Loved by Tandy

"There's no denying that Tandy was my first love. What are the odds we can rekindle that?"

When I see significantly older couples who are still very much in love and solicitous of each other's wellbeing, it completely melts my heart.

That's one reason I just loved this second chance romance for senior couple, Tandy and Matthew. It was such a lovely and sweet story, the kind I hugged to my chest when I came to the last page.

They were high school sweethearts who had a rough breakup. Tandy moved away and became a successful romance writer. Matthew eventually moved on from his first love, married and had a family.

Several years later they reconnect when Tandy moves back and Matthew is now a widower. She's still upset with him, but he patiently wears her down, longing to be friends again. And then longing for more.

I loved these two mature characters, and with that maturity, a refreshing openness and lack of drama. I loved their banter, teasing, and cute flirting. The depth of their love and consideration for each other was heartwarming.

Loved By Tandy is simply a beautiful and sweet story, because everyone should get an HEA, no matter how old they are.

This is book 6 in the Stargazer Springs Ranch series, but can definitely be read as a standalone.

Remi's books always leave me with the warm and fuzzies, but I was not expecting to be so choked up at the end of this one! Loved by Tandy is book 6 in her sweet cowboy romcom series - Stargazer Springs Ranch. Each book features an older couple - usually in their 40's, but this one is the second chance romance story for two people in their 70's.

So, what can you expect in this book?
* Second Chance Romance
* First Love
* Youthful Mistakes
* Stubborn Woman/ Patient Man
* Inside Jokes and Nicknames
* He Takes Care of Her
* Big Hunk Candy Bars and Donuts
* Fur Babies
* Matchmaker
* Climbing Through the Window

Get ready to laugh, roll your eyes, and fall in love with the sweetness of finding "the one" during the golden years.

"I'm happy for the companionship and the spark of romance. Being with Matthew doesn't make me feel young. There are too many aches and creaky joints to forget my age. But he does make me feel timeless." - Tandy

OMG such a great story. I could not put it down. I read a couple of chapters daily until near the end, then read the last of it all in one sitting. It was nice to read a story about people closer to my own age. Great job!!! Whi's next?

Reader's Notes:

- this is part of a series, but can be read as a stand-alone

- this is told from Tandy & Matthew's points of view

- it is mentioned that in their younger years a character surprised another by showing up wearing little to no clothing & it didn't go over well (nothing mentioned beyond this in terms of describing the character's body/clothinglessness)

- it is mentioned that a character still occasionally grieves their passed away spouse & another grieves their friend's (past) unexpected passing

- it is briefly mentioned that a character didn't grow up with a good home life

Review:

I've met Tandy through various cowboys from the Cowboys of Stargazer Springs Ranch Rom Com Series as well as through Blake & Steph in Captivated by Steph and she was so much fun/funny to meet through them all! Because of reading Captivated by Steph, I was able to find out before this book that Tandy knew Matthew and didn't want to be around him which I found to be very interesting considering how she loved seeking out people and matchmaking them. Reading their story opened a door to the unexpected backstory Tandy harbored with Matthew and I really enjoyed getting to know it and them through it. I also loved getting to see them reconcile and get their second chance though they had things in the way of it. I'm very excited to see what will happen with Tandy's new matchmaking ranch in the future!

This is a much later-in-life, second-chance romance that is so well done, is so funny, and so stinking sweet-Tandy is a hoot of a side character in many of the author's other books and I just loved getting her story and HEA.

Things I Loved:
-The candy
-The banter
-Insults mug
-Big Hunk
-THE ladder ??
-Grandy ??
-The sweetest ending and epilogue!

This can definitely be read as a standalone, but it is so fun that we not only see the characters from the previous books in this series, but also several appearances from some of the Never Say Never and Stargazer Springs Ranch series. It's like little rewards for reading them all! ????

I enjoyed reading this second chance, later-in-life romance. Tandy has been a fun and slightly outrageous character in the previous books in the Stargazer Springs Ranch series. It was interesting to read her story. Matthew is a sweet and incredibly patient man. Tandy did not make it easy for him. Loved by Tandy is humorous, but I didn't actually laugh out loud as I did in the other books in the series. I love the close friendships that the ladies in the series have with one another, which is expressed in taking care of one another and in being incredibly nosey! I recommend this book to readers that enjoy clean romantic comedy, mature (as in age, not actions) romances, all things western, and matchmaking stories. I am looking forward to the new series based on Tandy's Matchmaker Ranch. I would definitely read more by author Remi Carrington.
I received a complimentary copy and am sharing my opinion of this entertaining book.

Tandy has featured several times throughout the series and finally gets her own story and it was well worth the wait. She is so fun and feisty and her "not talking" phase with Matthew and the creative ways around this made me laugh. I liked that he was persistent with Tandy and didn't give up. Even if you are not a laugh out loud sort of reader, this book will most certainly make you smile frequently and leave you with a feel good factor.

We have been waiting for Tandy's story for a long time and it does not disappoint! Tandy has appeared in many "Stargazer Springs Ranch" and the "Never Say Never" stories. She is an author who loves to have cowboys, sans shirts, on the covers of her books and she is a matchmaker on the side. We have come to love her. Matthew Gallagher loved Tandy when they were teenagers, but through a horrible misunderstanding, they literally ran away from each other. Tandy swears she will never talk to Matthew again. When Tandy decides to renovate her house, the contractor hires Matthew to help. What can go wrong with this idea? Matt knows Tandy's weakness is candy, and who can resist a man bringing you chocolate? The fun begins when Tandy realizes that Matt is the one person qualified to help her with her newest dream: to build Matchmaker Ranch on a property she just bought. You will enjoy seeing many of the men of Stargazer Ranch and the Never Say Never stories and learn about how they have grown in their lives. Even Beau and Ava's magical "love ladder" makes an appearance! This was a fun read and a beautiful way to learn more about the mysterious Tandy, the matchmaker!

Oh my heart! I love this cast of characters that are sprinkled throughout several series set in and around Stargazer Springs. This is the 6th and final book in the Stargazer Springs Ranch series. It can be read as a standalone, but to get the full flavor of what makes Tandy special, please read all of them, including the other series too.

I just loved this book. It's an easy, light read, but it made my heart so full and happy. Tandy and Matthew are older, in their 70s, and have lived full lives. They do have history together and that helps to make this an evne more special conclusion to the series.

Don't worry, we are sure to see this sweet couple in the next series that is set on Tandy's Matchmaking Ranch. There were so many little things that I loved but won't mention because I want everyone to experience the fun for themselves.

Many thanks to the author for the complimentary copy of the ebook. I am happy to leave an honest review.

I have been waiting for Tandy's story, and boy was it worth the wait! I loved her cameos in several of the earlier books in this series. She has always been such a vibrant, charismatic figure. I've just wanted to know her more! Her story was simply wonderful!

I loved getting to know Matthew, and seeing how their story came together. Love later in life is precious to see. The author certainly kept it real with several obstacles that had to be overcome.

Fantastic story - I had a big old smile on my face reading this one!

This book gave me all the happy feels the whole way through. My grandma got remarried after my grandpa passed and they were so sweet! This story reminded me of that. Love isn't replaced, but it grows. I love that we got Tandy's story after her being in so many other books. This book was so well written and I am honored to have received an early copy. I truly enjoyed every moment of reading this heartwarming story ??

Stargazer Springs Ranch series:
Loved by Tandy, #6 - The perfect story for Tandy. Who said fun, romance, and marriage are only for the younger sets? Not Tandy, that's for sure. Source: The author. 5*

Wrangled by Lilith, #1 - I love this sweet, funny story, even when the last page came too soon. Everyone was good people whom I met before with the Stargazer Cowboy series. The dialog between Beau and Lily had me hurting from all the belly laughs. Ava added her share to the mix. Good story lines. Texans will especially enjoy this book, location and dialog. 5*

Enchanted by Joji, #2 - I love the books Remi writes. Well-written, romantic, funny, and nice characters you wish were real. Actually, you'll find people like them all over Texas. This second chance romance for a couple of 40-somethings is another fun read in this series. It is without the typical drama found in other books where she's a nut job and he has no backbone. Both work through their pasts to reach their future without the stupid formula problems, drama and actions. A feel good story. 5*

Helped by Ava, #3 - Ava is so strong in all the other books, yet, here was a bit of a headcase with her lack of self-confidence. But all worked out in this sweet, funny marriage-to-dating romance. That lil youngin Mason shared some good advice. The Mrs. Kravitz church member met her Samantha, mean ole biddy. 4*

Inspired by Mindy, #4 - You're never too old to change. Sweet. Romantic. They are both headcases, they get better once the ball gets rolling and they're working towards the same goal. The route they take is old fashioned and I love it. It is one of the best ways to learn about the other. Sir had his act together. 4*

Captivated by Steph, #5 - It is always fun reading a book from the Stargrazer Spring Ranch family. This one is full of laughs, love, friendship and family. Oh, the ladder makes a repeat performance. Poor thing when it runs out of couples. Good characters that keep ya chompin at the bit for more of

Loved this one! What a perfect end to the Stargazer Springs Ranch series. Loved that Tandy and Matthew got their second chance. I highly recommend this entire series if you're looking for characters that are a little bit older in life!

I have loved Tandy through out this series and was so excited when I found out she got her own book. She is one sassy and spunky mature lady. Her past with Matthew made me sad but so glad he didn't give up and she finally talked to him. I laughed out loud way too many times to count while reading this book. Catching up with her family and friends as well as with his was an added treat. Loved the epilogues.

So happy Tandy finally got her own story and HEA. Matthew and Tandy have "history". Tandy still refuses to speak with him, which leads to some hilarious moments. I love all the Stargazer Springs stories and the many characters. Thoroughly enjoyable read.
I received a complimentary copy of this book and this is my voluntary, honest review.

Loved by Tandy is a fun, clean, second chance romance. I am so happy that I finally got to read Tandy's story. I love Matthew and his persistence and creativity. I just sat down and read straight through this delightful romance!

- Second chance
- Friends to enemies to friends to lovers
- Later in life romance
- Miscommunication

I love the Stargazer Springs series. The series feels like a friend welcoming into their circle. For anyone who has read any of the series thus far, Tandy has been a recurring character known for her sass and matchmaking skills.

Tandy is realizing her dream of having a ranch devoted to matchmaking. She has much renovation to do, and is unhappily surprised when her handyman Blake brings along Matthew, who was Tandy's first love and first broken heart. Their relationship did not end well and Tandy has never gotten over it. Matthew eventually moved on and started a family with another woman.

Now widower Matthew realizes that he would like to rekindle the romance he had with Tandy all those years ago. But he finds it difficult to do so since she won't speak to him! He has to pull out all of the stops to thaw her heart. I really enjoyed watching him slowly win her over. Not to say there weren't bumps in the road, but that made the ending that much sweeter.

It was very refreshing to see some later in life characters been the main focus of a story instead of being relegated as a side plot. I smiled and giggled throughout the book. It was just perfection.
