This book was very cute and felt like a very nostalgic kind of love 🫶🏼 I honestly think I preferred the past tense chapters more than the present tense chapters!

This concluded the rebel blue ranch series really well. It was emotional, romantic, funny & spicy. Everything you’d want in a cowboy romance.

I think Lyla Sage’s writing gets better and better with every book 😍

The only reason I didn’t rate this book higher is simply just because I wasn’t a big fan of the FMC… but that’s just a matter of opinion. I would still recommend this book! 🥰

I really really loved this book. Dusty was a fantastic MMC. It was a really well done second chance romance and a great conclusion to the Rebel Blue Ranch series. Lyla Sage has created such a good found family and I’m very sad that the series has come to an end, but can’t wait for what she comes out with next.

Ugh DUSTY AND CAM 🫶🏻 what an ending to this series! I was so emotional reading their second chance at love and finding their way back to each other after so long.

Dusty is such a beautiful soul whose love for Cam never wavered. His restraint when he just wanted to love Cam with everything he had was heartbreaking but beautiful at the same time.

I just know that Dusty is the SEXIEST man in Meadowlark for sure 😍 the long hair, the nose ring, the tattoos, the cropped T-shirts, and also the fact that Ada and Emmy both commented on how attractive he is 🤣

I loved seeing Cam start living life for herself and Riley instead of trying to please her parents (they are the world’s worst parents for sure). So happy to see her get her HEA 🥰

A special mention to Riley for being an adorable child with no filter who doesn’t let the adults lie about their emotions 😆 and also Amos for being dad to basically everyone in Meadowlark and giving them the best advice every single time it was needed ❤️

The final book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series is a second chance romance between Cam & Dusty. If you've read the previous book, you know that Cam was left at the altar on her wedding day. This book continues immediately on from that.

I loved the chemistry between these two characters. The slow burn really worked for them, and when they finally reunited, it was done well.

I wish the storyline between Cam and her parents was a bit meatier. We met them briefly, and that was it, I feel like there was room to include them again, even if it was just Cam cutting them from her life. I feel it needed to be shown. The same goes for her wedding day. I understand that Cam didn't actually really want to be with Graham, but she didn't show any emotion at all really about being left at the altar.

Dusty was perfect - probably a bit too perfect, to be honest. He is gorgeous, funny, and kind, and I think his personality sometimes outshone Cam's. I loved the flashbacks to when they were teenagers in love, and Dusty's notes were so cute. I would have liked to learn about his travels. Did he ever fall in love with anyone else, or was it only ever, Cam?

Unfortunately, this wasn't my favourite book in this series, but I'm looking forward to seeing what Lyla Sage will write in the future.

Thanks to Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

wild and wrangled | ARC review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I refuse to believe that I’m saying goodbye to rebel blue ranch. The found family that I felt like I, personally was a part of 🏠
I have been anticipating Cam’s story since the beginning and let me tell you I was not disappointed in the least.
DUSTY THE MAN THAT YOU ARE ❤️‍🩹 this man is IN LOVE with my girl Cam. He is so down bad he would truly do anything for her. We get flashbacks from Cam’s teenage years about her and her parents messy and controlling relationship with her so it warmed my heart to see her finally get the love she deserves and how she was accepted into the Ryders big family and love her like she’s their own flesh and blood. My heart couldn’t handle the way that they all showed up for her when they knew she needed them without having to be asked. This is a book for the act of service girlies‼️
I really loved getting to see Riley again and watch her and Dusty’s friendship evolve. Dusty stepped up to be a great addition to her support system and Cam and Gus‘s co parenting team.
This book not only felt like a love story between Cam and Dusty but a love letter to us, the readers who have been following along with the story for however long. I think the series really has something for everyone and almost anyone will be able to find themselves in a character within the story 💌

“I'd never fallen out of love with Cam-not in all the time we were apart. Cam taught me what it was like to love and be loved. I took that with me around the world. I built upon it and every type of love I'd felt was compared to it, and nothing had ever come close-it was always her. It was always going to be her”

Thank you so so much to NetGalley and quercerus for giving me the chance to read an ARC copy 💙 I am so unbelievably grateful, thank you for giving me my first 5 star of the year x

IF YOU LOVE:
⭐️Single mum
⭐️Second chance
⭐️Boy obsessed
⭐️Found family
⭐️Friends to lovers
⭐️It’s always been you
THIS IS THE ONEEEEE

4.5 stars
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this entire series and was looking forward to seeing how it would conclude with Cam and Dusty’s story.
I’ve actually not read a lot of second chance romances but this one has definitely swayed me to seek them out more often.
I really liked Dusty and could understand where Cam was coming from - most of the time.
It was great to see Riley and the whole Ryder extended family/town again and Rebel Blue is definitely a location that draws me in with each and every one of these books.
I also liked the tension that has built up between them by the point they end up the in the motel.
I will say, I did start to get a bit annoyed with how many times Cam rolled her eyes. This seems like a minor grievance but it started to bother me with how it was mentioned in so many of her chapters, again and again.
And the third act breakup - of sorts - was not my favourite either. Was it just me or did Cam totally overreact?
But, overall, this was a well paced and easy to read story.
I also loved the epilogue with Emmy and Brooks’ wedding. It really wrapped everything up nicely and was the perfect ending to the series.
Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Rebel Blue Ranch series, as it features relatable characters and a peaceful small-town setting. "Wild and Wrangled" is by far my favorite book in the series, closely followed by "Lost and Lassoed."

I was particularly intrigued by the hints regarding Cam and Dusty's relationship in the previous books. I could fully empathize with the struggles and obstacles faced by the high school star-crossed lovers as they mature and grow up.

This book addresses important subjects such as pregnancy trauma, emotional abuse, child co-parenting and female independence. If you're looking for a heartwarming small-town romance, I highly recommend giving this book a try!

Thank you, Lyla Sage and Quercus Books, for the opportunity to read this ARC through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Returning to Rebel Blue was everything I wanted it to be and more. I absolutely LOVED this book.
The back story between Cam and Dusty kept me intrigued whilst rooting for them to reconcile in current day.
I read this in one sitting as couldn’t stop turning the pages. The story cleverly evolved including all the other main characters from the previous books and it felt like coming home seeing them all again.
The Ryder family is one I wish I was a part of and I can be as I read these books over and over again.
An absolute winner.

Another great read from Lyla Sage, they are really racking up in this series. This is a lovely romance with old angst and passion buried away ready to burst forth. Old bruises are explored in flashbacks and this shapes the world that Ash and Cam live in as they work out what they want to do with their lives. The hard family relationships, notably for Cam, play their part and influence how she behaves and feels about herself. Luckily there is cute Riley to bring them all down to earth. Well worth a read.

DUSTY TUCKER, THE COWBOY THAT YOU ARE!!!

OMG!! Lyla really did save the best for last with this one cause oh my this was everything.

From the moment Dusty met Cam, he was down bad for her and the fact it never went away had me swooning. He played the long game and it won in his favour. It was so great to see Cam grow into herself and find her own happiness, especially with the help of her found little family. Watching Dusty with Riley was too cute as well. I just love this little small town and everyone in it.

It was good to be back in this world, I'm so sad this was the last book but that bonus eiplouge tied everything up perfectly.

wow. just wow this book completely ruined me. this is such a beautiful perfect book. I feel this was the perfect way to end the rebel blue ranch series.

this universe , home and hope Lyla sage has created she masterful in what does bringing everything in this book, in this series full circle.

LOVE LOVE LOVE

Best one yet, perfect way to wrap up our time at Rebel Blue Ranch. Second chance romance and friends to lovers will always be my favourite and the duel timeline made it even better. I loved dusty and cams story and the bonus epilogue was everything I wanted it to be.

The perfect end to a fantastic series.

From the opening Authors Note, I knew that this was going to be a good one and this book did not disappoint.

Dusty and Cam are clearly meant to be together and I really enjoyed both having their own chapters and the flashbacks to an earlier time in the lives.

Despite this being Cam and Dusty’s story to tell the whole Rebel Blue family shows incredible camaraderie and it’s really wholesome to read about a family that shows their flaws but also have each other’s backs. There are so many wrap up moments throughout this book and some parts feel really special to read.

Would 100% recommend reading this book and series especially if you love small towns, cowboys and second chance romances.


Thankyou for the chance to review this book.

My favourite book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series.

Cam & Dusty forever 💕

This story was so beautiful, I loved everything about it. Lyla’s writing was so moving, and from the first page I couldn’t put it down.

Cam & Dusty’s story is one that spans 15 years and seeing the glimpses of their past as they find their future was so magical.

Of course Lyla also didn’t disappoint, the spice was 🔥 and let me just say that Dusty Tucker might be my favourite man in this series.

I’ll miss Rebel Blue, Lyla you’ve created the most gorgeous world.

Thank you to Quercus and NetGalley for the arc 🫶🏻✨

Right well… for starters, finishing this book made me feel so empty and put me in a huge slump because HOW IS THIS SERIES OVER?!? You mean I can’t go back to Rebel Blue Ranch?!? It just cannot be😩😩😩
Dusty and Cams story truly felt like an epic love! The second chance at first love element was beautiful. The secret love letters filled with so much pining, yearning and heart break damn near broke me! Dusty deserved the absolute world and all I wanted was for him to get his HEA. It felt like an emotional rollercoaster reading their journey as I was tossed between feeling so angry at Cam for putting Dusty through what she did, to then feeling like they were made for each other!
Dusty just understood Cam to her bones and no one can tell me they don’t want to be loved the way that he loved her!!!
Out of the series this book also had the slowest burn. I don’t know if that’s because of the now and then duel timeline or the tension that we were fed throughout the first three books but I was DESPERATE for them to finally give in to their desires. And when that cord snapped!!!!! Well it was HOT!! The best spice! 🔥🔥🔥
This series is a small town, found family & cowboy romance lovers dream! The way that I truly believed I was living on this ranch and that these characters were my best friends… well it was impeccable and also a rude wake up call once I’d finished.
Run to read this series if you haven’t already and get pre-ordering this book guys!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4.5/5 🌶️🌶️1.5-2/5

Tropes:
🌹Single Mum
🌹Second Chance Romance
🌹Small Town Romance

Well I didn’t think I could love a couple as much as I adored Ada and Wes but Cam and Dusty were utter perfection.

Dusty and Cam date in their late teens until competing priorities force them apart, Dusty leaves Meadowlark to travel the world and Cam soon finds herself pregnant with another man’s baby. Despite their years apart Dusty and Cam have undeniable chemistry, the tension was palpable and Dusty is now my favourite Lyla Sage MMC ( sorry not sorry, Wes).

“I don’t even know if I can start over because I don’t know if I ever actually started in the first place.”
This line was just *chefs kiss*

I loved this book so much more than I thought I would, Lyla Sage did a phenomenal job writing this and it may just be in my top 5 romance reads of 2025 and I will be comparing every book couple to Cam and Dusty.

Thank you to Quercus Books and NetGalley for the ARC.

4.5 ⭐

I really enjoyed this book and it was such a great ending to this series

I love a second chance, "it's always been you" vibes and this didn't disappoint

- small town romance / cowboy romance
- single mum
- second chance
- dual timeline
- snowed in - only one room

I love the dual timeline and seeing the start of their friendship and relationship and discovering why they broke up in the first place over the course of the flashbacks

I love Dusty's love for Cam and how he never stopped loving her and how you could feel it even when it wasn't his pov, it was just so wholesome

This series holds a special place in my heart and I love all the characters and think this will be a series I will forever want to reread

The bonus content at the end had me sobbing the whole way through - it was so good but I'm sad this series is over (tho we do get 3 novellas and I'm so excited for those)

Thank you to Quercus & NetGalley for the eARC - all opinions are my own

What a perfect ending to a brilliant series! I loved Cam and Dusty and the way we saw their relationship grow both as teenagers through the flashbacks and in the present with both of them as adults with lives of their own. Cam is left at the altar and Dusty is the one who saves her from her despair and is her getaway driver. Their relationship has been hinted at throughout the other novels in the series and getting to see their relationship up front was wonderful. One thing that sets this series apart from others is the way we get to see both Gus and Cam get their happy ever after and we see how much Riley is loved by her entire family. The bonus epilogue was also a wonderful way to say goodbye to these characters.
Thank you for the ARC , it made my week.

I wish there was some way on earth for Lyla Sage to write me my own perfect cowboy and for him to come to life.

This book was utter perfection. I’m so beyond belief happy that Cam and Dusty got their happy ending. We’ve been teased throughout the first three Rebel Blue books about them and to finally have their story in my hand was an honour.

Cam and Dusty are such beautifully written characters and this is probably the only time I will love a slow burn trope used. To see Cam overcome her fears and stand on her own two feet was so inspiring and Dusty, what a man. I wish a love like theirs was the real thing. I’d literally never let him go.

We see them come together after 15 years apart and realise the love had never left. That in the end, it overcame it all.

It was also so lovely to have the characters come back together for the final instalment in the series and see how they’re doing. I will always love Emmy and Teddy. And the ending, oh the ending was EVERYTHING.

I just loved this. I will have this book in my heart for a long, long time.

Rating - 8/10 ⭐

Firstly I want to thank @hachette for once again gifting me this e-arc! I have loved reading this series so much and I was ecstatic to see I received the final book!

I was very excited for this story due to the tension between Cam and Dusty in the previous book. Before I started this book I already loved Dusty so much and I was so excited for Cam to get her love story!

Friends to lovers is a favourite trope of mine especially when it's a highschool sweetheart 🥹🥹

I loved the before chapters of them falling in love during highschool so much! It was so nice seeing the beginning of their relationship through to the end of it, especially as well didn't have a full understanding of how it ended.

During the present chapters it was soooo good seeing Cam be treated how she deserves to be! Dusty is a gentleman and soo kind and caring. And those spicy scenes 🥵👀 I ate this up.

I flew through this book in 2 days and it was such an easy read!

My only disappointment is that this being the last book of the series I was expecting a nicer closure for the family or some sort of epilogue that showed more of the family a year later or something like that. It sort of ended quickly and with no other mention of the other characters.

But other than that this was such a lovely second chance romance story and I loved that Dusty and Cam finally got their happy ending 😍
