A sweet goodbye to Rebel Blue Ranch. This was a more contained read after the explosion that is Teddy and Gus, but the more quiet, understated narrative felt more like Camille's personality, and Dusty's too (if that makes sense), so I didn't mind. And we finally got the Camille/Gus backstory! I'm ready to head over to Sweetwater Peak!

Okay, friends. A couple of months ago, I claimed that I didn’t like cowboy romances... Well, I have to quickly amend that statement. Apparently, I just hadn’t found the right cowboy romance yet. Wild & Wrangled by Lyla Sage is exactly the RIGHT kind of cowboy romance.

If there’s one thing that will absolutely always win me over, it’s a great story about second-chance love and how sometimes we find the right people at the wrong time. And that’s exactly what Wild & Wrangled delivered. I loved every second of it.

Cam and Dusty’s story was beautiful, and the flashback chapters were so heartfelt that they transported me right back to high school—in all the best ways. I loved the past perspective, as well as the present-day chapters.

I also really appreciated how this novel presented a more modern take on a “traditional” family (whatever that even means). Cam had a phenomenal, healthy co-parenting relationship with her daughter’s father, and she was fully included in his family. There was no unnecessary jealousy or unhealthy dynamics. It was refreshing, heartwarming, and life-affirming. I absolutely loved it.

As for the spice—it wasn’t overwhelming, but what we did get was SO good.

Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend the Rebel Blue Ranch series. It’s the cowboy romance series everyone should be reading.

Wild & Wrangled is the final book in the series and will be released in April 2025, but lucky for you, there are three other books you can dive into right now! Happy reading!

First off, I absolutely love this series and I am very sad that it is now at the end. That said, I had my hopes very high for this one and they weren't quite met in the same way that some of the others in this series met them. I loved Cam and Dusty and finding out more about their history. I am not always a fan of second chance romance, but here I thought it worked really well. Lyla was able to showcase the deep feelings these two had while also showing that they needed space and time to grow into people who were ready to fully commit to one another.

My reasoning that this fell short was that I just wanted a little bit more. By the time they figured things out in the present timeline, I felt like we were barreling too fast to the end. Even with that I still loved this book and highly recommend this one as well as the whole series.

Now I will be counting down the days until I can have an Amos Ryder story!

Wild and Wrangled is a heartfelt and deeply satisfying second-chance romance that feels like coming home. Camille and Dusty’s story is brimming with raw emotion, undeniable chemistry, and the kind of messy, tender love that only comes with shared history. The small-town charm and the close-knit Rebel Blue Ranch setting add a warmth that perfectly balances the emotional intensity. Dusty’s quiet yearning and Cam’s determination to rebuild make their journey feel so genuine, and their connection is electric yet comforting, like the love you never truly let go. A perfect send-off for this series, full of heart, heat, and hope.

I binged these cowboy stories the last few weeks and they are the perfect remedy for the world right now. This book was one of the best in the series, compulsively sweet and endearing.

Lyla Sage is an autobuy author for me, and she proves it time and time again with these swoon worthy cowboy romances. I’ve been waiting on the edge of my seat for Cam and Dusty’s book. Lyla Sage did not disappoint! Second chance romances are always hard to do and not that believable most of the time in my humble opinion, but Lyla was able to show how well it can be done. With flashbacks from the past, both characters being able to confess their faults in the relationship helped make it feel real to the reader. I also loved all the lil sneak peeks we are going to hopefully get in her next series! Overall a 10/10 read.

“Wild and Wrangled” by Lyla Sage is a fantastic conclusion to the Rebel Blue Ranch series. I’m not ready to bid farewell to this series just yet! Dusty and Cam have another shot at romance, and I absolutely adored their story.

If you have a weekend to spare, I highly recommend giving this book a read. You’ll miss the series dearly, trust me!

Wild and Wrangled is the fourth book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series written by Lyla Sage.

The love story between Cam and Dusty is so amazing, yet so heart breaking to read. The author does a fantastic job of giving us the full story of how they fell in love with each other, and how they fell apart from each other. And to quote Cam, they never fell out of love, just drifted apart from each other for a few years.

I struggled with Cam’s character in the other books, but after reading her POV I understand her stubbornness and hesitations. Dusty was so hot! That mouth!! I love how he never gave up on Cam and knew that they were end game. 🥵

No OM/OW drama, no third act breakup. Guaranteed HEA.

The extended epilogue with Emmy and Luke was so good!! The author does a wonderful job of wrapping up the series and letting us know where everyone is at in their lives.

A great finale to the Rebel Blue Ranch series! We finally got to find out the back story to Gus and Cam. Seeing Cam’s character come to life and evolve was such a ride! I couldn’t put this book down and finished it in once sitting and hope you are ready for this love story.

High school sweethearts!!! Lyla gives readers things they didn’t even realize were possible. Cam and Dusty are adorable and I can’t believe I got to read their story early!

Everything about this book was perfect! The best conclusion to the Rebel Blue series!

This book came to me at the exact moment I needed it. Thank you Lyla & pub for the chance to read this ARC!

Like many fans of the series I could spend forever and ever in this picturesque little town! I loved getting to finally see this couple come together with everyone cheering them on. I was surprised by all the twists and turns of their backstory too. Eagerly awaiting the next work from Lyla Sage!

Wild and Wrangled by Lyla Sage was the perfect way to end the Rebel Blue Ranch series and I consider myself very lucky to have been given the opportunity to read an ARC of this. I truly believe that Lyla Sage's writing got even better with each book in this series and it makes me a little sad to know that the series has come to an end. The character development was fantastic and I truly came to care for every single character in this series. The chemistry was there. It was overall a very enjoyable read. I binged it in a weekend! I cannot wait to read more from Lyla Sage and will definitely be recommending this book and this series to everyone I know.

A perfect finale to the series. I loved every minute, and I think that Dusty might be my favorite out of all the male leads in the series.

Absolutely SPEECHLESS. Lyla’s writing is perfection. The amount of care and love into every single one of her book is flawless, but this one, WOW. Lyla has outdone herself. This is easily my favorite one of this series.

Lyla changed LIVES with this book, holy shit. I’m not a second chance girly but this book changed my mind forever. I laughed, I cried and I laughed again. She’s a genius and this book is everything. A million stars.

I’m sitting here, speechless, with tears in my eyes and my heart in my throat. As soon as I read the author’s note in the beginning and started to cry, I knew I was in trouble.
Lyla has such a way of writing about hard topics that make them seem realistic but not overwhelming. The importance of mental health, boundaries, open communication, and friendships were interwoven throughout this entire series, and what she does in Wild and Wrangled is truly the cherry on top.
I don’t have enough space to write all the wonderful things about Cam and Dusty, about Rebel Blue, or about Lyla, but I will be talking about this series nonstop to anyone who will listen. 💜
Thanks a million to Dial Press and NetGalley for this beautiful ARC!!

After reading the teaser in Lost and Lassoed I knew that Dusty was the one for me! This book was PERFECTION! I loved the snippets from the teenage Dusty and Cam as they got older to who they are now and how their relationship developed. I loved how Dusty always had Cam at the front of his mind - It was definition of right person wrong time <3 My favorite book in the series and I am sad that our time at Rebel Blue Ranch has come to an end. I can't wait to see what Lyla comes up with next!

Thinking you don't like single-mom, second chance, born on opposite side of the tracks types of romances? Typically me too - but let me tell you this book will change your mind! I'm only upset that this is the end of Rebel Blue Ranch

Thank you to NetGalley for sending me an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

What a bittersweet ending to one of my favorite cowboy romance series, Rebel Blue Ranch! It was so good to be back with our favorite characters and finally finding out the convoluted history between Cam and Dusty.

I think the beginning of the book really shined as we were slowly eased into Cam and Dusty’s relationship dynamic and history. My one qualm was from the middle on, it felt rushed. I don’t know if it’s because I didn’t want to leave the series or if there was a change in pace, but I wish we would have had more time with the characters figuring each other out before everything became resolved.

But, like I said, that assessment could be because I knew subconsciously I didn’t want the story and therefore the series to end. If you haven’t read this series, consider it your sign to do so. Lyla Sage is definitely an auto-buy author for me and I can’t wait to see what she writes next!

I’m like not ready to write this review because when I do it’s really over 😢 this series is my whole world and it’s so bittersweet reading the end 🥺

This book was perfect as I knew it would be. The way Lyla writes, her pacing, her characters, Rebel Blue and the descriptions. I can picture it so vividly it’s like I’m there.

Also the second chance? It will always do it for me and this is a new favorite second chance romance of all time truly.

I feel like a lot of books you just want to get to the end. Like you have to know how the couple gets together and how everything is going to unfold. And not to say you don’t want to know the end in Lyla Sage’s books, but you really are just savoring every page. It’s like being back home, cozied up on your couch, enjoying every cuddle, every warm night next to a fire. And not wanting to skip past any moment. That’s how Lyla’s books make me feel. I always want to savor them.

Her characters are all so well fleshed out. Like from book 1 to this one you can see all the distinct characteristics of the characters and their quirks and what makes them unique. You also know them SO well, like Lyla writes them so well where you feel like you know them so personally.

I just love these characters like they’re my friends and rebel blue feels like home 🤍 thank you Lyla for sharing your special place with us. I’ll never forget it
