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.

Okie so I really liked this closing book for the Rebel Blue Ranch series, it was very cute. I love Dusty as the MMC, he's a charismatic golden retriever. I rated this a 4/5 bc I still do not understand the dynamics of how Riley came to be between Gus and Cam, like it's assumed it was just a drunken sad night, but is that all? I also don't like how we didn't really get closure with Cam's parents. This being said though, this is my second favorite book in this series after, Lost and Lassoed. A side note: the covers NEVER fail, they are all so beautiful.

Thank you NetGalley and Dial Press for the E-ARC.

I loved the first three books in this series so I was expecting to love this one as well, and it did not disappoint. I loved Camille and Dusty together, every interaction between the two made me want to either have their story never end or for me to live their story.
I would say read the first three in this series just to get an understanding of the world and the characters that pop up, but it is definitely worth it as all the books make you love a classic cowboy romance even more.

This cover is not only beyond beautiful and yes I am one to judge a book by its cover I just am that type of person don't hate. But this book is chefs kiss just as good as the first three books. Dusty is just Devine. There is truly no better feeling than seeing those two high school sweethearts find their way back to each other and to finally understand where their time wasn't 15 years ago. If you liked books 1-3 or just any of them at all get this one and read it you will not regret it. My only down side is I wish it was longer.

Thank you so much to Netgally for providing me with an ARC for Wild and Wrangled!
The end of this series is so bittersweet to me! I read Done and Dusted the week it first came out as an indie book and it immediately became one of my favorite romance books ever! I could not stop talking about it for months after finishing. I’ve also had the privilege of reading all three of the next books in the series as ARCs and each one has just became more and more special to me! The end of this series is so heartbreaking, but I honestly do not think it could end with a better book. All of that being said I cannot wait to see what Lyla Sage has in store next!
I know I say this every time I write a Layla Sage review but OMG THIS IS MY FAVORITE BOOK OF HERS YET!! I swear her writing just keeps getting more and more phenomenal! I also do not think I have loved a book as much as this one in over a year!
Cam is by far her most relatable character she has ever written and Dusty is also so unique to the stereotypical small town romance male main character.
I absolutely ADORED the flashbacks from their high school romance. This was honestly one of the most beautifully done second chance romances and friends to lovers I think I have ever read!
I also just really loved the way Lyla Sage does single parent stories and how it is a factor but not the main focus on the character. She does a very good job of making being a parent not the only personality trait of her characters and making sure their original traits still shine through strong!

This has been such a fun series. I absolutely loved this second chance romance. I really appreciate the communication Cam has with her found family. I also appreciate the way Dusty is in this book, respectful and thoughtful of the other person. He tries to give space when necessary, but also knows when enough is enough. I will highly recommend this series to romance readers. I will review this book again as it gets closer on our library blog as well as my socials.

This was the fourth of the Rebel Blue series and by far my favorite. Dusty and Cam were my favorite characters before I even started and Lyla Sage delivered above and beyond expectations. It was moving and funny and surprising. Most of all, Wild and Wrangled felt like coming home. Thank you Net Galley for the advanced copy! I am probably going to read this 10 more times before it is released 💙

This book felt like a roller coaster in the best way. It's everything you want a second chance romance to be. Cam and Dusty are everything and their story will permanently live rent free in my head. It tugs on your heartstrings, and after three books in this world you become so invested in these characters, and Lyla has a way of making you feel like you're part of this family. You forget that you're reading and that you dont know these people in real life and when things get hard you can't run to the big house and hope that Amos will give you life changing adivce then cook you a homemade meal. It's bittersweet to be saying good bye to Rebel Blue- but man was it one hell of a ride.

This book was so good I devoured it. I have recently gotten into cowboy or country romance and am loving every minute of it. I cannot wait to hand sell this at my store but I think it will sell itself. This was a wild ride and I enjoyed it very much.

All I can say is I loved this so much. I hope it is not the end end, but even if it is, I am satisfied with how it did end. The characters, the family and home building. The way they the relationships were portrayed realistically. This story was so good and I am glad that I read the series. I have enjoyed it more than I thought i would.

Another cowboy classic; Lyla Sage never fails to make me believe that big love exists somewhere out there in the wild. Cam and Dusty’s second chance at being together bursts with pent-up longing and years of words unsaid.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for giving me access to the ARC of Wild and Wrangled!
I have been a dedicated reader to this series, even though I have never really LOVED a book from it. I remember when I first read Done and Dusted thinking that Lyla Sage as an author has a ton of potential! And I think that that potential has been achieved!
I think where the other books lack, this one soared! The character development and growth was really great and they each had their own struggles that were believable and relatable.
I think my problem with the previous books too were that they were rushed at times. This was extremely well paced and balanced.
I think the fans of the Rebel Blue Ranch series are going to be very happy with this ending!

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.
