This was such a delight to read!!! I haven’t read too many second-chance romances but I found myself really enjoying the trope. This book had so much heart and I could really feel the love between Cam and Dusty! This was a great book to wrap up a lovely series. I’m sad that this is the last one :(

Severely disappointed in this one! I was hoping this would add up to d+d or l+l but it just doesn’t! This book was just fine. Breadcrumbs were great but I felt like the characters were rushed and it felt like a half assed attempt. This is similar to my argument with Swift and saddled. I felt that lost and lassoed should’ve been the second book in the series because of the set up however she chose to put Swift and saddled in as a placeholder which forces the reader to read an extra book before they actually get the characters that they want Unfortunately, I feel like this book just didn’t add up and it was rushed and not actually thought out

God this was so good. Dusty is the absolute dream. My only complaint is I want more. Just a little longer. A few more in between scenes that are just FUN.

I don’t even know how to start this review because I’m heartbroken I’ve finished the book. Wild and Wrangled is by far my favorite in the Rebel Blue Ranch series.
Cam and Dusty’s story is the perfect ending for this series. Their rekindling of a love that never fully burned out was written so beautifully, I actually teared up a few times. I’m not usually a fan of second chance romances. This story has changed that and given me very high expectations.
Dusty is the best mmc, The love he held onto for 15 years, just so heartbreakingly romantic. I really enjoyed Cam as well. She came off as the best mix of trying to be what her parents told her to be and trying to just be herself. That internal struggle and her need to break that generational trauma was written wonderfully.
I do wish there had been a little more of a conclusion with Cam and her parents. That situation just seemed unfinished to me.
The epilogue was also perfect for their story!
Side notes
*I’ve always appreciated how Lyla Sage wrote about Cam and Gus’s coparenting. The way she has fit their partners into their relationship with Riley is perfect!
*The bonus scene was amazing and made me cry!

Thank you so much NetGalley for the ARC!

Sweet and steamy 2nd chance romance. I really enjoyed Cam and Dusty’s story. I’ve never read this author’s work before but I will definitely read more from her in the future. I recommend this book.

I finally finished this book because I wanted to savor every little piece. I have more highlighted quotes than probably any book ever. This is a tender second chance story between two people who have deeply loved each other, but it's always been right person, wrong time until now. It has that soulmate quality, and I cried like a baby. God bless you, Lyla Sage, for that special scene you added to the end of the book. May both sides of your pillow always be cold.
Gosh, I have loved my time reading about the Rebel Blue Ranch and the tender way you tell these stories.

What a perfect ending to such a sweet series. Second chance romance is so hard to well in my opinion but Ms Sage did it. Loved the look back at where all the other couples from there’s are in their lives. Can’t wait to see what the author does next!

Lyla those notes 😭😭😭😭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!

I’m sad to see the end of this series.

I really enjoy a second chance romance and this one was a good one for me.

I didn’t really like the back and forth between time but once that was over I enjoyed the story.

I would have liked more of Riley in the story and see how Dusty adapts with a child in the house.

I’m so sad to say goodbye to Rebel Blue Ranch and these characters. This is truly one of my favorite series of all time. I have never read a series this quickly before and I have never read the entirety of a series back to back like I did with this one.

I knew this book was about Cam and Dusty so my expectations were high, but their story exceeded my expectations and is quite possibly my favorite book in the series.

I loved the jumps between the present and the past — the insight into their relationship added so much to the story. I’ve been rooting for these two since they were introduced in the series and it was so fun to see the push and pull of their dynamic from friends to lovers to strangers to friends to lovers. The growth they both did during their time apart made them getting back together that much more special. Truly incredible.

I also loved getting to see more of Riley in this book!! Seeing her get comfortable with Dusty the same way she did with Teddy was a joy.

And the epilogue!!! The PERFECT ending to Cam and Dusty’s story 🫶🏻

This was the perfect mix of angst, spice, and the family that we’ve come to know over the course of this series.

This series will always hold a special place in my heart 💖

Sage finished her Rebel Blue Ranch series with this final heartwarming and captivating book. Returning to the ranch one last time feels like coming home if one has read the entire series, once again a romance full of charm, emotional depth, and that perfect Wild West flair. This time, the reader finally gets to dive deep into Cam and Dusty’s story, which has only ever been hinted toward in the previous books. Cam—or as Dusty lovingly calls her, Ash—is a devoted mother to Riley, having always put her daughter first. I loved how the book portrayed her journey of finding happiness after many years of sacrifice. Even though she had to wait for 15 years, Cam finally gets her well-deserved happy ending with her true love. Dusty is the kind of man who stands out—steady, loyal, patient, making her feel loved and secure in ways she never expected. I also appreciated how the book explores the challenges and fears of being a step-parent, which adds the nuance and complexity that is needed for a romance book to succeed. All in all a wonderful way to end this series!

What if, just once, Lyla Sage didn't make me sob with a book in this series?

Cam and Dusty are so lovely and hot and vulnerable and real. How we get to their happy ending feels so earned, and everything about them works effortlessly. The messiness, the beauty -- all of it. I bawled during the last three (four? I don't know, I lost count) chapters and also straight-up wailed during the added bonus of Emmy and Luke's wedding. I never want this series to end. Perfect perfect perfect.

Thank you NetGalley for letting me read this book!
I really enjoyed this one! It was not my favorite of the series but it was still a really good read.
If you're a fan of second chance romances this will definitely be for you!
Dusty Tucker is a hell of a mmc - reading how his and Camilles relationship evolved was really interesting. It was different from how Lyla Sage had done in the past and I enjoyed it!
Can't believe I have finished this series and cannot wait for more from this author!

I can't believe it's over!

Rebel Blue holds such a special place on my shelf and in my heart and this last installment is no different.

If you love second-chance romances, this is THE second-chance romance! Dusty and Cam's story is one of the purest love and utter devotion. Every action between these two was made with love and longing and I ate up every second of it! You can't help but fall head-over-heels in love with their story from page one (or when we see them in Swift and Saddled).

This was such a perfect way for Lyla to wrap up this series and I cried for quite a while when it was over. The perfect found family for all of us to belong to, because these people are real, right?

This was a perfect conclusion to the Rebel Blue Ranch books. I honestly think this might have been my favorite in the series. Lyla's writing just keeps getting better and better. I loved seeing Dusty and Cam's relationship fall back into place and the flashback moments made everything better. I'm a sucker for books that include an epistolary element and this did not disappoint in that department. These books are just so heartwarming and Rebel Blue is my comfort place now. I can see myself coming back to any of these books when I just need a little bit of joy.

I’m really sad to say goodbye to the Rebel Blue Ranch crew as I’ve come to love all these characters so much. To be honest, story-wise, Wild & Wrangled fell a bit flat for me when compared to the previous books. It was missing a bit of the oomph and charm that the others had. However… DUSTY! 😮‍💨 I love him so much! Lyla really knows how to write her men and Dusty is now easily one of my favs alongside Gus.

This series will always hold a special place in my heart. 💖

The most perfect conclusion to a beautiful series! Dusty and Cam have been background characters through three Rebel Blue Ranch books, but in this one we get to see them get a second chance at love. Just like every book in the series, Lyla Sage knows her characters inside and out which creates a story you care about.

All of these books feel like a warm hug, which thankfully "Wild and Wrangled" continues. Without sacrificing depth, this book brings an easy and fun read that you will devour.

Lyla Sage hits it out of the park again! Now to impatiently wait for Amos' books!

Thank you NetGalley and Dial Press for the ARC!

Lyla Sage brings the Rebel Blue Ranch series to a heartfelt and bittersweet end with Wild and Wrangled. This novel is a second chance romance about love and healing. Camille Ashwood is a planner, but when her meticulously crafted future crumbles on her wedding day, she’s forced to reimagine her life. This starts in a small town, with a new home next door to her first love, Dusty Tucker. Dusty must confront his unresolved feelings for Cam when the forced proximity rekindles old sparks. The chemistry and building tension between them is sizzling! This is a must read finale!

Thank you to Dial Press & Netgalley for providing me this ARC 💕

Lyla Sage, I LOVE YOU. thank you for creating characters that will be living rent free in my head for the unforeseeable future. i loved the crumbs we had gotten of cam & dusty in the previous books & never would i have imagined loving them this much. cam gives independent girl boss in the best possible way and i think she was the perfect addition to the rebel blue ranch series. dustyyyy😭 you have my entire heart! the way this man loves cam was so beautiful to witness. THE YEARNING!! i loved being able to get past and present timelines and because of that, it made this book feel so cozy and truly like a warm hug wrapped in one. this gave ‘the notebook’ vibes and i could not get enough of it. this book was so realistic when it came to the conflicts & resolution and i appreciated that very much.

the only issue i had with wild & wrangled was that i wanted more. i think the pacing fell off a little towards the end of the book and i would’ve loved 50 more pages of their story. i blame it on the fact that i love these characters so much. i would’ve also loved to see more of riley but it just proved how strong the found family is and how it truly takes a village sometimes.

overall, super grateful that i was able to experience this book months early and discovering this series has been such an amazing journey. i cannot wait to see what Lyla Sage has in store for her upcoming works!! to the rebel blue ranch family, you’ll be missed & a piece of my heart is staying in this series ✨

4.75/5

What a fantastic ending to this series!!!

Lyla writes pure joy. Her stories are filled with a beautiful representation of found family, characters coming into their own, and truly just the warmest love stories. I am so sad to be leaving this series, but she beautifully and effortlessly crafted the perfect ending in my opinion. (The epilogue was PERFECTION and made me SO EMO!!!!)

I was in love with Cam and Dusty's love story. I"m not normally a huge fan of a jump back and forth; however, I loved the insight into their relationship and the parallels from the past and the present. I've been rooting for the two of them since Swift and Saddled, and it was such a joy to see the push and pull of their dynamic from lovers to strangers to friends back to lovers.

I don't want to say too much or give anything away but the girlies are truly going to LOVE THIS. It's such a fantastic mix of angst, spice, and all the family meddling that we know and love from the Ryder Clan. Chapter 39 and 40 truly have me in a CHOKEHOLD.

The girlies are going to eat this one up and everyone is going to be obsessed with Cam and Dusty.

Thank you Dial Press, Lyla Sage, and NetGalley for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.
