Another great read from Lyla Sage, they are really racking up in this series. This is a lovely romance with old angst and passion buried away ready to burst forth. Old bruises are explored in flashbacks and this shapes the world that Ash and Cam live in as they work out what they want to do with their lives. The hard family relationships, notably for Cam, play their part and influence how she behaves and feels about herself. Luckily there is cute Riley to bring them all down to earth. Well worth a read.

DUSTY TUCKER, THE COWBOY THAT YOU ARE!!!

OMG!! Lyla really did save the best for last with this one cause oh my this was everything.

From the moment Dusty met Cam, he was down bad for her and the fact it never went away had me swooning. He played the long game and it won in his favour. It was so great to see Cam grow into herself and find her own happiness, especially with the help of her found little family. Watching Dusty with Riley was too cute as well. I just love this little small town and everyone in it.

It was good to be back in this world, I'm so sad this was the last book but that bonus eiplouge tied everything up perfectly.

wow. just wow this book completely ruined me. this is such a beautiful perfect book. I feel this was the perfect way to end the rebel blue ranch series.

this universe , home and hope Lyla sage has created she masterful in what does bringing everything in this book, in this series full circle.

LOVE LOVE LOVE

Best one yet, perfect way to wrap up our time at Rebel Blue Ranch. Second chance romance and friends to lovers will always be my favourite and the duel timeline made it even better. I loved dusty and cams story and the bonus epilogue was everything I wanted it to be.

The perfect end to a fantastic series.

From the opening Authors Note, I knew that this was going to be a good one and this book did not disappoint.

Dusty and Cam are clearly meant to be together and I really enjoyed both having their own chapters and the flashbacks to an earlier time in the lives.

Despite this being Cam and Dusty’s story to tell the whole Rebel Blue family shows incredible camaraderie and it’s really wholesome to read about a family that shows their flaws but also have each other’s backs. There are so many wrap up moments throughout this book and some parts feel really special to read.

Would 100% recommend reading this book and series especially if you love small towns, cowboys and second chance romances.


Thankyou for the chance to review this book.

My favourite book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series.

Cam & Dusty forever 💕

This story was so beautiful, I loved everything about it. Lyla’s writing was so moving, and from the first page I couldn’t put it down.

Cam & Dusty’s story is one that spans 15 years and seeing the glimpses of their past as they find their future was so magical.

Of course Lyla also didn’t disappoint, the spice was 🔥 and let me just say that Dusty Tucker might be my favourite man in this series.

I’ll miss Rebel Blue, Lyla you’ve created the most gorgeous world.

Thank you to Quercus and NetGalley for the arc 🫶🏻✨

Right well… for starters, finishing this book made me feel so empty and put me in a huge slump because HOW IS THIS SERIES OVER?!? You mean I can’t go back to Rebel Blue Ranch?!? It just cannot be😩😩😩
Dusty and Cams story truly felt like an epic love! The second chance at first love element was beautiful. The secret love letters filled with so much pining, yearning and heart break damn near broke me! Dusty deserved the absolute world and all I wanted was for him to get his HEA. It felt like an emotional rollercoaster reading their journey as I was tossed between feeling so angry at Cam for putting Dusty through what she did, to then feeling like they were made for each other!
Dusty just understood Cam to her bones and no one can tell me they don’t want to be loved the way that he loved her!!!
Out of the series this book also had the slowest burn. I don’t know if that’s because of the now and then duel timeline or the tension that we were fed throughout the first three books but I was DESPERATE for them to finally give in to their desires. And when that cord snapped!!!!! Well it was HOT!! The best spice! 🔥🔥🔥
This series is a small town, found family & cowboy romance lovers dream! The way that I truly believed I was living on this ranch and that these characters were my best friends… well it was impeccable and also a rude wake up call once I’d finished.
Run to read this series if you haven’t already and get pre-ordering this book guys!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4.5/5 🌶️🌶️1.5-2/5

Tropes:
🌹Single Mum
🌹Second Chance Romance
🌹Small Town Romance

Well I didn’t think I could love a couple as much as I adored Ada and Wes but Cam and Dusty were utter perfection.

Dusty and Cam date in their late teens until competing priorities force them apart, Dusty leaves Meadowlark to travel the world and Cam soon finds herself pregnant with another man’s baby. Despite their years apart Dusty and Cam have undeniable chemistry, the tension was palpable and Dusty is now my favourite Lyla Sage MMC ( sorry not sorry, Wes).

“I don’t even know if I can start over because I don’t know if I ever actually started in the first place.”
This line was just *chefs kiss*

I loved this book so much more than I thought I would, Lyla Sage did a phenomenal job writing this and it may just be in my top 5 romance reads of 2025 and I will be comparing every book couple to Cam and Dusty.

Thank you to Quercus Books and NetGalley for the ARC.

4.5 ⭐

I really enjoyed this book and it was such a great ending to this series

I love a second chance, "it's always been you" vibes and this didn't disappoint

- small town romance / cowboy romance
- single mum
- second chance
- dual timeline
- snowed in - only one room

I love the dual timeline and seeing the start of their friendship and relationship and discovering why they broke up in the first place over the course of the flashbacks

I love Dusty's love for Cam and how he never stopped loving her and how you could feel it even when it wasn't his pov, it was just so wholesome

This series holds a special place in my heart and I love all the characters and think this will be a series I will forever want to reread

The bonus content at the end had me sobbing the whole way through - it was so good but I'm sad this series is over (tho we do get 3 novellas and I'm so excited for those)

Thank you to Quercus & NetGalley for the eARC - all opinions are my own

What a perfect ending to a brilliant series! I loved Cam and Dusty and the way we saw their relationship grow both as teenagers through the flashbacks and in the present with both of them as adults with lives of their own. Cam is left at the altar and Dusty is the one who saves her from her despair and is her getaway driver. Their relationship has been hinted at throughout the other novels in the series and getting to see their relationship up front was wonderful. One thing that sets this series apart from others is the way we get to see both Gus and Cam get their happy ever after and we see how much Riley is loved by her entire family. The bonus epilogue was also a wonderful way to say goodbye to these characters.
Thank you for the ARC , it made my week.

I wish there was some way on earth for Lyla Sage to write me my own perfect cowboy and for him to come to life.

This book was utter perfection. I’m so beyond belief happy that Cam and Dusty got their happy ending. We’ve been teased throughout the first three Rebel Blue books about them and to finally have their story in my hand was an honour.

Cam and Dusty are such beautifully written characters and this is probably the only time I will love a slow burn trope used. To see Cam overcome her fears and stand on her own two feet was so inspiring and Dusty, what a man. I wish a love like theirs was the real thing. I’d literally never let him go.

We see them come together after 15 years apart and realise the love had never left. That in the end, it overcame it all.

It was also so lovely to have the characters come back together for the final instalment in the series and see how they’re doing. I will always love Emmy and Teddy. And the ending, oh the ending was EVERYTHING.

I just loved this. I will have this book in my heart for a long, long time.

Rating - 8/10 ⭐

Firstly I want to thank @hachette for once again gifting me this e-arc! I have loved reading this series so much and I was ecstatic to see I received the final book!

I was very excited for this story due to the tension between Cam and Dusty in the previous book. Before I started this book I already loved Dusty so much and I was so excited for Cam to get her love story!

Friends to lovers is a favourite trope of mine especially when it's a highschool sweetheart 🥹🥹

I loved the before chapters of them falling in love during highschool so much! It was so nice seeing the beginning of their relationship through to the end of it, especially as well didn't have a full understanding of how it ended.

During the present chapters it was soooo good seeing Cam be treated how she deserves to be! Dusty is a gentleman and soo kind and caring. And those spicy scenes 🥵👀 I ate this up.

I flew through this book in 2 days and it was such an easy read!

My only disappointment is that this being the last book of the series I was expecting a nicer closure for the family or some sort of epilogue that showed more of the family a year later or something like that. It sort of ended quickly and with no other mention of the other characters.

But other than that this was such a lovely second chance romance story and I loved that Dusty and Cam finally got their happy ending 😍

This book was quite frankly all I’ve ever needed in a book. With every book in this series each one got better and I wondered how this book would even match up to the previous. Dusty and Cam were absolutely everything. Cam is someone who I resonated a lot with- insecurities that stem from trying to live up to people’s expectations and fear to take a leap after a past full of hurt. Dusty was just… such a vibe. Like the ultimate man. Emotionally intelligent, steady, authentic. I’d have really liked to have seen Cam’s parents get an absolute knock down of all proportions but this was a fantastic end to a killer series
Thank you netgalley and the publisher for allowing me an ARC of this book

I was so excited when I got notification that I had received an advance copy of Wild and Wrangled through NetGallery, so I knew I needed to read this book ASAP and boy it didn't disappoint....

Loved Cam and Dusty's story throughout, their struggles and also liked how we were able to go back to see how they initially first met, became friends and then became so much more. How Dusty was able to slowly but surely break down the walls that Cam had built around her was so endearing. He treated her with the respect she needed to take the next step away from her past.

This is a second chance romance that will have you swooning in all the right places 🥰

❤️ Cowboy Romance
❤️ Small Town Romance
❤️ Childhood Friends to Lovers
❤️ Second Chance
❤️ First Love
❤️ Past Wounds

I am so sad that this is the end of my Rebel Blue Ranch journey, as I have enjoyed every book in the series. Can't wait to see what Lyla has in store for us next 🥰

Thank you again for letting me read this before it is due to published.

The final book in the Rebel Blue Ranch series. This book was the perfect conclusion to the series. I do still want more of all of these characters, this has been my favourite cowboy romance series. Cam and Dusty story was beautifully writtern going back between the present and the past. This got us to know more about the characters and understand their past and the reasons behind the friendship/relationship. Lyla your ability to write and flow your stories is amazing, I'm so excited to see what is next for you.

Goodbye Rebel Blue Ranch it has been a ride.

I was nervous when I released this was a second chance romance but holy moly did Lyla deliver!

I absolutely adored Dusty and Cam! It was great seeing the back and forth between last and present and see how much character growth they both had.

Get me a man who will wait fifteen years for me and never waiver in his love and devotion!

I can’t believe Rebel Blue is over. I can’t wait to see what Lyla does next!

4.5 ⭐️

this was absolutely stellar. 4.5 stars rated on goodreads & fable currently. I loved every second of this book. it was beautiful & tense & strong. the characters were absolutely beautiful & watching their growth was heartwarming. I loved how this book was the true definition of things happen for a reason & sometimes people must grow before they could find out each other again. while I was heartbroken for dusty more than I was for cam, her character development was beautiful & dusty loved her through it all (even if at points I felt she should be the one groveling to him) .. but there coming together was so beautifully thought out. this was a great ending to a beautiful set of 4 stories & to end it with emmy & brooks wedding. couldn’t have finished it off any sweeter!!!!

Tropes: ▪ Cowboy ▪ Second Chance ▪ Forced Proximity ▪ Single Mum ▪ Friends to Lovers ▪ Slow Burn ▪

This is most definitely my favourite book of the series! I have genuinely loved the entire series and I was so excited when this book hit my kindle!

When Cam's life is turned upside down by a missing groom, she has to completely restart her life. It just seems everywhere she turns she sees her high-school boyfriend and first love, Dusty. Dusty has always been in love with Cam, so if he can help her navigate this new turn in her life he will.

Anyone that knows me, knows that friends to lovers isn't my favourite trope, but this was done so well and it was just perfect for Cam and Dusty! I absolutely loved their book and I'm so sad the series has come to an end. I absolutely recommend it and I can't wait to get the Physical copy for my shelf!

Sweet second chance romance, simple story, very relaxing and in general good book to spend your time with. Can't wait what this author has in her mind next.

Thank you to both NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the absolute honour and pleasure of being an ARC reader for this book.

I have loved the other books in this series, but my goodness did this one hit so differently. I connected with these characters so deep in my soul, and this writing was just beautifully done.

I spent the last 15% sobbing and what a book to end the series on.

You guys are NOT ready for this one 😭😭
