Wild and Wrangled is the perfect end to what I can only describe as an unforgettable series!.

I adored the characters and seeing their story develop, alongside them as individuals grow throughout.

Honestly, I adored everything about this book! A series I will be shouting about for a long time.

*Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishers for providing me with an ARC of this book in return for my honest review.*

My absolute favourite in the series. Her best work. I adored them all but this one just hits different. I loved the yearning and pining over so many years and how they found their way back to eachother after all. I really felt the depth in their relationship and their individual flaws and growth throughout. The bonus chapter at the end actually made me cry, it was so bittersweet . I’m so sad this series has come to an end but I’m so excited to see what Lyla does next!

This series has my whole heart and this book was no different - a perfect conclusion and way to leave Meadowlark. I love how Cam and Dusty's story developed and was revealed gradually to us through flashbacks and notes. Their connection in general to the Ryder family was also beautiful to see.
I adore this book and series, and think I will be revisiting it regularly.

It’s bittersweet saying goodbye to Rebel Blue Ranch, but Lyla Sage delivers a heartfelt, second-chance romance that wraps up the series with warmth, charm, and just a tiny bit of frustration (more on that later).


Cam and Dusty have history—high school sweethearts, true love, the whole deal. But somewhere along the way, it all fell apart, and now they’re barely acquaintances. When Dusty rescues Cam on what should’ve been her wedding day, they’re forced to confront their past… and realise that the spark between them never really died.

Cue emotional flashbacks, some gorgeous love letters from Dusty, and plenty of tension as they work through what went wrong. And here’s where my mild rant comes in: I was expecting a big reason for their split—some devastating betrayal or a massive misunderstanding. But when the truth was revealed? Relatable, sure. But also kind of… underwhelming? Given how much they meant to each other, I wanted something with a bit more weight.

That said, the real magic of this book (and the whole series) is the community. Rebel Blue Ranch has that perfect small-town feel, where everyone’s business is everyone’s business, but in the best way. The friendships, the deep bonds, and the unwavering support for Cam and Dusty make this story shine. And Riley—Cam’s little girl—is an absolute star in this book. She’s been a great side character throughout the series, but here? She steals every scene she’s in.

While my favourite of the series is still Gus and Teddy’s love story in book three, Wild and Wrangled is a solid, emotional finale that fans will appreciate. If you haven’t read the first three books, I highly recommend doing so—knowing the group dynamics really enhances the story.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4 stars)

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC—my opinions, as always, are my own.

“I’ll love you until we’re dust, Camille Ashwood”

SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE WILL FOREVER BE FAMOUS TO ME!!!!

I loved the past and present timelines for this story I feel like it gave this couple such a deeper connection seeing young Dusty & Cam fall in love made my heart melt !!!

Dusty has made his way onto my book boyfriend list and he’s BLONDE that never happens but this man was just everything !! Like come on he wrote letters to her about his day even when they weren’t talking this man has been down bad forever for her

“We went in two separate directions, but roads that go opposite directions come back together all the time”

I adored the crumbs of the rest of the rebel blue family (mainly my girl teddy & my man gus) throughout the story and this book was a perfect way to wrap up the series

What a way to end this series! I absolutely loved finally getting Cam and Dusty’s story, their path back to each other was long and emotional and I enjoyed every single minute of it!

I honestly just always saw Cam as one of the Ryder siblings (I know I know that’s weird because of Riley but I said what I said) so I loved seeing her finally find her happiness, although she was super stubborn at times she finally got that Happy ever after she truly deserved.

Dusty was something else, I know everyone loves a boy obsessed and some pining mixed in but Dusty takes the crown on both! He never ever gave up on his future with Cam, the same future he’d been envisioning since he was 17! I thought he was an incredible MMC and was so sensitive towards Cam and her needs!

Also those Ryder men do they just get wiser and wiser or?? Their advice to both Cam and Dusty (all of them!!) was so heartwarming, and so genuine it basically made me cry whilst I was reading it!! Amos Ryder is the father figure everyone needs, and I absolutely adore him.

Yes, I did cry through the extra epilogue, like right the way through, what an incredible way to wrap up an incredible series. Rebel Blue Ranch and Medowlark along with the characters will forever be with me!

First of all, thank you net galley for the arc i received.

Yeah idk where to begin with this…
I got the arc of this in January and was so excited to pick it up, especially after lost & lassoed, this though was not it.
I only read 25% of this and can say that there was something huge amiss with it. I was fully thinking that this would be my favourite book or at least my second fav but it felt like a completely unedited first draft 🤷🏻‍♀️
I keep trying to persuade myself into picking it up and I just cannot keep trying. The characters AND story felt so flat and I just can’t give my attention to it any longer.

Take from this what you will but unfortunately this felt like an unfortunate ending to what I would consider quite a fun series.

✨Wild and Wrangled by Lyla Sage ✨

I couldn’t wait to read this book, but to get an Arc arghhhh!!!

I don’t want to write any spoilers for this book as I want others to read it as blind as I did, and I just loved it!

If you’re a fan of the Rebel Blue Series you’ll know that Lyla Sage knows how to write a man but Dusty 🥹 *whimpers*. The romance, the ‘A’ and the letters all just melted my heart!

This book is the sweetest story of young love, personal growth, found family and finding your way back home and was the perfect ending to a stellar series! If you’re waiting for this book to drop I can wholeheartedly say that you will not be disappointed! I can’t wait to read what Lyla writes next!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the Arc!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank You @netgalley for the ARC 🫶🏻

4.5 stars
Really enjoyed this book. Second chance, childhood/first love romance. He's obsessed with her and she has her walls up. Absolutely ate this up.

Lyla Sage has done it again! What an incredible final instalment to an incredible series! I couldn’t put Wild & Wrangled down, and at the same time, I didn’t want this book to ever end.

I think this might be my favourite in the series. Cam and Dusty’s story was everything I hoped and wanted it to be, and so much more. I think this book has altered my brain chemistry, and Dusty is the most top tier book boyfriend of all time. My heart broke so many times during this read, for both Cam and Dusty. This is by far the most emotional and raw and heartbreaking book in the Rebel Blue series, but also the one that heals the most,

Lyla Sage has created a fictional world that I will come back to over and over again, because it feels like coming home. I will be thinking about these books and characters for a long, long time to come. Rebel Blue forever!

What a beautiful romance about young love rekindling even when both individuals have grown and changed. Dusty is 100% my favourite love interest of the Rebel Blue Ranch series thus far. This book broke my heart in certain parts - poor Cam, poor Dusty.

Two things which I'd love to have known more about were the repercussions with Cam's parents after her decisions have been made at the end of the novel, and then a bit more about Cam and Riley adjusting in the beginning of the novel.

Overall, I loved the One That Got Away trope, and Cam and Dusty when they were younger were so damn cute!

This was such a brilliant end to this series. I absolutely love second chance romance and this one was amazing. The mutual pining from these two had me melting. Who knew I needed a blonde, tattooed cowboy with a nose ring in my life?! I loved the dual timeline and seeing how their relationship played out over the years. So sad that this series has come to an end. I will miss Rebel Blue Ranch so much 😭😭

4.5⭐️
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for sending me an arc of this book !

Dusty the man you are !!! I absolutely loved this book and need more of all of these characters especially Riley (she’s so precious). This has become such a comfort series that I can revisit on any days where I feel down or the world feels to heavy. Cam & Dusty’s story broke me and I knew I was going to love them from the glimpses we had from the other books in this series.

"even though l've tried,I've never been able to see my life without you.”

I have never been particularly fond of stories that jump between past and present, but in this case, it was executed with such elegance. The flashbacks not only offered insights into their shared history but also enriched their love story, adding layers of innocence, depth, and understanding. I appreciated that, despite the challenges in their relationship, there was no animosity or toxicity—just a bond that remained unbroken. This is one of the qualities I truly admire in this author: the ability to weave genuine emotion, a sense of camaraderie, and characters who feel profoundly authentic into her narratives.

I absolutely need more of Riley she’s the absolute cutest and adore her relationship with every character she truly brings out the best in people.

I’m so sad to that this is the last book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series but I will read anything else Lyla Sage writes !!!!

3.5 🌟
Firstly, I love the cover, I knew from the moment I read the first chapter that I would enjoy this book the most from the series as it has my favourite trope 'Second Chance Love. I enjoyed Dusty's character. He was refreshing, caring, loving, understanding, and what Cam needed.
This was an easy cosy read, and I would recommend to readers who enjoy cowboy books and romance

This was the weakest in the series for me. Slow burn romances tend to be full of yearning but this one is just boring. So much of nothing happens where we're told that they have a connection but it's completely tell and not show.

I'm sure readers of romance who enjoy self-inserting will love Dusty but as someone who wants to read two different characters fall in love with each other, he was too perfect and Camille not nearly interesting enough to inspire his level of devotion.

So so happy to receive an ARC for this book! Loved this book! Dusty made this book for me and I will never stop thinking about it. What a way to end a series!

YOU ARE SIMPLY NOT READY 😭😍🤯

Dusty Tucker, you gentleman you. I don’t think I can gather my thoughts properly right now because this book blew me away, I loved it so much! Dusty and Cam are my favourite pairing in Meadowlark and their relationship is quite literally everything. If I could quote the lines, I would, because I tabbed SO many that made my heart literally soar - but it shall have to wait until publication day! I had such a good time reading this.

Without a shadow of a doubt, this is the best book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series, and I take back what I said about Meadowlark men - Dusty, yes sir 🫡 I was giggling, I was blushing, it doesn’t get better than that!

Thank you so much to Lyla and Penguin for sending me an ARC of Wild and Wrangled! ❤️

Let me start by saying I love this series, the found family feels like a big hug. After reading and loving lost and lassoed I had pretty high hopes for this one…
I can’t lie I didn’t enjoy it as much and Lost and Lassoed will remain my favourite in this series.
Needless to say I did enjoy wild and wrangled, it started off really strong, the premise had me hooked and I was excited to get into this second chance romance. It definitely had a lot of sweet moments and I love Riley I think she’s so cute

I think this one just fell a bit flat for me and I didn’t really feel connected to cam & dusty. The book switched between past & present and I enjoyed the past chapters because it felt like we were learning more about them compared to the present ones.
I’m glad I read the series and I would recommend for a fun time and I will continue to read anything Lyla writes in the future 🫶🏼

Thank you to Netgalley for the arc!

I don't like having to write negative reviews, but honestly, I was really underwhelmed by Wild and Wrangled. It's such a shame considering it's the last book of the series. Overall, I was just a bit bored reading it and needed more to happen.

It's unfortunate when the main characters don't stand out in their own book. I found myself more invested in Cam and Dusty's interactions with the other characters than with each other. I love a second chance romance but I felt the yearning and want was a bit lacking. I want to feel consumed by their past love and their journey getting back together, and I didn't feel that at all. A third act break-up can have it's place but here it was completely unnecessary and added nothing to the story.

I also feel like throughout the series, there were storylines/topics where the surface was only scratched and could've been delved into deeper to enrich the books.

On the positive side, I really liked the friend group interactions, and any scene with Teddy, Gus, Riley and Amos, I always enjoy.

For me, this series progressively got better, with Lost and Lassoed being my favourite, but sadly it regressed with Wild and Wrangled.
