A beautiful ending to the Rebel Blue Ranch series. Dusty and Cam have a complicated relationship and this is such a good second chance romance where everyone finds what they deserve (after our cliff hanger ending with Cam at the end of book three). I love how everyone come from a different experience, age, and standing in life but equally finds their person. No notes.

Also loved getting to hear more about the ranch as an expanding business, and seeing our known and cherished characters again.

This is such a perfect end to this series. Cam and Dusty make second-chance romance magic together. I cried like an absolute baby when I closed the book. A forever favorite author and series! I’ll miss you Rebel Blue!

Lyla Sage does it again! Cam and Dusty had me swooning, and I am always happy to be back in the arms of Rebel Blue. This one-of-a-kind love is the perfect end to a wonderful series of connected novels that not only show how love can take you by surprise, but also how people can choose to love you as their own with no strings attached.

Yet again love anything by Lyla Sage! Wonderful end to the Rebel Blue series. I love that Cam got her happy ending, we found out what really happened between her and Gus.

This was such a sweet second chance romance, and I really liked the flashbacks woven in to explain the past relationship between Cam and Dusty. I also really loved seeing the relationships between characters of previous books continuing to grow in this one. I don't think we could've asked for a better farewell to Rebel Blue Ranch. As always, thanks to netgalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for review.

Lyla Sage did such an amazing job and I feel like every one of her stories in the Rebel Blue Ranch series really makes you feel like you're part of the Ryder family and that's so special. I don't know how Sage made me fall in love with another man from Meadowlark but Dusty definitely had me swooning, twirling my hair, giggling and kicking my feet up! I thoroughly enjoyed this story and witnessing the character development of all characters was honestly very heartwarming.

The latest (and I think last) entry in the Rebel Blue Ranch series finally focuses on Camille and Dusty. The other books have slowly been building their story but finally the focus is all on them.

The book takes place in present day - with Camille being left at the altar by her fiancé. However, there are plenty of flashbacks that give us insight into their high school romance. Camille and Dusty strike up a tentative friendship and it's slowly revealed what went wrong so many years ago. I liked that we got alternating chapters with both of their perspectives and the romance was very sweet.

However, I felt like Dusty was a little too perfect. Minor spoilers but he was in love with Cam from the beginning and seemingly willing to wait forever to be with her again. At a certain point there wasn't really anything keeping them apart except Cam. I know she had her own insecurities and issues with her family but it felt like that went on just a little too long. I like tension but it didn't feel genuine.

Overall though their romance was cute and I would definitely recommend to existing readers of the series.

A beautiful conclusion to the Rebel Blue Ranch series. I'm sad to say goodbye to these characters. Usually not a fan of second chance romances but this one felt right and had great character development. Definitely recommend!

Wild and Wrangled was a good addition to the Done and Dusted series. I liked Dusty's portrayal as a scene kid all grown up, and I liked the unproblematic way the second chance romance played out, especially when there's a kid involved. I found the stakes to be rather low, and not enough conflict for my taste.

spent hours sobbing over this gorgeous book and haven't stopped thinking about it for a moment since. I actually feel completely and utterly ruined by this beautiful, perfect book. I sobbed through the last 15%, absolutely inconsolable, dry heaving open mouth sobs, wrecked with my love for the characters and this universe. I am devastated to say goodbye to this perfect little world but man, WHAT A WAY TO GO. the absolute perfect ending to this universe - a beautiful homage to everything rebel blue 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.

For three novels, the reader has wondered about Dusty and Cam's history. Now in Wild and Wrangled, we learn what transpired in their hearts to cause the rift in their adult life. Dusty has always worn his heart on his sleeve, and a letter "A" tattoo. His heart has never forgot his first love, and everything he's done since then has always been for her.

In this fourth and final book from the Rebel Blue Ranch series, Dusty and Cam finally acknowledge what happened all those years ago, and what its given them for now. This love story is full of angst, spice and all the meddling from past characters. I will always love the Ryder family and their ranch.

Lyla Sage does it again with Wild and Wrangled! Camille Ashwood has a plan: marry the parent-approved fiancée, climb the corporate law ladder, and provide for her daughter. When her perfect fiancée leaves her at the alter, Camille's plans are left in the dust. Back in her hometown, Camille takes comfort in the Ryders-- her friends and daughter's second family who've always been by her side. But when the dust settles, Camille has to face the ghosts of her past, namely Dusty Tucker. Dusty, her high school sweetheart, the one that got away, and now the one who's come back to stay. They have a history, but is it enough to leave the past in the past, or does the past still haunt the present?

Wild and Wrangled is the conclusion Done and Dusted fans have been waiting for. Meadowlark is still the same charming escape its ever been. Camille and Dusty's story is filled with tension and heart that make it a great final installment to the Done and Dusted series. Fans will not be disappointed even if this is the end of the series. The only complaint: that its over!

There is something to say when you read a series of books that you thought, “I would never like these.” I picked up Done and Dusted in the beginning of 2024 from my local library, and it quickly became my favorite romance novel. Later on, I found out it was Lyla Sage’s first published book, and there was going to be a series of novels from different characters’ points of view. I quickly bought Done and Dusted and Swift and Saddled, met Lyla in Salt Lake City (driving there from Phoenix with a friend), having my co-workers hear constant praise and excitement for Lost and Lassoed, and then hearing Wild and Wrangled was going to be the last book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series… it was a lot. So here is my review of the last book.

The setting is open and small-town just like the real Wyoming I know. The characters from all these books feel real and fleshed out. They all have obstacles in their lives but don’t let them become problems.

In Wild and Wrangled, we find that Camille yearns for an open-minded family and wants Riley (Cam and Gus’s daughter) to feel loved more than she ever did with her parents. Camille fights her inner thoughts and emotions about not being the “perfect” mother and how her life has made her the way she is. You can feel the love the Ryder family has for Camille.

I haven’t felt a more kicking-my-feet-from-the-cuteness of a relationship in any book before.

I am not going to lie, I was not terribly excited to hear about Dusty Tucker (still a superior name for a male character) and Camille Ashwood. I just really did not connect to their characters in the previous books, but behold my surprise when I started to fall in love with their relationship.

My favorite part of the book is the flashbacks we get from their time meeting and falling in love in high school. The escape and freedom Camille feels with Dusty is very much realized with Sage’s way of writing through realistic dialogue and situations. And Anne. Sneaky, sneaky Anne!

I am not a huge fan of second-chance romance, but this story had me second-guessing that opinion. The relationship Cam and Dusty have seems believable and one I am rooting for. The forced proximity situation that happens made me laugh and enjoy the book even more.

It seems overall this book was the perfect ending to a place I fell in love with almost a year ago. I want to say to Lyla Sage, thank you for giving the western romance genre a breath of fresh, open sky air. I can’t wait to read what’s next!

This is a really great romance and series! Even if you haven’t read the whole series, I think if you love the romance genre, you’ll love this. Fun, sexy, with lots of heart. This was great.

OMG!!!!! I love love love loved this book - i NEED more Rebel blue books!! Lyla sage is now an autobuy author

It is here…The final book of the Rebel Blue Ranch series. What a way to end it all. Finally we have Cam and the guy we have watched pine over her in the previous book, Dusty. This is a second chance romance that will leave you feeling happy and also annoyed at times. Here we have a woman who is from a well off background and a guy who is from a regular blue collar background. They are friends and turn into lovers.
During the book we see their story as we go between current time and the past making our way throughout their history leading back up to present time. I will say sometimes when books do this it really messes with me and this one did to. It read a little slower for me but despite that I still throughly enjoyed my time and the story. We still see all of the characters from the previous stories and it felt so good in the end having all the closure and not having anyone really left behind. Now as i sit here I keep wondering what Lyla Sage is going to bring us next. For her first series she really started her career with a bang and I am sure whatever she does next will also be a hit!

ARC REVIEW

This was such a wonderful conclusion to the Rebel Blue Ranch series. I’ve been looking forward to Dusty and Cam’s story since book 2 so naturally I was SO hype to dive into this! Overall, this book passed the vibe check. There were a few times where I felt like some of the storyline felt a bit rushed and the almost-third act breakup plotline barely made sense, HOWEVER, without spoiling too much, one of the characters had some common sense so that feeling disapated very quickly.

What really got me was the VERY ending. Like after the epilogue. I cried. Ok that’s all.

Thank you to Netgalley and Dial Press for the early e-arc! ❤️

What a sweet ending to an amazing series.

Books 1-3 were all instant loves for me so I had a lot of expectations for Book 4. I loved the then and now flow of this story - seeing Dusty and Cam back in High School was my favorite part of the story, to be honest. I loved watching their relationship unfold at such a young age - and the way Dusty clung to Cam and never once looked back (for better or worse, lol). <3 The tone of this book felt a lot different than the other three, you could feel how bittersweet it was for Lyla to be ending the series with these two.

I cannot wait to see what Lyla comes out with next - I am so looking forward to her next series! <3

Thank you to Net Galley and Dial Press for the ARC.

3.5 stars rounded up. Wild and Wrangled is the fourth and final installment in the Rebel Blue Ranch series, and I really enjoyed this one. I'm not the biggest fan of second chance romance, but as of late I've been slowly changing my mind, and Wild and Wrangled has certainly helped!

Tropes:
- Second chance romance
- Single mom FMC
- Cinnamon roll MMC
- Forced proximity
- Past secrets/wounds

This book follows single mom Camille (Cam) and Dusty were each other's firsts, but they've long since been separated. Dusty has spent the time running from Cam, and Cam thought she had everything planned out in life until her fiancé left her at the altar. Now, without resources to fall back on, she has to find a new place to live. The only problem? It's right next door to Dusty. And now that Dusty knows Cam is single, he can't help but be hopeful, but Cam is determined to avoid him. Dusty tries to show Cam that the two of them can be friends, and despite her attempts to distance herself, Cam can't help but notice old feelings (and hurts) bubbling back up to the surface.

I LOVED watching Cam get her Happily Ever After, and Dusty was the sweetest, soft boy MMC that Cam needed. It was so bittersweet to say goodbye to these books. I love this town and these characters so much! But I have to say, Lyla Sage did tie up all the storylines in a very satisfying way.

I really recommend Wild and Wrangled. Not my favorite of the series, but an entertaining, heartwarming, and satisfying story in its own right.

Thank you to NetGalley, Random House, and Lyla Sage for providing an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own!
