Rebel Blue Ranch has truly stolen my heart! I often find myself wishing I could call it home. Lyla has done an incredible job creating characters that are not only lovable but also beautifully flawed and utterly realistic. It's so rare to come across characters you feel genuinely connected to, and Lyla has achieved that in spades. What I love most is how she brings their relationships to life—the love and bonds they share are nothing short of heartwarming.

When I first heard about the next book in the series, I had no idea how much I needed the story of Cam and Dusty. In the previous books, their roles weren't as central, but Lyla has managed to make them feel just as deserving of love and happiness as the other characters at Rebel Blue Ranch. This story adds a depth to their personalities and gives them the love story they truly deserve. It’s another testament to Lyla’s amazing storytelling ability—she brings every character, no matter how small their role, to life in a way that makes you care deeply about their journey.

I loved this book so much. This series is just perfection. Dusty and Cam had my heart from the start, and I was rooting for their second chance the entire book. I also enjoyed how we got a little peek at Emmy and Brooks happily ever after wedding, ending the series right where it began. I will forever read whatever Lyla Sage brings us!

Something I can appreciate about Lyla Sage's books is how incredibly dynamic her writing is. With each book she seems to grow in talent and storytelling, and there's no "copy-paste" aspect to her books. Each one is a unique, complete storyline with completely different characters and settings. W&W is no different - its tone is perfectly suited to the story it's telling. While there's still spice and drama, this is a story of second chances and bittersweet memories, and that's 100% what the writing conveys. In addition, this perfectly wraps up the Rebel Blue Ranch series; so often you finish a series with questions or unresolved emotions - but not RBR! Plus, the bonus epilogue made me bawl my eyes out.

I can't WAIT To see what Lyla has in store for us next! I will literally read anything this woman writes.

This was everything I wanted and more! It's so refreshing to find a read, based on a RANCH, as a horse gal. I live my life in concrete and every second I'm away from the ranch is hard. Lyla, thank you for returning me to it.

4.75/5.0

Wild and Wrangled as the final book makes this one a tad bittersweet. Such a joyful wrap for Rebel Blue and a surprising offering of closure around some existing storylines. Cam and Dusty weren’t on my radar as much as Gus and Teddy, but now I can’t imagine this series existing without them.

What we see with Dusty and Cam is a second chance at first love, and nostalgic storytelling that has been missing from the previous novels in this series. What I enjoyed most about this book is seeing how each of our main characters have to work hard to find their way back to each other as well as to the people they once were before life got in the way. The way this story is set up, you get bits of a coming-of-age story weaved into a story about adults, which helps you connect deeper to both Cam and Dusty and their story.

If you enjoy friends-to-lovers and first-love romances, you will enjoy this. If you are a retired emo kid, you will actually enjoy this story even if it takes place in a small Western town.

What perfect precious angels. Sage’s writing only gets better and better and I cannot wait to see what she does next.

This book was the perfect ending for Rebel Blue. I loved reading through their journey. The flashbacks were so perfect and nostalgic. I loved seeing how all the characters all came together at the end. This series is everything to me and I was so happy to see Dusty and Cam together.

"I'll love you until we're dust, Camille Ashwood"
"But friends don't feel the way I feel about you"

OMG!!!! SOUND THE ALARMS EVERYONE! Lyla Sage has done it once again. I'm usually not a huge fan of second-chance romances or miscommunication, but god, I gobbled this one up. Dusty and Cam are such a beautiful pairing. I understand that he kept some things secret and she kept running, but ughhhhhhh, so good. I mean, he bought a house for her!!! (Well, kind of). I loved that we got to see so much of the other characters in the series.

Gold stars for life, girl

OH MY GOD. Dusty and Cam have my favorite story in the entire Rebel Blue Ranch series, and it really feels as though the best was saved for last. I love that this story was told both in the present day and in flashbacks, because it gave so much more context to the relationship that Dusty and Cam have in the present. Riley, as always, is a delight when she makes an appearance, and I love how all of the characters from the rest of the series and the Rebel Blue world all make their appearances. This book truly felt like coming home in the best way, and I am sad to see the end of the Rebel Blue series. The only catchup I have with this book is we really don't get any inkling on Cam and her parents. There is a whole plot line of Cam was doing what her parents wanted so they didn't revoke her trust fund, then she goes rouge to be with Dusty (thank god) but we never find out what happens to her trust fund.

This was such a delight to read!!! I haven’t read too many second-chance romances but I found myself really enjoying the trope. This book had so much heart and I could really feel the love between Cam and Dusty! This was a great book to wrap up a lovely series. I’m sad that this is the last one :(

Severely disappointed in this one! I was hoping this would add up to d+d or l+l but it just doesn’t! This book was just fine. Breadcrumbs were great but I felt like the characters were rushed and it felt like a half assed attempt. This is similar to my argument with Swift and saddled. I felt that lost and lassoed should’ve been the second book in the series because of the set up however she chose to put Swift and saddled in as a placeholder which forces the reader to read an extra book before they actually get the characters that they want Unfortunately, I feel like this book just didn’t add up and it was rushed and not actually thought out

God this was so good. Dusty is the absolute dream. My only complaint is I want more. Just a little longer. A few more in between scenes that are just FUN.

I don’t even know how to start this review because I’m heartbroken I’ve finished the book. Wild and Wrangled is by far my favorite in the Rebel Blue Ranch series.
Cam and Dusty’s story is the perfect ending for this series. Their rekindling of a love that never fully burned out was written so beautifully, I actually teared up a few times. I’m not usually a fan of second chance romances. This story has changed that and given me very high expectations.
Dusty is the best mmc, The love he held onto for 15 years, just so heartbreakingly romantic. I really enjoyed Cam as well. She came off as the best mix of trying to be what her parents told her to be and trying to just be herself. That internal struggle and her need to break that generational trauma was written wonderfully.
I do wish there had been a little more of a conclusion with Cam and her parents. That situation just seemed unfinished to me.
The epilogue was also perfect for their story!
Side notes
*I’ve always appreciated how Lyla Sage wrote about Cam and Gus’s coparenting. The way she has fit their partners into their relationship with Riley is perfect!
*The bonus scene was amazing and made me cry!

Thank you so much NetGalley for the ARC!

Sweet and steamy 2nd chance romance. I really enjoyed Cam and Dusty’s story. I’ve never read this author’s work before but I will definitely read more from her in the future. I recommend this book.

I finally finished this book because I wanted to savor every little piece. I have more highlighted quotes than probably any book ever. This is a tender second chance story between two people who have deeply loved each other, but it's always been right person, wrong time until now. It has that soulmate quality, and I cried like a baby. God bless you, Lyla Sage, for that special scene you added to the end of the book. May both sides of your pillow always be cold.
Gosh, I have loved my time reading about the Rebel Blue Ranch and the tender way you tell these stories.

What a perfect ending to such a sweet series. Second chance romance is so hard to well in my opinion but Ms Sage did it. Loved the look back at where all the other couples from there’s are in their lives. Can’t wait to see what the author does next!

Lyla those notes 😭😭😭😭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!

Thank you Dial Press for the ARC!

I’m sad to see the end of this series.

I really enjoy a second chance romance and this one was a good one for me.

I didn’t really like the back and forth between time but once that was over I enjoyed the story.

I would have liked more of Riley in the story and see how Dusty adapts with a child in the house.

I’m so sad to say goodbye to Rebel Blue Ranch and these characters. This is truly one of my favorite series of all time. I have never read a series this quickly before and I have never read the entirety of a series back to back like I did with this one.

I knew this book was about Cam and Dusty so my expectations were high, but their story exceeded my expectations and is quite possibly my favorite book in the series.

I loved the jumps between the present and the past — the insight into their relationship added so much to the story. I’ve been rooting for these two since they were introduced in the series and it was so fun to see the push and pull of their dynamic from friends to lovers to strangers to friends to lovers. The growth they both did during their time apart made them getting back together that much more special. Truly incredible.

I also loved getting to see more of Riley in this book!! Seeing her get comfortable with Dusty the same way she did with Teddy was a joy.

And the epilogue!!! The PERFECT ending to Cam and Dusty’s story 🫶🏻

This was the perfect mix of angst, spice, and the family that we’ve come to know over the course of this series.

This series will always hold a special place in my heart 💖

Sage finished her Rebel Blue Ranch series with this final heartwarming and captivating book. Returning to the ranch one last time feels like coming home if one has read the entire series, once again a romance full of charm, emotional depth, and that perfect Wild West flair. This time, the reader finally gets to dive deep into Cam and Dusty’s story, which has only ever been hinted toward in the previous books. Cam—or as Dusty lovingly calls her, Ash—is a devoted mother to Riley, having always put her daughter first. I loved how the book portrayed her journey of finding happiness after many years of sacrifice. Even though she had to wait for 15 years, Cam finally gets her well-deserved happy ending with her true love. Dusty is the kind of man who stands out—steady, loyal, patient, making her feel loved and secure in ways she never expected. I also appreciated how the book explores the challenges and fears of being a step-parent, which adds the nuance and complexity that is needed for a romance book to succeed. All in all a wonderful way to end this series!
