Wow! Lyla Sage ends this series with a bang. This is the best series I have read in several years. I hope she starts a new series because I can’t get enough of her storytelling and character development. I will miss the Rebel Blue Ranch. I felt like the characters were friends of mine. Fantastic cowboy romance series!

It was a delight, as always, to spend time at Rebel Blue Ranch with characters very near and very dear to my heart. Saying goodbye to this wonderful series is bittersweet, but I couldn't be happier to have read Camille & Dusty's love story at last. Lyla Sage brought everything we love about Rebel Blue to this novel and I can't wait to read whatever she writes next!

Such a fitting ending to the Rebel Blue series! Cam and Dusty are just so *real* and it’s a perfect story for anyone who loves a good second chance romance,

While this may have been my least favorite of the four books, it still ties everything together nicely. Meadowlark is a beautifully cozy and welcoming world, and I’m so glad that Lyla Sage has shared it with us.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with a free eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I have fallen in love with Lyla Sage’s writing over and over again - along with the world she created in the Rebel Blue series - with each book she publishes. Wild and Wrangled was no different.

In this book, we see second chance romance at its best - with two people who never stopped caring for one another and who finally have their timing right.

This book made me the most emotional - it was so touching to see how deeply this found family cares for one another, how well they see each other, and to see how deep Dusty and Cams love for each other was.

Lyla gave us pining, love letters, friendship, community, and a tear-jerker epilogue that ended this series in a perfect way 💕

Thank you NetGalley for the arc!
I loved the emotion of each character in this book. It felt so raw and real. The flashbacks made the characters feel more real and their love for each other believable. The themes of family and found family were strong in this one, and I loved it. I will also always read a book where the love interests write notes to each other and I will fall for it every time. A beautiful end to a beautiful series!!!

LYLA SAGE THE WOMAN THAT YOU ARE! You truly deserve an award for the characters you’ve developed! I truly think of Rebel Blue Ranch as a second home - I’m so deeply comforted by the characters, that they feel like family! And don’t get me started on Mr. Amos Ryder! It’s truly a gift to be able to transport readers into such a place. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Camille Ashwood is a planner and getting left at the altar wasn’t a part of the plan. Surprisingly, she’s handling it really well. Her high school sweetheart, Dusty, is back in Meadowlark after traveling the world for nearly ten years. Newly single Camille finds the perfect home to rent for her and her daughter except her backyard neighbor is Dusty…

WOW! This is my new favorite from the Rebel Blue Ranch series. I didn’t think I would say that! Second-chance romance. Dare I say the hottest of the Rebel Blue Ranch men?? These specific characters have so much depth and history. I loved that it goes back to high school a bit. I loved these characters sooooo much and Dusty is such a simp. Lyla Sage has never disappointed me. Starting Wild & Wrangled was like going back home to Rebel Blue Ranch 🥲 I will miss this little world but I’m so excited for Lyla’s next series. Lyla Sage gets better every single time!! I have no negatives!

I included a playlist of songs that reminded me of Cam & Dusty and their history.

This is one of those books that I liked, but it didn’t love. It was just okay. There was enough in there to keep me reading, but I didn’t connect with the characters and didn’t care about their relationship as much as I would have liked.

If you’re into the following themes/tropes/plot points, this might be for you:
- Second chance romance
- Small town
- Single mum
- It’s always been you
- Found family
- Secret tattoos
- Forced proximity
- Dual POV

Cam and Dusty’s love story was sweet and angsty. And I loved how Dusty and Riley (Cam’s daughter) grew closer, too.

Thanks to @netgalley for the ARC!

✯ Thank you so much to Random House for the e-ARC of one of my most 𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 reads of the year!! Ever since I first picked up Done and Dusted, I totally 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 with ʀᴇʙᴇʟ ʙʟᴜᴇ, so to get early access to Cam and Dusty’s story to wrap up our time in Meadowlark was just so special 🫶🏼

✯ 𝒲𝒾𝓁𝒹 & 𝒲𝓇𝒶𝓃𝑔𝓁ℯ𝒹 truly is Lyla’s love letter to ʀᴇʙᴇʟ ʙʟᴜᴇ, you can just 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 her love for the series and the characters permeate through the pages and honestly? It made me pretty emotional for the whole book, many tears were shed for Cam and the pressures she put on herself, for Dusty and his pining for the girl he lost all those years ago and just the for rest of ʀᴇʙᴇʟ ʙʟᴜᴇ for getting the lives and love they deserve 🥹

✯ This was definitely the most gorgeous goodbye to Meadowlark because as we explored Cam and Dusty’s second chance, we also saw so many snippets of the other couples, Teddy and Gus co-parenting, Wes and Ada being there for Cam and the bonus chapter of Emmy and Luke’s wedding had me 𝘂𝗴𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 for one last time 🥲

✯ I won’t say much more because 𝒲𝒾𝓁𝒹 & 𝒲𝓇𝒶𝓃𝑔𝓁ℯ𝒹 isn’t out until the 15th of April and I would hate to spoil anything by gushing about how amazing this book was but trust me, this was an ♾️★ read for me, and one I’ll be thinking about for a veryyyyy long time 🥰

Really enjoyed this one, my second favorite one from the series. Loved Dusty and Cam, they made so much sense together and was so happy to see them get back in each other’s lives. They are so sweet, their arc was perfect.

It's an enjoyable book and a good wrap up to a series that I admittedly really only read one of the other books of but I still feel that way so it must be true. I think because I'd only read the third one I didn't really get the build up for this couple (I still don't think Cam is all that great and would have loved to see her step more into her own power especially where her parents were concerned??) but I liked it a lot.

What a lovely ending to the Rebel Blue Ranch series! I love a good angsty second chance romance, and Lyla Sage certainly delivered! I've been so excited for Cam & Dusty's story and can happily say i loved them!

From the moment we met Cam's character in the earlier books, I was excited to get her backstory. Cam's complexity as a character is something that truly makes her stand out in this book. She is caring & loving, but also headstrong & stubborn, she can prickly at times but that made her moments of vulnerability all the more special. She is a wonderful depiction of a woman who wants to live a life for herself, but also struggles knowing exactly what that means. Her backstory & relationship with her parents broke my heart!! I loved her & I loved getting to see her growth and healing throughout this one.

Dusty! The man that you are!!! Talk about a gentle, loving, emotionally available, sweet man! Dusty's free-spirited, caring, and overall kind nature is so admirable & makes him easy to love. I loved getting to see his growth. He knows what he wants & he's going to give his all to get it!!! I loved him soso much!!!

Dusty & Cam's story is filled with love, longing, angst, and tension. A true representation of "right person, wrong time", and I loved getting to see them find their way back to each other. Their growth as individuals & as a couple is so special! The prioritization of communication & laying it all out on the line was so great. I adored their dynamic, their chemistry, and getting to see them love each other after SO MUCH TIME made my heart HURT!!!! also.. THE LETTERS??? I cried! SOBBED!!!

The ending of this book was truly beautiful and made me cry ugly tears. Rebel Blue has been such a lovely place to be & i absolutely adored this final installment. I love this family so much!!!!

Lyla Sage did it again! I have loved this series from start to finish and I am so sad it is over. I fell in love with all the characters throughout the whole series and this last book was perfection! I can’t wait to see what else is to come from Lyla Sage!

Cam & dusty felt like coming home; the entirety of the rebel blue ranch series feels like home to me.

Cam is a runaway bride and the only person in town able to get through to her is none only than her high school friend and sweetheart Dusty. After trying to figure out her life after an arranged marriage, Cam leans on her second family at Rebel Blue Ranch to help put the pieces of her life back together. Turns out Cam and Dusty are going to be around each other a lot more often than Cam planned once she settles in to her living arrangement. I loved the dual pov and dual timeline and Cam's daughter in this book. The way dusty showed up for Cam is everything and you can feel that Cam found her sense of belonging and self worth throughout the story. Getting to see all the characters and relationships from the past 3 books in the series made my heart absolutely overflow!! This was the perfect way to end this series. Cam and dusty are right up there with luke and emmy for fave characters in this series.

I hope you pick this one up when it comes out in april this year; and if you haven’t yet I hope you start the rebel blue ranch series if you feel like you want a part of home with you. thank you @authorlylasage for creating this masterpiece

Dusty has my heart!! Lyla has been setting us up for this epic love story and learning about Dusty and Cam’s past made my heart grow 5x bigger. This second chance romance hits you in the feels and we love a golden retriever who gives space. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I had a small trickle continuously coming out of my eyes 75% of this book. Loved it!

I think I would read a paper bag if Lyla wrote in it. As always, it was so funny and had me obsessed from start to finish. Dusty, WHEN I GET TO YOU!!!

Thank you Netgalley for this e-ARC in exchange for my review.

I found out about this series relatively recently and was happy to get to read its' conclusion. From a readers stand point there is build up throughout the novel of the tension between the FMC and her parents which will led itself to the growth of said character. That plot it abandoned for for a different and in a way pointless confrontation with the MMC.

That being passed over, I have to say this was a good end to the Rebel Blue series just not a good ending to the book.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for giving me an early copy of the final Rebel Blue Ranch novel, Wild & Wrangled. I had such high hopes for this book, and Lyla Sage delivered. I love spending time here in this little Wyoming town with this endearing blended family. I am such a sucker for second chance romance, so I've been patiently waiting for Dusty & Cam's story for quite some time! This might be my favorite out of the four, if not second to Ada and Wes. I thought the conflict was so beautifully laid out, even though Dusty & Cam's chemistry was absolutely there. I loved getting more Riley in this one, and I think the advantage of this story closing everything out made the town feel more realized and everything came full circle. There were some delightful tropes that I was not expecting, some of which are my favorites- the main love interest standing up to the main character's terrible family! Forced proximity because they live on the same property! This remind me SO much of Hart of Dixie and Zoey and Wade's story, which made me love this book even more. If that is a ship that you love, you must pick up this book! Overall, I really enjoyed my time, and once again Lyla Sage's love for the genre shines through. I am really looking forward to her moving us up north to Sweetwater Peak for the next series, I can't wait to read her romance with a gothic twist.

I’m too sad that this is the last Rebel Blue book, and I normally would’ve saved it for closer to release…but it was burning a hole in my Kindle so, here we are.

We all have a new book boyfriend and his name is [redacted] “Dusty” Tucker. Just TRUST ME, we’re going to be fighting over him.

We already know Cam, and I’ve been so curious about her from the start. I just love that she’s such a part of the family that she got her own book. I don’t think I’ve ever read a single mom of the same kid that I already read about the dad of. Authors, take note! They don’t always have to be villainous! This series was so well done in that regard (and like…all the regards LOL).

Cam & Dusty have a history, and the flashbacks to that time were done perfectly, giving us just enough insight into their past to be able to understand where they are now. And even though some people don’t believe in fate, I don’t think there’s anything else that Cam and Dusty could be. It seems they’ve been meant for each other all along. But Riley was meant for them too.

This book is the embodiment of the phrase “sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together”…because young Cam & Dusty were good, but Cam & Dusty + Riley years later are better.

“I love you madly and deeply. I love you in ways that people don’t believe exists in real life. I love you for who you’ve been and who you are and who you’re going to be.”

Lyla Sage has written a masterclass in second chance romance with Wild and Wrangled. It’s a beautiful bookend to the Rebel Blue Ranch series, and Cam and Dusty’s story is a tender reminder that hope prevails.
