Riding the High by Paisley Hope

This book was just perfect, Paisley Hope is fast becoming one of my go to authors. I love the tension and chemistry that she creates between the main characters, and I am always sad when the book is over, as I always want more from their future stories.

Ginger and Cole were an amazing duo, and Mabel is such a cute character. The spice was so good and just what I was expecting.

Many thanks to Netgalley, Random House UK, Cornerstone and Penguin for this e-arc in return for my honest thoughts and opinion

I swear this series gets better with every book. I've been ready for Ginger's book from the star,t and it did not disappoint. I adore Ginger. She's the perfect mix of sweet and sassy. Her sass covers up a more vulnerable side. It was so nice getting to see that side of her.

Ginger and Cole are so damn hot. Their banter is excellent, and the chemistry adds so much tension. I loved their friendship and seeing it bloom into more when they finally act on all that tension. Cole is so sweet and such a great dad. The accidental marriage was the perfect way to bring these two cuties together. They needed that aggressive shove.

Mabel is so freaking cute and her relationship with Ginger was so beautiful. The lake scene and the aftermath were so emotional. I just wanted to give Ginger a hug.

As with the rest of the series, I loved getting to catch up with the others as well. The found family is my favourite. I can't wait for the next book.

Just when you think these Ashby men can't get any hotter.. enter Cole Ashby! Ugh this man! I loved him.

The banter between Ginger and Cole was so so good and I loved the friendship they had over the years. Loved Mabel's character and the bond Ginger had with her.

Paisley's writing just gets better with each book. I've been so looking forward to Ginger and Cole ever since it's been hinted and this did not disappoint. The spice scenes aswell HOT!

Can't wait for more from this series.

I adored Cole and Ginger in the first books, so I couldn’t wait to read this book. I absolutely loved this book. This series is definitely one of my favs! 100% recommend!

🐎✨ Full of small-town charm, flirty banter, and just the right amount of drama, it had me hooked from the start. I really enjoyed the chemistry between the main characters (even if they were a bit stubborn at times but that just added to the tension!). The setting was dreamy, the romance was swoony, and overall it was a feel-good read I didn’t want to put down. Not quite a five-star, but a solid, satisfying 4⭐️ from me!

I loved this book so much. So so spicy and I just loved the tropes in this. Cannot wait for the next one to come out

I feel this book may have lacked some personality and depth to the characters. I ADORED Cole and Ginger in other previous books but something was missing in this one. I didn’t feel connected or enjoy them as much. Overall, I still really enjoyed the book though and I will definitely continue the series!

Wow, I ended up enjoying this much more than the first two books! Cole and Ginger have great chemistry and this did not feel cringey like the first two books - there's so much tension between them, and I loved the storyline of Vegas and nannying, it was so much fun. I really appreciated the relationship we saw grow between Ginger and Mabel, and how that helped the romantic relationship between Ginger and Cole to blossom. I truly think this is the author's best work yet, and I'm excited to see how the next book turns out!

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

When I tell you I needed this book like I needed air to breathe, I might be being a tad dramatic but Cole and Gingers book is one I've been excited to read since the very first book and it did not dissapoint.

Cole my sweet law daddy baby. This man has my whole heart and not because he's charming and funny and cares so much but because of how he is with his daughter. I adore their relationship so much, it's one of my favourite parts of this book until we see Ginger and Mabels relationship. Their relationship is so special, I enjoyed watching it all unfold.

Ginger, this woman is sass in cowboy boots. She speaks her mind and is no nonsense but underneath it all she wants the guy that she's unknowingly loved since she was a teenager and she finally gets him. Admittedly after a lot of alcohol, a secret vegas wedding but she got there.

I'm typically not a fan of friends to lovers but I enjoyed this. I think it's because we didn't go into this series with them knowingly being friends but iI did enjoy seeing the little flashbacks to their friendship throughout the years.

I'm just waiting on Olivia and Asher's (I hope it's Asher) book now and I'll be one happy girlie!

Single dad Cole and free spirit Ginger. This story gives cowboy romance, friends to lovers, forced proximity and found family and I absolutely adore both them and their story.

If you’ve read the previous two silver pines books you’ll know Cole and Ginger have always had this great chemistry. Paisley Hope gives us insights into their pasts and how they really began. From a pretty close friendship to becoming the sweetest family unit and the best team with Mabel (Cole’s 8 year old daughter).

As always with Paisley Hope, the writing is amazing, the plot was good and the spice was SPICEY🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

An amazing feel good read, 5⭐️

I quite enjoyed this read for a multitude of reasons, but mainly because it was quite easy to delve into. The narrative was easy to follow, I wanted to know how the characters were going to progress and it spurred me to keep reading. I liked the characterisation, especially Cole. I felt like I had quite warmed to him and I was rooting for him the whole way.

Overall, not my favourite romance ever but it was most definitely enjoyable!

Book 3 in the Silver Pines Ranch series following Cole and Ginger.

These two have always had something between them and they've always been there for each other but neither of them have ever admitted to each other how they feel. The closest they've ever come is a heated kiss in Cole's truck (which he cut short) right before he went to work on another ranch for the summer and they didn't speak the whole time, leading Ginger to think she'd made a terrible mistake and lead to the two of them dancing around each other for the next several years.

Now, it's becoming harder and harder for them to deny their attraction to one another or they way they feel and things come to a head while they're in Las Vegas celebrating Nash and Cece's bachelor/bachelorette parties. Drunk and letting loose, they get married and spend an incredible night together before reality sneaks in the next morning and they realise the gravity of what they've done, thankfully, they're so close as friends they both take it in stride and work together to figure out a solution.

That solution is Ginger moving in with Cole and his daughter Mabel, to be her nanny for the summer. Of course being under one roof playing house is not going to stop the chemistry between them and when Cole faces losing both Ginger and Mabel during a freak storm, he's done pretending he doesn't have feelings for her and lets go.

Both Cole and Ginger are great characters and they were clearly destined to be together but it felt like there was something lacking in the story. I don't know if it was to do with them as characters or that none of the obstacles they faced felt complete. There were two occasions in the book where I thought we might be heading for a third act break up (which I'm pleased didn't happen) but I feel like after the first half of the book being all will they/won't they that they could have been fleshed out a little more.

The spice was hot, but not as hot as book two (I can't speak for book one - I haven't read it yet). When I read the TW page I thought we were going to be in for some super spicy scenes but these never really played out so I was a little disappointed lol.

Thanks to NetGalley and Penguin for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.

I’ve been a Paisley Hope fan since Holding The Reins and I was so excited to read the third book in the Silver Pines Series, Riding The High. Cole and Gingers story was everything I’d hope it would be. Steamy friends to lovers with a sweet tender twist when you learn about their history. Roll on Book 4…,I can’t wait! I don’t want this series to end

Man I really enjoyed this book. It had the perfect mix of banter as well as a little bit of longing and filled with delicious tension and spice. Cole and Ginger are truly meant to be and this might be my favourite book in the series!

The third book was the one I have been waiting for….Cole Ashby’s turn

A single dad and now interim sheriff does Cole have the time for love

Another good read added to the series

Love love love this book , gave me all the feels , I can’t wait for the next one, I loved the characters and the banter , I enjoyed everything about this book

I did not enjoy this book as much as i wanted to. I feel like there was no real connection past sex for the characters which made it a bit underwheling. It wasn't a bad book but i had higher expectations based on the other books

Every single book in this series has me even more obsessed than the one before+ this one might be my favourite yet. A single dad romance with a secret friendship+ accidental marriage? I had no chance😮‍💨

This book was sweet, spicy, funny + wholesome as hell. I was so happy to finally see Ginger and Cole get their HEA after all the banter + teasing we see perfectly setting them up in the first two books. The way they finally gave in to their feelings for one another after SO long being there for one another in the background was FLAWLESS+ the chemistry and banter between them was so authentic. And the throwbacks in timeline? Absolutely perfect for highlighting that intense pining + tension between them that had been building for so many years.

The single dad trope just absolutely melts me every time. The little everyday moments where Cole watches Ginger with his little girl got me so hard in the feels & Mabel and Ginger’s connection was so precious.

I’m just obsessed with this friendship group and the found family element. It truly is one of the best aspects of this series. Ginger was for sure one of my favourite FMCs: her sass, authenticity and confidence made her such a fun character & Cole was protective, swoony and caring as hell.

I highly recommend picking up these books if you’re looking for a small town, spicy romance series with the ultimate girl gang! 🫶🏽

I love this series and this instalment was no different. Lovely to revisit our previous couples and see how they’re getting on, whilst also getting lost in another ranch romance. A great holiday read, highly recommended.

Spicy romance set on an a ranch. Ginger (a teacher) and Cole (a ranch owner) have always fancied each other since high school and have met on numerous occasions as their families socialise.
Cole has a daughter Mabel, and needs childcare in the summer so asks Ginger to help and move into his annex.
Will they keep hands off each other? Of course not
