Lyla Sage knows how to make you feel wrapped in a blanket of sunshine.

I love this series, and I get such a feeling of comfort from reading it. Cam and Dusty’s story is no different.

I immensely enjoyed the past and present aspects and seeing how they grew and developed over the years. Dusty had it bad for Cam, but it was absolutely perfect. He had the best golden retriever energy, and it was everything. The inclusion of the characters from past books was perfectly done and so fun to read.

Also, the love confession?? SO GOOD! Dusty and Cam were the perfect ending to a perfect series.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author and publisher for this ARC!

Not having read the first three books in this series yet, I wanted to see if I could get an ARC before I went back to start the series and I'm so happy I was able to snag this! Dusty and Cam are such lovable characters, and I'm excited to go back and meet all the other characters and dive into their stories. The pace of this book was perfect for me personally, though sometimes I have a hard time going back and forth in time with different POV's, I loved it here. Especially to see where the beginning of Dusty and Cam started their relationship - it was kind of nostalgic in a way. Getting to relive their grade school romance down to the issues Cam had at home with her parents, moving forward to present day to see that same toxic parent relationship as an adult, I'm sure this is relatable for tons of people out there. Not only that, but the relationship Cam has with her daughter along with the village that's portrayed in the book for their little family was heartwarming. I'm in a happy, loving marriage and I just kept thinking to myself how special it is that the author is either writing from a beautiful experience from her own life or someone she knows, and how pure a co-parenting situation like this is to read about, even if it's just fiction here.

I laughed out loud a handful of times, absolutely love the cover art for this book and overall enjoyed the timeline of Dusty and Cam and the hurdles they push through alone and together . I will say, the last handful of chapters wasn't necessarily for me as far as the topic of conflict, as I thought it didn't really flow right with everything up until then. It made complete sense given the plot, but for me it made me want to reach through the book and shake Cam for being so immature and I think I was expecting something bigger of a blowout, but ultimately I'm glad things ended the way they did. The two were never toxic for each other, just two souls meant to be together at the right but unsuspected time. Dusty and Cam's connection feels so warm through the whole story and I loved every scene with the two of them. The tension was perfect, the romance hit all the boxes and I can't wait to pick up the other books in the series!

I had the absolute pleasure of reading Wild and Wrangled by Lyla Sage early, and I adored every second of it! This book delivers a heartfelt and endearing second-chance romance between Cam and Dusty that had me completely hooked. Their chemistry crackles off the page, and the emotional depth of their journey makes every moment feel raw and real.

Lyla Sage perfectly balances swoon-worthy romance with small-town charm and just the right amount of tension. Cam and Dusty’s story is one of love, growth, and finding your way back to the person who was always meant to be yours.
Until we're dust! 💛

If you love second-chance romances with all the feels, Wild and Wrangled is an absolute must-read!

I fell in love with Cam & Dusty back in Swift and Saddled, and feel even harder for them in Lost and Lassoed. they are two strong willed, soft hearted characters who will do anything for their people.

Cam is my hero. not only did her experience with the bar exam support and encourage me, but her sheer strength in will and heart is unmatched. she has faced many varied obstacles but she hasn’t let one stop her. she’s the best person, mother, and friend, she just needs to take better care of herself and her needs. enter my baby boyyy Dusty 🥹

Dusty has been and will always take care of Can in any and every way he possibly can. whether it’s holding her close, giving her space, taking her away from it all, or giving her kid a fruit roll up she can’t reach, Dusty will do it all. the way he loves Cam is unmatched. it’s so special and unique, perfectly tailored to the way he is able to love and the way she can feel love. and Cam learns how to accept that love and give it back to him the way he deserves as well.

I am just so overwhelmingly in love with the little family Dust and Cam make with each other and their closest people. it’s like both of them have been trying their whole lives to make square pegs fit in round holes, they’re exhausted from the effort that will never get results. then when they finally fit together with each other, it’s inevitable in its ease and like the biggest bestest breath at finally being whole. Dusty and Cam are the most tender, loving soulmates who have the happiest ever after with each other and Riley and the whole Rebel Blue crew that they all deserve so freaking much.

I cannot believe the Rebel Blue series is over 😭😭😭 Rebel Blue has meant the absolute world to me these last couple years— it’s held me close, allowed me to escape, gave me peace & courage, motivated & supported me, sent me on the most romantic journeys & gave me the safest place to land. I am forever thankful to Lyla Sage for letting me visit her beautiful, magical, wonderfully perfect Rebel Blue Ranch 😭🫶

I don't even like second-chance romance books (twice the number of breakups, generally), but Lyla Sage wrote it, so of course it was good. I loved getting to see Cam and Dusty (unfortunate name) find their way back to each other, and especially Cam's growth throughout the book. Of course, all of our other beloved characters from the previous books are there egging these two on, and it's just so pleasant to see how much the entire Rebel Blue family loves each other.

(I also loved the multiple name drops to Lyla Sage's new series)

After reading about Teddy & Gus in the previous Rebel Blue Ranch book, I was so excited for Cam’s story. We got glimpses of Cam, as Gus’s other co-parent to Riley and knowing she was engaged to someone other than our MMC means we knew things were going to get messy.

Dusty and Cam are the perfect example of right person, wrong time. It was so much fun seeing their love story play out in the present time and in the past with the 15 year ago flashbacks. Dusty is the definition of a man who is obsessed with his woman. This whole book was fun, steamy & had me kicking my feet giddy.

Second chance romances are really hit or miss for me but this one was definitely a hit. Highly recommend this book, it was a fantastic end to the series.

Thank you to Random House & Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This series was one of my favorites and the last book did it such justice. I loved reading this second chance romance - both characters were flawed but so lovable. Lyla Sage has created such a special place in Meadowlark and I am so sad to see it come to an end. I love this little cast of characters so much.

All the “Dusty and Ash” left my eyes burning… yeap these two made me cry a lot!! In my opinion this is Lyla’s newest best book! I am a true fan of the Rebel Blue Ranch series and this book was just the perfect end to it. It was emotional and beautiful. Really captured the family spirit of all the characters, their deep connections, the love for each other, and their hopes for a wonderful future and keep doing life together.

I don´t belice that I finish this series. This is a confort series for me, fun and easy to read. As I progressed through the books, it got better and this one was certainly no different. I love the found family they have and I love the environment they are in. And now we focus more on our main characters and their story. They are definitely my favorite couple in the whole series. Personally, I don't really enjoy when the books take us from present to past, but I think it's done in such a great way that I was interested in both of them and it didn't get boring. I love how Dusty takes care of Cam. I don't like children in the books either, but I think in this case it brings tenderness to the story. I am definitely looking forward to reading more of the author's writings, and to continue seeing how she evolves with each book. I loved it and I highly recommend this book in particular, but also the entire series for a fun time. 4.5 stars

the most perfect second chance romance!! got butterflies during this story. what a perfect ending to such an endearing series!! surprisingly better than my expectations which were already high. this book is for the ones who have been on this journey from the beginning.. i truly think it made the read better having the rest of them under my belt! yesssssss!!

What a winning final segment in the Rebel Blue Ranch series! I hope Lyla Sage goes on to write more series (especially cowboys...) but I have a feeling this series will always have a special place in my heart.

Dusty has never stopped loving Camille: no matter the distance, time, or changes in both of their lives. Their love has been tattooed on him; both literally and figuratively. While I missed my Ryder boys the entire time and kicked my feet every time Wes was mentioned... Dusty got a hold on me. The "y" in Dusty stands for yearning. Big "I wrote you 365 letters!" energy.

Camille has the haunting aura that you usually only see in eldest daughter. The overwhelming experience of being taken care of when your whole life your independence was the only way you were worthy of existence? Inner child healing. Wondering if you've ever made any decisions for yourself or if you've only ever lived for the approval of your family? Understood in HD quality! Watching a woman with similar strangling fears be accepted, adored, and taken care of? Priceless.

The epilogue of this book literally had me sobbing the entire time. Was it partially the fact that I read 3 cowboy romance books in 7 days because I physically couldn't stop reading them? Potentially. Did playing "Wide Open Spaces" by the Chicks encourage this emotional response? Maybe... But it also truly spoke to the overwhelming affection and devotion I had to these characters and their stories. Mere lines in the epilogue broke me into full body wracking sobs of tenderness.

I have no skills to speak of Lyla but... can I come live on Rebel Blue? (•⩊•)

**4 out of 5 stars**
I loved reading this book! I am not typically a cowboy romance fan but I’ve been a fan of Lyla Sage’s Rebel Blue Ranch series since her debut "Done and Dusted". Once again I fell in love with the setting, this time a cozy cottage instead of the sprawling ranch, but I still wanted to BE there. I want to hike where the characters hike, I want to ride in that old Bronco, I want to hang out in Aggie’s workshop and at Amos’s table. I will be honest and say the best part of this book was the bonus chapter after the acknowledgments. If you’re a fan of Rebel Blue, this book is worth reading just for that!
Now on to the plot, Cam got stood up on her wedding day and her old high school flame rescues her from the unwanted spotlight. He’s never gotten over her, however she wants to keep her distance. I loved the back and forth storytelling through time giving you two romance novels in one! High School Dusty and Cam were chef’s kiss perfection. Current Dusty is such a cinnamon roll, he deserves all the best things in life. Current Cam is damaged- mostly due to overbearing parents, but Dusty does not care! Lyla Sage is such a good storyteller that, even though these two weren’t my favorite of her characters, I was still fully vested in their journey back to each other. Cam’s daughter Riley does not play as big a part in this one as she did in "Lost and Lassoed", but seeing Dusty’s growing attachment and their sweet interactions was just lovely. The found family with Gus, Wes, Emmy, Teddy, Ada, Amos, etc. just warms my heart and makes me want to reread all her books!

This book is for you if you love a second chance romance, cinnamon roll mmc, found family, small town, cowboy romance, or if you’re like me and ready to devour anything Lyla Sage writes!

Thank you to Random House Publishing and NetGalley for providing an eARC of this book!

I had seen these books all over social media and heard the hype and now I understand why. How have I never picked up this series is beyond me. Holy moly that was amazing the slow burn had me sweating. I was team Dusty all the way by the way, and when you read it you’ll see what I mean. This book had all the elements of a great love story and more. I would love to see this on the screen. I will be reading the first three books, so what are you waiting for?? are you ready to loose yourself in The Rebel Blue Ranch like I did.

I want to thank @NetGalley and @ RandomHouse for allowing me to have this amazing ARC.

Wild and Wrangled offers up a second chance love story where neither distance or time can permanently fracture a connection of souls meant to be.

Cam begins this tale as a jilted bride, but her heart isn't much wounded, rather it's tired for constantly trying to uphold the expectant future drilled into her head by her parents. Needing to breathe away from the judgement of others she finds herself face to face with her old but never forgotten love, Dusty, who gives her a day of escape before things go back to normal. And their normal is staying a respectable distance from one another. This will prove hard when Cam and her daughter move into their new home, and find out who their neighbor is...

The narrative makes no mystery that leads Cam and Dusty are meant to be together. Their history is one filled with love, and while hurt may have come along the way, it never diminished their connection. Even when distance and time parted them. Their only hurdles are themselves. It takes finding the courage to try, try again. And you will absolutely root for them to do just that. To give themselves the chance for that second chance. It's a beautiful evolution to witness. I found joy in watching their romance go from tentative flutters to soaring flight. I found joy in watching Cam let go of expectations and put her own desires first. I found joy in watching Dusty fight for the home he's long looked for-- and how that home is not a place, but a person. It's always gratifying watching a meant-to-be love story triumph.

That said, I didn't connect to the narrative in the way I hoped. I never found a good footing with its pacing, particularly in a third act that felt rushed.

Nevertheless, Lyla Sage's writing is one I'm eager to follow. To pick up past works and get ready for the new ones. I believe this is a journey that will satisfy fans of the series.

Thank you to NetGalley, Random House, and Dial Press for this advanced complimentary copy, I leave this honest review voluntarily.

The story we've all been waiting for! "Wild and Wrangled" by Lyla Sage follows Dusty and Cam as they have a second chance at love after she is left at the alter by the man her parents picked out for her. Lucky for her a hot nose ring attached to the man that used to know her better then anyone is there to help her through it. Together they will rebuild what they used to have, but it won't be easy...

A beautiful, cozy conclusion to the Rebel Blue Ranch series that revisits the relationships we love while giving insight to characters we have been desperate to know. Cam is strong and independent and Dusty doesn't save or fix her, he supports her while she fixes herself. I really loved the flashbacks of who they used to be and how it reflected who they are now. A very satisfying goodbye to the Ranch and characters we all love.

She’s the one that got away. He’s the one that never let her go.

Lyla Sage I don’t know what you put into these books, but I am absolutely addicted to the Rebel Blue Ranch and every single character.

Dusty and Cam were second chance romance perfection! Their story was sweet, soft, spicy, and had me feeling ALL the feels. Gah I just loved seeing these two high school sweethearts reconnect again. Though I never wanted this series to end, Lyla gave us the perfect conclusion in this love letter to Rebel Blue Ranch. And her her words “Nothing lasts forever. Not even goodbyes. 😉 I finished and instantly wanted to dive back in from the beginning.

What I loved:
🤠 Second Chance
🤠 Small town
🤠 Cowboy Romance
🤠 Found Family
🤠 Riley

A HUGE thank you to Dial Press and Netgalley for the advanced copy! I cannot wait to add a finished copy to my Rebel Blue Ranch collection.

This final installment from the Rebel Blue Ranch series was probably my favorite of the series. I loved how Cam and Dusty, while being apart from each other for 15 years, never truly stopped loving each other. Both characters had some growing up to do and the time apart made their relationship stronger and therefore could become “permanent” like Cam and Dusty said about themselves. Reading this makes me want to re-read the previous books, like visiting an old friend.

I loved the first three books in this series, but this one was such a disappointment. Cam is the most boring character. The only time she shows any sort of personality is when she's being immature and unreasonable. As an adult, Cam didn't act or speak any differently than she did as a 17-year-old. We're expected to believe she's a 30-something lawyer and mother? Her sounding like a child half the time made the spicy scenes especially icky. Dusty at least read like he had become an adult, but still was insanely bland. The two of them had zero chemistry whatsoever. The flashbacks to when they were teenagers should have given context, but instead were just cringy.

Also, the cute little world and fun characters that she had created in the rest of the series were practically non-existent in this one. We get a few scenes here and there with the other characters where they also show no personality. The town and ranch barely feature. I truly don't understand why this book was even added to this series.

This series continues to be a light as cotton candy fluffy delight. This time, we have Cam and Dusty's story. High school sweethearts whose romance was sidetracked by her overbearing parents and his wunderlust, they're both back in Meadowlark and ready to revive their friendship. But is there more to their story? Is a happy ending in the works? I bet fans of the series know the answer to that question. A very satisfying conclusion to the series.

What a perfect second chance romance !!! Can't stop thinking about these characters -- plus the cover is just stunning!
