This was a beautiful way to end the Rebel Blue Ranch series. Dusty and Cam are perfect together. The second Chance vibes were immaculate, these two although they’ve been apart for so long were destined to be together.
I felt like it was a bit slow to start with but it picked up and i honestly love these two.

Is it my favourite book of the series? You bet. Cam and Dusty’s story has been lingering through out the Rebel Blue Ranch series and now it’s their time to shine. And shine they do.

Give me a second chance romance as the final book of a series and I’ll sign my life away to read it ❤️‍🩹 but this one… this is one of the best SC romances I’ve read 🥹

My hot take
❤️‍🩹 The flashbacks are giving Dawson’s Creek vibes
❤️‍🩹 That consuming first love 🧎🏼‍♀️🧎🏼‍♀️🧎🏼‍♀️
❤️‍🩹 Dusty’s loyalty and how he knows what Cam needs
❤️‍🩹 The cheering and celebrating at Riley’s soccer game
❤️‍🩹 Wes and Ada being Wes and Ada 🫂
❤️‍🩹 The bonus epilogue will stay with me. It’s one of those 🥹
❤️‍🩹 DUSTY MF TUCKER – I’m on my knees for this man
❤️‍🩹 Cam finding herself and her voice with her parents and for being a kick-ass single mom
❤️‍🩹 The Ryder’s 🫶🏻
❤️‍🩹 Terrance

This book was honestly the best book to end the series. Usually I’m not a fan of second chance romance but dusty & cam were the sweetest story with just a little bit of spice.

Dusty was genuinely the cutest sweetest man which you wouldn’t expect!

I loved the flashback memories and I loved how cam came
Into her own in this story.

Lyla will always be one of my fave cowboy romance authors. The closing chapter for the series brought me to tears.

I can't believe this is the last book in the series. I have loved every book and I can't wait to see what's next for Lyla.

Second chance isn't something I reach for unless it's part of a series like this. But, these two were made for each other and deserved their second chance. The flashback chapters were perfect and really showed their love for each other. The notes were so damn cute.

I've been intrigued by Cam from the start of this series and I really wanted to give her a hug. She carries so much and I loved that Dusty just knows what she needs. He's so damn suportive, protective and always there when needed. He's a walking green flag. Plus the blonde hair, nose ring and tattoos don't hurt. Seeing him interact with Riley was also adorable.

I adore the massive blended family and how they all love and support each other. It was so great to catch up with everyone else and see what the past couples were up to. The found family is perfection. The way Amos takes everyone into his home and gives them pep talks melts my heart.

A new addition to this cowboy series provides us with another swoonworthy heart-pounding adventure that will have you captivated from page 1.

Wild and Wrangled was such a bittersweet end to the Rebel Blue series — it truly feels like the end of an era. These books have always felt so cozy and comforting, and this final instalment was no different.

Cam and Dusty were so cute together. Their chemistry leapt off the page, and the flashbacks to their past relationship and how they met added so much depth to their story. Watching Dusty pine for Cam? Absolute perfection. His quiet longing tugged at my heart in all the best ways. And Cam — sweet, fiercely independent Cam — was a joy. She brought such emotional strength to the story while still being vulnerable and real.

The pacing throughout felt just right . And the side characters added so much heart. Seeing familiar faces again made it feel like one last reunion with characters we've come to love so much.

If I had one gripe, it’s that the third act conflict didn’t land for me. It felt a little forced and unnecessary, especially considering how well-developed their relationship already was. But it didn’t take away too much from the overall experience.

A warm, heartfelt goodbye to Rebel Blue. I’ll miss this world and these characters more than I expected.

Thanks to NetGalley & Quercus for giving me a chance to read the ARC!

Dusty and Cam are the perfect example of a successful second chance romance. He's the ultimate man, written by a female author.
She's an amazing mom and a fantastic role model for their daughter. They found each other once and then they found each other again.
I think that's so beautiful! I don't know if there's such a thing as soul mates, but if there are, Dusty and Cam would be them.
The dual timeline with flashbacks was so well done. I sometimes don't like the then-and-now technique, but it really worked here. Man, did it ever! The little bits about Cam and Dusty's past really helped me understand where they came from and where they're going.
My favorite part of the whole story was when Gus and Cam had a heart-to-heart, and Teddy did the same with Dusty.
That was just so sweet and well-written. Riley is the focus of their world, and as a parent, I totally loved that.
Their second chance at true love is a gradual process as they get to know each other better.
The longing glances, unabashed flirtations, and mutual affection for Riley make this book a magical experience for me.
The bonus chapter provides a satisfying conclusion, bringing the story full circle in a beautiful way that leaves me with fond memories of the series.

This was a sweet way to wrap up the rebel blue ranch series, and it was so bittersweet getting to say goodbye to Meadowlark and these characters.

I loved Dusty, the man that he is, and the way he was with Cam and Riley will never not make me emotional.

However, it did fall short a little on my expectations. I still liked it but it just wasn’t as punchy as I’d hoped.

The final book in this series. And I enjoyed it so much. The build up to cam and dusty’s relationship was exactly what they needed and I loved that there were flashbacks to their high school days, it really made me understand their connection so much more. I honestly didn’t feel like much happened for ages but as soon as they started to get together again I was sold! Riley once again stole the show for me. What an absolute brilliant character and so well written! I loved seeing cam’s story. Very sad this series has ended but also very excited to see what Lyla does next!!

I can’t believe it’s the end of this series, and what an ending

Touched upon several times, the build up to Cam & Dusty throughout this series sets the scene for a most wonderful reunion of lovers who spend this book rediscovering who they are to each other before realising it was them all along.

I loved this story and adored this series, with the depth of emotion, character and world building really shining throughout

i must say… i’ve never identified with a fmc so much as i did with cam. she is me, i am her… we’re the same person. out upbringing was so similar (maybe not the financial part but you get the gist of it!) and i felt like her story was the closest to my heart…
dusty on the other hand was everything a girl like cam needed. the fact that he waited for her so many years, that was still in love with her… i swear, this only happens in books! loved his relationship with riley, they built it from the ground up and it was so mesmerising to see!

the only bad thing i had to say is… gus. he needed to chill the hell up and stop putting himself in their relationship! thankfully he redeemed himself at the end.

it’s such a perfect ending to this beautiful series. i am full of hope for other books by lyla! she deserves so much recognition. you can see how much her writing improved from done and dusted to now!

When I wished for Wild & Wrangled on NetGalley, I truly didn’t think it would be granted, but it was, and I couldn’t be more grateful!

I loved this story so much - I don’t think my review can do it any justice. Wild & Wrangled is a second chance romance, full of such big feelings - I didn’t expect tears, but they fell.

We’ve met Dusty & Cam in previous books and wow, these two are the definition of right people, wrong time. When the right time arrived Dusty was exactly where he was meant to be - loyal, supportive and protective.

The relationship between Dusty & Cam is, magnetic, messy, full of tension and meant to be. Their shared history is full of passion, heartbreak and unfinished business.

Dusty is so tender and vulnerable that you can’t help but fall in love with him along the way. Cam is right to be cautious, she has adorable Riley to consider. She is fierce and the moments between her and Dusty are just so soft and beautiful.

This wasn’t just a romance about a second chance at happiness, it is both Dusty & Cam learning to trust again, facing their past fears, and hoping they can finally have the love they thought was lost.

The flashbacks with these two were perfect, we learnt about their history and how they got to where they are now. The NOTES - oh my heart with those notes!!

I’ve loved every book in this series, and while I’m so sad to say goodbye to these characters, I’m endlessly thankful Lyla brought them into our lives.

Thank you to the author and publisher for allowing me to read this ARC.

4 stars
Content warning: toxic parents and upbringing for a main character, mentioning of grief of parent's death (historical), past relationship struggles

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a digital copy to review. All thoughts are my own.

This was a quaint way to wrap the Rebel Blue Ranch series up. I enjoyed learning more about Cam and Dusty through the past and present style of presenting their story. Overall, they're both well suited to each other and despite the slow burn and hesitation surrounding their second chance romance, it's very obvious from the beginning they're still so in love with the other - especially Dusty. When the romance wasn't focusing on drama or side issues, it was a very wholesome reunion between two childhood lovers.

What I did struggle with, however, was a lot of the internal dialogue repetition. Dusty is a cinnamon roll MMC, but as the story progressed, I did feel like he became too unrealistic. Cam's story was intriguing with her struggles of being a mother after growing up without core fundamentals about love and belonging and family after the emotional neglect from her rich parents. I liked exploring her trying to navigate how to be a better mother to Riley and give her daughter what she missed out on as a child. Equally, though, the drama around her parents was unnecessary at times, and I found the way Cam handled some obstacles really unrelatable. I did like the inclusion of supporting characters in this final story, however, and the last portion where it gives the final epilogue to this series was so well done, I cried. I admit, that little portion there bumped my rating of this story up to 4 stars.

I'm glad I got to enjoy the ride from the ranch, and I look forward to what this author creates next.

I had such a fun time with this one! I haven’t read the others from the series (yet, since receiving this ARC I’ve gone out and bought the first 3 which feels like a glowing endorsement in itself) but I don’t think it mattered that much. I loved Dusty’s character! And as it’s a second chance romance, I enjoyed the inclusion of the notes and throwback chapters so we learned about how they originally got together and got back together on tandem. There was just one spanner that was thrown in near the end which I thought was a little unnecessary which dropped this down to a 4 for me - I think the story could’ve wrapped up without throwing in a really tenuous third act conflict right at the end.

Thank you to Quercus Books and NetGalley for the ARC!

What a wonderful, feel good, easy read! Absolutely loved both the main characters and their storyline, plus the spice was in point!

I genuinely can’t believe that this series is over! I loved reading about Rebel Blue Ranch and the family found in this series. What a way to end! I love Dusty and Cam so much, they are precious baby angels who must be protected at all costs! Not to mention how much I loved getting another book with sweet little Riley. To its core, this was a romance book and by that, I mean that this couple was romance personified. The yearning, the things they said, the flashbacks to them passing notes in high school! It was just pure and sweet.

Dusty, the man that you are!! This was a beautiful ending to what has been such a dreamy series. I have loved escaping to Meadowlark and Rebel Blue Ranch. Every character we have had the luck of meeting I will now hold so close to my heart, especially Dusty and Cam. Their story was every bit stunning, I loved the flashbacks and it was clear as day that no matter what happened, those two were meant to be together and they couldn't have been more perfect.

‘Wild And Wrangled’ by Lyla Sage is the fourth book of the ‘Rebel Blue Ranch’ series, and this time we are treated to the long-awaited story of Cam and Dusty - high school sweethearts separated by life’s circumstance. When he comes across her desolate in the Devil’s Boot bar in a white dress after her fiancé abandoned their wedding, the stage is set for the second-chance romance of our dreams!

Like all of the novels in the series, the story is told via dual POV narrative, and I especially liked that in this one there were also flashbacks to scenes that happened and letters that were exchanged 15 years ago. In the past, I loved Dusty’s emotional openness and enjoyed his and Cam’s tenderly blossoming romance - especially the scene where he was forced to read a sweet note to her in front of the class! In the present, I admired Cam’s fierce independence and her love for her daughter Riley and Dusty’s patience and kindness.

This book was the happily ever after that the series deserved, revelling in the joy of Cam and Dusty while also revisiting Emmy & Brooks, Wes & Ada and Gus & Teddy… the wholesomeness of the extended Ryder family (and especially the way Cam and Gus co-parent Riley so joyfully) was beautifully displayed.

This gets four stars from me and was a really fun and romantic read. I’d definitely recommended the series to anyone who loves well-developed characters, cowboys and HEAs.

I received an advance Digital Review Copy of this book from the publisher Quercus Books via NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Thanks to Net galley and Quercus for my advance reader copy of this book which is the 4th in in the Rebel Blue Ranch series

In this book, we are following the story of Cam and Dusty. I fell in love with Dusty; he's absolutely a superstar. I adore the second-chance romance aspect of this book and loved seeing how we had glimpses of their past to get a better understanding of where both Cam and Dusty are today and how their relationship has developed over time and how it changed. I loved how this book is extremely character-driven, and both Dusty and Cam have strong character development. Dusty, in particular, grows from a shy, reserved individual to a confident and assertive person, while Cam evolves from a reckless and impulsive character to a more thoughtful and considerate one.

I'm not the biggest fan of the single mom trope, but I've enjoyed myself immensely, which I think speaks to Lyla's incredible writing talent. This book had so many feelings. We know Cam from the periphery of other books, and it's about time we got her story. And what a story 😍

This book had me throw my hands up with frustration, kick my feet with cuteness and loveliness, and if I could blush, I would 😊😂
So, what can you find in this story in terms of tropes?

*single mom
*cowboy
*second chance
*friends to lovers
*childhood sweethearts

What an amazing end to the series 😍
