I liked Dusty and Cam's origin story. Some of the intimate scenes were a little cringey for me. Cam was so stubborn I was like, girl get over yourself! However it was a great, bittersweet bookend to the series.

Wild and Wrangled by Lyla Sage is a 5-star, slow-burn romance that completely stole my heart 💌

Cam and Dusty’s journey from childhood sweethearts to something lasting was filled with emotion, chemistry, and so many unforgettable moments — the notes he kept, the tattoos, the house he bought for them, and that perfect nickname angel 🥹

Dusty learning to dance for her, being there for Riley, and loving her through everything… he’s the softest cowboy and I’m obsessed. 🐎

This book was tender, nostalgic, and just so good ❤️

A great found second chance love romance in a familiar universe. The story of Cam and Dusty is hopeful, full of love, and a little spice. I enjoy all of Lyla Sage's books but this made me smile from ear to ear. 10/10

GOD I LOVE LYLA SAGE SO MUCH. With every book that comes out in this series I think "this is it! this is the one! this is my favorite in the series!" and then she goes and releases the next book and I have a new favorite. And she did it again. This is my new favorite in the series. I would die for Dusty and Cam, I loved them both so much and I'm so happy we finally got their story.

I'm just so, so sad that this series is over. I loved our time at Rebel Blue Ranch and I'm so sad that this is it for us. I could've read 30 more books in this series and been perfectly happy. But as sad as I am to see this end, I am so excited to see what's to come.

Love this series and author, but this one fell flat. Even at the end, I still felt like I didn't really know the main couple very well. I was rooting for them but wasn't connected. The Rebel Blue world, community, and couples are richer in the other books of this series.

Thanks Netgalley and publisher for the arc!

I'm actually so sad that this series is actually over. rebel blue ranch is one of my comfort settings and so I'm bummed that we have to say goodbye (for now. im in denial and fully believe that we'll come back at some point).
im still a wada stan so im glad we sort of got a semi similar dynamic in this book. I thought that cam's issues were a little tooooo relatable at times lol but I think that's why l also got frustrated with her. and of course, dusty was as sexy asl thought he was going to be. guess im a blond, tattooed cowboy apologist because dusty can do no wrong in my eyes.
this comes out in less than a month and I cannnnnnnot wait to hold this one in my hands.

Lyla Sage knows how to write the perfect man always. I really enjoyed this story, however it fell flat for me at times. It didn’t grip me into the story as the others did. I enjoyed Dusty’s character, he was so sweet and I could feel how much he loved Cam. However, I felt like Cams character wasn’t developed enough or fully. I felt like she lacked luster. Like there were wholes to her character that weren’t fully filled. I wish she was done more justice, I wish she were the one to have stood up to her parents and put her foot down and not Dusty. She never stood up for herself and when she did, did she really gave to then? Anyways, still a good book.

My final ride to Rebel Blue and it was so bitter sweet. I adored this series from book one of Done & Dusted to this one right here: Wild & Wrangled. I am a sucker for second chance romance and this was really settled into that little part of my heart that loves them so much. I really think that the last book in the series is sad because it's ending, but it's so fun to watch all the characters you've fallen in love with come back and you can love them so much because by now you really feel like you know them. This entire series truly did feel like sunshine and blue skies.

DUSTY IS THE MAN IF MY DREAMS!!!!

Give me a man who yearns and I eat it up every time. Now give me a tattooed man who yearns and i devour. Loved Cam and Dusty’s story. Sad to say goodbye to this series but what a way to go out.

This is the fourth book in the western series. I have fallen in love with the western romances and this one doesn't disappoint. Highly recommend!

I'm a fan of this series and the last book was no exception, the family and friends we met in eralier books all show up and this one continued to the threads

This was the perfect end to the Meadowlark Series! I love Lyla Sage & her writing and can‘t wait for what she is writing next!

Lyla Sage’s Wild and Wrangled concludes the Rebel Blue Ranch series with a deeply resonating heartfelt second-chance romance. The story follows Camille Ashwood, a single mother left at the altar, who finds herself living next door to her first love, Dusty Tucker. As they navigate their shared past and present, their rekindled connection unfolds.

I was looking forward to the final installment of this series, and I didn't love it. "Wile and Wrangled" is its own story, but relies on a supporting family of characters, so it's best appreciated as part of the series.

What I liked: Dusty is just so sweet. The positive representation of coparenting is also a highlight, as is the contrast between supportive parents and distant parents. Camille's continuing struggle with her emotionally distant parents is a thoughtful inclusion.

What I didn't like: Cam is frustratingly blind to a trap of her own making. The third-act breakup was super predictable and annoying. I wish that time had been spent resolving Cam's relationship with her parents, but she neither confronts them nor ever acknowledges to herself that she can live her life without their money. It was frustrating to have so few of her family and internal conflicts resolved.

Overall, the Rebel Blue Ranch series was very enjoyable, and I'll be looking forward to what Lyla Sage writes next.

Thank you to NetGalley & the publisher for providing an eARC for review.

Rating: 4.5⭐️

Thank you to the publisher for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review.

This was the perfect end to an amazing series! I loved getting to see Cam get her happily ever after. I thought the flashbacks were the perfect form of storytelling for Cam and Dusty’s story. It just added so much to their history! I also loved seeing the other characters through out the story. They just add so much and I’m glad we got to see their impact on both Cam and Dusty’s lives.
And yes I did cry at the additional epilogue in the book. I think it’s the perfect full circle moment for this incredible series!

What a perfect end to the Rebel Blue Ranch series. I have loved all four of these books. This one is perfect for those who love second chance romances. Cam and Dusty had a relationship when they were young, and even though they truly loved one another, they couldn’t make it work because they both wanted different things. When they both move back home, and she unknowingly moves into the house he owns and right next door, they are forced to confront one another and admit that they never got over each other. If you didn’t love Dusty from the previous books, readers will surely love him after this one! He falls first and brings the swoon!

Wild and Wrangled was the absolute perfect ending to this universe - a beautiful homage to everything Rebel and its people, as well as the home and hope and community Lyla’s created here. Lyla is simply masterful in what she does, and brought everything in this book full circle—all the dots and stars aligning from the very first page of D&D to the very last of W&W. It was beautiful and powerful and fated and magical and filled to the brim with love and longing and YEARNING and joy. I am genuinely going to be thinking about it for the rest of my life.

Lyla has a way with words that cut right through me and dig themselves under my sternum. I feel seen in every story of hers, safe in the characters she handcrafts to be kind and flawed and loving and messy and worthy of love. Cam and Dusty both spoke to me in different ways. They’re such different characters in the RBR universe—Cam in her people pleasing search for perfectionism and satisfying everyone else at the cost of her own happiness, and Dusty in his desire to finally put down roots, wanting to feel still and settled for the first time in his adult life. It’s a profoundly beautiful thing to watch two people who are destined to be together, go their separate ways, live a whole lot of life to become the people they need to be, find each other again and still fit, maybe not exactly how they used to but in a whole new way that’s stronger and more solid.

Wild & Wrangled – Lyla Sage
⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

This was a fun, easy read that helped pull me out of a reading slump—exactly the kind of low-stakes, warm-weather book I needed to kick off summer.

It wrapped up the series well and gave me that satisfying “goodbye for now” feeling with characters I’ve come to enjoy. While it wasn’t a standout for me, I still had a good time with it and flew through it quickly.

Now I’m looking forward to seeing what Lyla Sage gives us next—bring on the fall release!

I've loved this series! Was very excited to read it before it's release and was not at all disappointed. Loved the characters and trajectory of this story. Such funny and heartwarming writing.

I’ll admit it—going into The Rebel Blue Ranch series by Lyla Sage, I didn’t expect a cowboy romance to hook me the way it did. After devouring the three novels before Wild & Wrangled, unsurprisingly, from the very first chapter, I was captured. Lyla Sage pulled me into a world of rugged charm, emotional vulnerability, and slow-burning chemistry that completely surprised me—in the best possible way.

Set against the backdrop of the Wyoming mountains, Wild and Wrangled offers more than just your typical love story. It’s a light, easy read—what I’d lovingly call a “beach read”—perfect for when you want to escape into a feel-good story that doesn’t skimp on heart. The characters are full of life, the pacing is smooth, and the romance is sweet, a little spicy, and genuinely satisfying.

I was lucky enough to read this book through NetGalley, but I knew pretty quickly that I wanted a copy for my shelf. In fact, I’ve already purchased my own and can’t wait to paint the edges and make it a one-of-a-kind edition—something that reflects how this story surprised and stuck with me.

Whether you’re already a fan of cowboy romances or, like me, just curious and open to being swept away, Wild and Wrangled is the kind of story that charms you when you least expect it. It’s warm, witty, and well worth the read.

I would love to give this book 4.2 stars.
