Lyla Sage has been on the scene for a couple years now with the success of the Rebel Blue Ranch series. It has been on my periphery, as my best friend is a massive fan of the series and we are going to the book release next weekend! What I wasn’t expecting was how much I would fall in love with the world Sage has built within the four books and the characters feeling like people I would want in my orbit. I’ve spent the past two weeks devouring the first three novels and was sent an eARC of the newest release ‘Wild and Wrangled’ and didn’t want the story to end.

‘Wild and Wrangled’ concludes the story of the Rebel Blue Ranch with the characters of Dusty and Cam. Their lives diverted after a horrible breakup post high-school, and fate found its way to bring them back together again. Dusty has found himself back in Meadowlark and thriving at the Rebel Blue Ranch. Cam is fresh off a runaway-groom situation and is beginning to piece her life back together. I don’t want to tell anymore than this, as the story is beautiful and such a great ending to the Meadowlark crew. The additional epilogue was a tear-jerker and a perfect little bow to tie up this quartet.

Thank you @netgalley and @thedialpress for this eARC. ‘Wild and Wrangled’ is available for pre-order and will be released Tuesday, April 15.

A great series and this was a great addition to it (even if ending it breaks my heart). Seeing Dusty and Cam's story resolve and grow is a perfect way to pull the series to a close since we've seen them circling toward this story for a while. As always this book is like a cozy bath that just lets me sink deep into. I appreciated the balance to seeing the cast of characters over the series but also letting Dusty and Cam shine through. Their chemistry and angst were so well done and made me root so hard for their long awaited happily ever after.
Each book I read of Lyla Sage cements to me that I will read everything she writes - there is no trope, topic, or genre that I didn't think I would like that she can't make me fall in love with.

I'm just a little bit heartbroken this is my last visit to Rebel Blue Ranch. I have loved each book, Cam and Dusty's love was a wonderful send off.
I have a hard time calling this a second chance romance because the love they shared never ended <3
Can't wait to see what Lyla Sage has in store.

This was such a great ending to the series and so sad it is over. Honestly, this one may be my favorite of them all. Swoony romance wth realistic vibes that don’t seem out of reach. Can’t wait for others to read this one!

the second chance romance lover in me was sooo at home with this story. cam & dusty had the rare, all consuming young love, seeing them fall for each other again in adulthood was just the best. lyla sage created magic when she wrote this series, and this was the perfect ending. sad to leave rebel blue ranch, loved getting to spend time here the last two years 🥹

*thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC of this title. All thoughts and opinions are my own and were in no way influenced by receiving this copy.

Based off the cover I really thought Greg was going to be abusive and that’s why the wedding got called off, so I was very happy when that wasn’t the case.

I loved this series so much but this one just left something to be desired, idk. It had less ranch time (which makes sense), but it lacked that thing that drew me in to the other books because of it. So I think that’s what made me enjoy this just ever so slightly less. Also for Cam being Riley’s mom in the same sense that Gus is her dad, we saw her way less in this book than we did in Gus’.

I loved the flash backs to tell their parallel stories, so we could see what happened the first time alongside our current love story. I like that their story started slow with them becoming friends before jumping into a relationship. I think a lot of teen based relationships in books skip that step.

There was also the loose end with her parents that I kinda don’t understand how that could’ve been left out. Like they had this big blow up that Cam and Dusty ran away from, and then we just never hear from them again. With as much as Cam sought their approval and based everything she did around their own wants over hers, I was expecting more resolution than this. Though maybe the author intended the gala blowup to serve as the resolution, I didn’t really get that vibe from that interaction.

Overall though, a good conclusion to our story! I kinda wish Kenny got a book since he had been around since chapter one of book one. So maybe in the future..???

Wild and Wrangled is the last book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series and it's definitely bittersweet. I've loved this series and getting to be with this fantastic group of people. In this book we finally focus on Camille and Dusty and their long overdue happy ever after. They have quite the history so the had some challenged to overcome but that definitely made the happy ever after all the sweeter. I loved getting to see all our other characters be so involved in this love story and how they've all grown. I really look forward to reading whatever Lyla Sage does not!

Also, the epilogue made me bawl because I love them all so much,

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an arc for an honest review.

(I have since bought a physical copy of this book because I love it.)

A wonderful way to wrap up this series! I love Lyla and cannot wait to see what she does next. Great chemistry and great characters. A big yes for romance fans!

the final installment of the rebel blue ranch series and I'm sad to see if go but this couldn't have ended on a sweeter note. Cam and Dusty's chemistry is TOP TIER and Lyla Sage expertly bottles their tension in a way few authors can do and do well.

I think this was my favorite one!! And that’s hard to say!!! I’m sad it’s over, but dang what an amazing series!!

Camille becomes a jilted bride when her groom leaves her at the isle. She turns to the town and people she found comfort in her whole life - Meadowlark, Wyoming and Rebel Blue Ranch. And there she finds Dusty Tucker her first and some might say her only love. When she has to start over, she decides to finally do it in way that is on her terms and her terms alone. Not her overly critical and unloving parents, not her friends, or her daughter. Just hers. As she learns to stand up for herself, she also learns how to maybe be friends with Dusty. If only he wasn't also her neighbor and in every memory of her young life in Meadowlark.


Dusty and Camille's story was nostalgic and beautiful. A true second chance 'it's always been you' tale.
Lyla's writing is beautiful and paints a beautiful picture that played out in my mind like a movie.
The Rebel Blue Ranch crew will be missed, but like Lyla said in the forward...nothing lasts forever, not even goodbyes!

Thank you to Netgalley and Random House Publishing Group for the E-Arc
This was my first cowboy romance and I can see the appeal! This book was fun and not what I was expecting. I liked Cam and right away felt for her since we start off immediately with her being left at the alter. Dusty is the guy that every girl wants. He's funny, charming, and knows everything about you and how to deal with your different emotions. I had a lot of fun reading this and learning about their past and why they broke up in the first place. I was a little sad that we didn't see more of Riley. I get that she just got stood up so we were focusing on her moving on from that but I felt like that was a relationship that could have been better explored. Overall I thought this was a fun first cowboy romance for me. I will say towards the end of the book is where you started to lose me...

SPOILERS AHEAD

Around the 80% mark is where you started to lose me. I wasn't sure why there was so much left in the book. She was with him, he loved her kid, everyone was happy they were together, and they both had jobs. Happily ever after right? Wrong. As one might have predicted Dusty was the one who owned the house and he forgot to tell her. Instead of having a conversation she got mad that she didn't know because it meant that she didn't own it. Even though she never did... because she was renting it. I get that the author was trying to show how Cam was trying to run away again so she couldn't get hurt but this was silly. It didn't make a whole lot of sense to me to blow up an entire relationship for something so stupid.

What a way to end a series. This story wrapped up the Rebel Blue Ranch series perfectly with the second chance romance between Cam and Dusty. The book goes between present day and the past, telling us how they first fell in love and how they fell apart, as well as how they come back together. There are also appearances from our favorite characters from the past books. I laughed, I cried, I fell in love. I highly recommend this one to anyone who loves second chance romances, single mom finding love, and miscommunication (I know this one can be a love/hate for some {me}).

I've read the first three books in this series and was really looking forward to this one. It was good. I liked the story. It just wasn't anything special. I didn't feel a deep connection to the characters like the previous books.

Steamy hot, sweet and satisfying- this is the latest installment in one of my favorite romance series, and I can’t wait for the next one! Lyla Sage knows how to write a perfect romance novel. I like small town romance and spice - this series has it all!

Lyla writes the type of green flag men and women that I NEEDED to read when I was in my twenties, and I love her for that!

Cam is the one that got away. Dusty is the lovesick, tattooed cowboy who never let her go. Wild and Wrangled is a Second Chance cowboy romance book by Lyla Sage that takes place in the fictional town of Meadowlark, Wyoming. It is the 4th and final book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series. I thoroughly enjoyed this last installment of this beloved small town romance series. I had been looking forward to reading Cam and Dusty’s story ever since it was hinted at in a previous book, and I found that it was well worth the wait.

This book was emotional, heartwarming, and healing. Dusty Tucker is the greenest of green flags. He is a BEACON for those who crave a book that has the healthiest portrayal of masculinity I’ve ever read! In all of her books, I think Lyla does an excellent job of allowing us to see just enough of the other characters that are special to us while still keeping the primary focus on the main two characters (I absolutely loved getting to see more of Ada and Wes in this one!) Second Chance romances can be hard to pull off in ways that are believable and don’t portray the characters as unlikable or potentially too problematic. For personal reasons, the Second Chance trope is special to me, and I think Lyla knocked it out of the park; the situation as to what caused Cam and Dusty to drift apart and what brought them back together was perfectly understandable. It felt like a very real story that one might hear about a friend and I’m sure it’s one that many who met their first love as a teenager can relate to. The flashbacks to when Cam and Dusty were teenagers were dispersed throughout the present plot perfectly and they added so much depth to the characters.
Lastly, if you are a fan of books that are driven just as much by character development as they are by the plot, this book is for you!


Content & Trigger Warnings:
-Loss of a parent (Although this topic is not addressed in much detail, the fact that a character has lost a parent is mentioned a few times)

Thank you NetGalley for proving me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review!

This book is the perfect end to the series and everyone gets their happy ending. There are moments to laugh, crying, and sob even harder. You see the struggles of one side yearning and find it is your favorite trope. Get you a man like Dusty and when you read this you will know why.

Wild and Wrangled by Lyla Sage was such a perfect ending to the Rebel Blue series! I absolutely loved the writing — it pulled me right in and kept me hooked the whole time. The characters were so likeable, and the way they flirted and bantered with each other was just so good. The epilogue especially hit all the right notes and wrapped everything up in such a satisfying way. Definitely a new favorite!

Wild and Wrangled is a fast-paced, steamy cowboy romance with heart, heat, and a whole lot of swagger. Em Petrova delivers exactly what fans of western romance crave: rugged charm, emotional depth, and off-the-charts chemistry.

The characters are what really shine here. The hero is all things swoon-worthy—strong, loyal, and a little rough around the edges—while the heroine holds her own with sass and strength. Together, their connection crackles with tension and passion, and watching their relationship unfold is a total treat.

Petrova’s writing captures the grit and beauty of ranch life, with a rich setting that makes you feel like you're right there on the range. There’s plenty of drama, romance, and heartwarming moments, but also a sense of family and loyalty that grounds the story beautifully.

If you’re into cowboy romances with fiery passion, strong heroines, and protective, smoldering heroes, Wild and Wrangled is for you. It’s the perfect escape read—sexy, heartfelt, and totally addictive.

Lyla Sage does it again! I love her writing and storytelling so much, she is so masterful at bringing a story together in a way that is unexpected, but not hated. I loved Dusty and Cam so much and it was such a fun read. I also loved how this book had flashbacks in it, it really added a new level of depth to the story and I think they were crucial in understanding how meaningful their relationship was to each other. Highly recommend and can't wait to sell it like crazy.
