Wild and Wrangled

4.02 AVERAGE


4.5 stars - a wonderful romance full of sweet relationships, love and hope. The perfect send off to the series.

Having absolutely loved Lost and Lassoed I couldn’t wait to start Wild and Wrangled. I very much enjoy second chance romances especially when they are done well, which this one most definitely was. As with the other three books in the Rebel Blue Ranch series this was another heartfelt romance full of love and hope.

The flashbacks to when Cam and Dusty were high schoolers were sprinkled in perfectly, these moments added such depth to both of the characters as well as their relationship then and now. To see how much they had both grown and changed since high school and how they still felt so strongly about one another despite the years having passed was so sweet.

Dusty’s unwavering love and surety of his own feelings was the strength in this love story. He is unequivocally the epitome of a gentleman. To be there for Cam time and time again, supporting her and Riley’s needs, his maturity to know that the timing when they were kids just wasn’t right for them but that they could both work on themselves to be in a place where they could support, trust and love one another once again now 15 years later.

As with the other books the relationships (friendships and romantic pairings) are so beautifully written with such care and attention to the characters needs from each other. It was so lovely to see the progression of past characters (Teddy’s ‘step parent’ relationship with Riley) as well as fall in love with Dusty and Cam being together.

I absolutely loved the bonus chapter of Emmy and Luke’s wedding day. It was so sweet to have all the siblings and Amos together at her mother’s resting place. It was the perfect roundup to this heartfelt romance series, I am so sad to say goodbye to Rebel Blue and will miss these characters dearly.

Thank you Quercus, Lyla sage for granting my arc request wish on Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The fourth, and final, installment of the Rebel Blue Ranch follows the story of Cam and Dusty—their past and present. Cam has been left at the alter, leaving her world upside down. Dusty recently returned to Meadlowark hoping to make his hometown home again. Dusty and Cam continue to find their paths crossing, which brings up unresolved feelings from their high school sweethearts past. They are forced to face these potentially lingering emotions for each other while navigating what a friendship could look like. Through the many ups and downs, Cam and Dusty have to ask themselves if the people they became after parting ways 15 years ago can grow into a better relationship, or if they will be stuck in the past. 

If you are someone who loves romance books, cowboys, past lovers trope, or all of the above, then this book is for you! And while you’re at it, read the entire series! 

I can’t think of a more perfect ending for the Rebel Blue Ranch series! Have I asked my husband if he wants to become a cowboy in Wyoming multiple times since I started with Done and Dusted? YES. *he has said no each time*

Adorable! Glad to finally see Cam and Dusty's story. Though I wish there was more to the Gus and Cam back story. Love how loyal Dusty is and how easily they were able to pick up their relationship.

This was my least favorite of this series.  Still fine but I just didn’t care about the characters the way I did in the first 3 books.

I thought the flashbacks to the MCs high school romance went on too long. It was necessary background but I didn’t need so much of it. This one didn’t seem as “fun” as the others; the MCs had conversations not cute banter.  The FMC’s parents are so absurdly one dimensional that I just didn’t care what they did.  And the daughter is cute but no child is that perfect all the time with all the changes going on around her.  

It is a 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ with detailed scenes and dirty talk. The spice was great. The author does that really well. This book just seemed kind of unnecessary to the series. I’m
