Ok so seeing as this was the last book in a series I’ve loved so much, I knew I was going to be highly emotional. But the way I cried like 17 times 😂 The tears started on the dedication page and just kept coming. Cam and Dusty (and Rebel Blue), you have my whole entire heart.

WILD AND WRANGLED is Cam and Dusty’s story and I was so ready for it. Cam and Dusty (Custy? Dam?) met in high school and quickly became best friends. Their friendship blossomed into the sweetest romantic relationship and I loved how Lyla gave us flashbacks of how that unfolded. But as teenagers, these two struggled with wanting different things out of life and eventually their relationship ended.

15 years later, their paths cross again when Dusty moves back to Meadowlark. Cam is now an established lawyer, mom to the best little girl ever, and a would-be-bride who has just be jilted at the alter. And while they haven’t really spoken in the last 15 years, it’s Dusty who Cam seeks out when her wedding ends in disaster.

Second chance romance isn’t usually my cup of tea, but I am so hooked on this series and felt so invested in Cam’s happiness. And Lyla knocked this trope out of the park because oh my god, y’all. These two were absolutely perfect for one another and I couldn’t get enough. Dusty was so steadfast in his feelings and loved Cam so loudly and proudly. This man didn’t waver once throughout the entire book and treated Cam like she hung the moon and stars. Which is fitting because I’m pretty sure Cam actually did hang the moon and stars.

Am I tearing up writing this review? 1000%. I loved everything about this book and felt it was the perfect ending to a series that has such a hold on my heart. I can’t wait to have all 4 books in my hand and re-read them together 🥹

Thank you so much to The Dial Press and NetGalley for the ARC!

What is up with my most anticipated reads disappointing me lately? I was so excited to read Dusty and Cam’s story but this book was a hot mess that felt like it was massively rushed to meet a deadline and finish the series. There was SO much potential but the chemistry was off and it felt like there were no real obstacles in the couple’s way. Their motivations were skin deep at best and the whole structure just fell apart. I would like a do-over please!

I absolutely devoured this book. Lyla Sage gets better and better with each one. The cover is so perfect - and the story is so sweet and really was a long time coming. While I did like Lost & Lassoed simply because I related to Teddy more, it's honestly such a pleasure to jump into this world that Lyla has created. It's comforting, sweet, romantic, and best of all, super steamy.

Second chance girlies RISE!!! DUSTY THE MAN THAT YOU ARE!!!!! IN A WORLD OF BOYS HES A GENTLEMEN!! I have so much love for meadowlark, the ryders and now Dusty and cam!!! Can’t believe this is goodbye but I’ll love you forever!

AHHHHH I LOVED IT!
Dusty may be my favorite of all 4 books. This ARC came at a perfect time because I could not get enough of this series. The yearning and the angst, uhhhhh 😩 sooo good! This book gave me all the feels, I did have two moments of wanting to punch Cam, but pretty wonderful regardless of that. I enjoyed the back and forth from their young love to the moments of angst as adults. Dusty was the boyfriend we all deserved in high school, no man would ever measure up. The love and family (found and blood) were beautiful. The only hitch was a Cam's SUPER overreaction at the end, but still a beautiful read overall.

I was so excited to be able to read this one, and Lyla Sage did NOT disappoint! This is probably the best one of the series so far. The characters were just much more interesting than the ones we've seen before. The added element of them having a history made it so much more fun.

I have enjoyed Lyla Sage’s two latest novels, Swift and Saddled and Lost and Lassoed, and based on her excitement over Cam and Dusty, I was anticipating Wild and Wrangled to be the best out of the bunch.

While I still enjoyed this novel, I found that this is possibly the weakest book of the series - and the reason why is because of the third act, the characterization of Cam and the relationship between the two main characters.

I found the third act to be highly underwhelming and rushed, which is unfortunate because up until then I thought that it was quite good.

With the characterization of Cam, I thought she was quite one-dimensional, and I believe this is a result of how the author executes the characters, instead relying on telling instead of showing. It’s not a bad thing, some aspects just call for “tell” but I think it’s important to understand because this is a second chance romance.

Even though I love the trope - second chance romance books are hard to pull off, and I don’t think the author executed well. I just found myself not being entertained or caring about Cam and Dusty’s relationship. They were adorable but I wasn’t actively rooting for them.

I appreciate and love Lyla Sage’s novels. They are low stakes, the romances are -for the most part - well executed, lovable characters, easy to read and not angsty in a way that has my heart aching. Nonetheless, I found Wild and Wrangled to be a good romance overall, but I was underwhelmed by the third act. It kind of made me love Lost and Lassoed even more.

Lyla Sage creates a world that I never knew I'd be interested in but I am thoroughly addicted. Her world is full of modern-day cowboys and ranchers who deal with modern problems with sensitivity and care, and the feisty women who love them.

The best in the series! The relationship was absolutely perfection And the pact was solid not rushing or slowing

LOST AND LASSOED was one of my favorite reads this year, so needless to say, I devoured WILD AND WRANGLED when it hit my shelf. Lyla Sage absolutely never misses and I loved this second chance story so much. I can't believe we have to say goodbye to the Rebel Blue Ranch series, but I can't wait to see what Sage does next.

Not my favorite in the series, but this one was a great finale to the series. These reads are always a guaranteed good time, and this one was no exception!

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!

Lyla Sage can do nothing wrong. I loved this book, just as I have loved every other book in this series. Cam and Dusty's relationship is fantastic and I love the incorporation of co-parenting and also how important it is to find your person and the things in life that bring you joy. These books are like a warm hug to my heart and I WILL be rereading them constantly.

*Wild and Wrangled* by Lyla Sage is a fun and steamy addition to the *Rebel Blue Ranch* series, blending romance, humor, and cowboy charm. The story follows a strong-willed heroine who finds herself caught up in the chaos and allure of life on a ranch, particularly when she meets a rugged, brooding cowboy who challenges everything she thought she knew about love. Sage’s writing captures the tension and chemistry between the characters effortlessly, while also adding a touch of heart and personal growth. While it may follow familiar romantic tropes, *Wild and Wrangled* stands out for its playful energy, engaging banter, and sizzling romance. Perfect for readers looking for a quick, passionate read with a dash of western flair.

Totally amazing and heart-wrenching finale to the Rebel Blue Series.
It was an honour watching Cam and Dusty fall for each other for the millionth time. Two people couldn’t be more destined for each other.

I absolutely loved the wedding in the bonus chapters. It was soo cute!!!

Will definitely read anything Lyla Sage writes.

Great end to a wonderful series. Had been waiting or this story. It was a long road for these two characters to get together. They weathered some up and downs, a kid (from another man) and misunderstandings to fall in love again. First love to endless love.

I found this pretty decent and enjoyable until the 40% percent mark when things started to feel choppy, and I was waiting for this book to end. The chemistry between these 2 was non-existent, and for a second chance romance to work, the characters need to yearn for each other; the yearning was not believable at all...how am I supposed to believe that they were in love with each other for 15 years if Cam was ready to throw everything away AGAIN for a house. Loved the first three books, but this was a miss. I'm sorry.

I LOVE Lyla Sage’s book and have read every one early and they are all amazing including this one. I’ve been waiting for Cam’s story for awhile and it did not disappoint! It was sweet and spicy and just filled with all the cowboy romance vibes I love. And the epilogue oh man such feels. Can’t wait to add this to our library and I recommend this series to anyone asking for cowboy romance recs!

I never want this series to end! I want to stay on Rebel Blue Ranch forever! Lyla Sage’s books will definitely put you in your cowboy era!

I honestly put off reading this ARC because I didn't want my time at Rebel Blue Ranch to end! This series has been my absolute favorite of 2024 and it was so bittersweet to get to this last story. I'm still very deep in my feels - especially that epilogue - so I'll be back with a longer review after some processing.
