Wild and Wrangled by Lyla Sage

4.0

Lyla Sage wrangles up another unforgettable romance in Wild and Wrangled, delivering all the charm, angst, and swoon-worthy moments readers crave. Set against the rugged beauty of small-town Wyoming, this second-chance romance lassoed my heart from page one and never let go.

With classic cowboy grit and deep emotional undercurrents, Sage brings us a story of love lost—and found again—in the most heart-tugging of ways. The “It’s always been you” vibe runs strong as two former flames, now older, wiser, and more scarred, are thrown back into each other’s orbits through forced proximity. Secrets, longing, and secret tattoos bubble to the surface as they navigate co-parenting, small-town expectations, and feelings that never truly faded.

One of the most refreshing aspects is the single mom representation, grounded and real without overshadowing the romance. The dual points of view give us full access to the emotional depth of both characters, letting us feel every stolen glance and every quiet ache.
