusty seems so dreamy. I love a second chance trope and this was really well done. I just didn’t like how Cam was such a pushover about everything in her life. I don’t feel like she made a single decision for herself. I also didn’t like that she got so worked up over the house ownership near the end. It felt like the author needed some drama and couldn’t come up with anything better.

Overall, it’s fine and it’s a nice end to the Rebel Blue series. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this title!

Somehow my favorite duo of the whole series??? Fingers crossed Lyla Sage heads to Alaska for her next romance novel…

Lyla Sage you did it again!!! There's something about her writing that gets you every time. Like I said in my Lost and Lassoed review, "The thing I love about Lyla Sage is that you know exactly what you’re in for. It’s predictable in a comforting way – that we know the area and the townsfolk already that it’s arguably a homecoming when you read a new book in the series." I really hope that this isn't the last in the series, there are so many people I'd love to see more of. Chiefly Amos - a prequel with his love story? I'd die!!

On this book specifically though, Cam and Dusty's relationship has always been so vague in the other books. The fact that this is them was amazing, but also that we got the flashback chapters of them first meeting in high school, their early romance and the fallout was so interesting. I love love love these two and they were so cute. Usually a dude pinning after a girl for over 15 years would be a major red flag, but Dusty is a gem. We all need a Dusty in our lives. Plus the spice? Heck yeah🥵

Thank you so much Netgalley for this ARC!

🌶️4.5🥵
⭐️4.5 (rounded up!)

Well I devoured the rest of the series, I struggled to get through this one. I don’t know if it was a fear of it being the end of Rebel Blue Ranch characters, or if this rekindled relationship just wasn’t for me. I just found the things they fought over frustrating and easily solvable, especially as adults. It was still okay, just definitely not my favorite in the series.

No you don’t understand, I am obsessed. Lyla this series was it. Every book I go this one is my favorite of the series. When in reality this series is just one of my favorites. I can’t even put into words how much I truly loved this. I was kicking my feet the whole time. Cam and Dusty, everyone take notes please, this is how you write a second chance trope. The pacing was perfection. Truly everything about this book was just a perfect way to end this series.

I loved all of the girls obviously. But the men really shined in this. I thought I was gonna be forever a Gus girly. But I am now a full blown Dusty girl. Only Lyla, Hannah, and Suzanne could ever make me love a blond haha.

Thank you Lyla for writing this, and thank you to my best friend for making me read these.

A perfect pick for a second chance cowboy romance reader! Book 4 in the Rebel Ranch series did not disappoint.

Dusty and Cam's story was heartwarming through and through. A story about so many firsts and lasts, you often forget that despite what many naysayers may say, sometimes it really is all about 'right person, wrong time'. Despite Cam's uphill battle, consisting of a family that teaches her that love must be earned and monetarily bought, Dusty's love for Cam is given freely and openly. The focus on Cam's daughter Riley and the relationship with a second parent was so honest and raw throughout the plot of the book. To love Cam, you had to love her daughter. Dusty showed through showing up consistently that he was more than willing to do both. This was the uplifting and moving story that I knew Lyla Sage would write to finalize the Rebel Blue Ranch Series. I am sad to know that it is goodbye to this series, but l am grateful to be a part of the Rebel Blue Family. I want to thank NetGalley and Dial Press for this ARC.

Perfect end to a series. Wasn’t too long. Enjoyed the glimpses to all of the other memorable characters. Can’t wait to read more of Lyla Sage!

I am torn about this! I loved being back in the world of Rebel Blue. And of course, the covers! Oh, I will never shut up about these covers. But the romance between Dusty and Cam fell flat for me. I am not a huge fan of the second chance trope, so that was probably part of it. I was hoping that learning more about their past would help me immerse in the story, but it was broken up through the book in a way that made me want to scream at the characters to spit it out and/or just talk already, In the end, this was an okay read, but, in my opinion, a weak ending to an otherwise VERY strong series.

I’ve really loved being in Meadowlark since book one. This series is so cozy and Lyla brought that same feeling while also sprinkling in aching tenderness of a second chance romance. I loved that we got flashbacks to their relationship formation and growth and how it intertwined with present day. I’ll say my only gripes with this book is I felt the third act conflict was a little weak and didn’t feel entirely believable to me personally and that took away from the book for me. I still loved it as a whole but felt it could have been more impactful if it had been more fleshed out and throughout the book for a stronger build up

3.5 rounded up. Cam & Dusty’s story was the perfect close to the Rebel Blue series. Second chance romance/friends to lovers to strangers to friends to lovers pipeline. Dusty was a great character, he made a good addition to the series. It was also nice to see all the usual Rebel Blue Ranch suspects. And the bonus epilogue was so sweet!

Cons: I didn’t think that there was enough tension in the current between Cam and Dusty. The flashbacks were good at building the story up but it kind of fell flat in the present. Nothing in a Lyla Sage book is a truly groundbreaking reading experience but her characters feel so cozy and the imagery is very vivid for me, which makes up for the lack of differentness - if that makes sense.

Thank you to Dell and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

"Wild and Wrangled" is a satisfying conclusion to the Rebel Blue Ranch series. Lyla Sage's heartwarming storytelling and the charming characters make this a delightful read for fans of contemporary romance.
