Wild and Wrangled

* NetGalley ARC Review *

Wild and Wrangled by Lyla Sage was everything! As the fourth and final book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series, it brought all the feels and then some. Camille and Dusty’s second-chance romance was so beautifully written, with their struggles and new beginnings woven into a story that felt raw, real, and deeply emotional. I couldn’t get enough of their journey—there were moments I laughed, moments I swooned, and yes, moments I cried actual tears.

The theme of found family was another highlight that completely stole my heart. The sense of connection and belonging at Rebel Blue Ranch added so much warmth to the story, making it feel like coming home. Watching Camille and Dusty rediscover themselves and their place within this supportive, loving community was just as satisfying as their romance.

The spice level was just right, balancing their fiery chemistry with the depth of their connection. This book was a perfect conclusion to a series that has captured my heart from the start. But honestly? I’m so sad to see it end! Lyla Sage, you’ve created something special here, and saying goodbye to Rebel Blue Ranch feels like parting with old friends.

Highly recommend this entire series, but prepare your heart for this one—it’s a beautiful ride.

“I didn’t come back to Blue Ridge looking for a second chance, Camille.” Dusty’s voice was low, rough, and impossibly close. “But damn if I’m not standing here, wanting one anyway.” (((Swoon)))

Blurb:

She’s the one that got away. He’s the one that never let her go. From the bestselling author of Done and Dusted and Swift and Saddled, the next book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series, a small town romance in which past lovers get a second chance to rediscover what they lost. “Wild and Wrangled is the perfect farewell to the Rebel Blue Ranch series…It’s comforting and soft, filled with hot cowboys (important), and serves as a reminder that home will always be there waiting for you when you’re ready to go back. I dare you to get to the last page without turning right back around to walk through the gates of Rebel Blue all over again. I’ll see you there.”
Jessica Joyce, USA Today bestselling author of The Ex Vows

Camille Ashwood had always loved a plan. Her latest was her best yet. She was going to get married so she could secure her daughter’s future, get her overbearing parents off her back, and finally start building her own life in small town Meadowlark, Wyoming. Easy, right?

But when her groom doesn’t show up to the wedding, Cam’s life is turned upside down–she doesn’t even have a place to live. That is, until she finds out the house she’s loved since high school is available to rent. There’s only one problem: the neighbor.

Dusty Tucker has spent nearly all of his adult life running. Running from what, though? More like who: Cam Ashwood. But ever since he returned home last year, the girl who was his first, well, everything has become a woman seemingly determined to keep him at arm’s length. And he was okay with that–at least, that’s what he kept telling himself. She was getting married, after all. But now she’s single and living next door. Dusty wants to show her that they can be friends, and that he can stay put.

Despite her best attempts to stay far away from Dusty Tucker, Cam realizes that being close to him is like slipping on her favorite jeans. Easy. Comfortable. That is until past wounds start to open and feelings–both old and new–wreak havoc. Nearly ten years after they first met, Dusty and Cam begin to wonder if their first love can also be their last. And this time, will it be forever?

XOXO, Courtney
