Thank you NetGalley for giving me an advanced reader copy of this book!❤️
I feel so happy that I got approved for this book because I absolutely ADORE this series and world that Lyla Sage has created. It’s a bittersweet feeling for Wild and Wrangled to be the last book in this series. But let’s dive into my review:
Cam and Dusty was the most perfect second chance love story. It was so fun getting flashbacks from when they were little and reading all the letters Dusty sent Cam 😭🥹 It made their story that much better. I love Cam she’s such an independent boss woman. I admired her for completely changing her life and giving her and her daughter a better life. And Disty just fit into that so perfectly. I also enjoyed so much getting Riley snippets in here as well. She is the cutest little bean😭 Overall I do think it was a good end to the series. I wish we got more of all the other characters and family towards the end of the book like maybe one big last dinner or something? Then it really would have felt like the end but maybe Lyla has a novella coming or something!

I have loved this series and Cam and Dusty’s story was a satisfying conclusion! I love how the characters have depth and issues, but it’s still romantic.

As the final installment of the Rebel Blue Ranch series, this title puts a nice ribbon on the series while also stepping outside of the Ryder family a bit more.

Wild and Wrangled is a hopeful second-chance romance with characters to really get behind. Dusty, in particular is an extremely likable and romantic male hero. Similarly, Cam -whom readers of the series will be surprised to learn is not as put together as she has seemed in past books - grows in a way that is both touching and relatable.

Lovers of Romance, the Wild West, and those of us who’ve loved the Ryders and Rebel Blue from the beginning will find this final installment deeply satisfying.

I don't want to write this review because that means I've finished this series! I love this world that Lyla has created, and watching Cam and Dusty find their way back to each other is the perfect way to close out the Rebel Blue Ranch books. It's angsty, emotional, romantic, funny, dramatic and a warm hug. I loved seeing Cam and Dusty now and then and Lyla writes them in a way that you know it's forever. I also loved seeing Wes and Ada more (I love them so much) and it was interesting to read about characters who aren't Ryders by blood, but certainly are part of the family. I GASPED when I flipped past the acknowledgments and there was another chapter. A solid closer to a great series!

This was my second favorite of the series!! The connection between Dusty and Cam is unmatched! I am so sad to see this series come to an end! 5 Stars!

Wow, what a beautiful ending for the Rebel Blue Ranch series! I can’t believe it’s over, but Dusty and Adam were pure perfection and their story was so beautiful. The found family in this series is so heartwarming and I absolutely adore all the characters!

The messy, beautiful, raw moments Dusty and Cam had were so relatable. I understood both POVs, but hands down, Dusty is the most caring man!!!! Literally the sweetest and would give you the sun and moon if he could.

Thank you so much for the ARC! One of my favorite reads this year 🩷

**Review of *Wild and Wrangled*

The final installment of the Rebel Blue Ranch series, Wild and Wrangled, delivers everything fans have been waiting for: Dusty and Cam's long-anticipated love story. After three books of wondering what truly happened between them, this beautifully told story pieces together their past and present in a way that feels both satisfying and heartfelt.

The back-and-forth narrative, moving seamlessly between Dusty and Cam's heartfelt love notes and their present-day interactions, is an incredible vehicle for storytelling. It allows readers to not only unravel the mystery of what went right and what went wrong but also to feel the depth of their connection over time. This isn’t just a story about rekindled romance—it’s a touching tale of first love, heartbreak, and the journey back to each other.

One of the most rewarding aspects of Wild and Wrangled is revisiting the characters we’ve grown to love throughout the series. Seeing how the ranch has flourished with the love stories from the prior books gives a wonderful sense of closure and community. It’s like catching up with old friends while experiencing the emotional highs and lows of Dusty and Cam’s journey.

This is a story that shines with the authenticity of love: messy, imperfect, and full of second chances. The chemistry between Dusty and Cam is electric, their struggles relatable, and their resolution nothing short of heartwarming. If you’ve been following the Rebel Blue Ranch series, this final chapter is everything you hoped it would be—and more. And for newcomers, Dusty and Cam’s story will pull you in, make you laugh, and maybe even shed a tear.

A must-read for lovers of heartfelt romance and deeply satisfying endings.

"Wild and Wrangled" from the Rebel Blue Ranch by Lyla Sage promised a heartfelt second-chance romance between Cam Ashwood and Dusty (yes, Dusty…) Tucker, but it just didn’t deliver for me. Nine chapters in, I couldn’t connect with the story or the characters. Cam and Dusty failed to draw me in, and the plot felt so bland that I had no motivation to keep reading.

I made a promise to myself this year to stop wasting time on books that don’t captivate me, and this one fell into that category. While I’m sure fans of small-town second-chance romances might enjoy this, I wasn’t the intended audience. The author’s writing style just didn’t work for me—it felt weak and unengaging. Sadly, this was a DNF for me.

Finishing a beloved series is so bittersweet and this book is no exception. I’ve been dying to get my hands on Wild & Wrangled since book two and now that it’s over, I am both joyful and crushed.

W&W is the beautiful, emotional story of Cam and Dusty. It’s a second chance love story (one of my favorite tropes) between two people who have a lot of history that they’ve kept locked away. I love both Cam and Dusty so much - I knew their story would wreck me emotionally, and it did, but in the best way possible.

Cam is one of those characters who just makes you love her and want the best for her, even if her motivations or actions make you want to scream into a pillow. But the way she fights for her daughter, to be a good mother even though she didn’t have that herself growing up, truly made my heart ache. I loved her growth and development so much.

Dusty complemented Cam so well in this book. He’s the wild, well-traveled, but deeply thoughtful and good man that any woman would dream of. I knew I would love Dusty from all the little tidbits we got of him in previous books - and I was absolutely correct. Team Dusty for life!

This story was a bit slower in pace than the other books in this series, but it felt perfect for the story being told here. I felt every emotion, every up and down, and I could not put this book down.

Not only was it a beautiful love story between Cam and Dusty, but this book was a heart-wrenching goodbye to the series. All of our favorite characters were front and center (Ada and Wes absolutely stole my heart all over again! I love them so much) and I love the way that Lyla allowed us to say goodbye to these characters.

This book had it all - an amazing story, perfect romance, sizzling spice, laugh out loud humor, and moments that had me in tears. This series will have a special place in my heart and I know it’s one I’ll revisit again and again.

I received an ARC of this book, but this is my honest review.

This was a great finale to this series and I'm so fortunate to have been given the opportunity to read it. I felt like the final "conflict" was underwhelming and didn't feel very believable. I liked the build up of the romance, though, and I loved their dynamic.

Super cute ending to the series. I didn’t love it as much as the others, Cam wasn’t as relatable to me. I think that was a me issue though and I'm sure other readers will love her. I love Dusty! He's so dreamy! I need more MMC's with nose rings and man buns. Lyla Sage did an amazing job with this series and I loved getting to see everyone’s stories wrapped up. Thank you so much NETGALLEY for the arc!

Lyla Sage is back with the final book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series! This is a second chance romance between Cam and Dusty who dated in high school. We move back and forth between the past and present day and find out why the two high school sweethearts broke up as we see them rekindle their love today. In some ways these characters are so mature but then Camille reverts back to the rash and angsty teen she was whenever her overbearing parents show up. Spoiler? but I HATED the third act break up and Cam really pissed me off. It was totally ridiculous and over the top. It could have still been a moment of growth for her and the resolution could have been the same, but the way Cam acts is super messed up. Other than that moment, loved. Thanks NetGalley for the arc.

I have read all the books in this series and just like all the others this is a very fun a quick read. I love how characters from all the other stories still pop up like they would in real families. I thought Cam and Dusty’s romance was believable and sweet.

For everyone who has been waiting for Cam to get a win, this is for you. It's hard to put into words how one book could tear my heart in two and sew it back up in tandem. Cam was running into a life she thought she wanted becuase it felt safe. Dusty was her first everything and showed her what life outside of safe could be, and he's here to do it again, while showing her how to make decisions for her not for her parents. Dusty is so swoony, he never rushes her, asks why she's not putting her self first and waited for her, wrote letter while he waited and hoped they would get the timing right, and after 15 years it might be time.

A gentleman in the streets but "I want to do distinctly ungentlemanly things to you" in the sheets!! 😅

Once upon a Time, I was not a cowboy Romance girly (I still am not generally speaking) but then there was this one called Done & Dusted that I literally could not get away from so I gave in. I liked it enough to give the next book in the seriesm Swift & Saddled a try. I was, am and always will be obsessed with it. Ever since, my feet have been firmly planted at Rebel Blue Ranch. Wild & Wrangled is Lyla Sage at her best. It is a shining love letter to not only the world she created but also the power of love, hope, and wanting a life that makes you happy. Thanks for sharing Meadowlark. I very much enjoyed my visit. (Wada forever, baby, but Dusty Tucker will do in a pinch.)

Thank you to NetGalley for approving this ARC in return for an honest review!

I love Lyla Sage. Her world-building and character development is a delight. She writes splendid cowboy romances, and I cannot wait to read more of her craft.

Since I stepped into the Rebel Blue Ranch series, I had been waiting for Dusty’s redemption with Cam. I am a sucker for second-chance romance, and their relationship’s obscurity made me want to read Dusty and Cam’s book all the more. Independent girlboss and tattooed cowboy? (Swoon) Sign me up!

But not everything is roses and butterflies. Wild and Wrangled had me in a chokehold… until the latter ten percent of the book.

I had great expectations for this novel. I wanted the yearning, the longing glances, and, of course, the tension so high that it could battle a middle-aged man's blood pressure. That is not to say Sage did not deliver, but the pacing faltered because of the limited space intended to develop a breakup in the last three chapters.

News Flash: Not every book needs a third-act conflict to be a true romance. It cheapens the roadblocks the characters have overcome together. The hero and heroine can live happily ever after without battling a great threat to the relationship.

Wild and Wrangled was swoony, steamy, and super wholesome. Could it have had a better ending? Sure. Don’t worry—the epilogue makes up for it!

Sweet read for any romance novel fans. Not usually up my alley but loved the setting and characters. Would recommend!!

Wild and Wrangled by Lyla Sage is the fourth and final book in the Rebel Blue series. This is Cam's happy ending -- finally! I loved this entire series and was very sad to have it end. Honestly, I felt a lot more could have been done with Cam's back story, especially her unexpected pregnancy. Given her difficult relationship with her parents, I kept waiting to learn more about how her parents reacted when she got pregnant...but we never really got anything there. It seems like there would have been a LOT more to work through in that situation.

But other than that, I loved Dusty and Cam's happily ever after...and I hold out hope that maybe this isn't the end for the Rebel Blue series!

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for the chance to read and review this e-galley.

Thank you netgalley and the publisher for this advanced readers copy! This book perfectly ties the Rebel Blue Ranch series up into a neat bow. I have loved this series more than I ever thought I would love a cowboy romace series! First things first, Dusty! He is one of my favorite characters in the whole series and I'm sad we did not see more of him in the other books. He is sweet, generous and tender all while being a harworking guy who doesn't mind to get his hands dirty. The banter between him and Cam had me giggling and kicking my feet the entire book. I also loved getting to know Cam outside of just being Riley's mom. If your looking for a ridiculously sweet, cute, and steamy second chance or enimes to lover romance, this is the book for you!
