Stargazer Springs Ranch #1
Wrangled by Lilith
My plan is to start over without a man. But car woes and a cowboy are making it difficult.
Lilith
I don’t need a man. And I definitely don’t need his money. After spending twenty-five years as a trophy wife, I’m single again and on my own. Well, not completely alone. I have my cat.
My fresh start isn’t going well. Car trouble leaves me stranded in the Texas Hill Country, but a helpful stranger with wicked blue eyes and well-worn cowboy boots shows up. Too bad he’s a man. I’ve sworn off men.
Beau
My mama taught me better than to leave a stranger on the side of the road . . . even if she is toting around an exotic cat and has fiery red hair and a temper to match. But like a kid with matches, I’m drawn to her in spite of the risk.
Or maybe a little risk is exactly what my settled bachelor life needs.
One problem: she hates men. And since I am one, trying to win her over might be harder than taming a wild stallion. But what’s the worst that can happen? Embarrassment? A broken heart? Death?
She might be worth it.

Welcome to Stargazer Springs Ranch where you'll find good lookin' cowboys and feisty women full of sass, all trying their hardest not to fall in love. Little do they know, fate has something special in store for each and every one of them.
Both Lilith and Beau have been burned by love in the past and neither one of them are really interested in having it happen again. But there's no denying the spark that ignites whenever they're around each other.
While Lilith does her best to push Beau away, Beau does his best just to push her buttons. Y'all. The man lives for getting a rise out of her and I'm not going to lie, I found it highly entertaining. I think she secretly loved it but of course she was not going to let him know that. They have definitely met their match in each other. And while they both can be pretty dang stubborn, I loved watching these two finally get the HEA they each deserved.
I cannot tell you how much I adored this book. It was the perfect book to curl up with and read the day away. I lost count of how many times I giggled and let out little dreamy sighs. It's a great start to a fun series!
I am loving this setting and all the side characters. Both are one of my favorite things when it comes to series like this. It's definitely going to be fun getting to know each and every one of them and watching them get their HEA's as well. Y'all are in for a treat with this series!
It's no secret that Ms. Carrington has become one of my favorite authors. I don't even read the synopsis any more... I just one-click these babies and start reading. She is a very talented writer and I cannot wait to see what she has in store for us next!
As for my casting... I'm not going to lie. This one was a bit harder for me but I ended up loving them! What do you think?

This romance just didn’t appeal to me.
The story was lighthearted, mostly clean, and the main characters were my age instead of the typical young things. It read a lot like a Hallmark move and was pretty fluffy.
The female main character turned me off from the beginning with her rudeness and juvenile attitude. It’s one thing to be hurting on the inside, it’s another to spread that pain around to others, especially when they are making sacrifices to help you. I didn’t feel like she resolved her issues, she just jumped on a new train carrying all her old baggage.
The male main character was amused by the abuse and adopted a policy of dishonesty from the outset which kind of ruined the connection for me.
Eventually things worked out but the happy ending sort of twisted around the conflict about finances without providing resolution.
Mild violence. No sex but some innuendo. Mild language.

You'll love Lilith and Beau's story and it's a great stat to the Stargazer Springs Ranch Series Grab a comfy spot and your favorite drink because you'll find this book hard to put down once you begin. The characters are well developed and full of life. They are just what the other needed even though it took them a while to recognize that. She was done with men. A clean romance with lots of spunk. Their back and forth banter was hilarious at times. Two people who needed each other but it took them a while to figure that out. A good, clean romance that was a great read. i read an advance copy via the author and voluntarily chose to review it.

The Lilith in this book was a woman scorned who had divorced her cheating husband and sworn off all men. She was forced into accepting help from Beau when her car broke down on a deserted road and he stopped to assist her. Her snarky comments to Beau were designed to show him that she didn’t need him and his witty comebacks made for some humor throughout the story and kept me entertained while the author gradually brought the couple together. I loved it all. This is going to be a fun series! Highly recommend! I was entrusted with a copy of this book by the author and this is my voluntary and honest opinion.

I loved this story so much! Lilith and Beau were hilarious with their banter, and I enjoyed following along as they grew closer to each other. Stargazer Springs Ranch sounds like a place I would love to visit, and I want to be friends with Ava. I can't wait for more books in this series.

Lately I’ve had a really hard time finding a rom-com that was a hit for me. UNTIL, I found this one!
Lilith is looking for a fresh start after being a trophy wife & finding out her husband was cheating with a younger woman. She doesn’t have a good deal of money, but she does have her car and an exotic cat. While on her venture to start over, she runs into a situation that leaves her needing help. The problem: the only one there to help is a very handsome cowboy, Beau. Lilith told herself she would keep her distance from men, but that seems impossible in the situation and even more so as she continues on her new venture.
The first thing I have to say about this book, the banter is EVERYTHING! Lilith and Beau’s interaction are top notch and genuinely had me laughing. I loved how Pam incorporated the humor into this book. It was woven in so flawlessly. I also loved the character development. Not only does Lilith have a past that she’s running from, but you also get to learn so much about Beau & those on the ranch along the way. Which by the way, made me feel so connected to the side characters that I’ve never been more excited to get to their books (especially Ava, Clint, & Tandy)! This was such a fast paced read! If you’re looking for a rom-com that will actually have you laughing, but that also has some depth to it, check this one out!
Did I purchase the complete series after reading this? Yes! Did I also happen to purchase the Never Say Never series as well? Yes! That tells you just how much I loved Pam’s writing!🤭🤩

A new good addition to the Never Say Never series. You can see that Lilith absolutely failed at browsing and not shopping which is sweet to see. One thing, I love about this new book is that is about a second chance at love even after been burned also the maturity or age of Beau and Lilith gave the book another depth. No matter the age and the circumstances one has been through, one can still find love. Beau and Lilith absolutely deserved each other; although, in the beginning, I was quite annoyed by Lilith's behavior which was giving me a hard time focusing on the story. I put the book down and try to channel Lilith's energy (LOL) in me which in the end made the book enjoyable and easier to read. Love the surprise that Beau has a son he never knew about, he just accepted his son and swiftly moved into a father's role, and that is a plus for him. I"m hoping we will have a story for Garret.

This is a charming and cute enemies to lovers romance that I just couldn't put down. Be prepared to smile, giggle, and laugh out loud as you read this wonderfully written sweet story. Lilith and Beau were such an adorable pair and I really enjoyed following them as they became closer. Lilith is a determined, spunky woman and after washing her hands of her cheating husband, she definitely doesn't she need a man in her life. Beau has also been unlucky when it comes to love, and wants nothing to do with it. But he can't deny the attraction he feels for Lilith. With many witty and humorous dialogues along the way, their gradual romantic development was fun to follow. They are such an endearing couple and I became invested in their story all the way. An absolutely cute and fun story you do not want to miss!

Sweet, Lighthearted, and about 2nd, and even "Third times the charm."
4 Stars. Humerous Romantic Comedy. From someone who's been cheated on most of a near 25 year marriage, to to someone who was burned twice and has sworn off dating.
Even the Minor characters are hilarious, Tandy cracks me up, along with Clint's aversion to red heads in general. Their was one phrase used, that I didn't know, and think I didn't want to look up but otherwise it was kept clean.
You won't want to miss the witty and snarky banter between Lilith and Beau, not how they overcome their past hurts, and mistakes.

Just when you think your life has hit rock bottom, it gets worse. Your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Good news is there is a truck headed your way. Not willing to trust any man, things become more difficult. The stranger who rescues you also frustrated you. The banter is like foreplay for these two. Lol hilarious interactions between them. You never know what is coming next but it will make you smile.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. Beau is every thing that Lilith should and wants to hate at this time in her life. She is everything he did not know that he needed in a woman and then some. These two have sparks flying from their first meeting. The story is full of humor, sweetness, charm and love. It was well written and the characters perfect for each other

Lilith and Beau are an unusual couple to start off.
Lilith is as prickly as they come after being recently divorced and left financially struggling. But at least she got the exotic cat, right?
Beau has been twice bitten third time shy, but a tease here and there is all fair in love and war right?
Add these two together and you get a hell of a lot of sparks and a whole load of fun, did I mention a cat, don’t forget about her too.
Such a hoot to read, didn’t want to put it down, you will definitely enjoy it and it will leave you with a smile on your dial.

Lilith is a woman done wrong who is through with men. So getting rescued by Beau is not something that is making her feel great. Their banter and her resistance to Beau is understandable. But I liked that he hung in there and held his own and that have them a chance.Such a fun and witty story. I want to read the next book in this series.

I loved Lilith and Beau's story, it is funny and romantic, but what I liked was that Lilith wasn't some young girl but a full on grown woman that had already been married for 25 years and even being hurt she is sure of her self and is determined to live life as she wishes. I truly recommend this story.

(4.5 stars) - Flirtation as the weapon of choice!
Lilith is running away from a loveless marriage as a trophy wife & is determined never to be in that position again. When she finds herself in very frustrated need of help, Beau comes to her rescue. The last thing she wants is to need a man, but she doesn't have much choice.
Beau's been scorched by love not just once but twice. The last thing he wants is to feel attracted to the ornery lady in distress, but he can't leave her to fend for herself. Teasing her helps keep her at a safer distance - turns out it's also kind of fun
The author does a fantastic job of making their transition from enemies to lovers credible. The dual pov helps us understand what their motivations are & keeps the story believable even as it entertains. All of the characters are well done, too. And I was amused to see that Clint will be enjoying some payback in the next book!
*Romance level: passionate kisses, some discreet references to holding off on intimacy in relation to marriage & a little bit of innuendo on a couple's wedding night, but no graphic details (probably equivalent to a PG rating)

Wrangled by Lilith is a seriously fun read! If you've ever traveled with a cat, you will totally understand the first scene. Lilith and Princess in the car are a humorous caution to cat lovers everywhere. (You don't have to be a cat fan to enjoy the book though. Princess is in a few scenes, but definitely not a main character.) I loved the sniping between Lilith and Beau and enjoyed the way that their romance developed. I like that authors are writing romances with mature characters, well, older ones anyway! The plot had a big twist that was very touching. I recommend this book to clean/wholesome romance readers and to readers that love cowboys.
I received a complimentary copy. I chose to write a review and share my opinion of this well-written romance.

I got this book in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed the book. The characters are not your normal 20ish couple - but a little older (I'd call them middle aged). I liked the theme of trust, honesty and communication. It is a clean romance but some parts of it a little steamier than I would normally read.
This is part 1 in a new series for the author (the second to come out in March). I am intending to read this part also as it contains characters that appeared in this series. The author has set up enough characters that the series can continue on for a while - it will be good to see the other characters get their happy endings as well.

This is book 1 in Carrington's Stargazer Springs Ranch series and the first book I've read of hers. I am certainly looking forward to more after this read! I loved Lilith and Beau's story! I loved that these characters are seasoned - they've got a true history and that this book provides a second chance at love even, especially after past hurts have hardened the heart. I absolutely loved the dynamic and banter between Lilith and Beau and can't wait to see what's in store for this series! Sweet and fun and all around a heartwarming romance read - I loved it!

Their Destined Journey To Happiness -
This is an amazing swoon-worthy clean read, with a few heated moments scattered throughout the pages, that don’t cross into the boundaries of adult only. If you want to enjoy a feel-good story, about two people who didn’t know they needed each other to heal their broken hearts, then this is definitely the book for you. The story is a real page turner, that you will definitely not be able to put down once you start reading it.

Wrangled by Lilith is the first book in Remi Carrington’s Stargazer Spring Ranch series and a wonderful, engaging and well-written story with strong chemistry and credible characters. I like the pace of events and the writing flowed and kept my interest throughout the entire book. Readers are also introduced to members of the cast who will likely feature in future stories in the series, which is certainly intriguing. Overall, an enjoyable read and one I’m happy to recommend.

Snark, laughter, love, and sweet romance. The writing is sharp and witty. I laughed out loud, talked to the characters about making bad choices, and burnt dinner while reading this book. Beau and Lilly, along with a full cast of fun characters, grabbed and kept my attention. I have a book hangover and can't get them out of my mind.
I was given an advanced copy of this novel for an unbiased review and loved the story so much, I went ahead and purchased it so I'd have an official copy. Not only that, I've preordered the next book in the series as well.

Lilith has left her husband of twenty five years, there was a prenup so she's been left with nothing. She took Princess, her cat. She wants nothing more to do with men, especially rich men. Then her car breaks down and she's rescued by Beau, but she still doesn't want anything to do with him, and if she knew his secret she'd want even less to do with him.
Then she appears to have a stalker, or is he stalking Beau?
A great read from Remi
