The fact I knew as soon as I read the prologue of this book that it would be 5 stars or over, should really tell you how much I love and trust Paisley Hopes writing.

This book has now entered my top 5 romance books ever read and also has become my #1 small town/ranch setting romance book. I am NEVER getting over this book. Truly obsessed 😭.

The crumbs in previous books ate, but when you find out that they had a secret friendship for years? FERAL. Ginger and Cole were the definition of partners in crime in the beginning of this book & I absolutely loved it. Their personalities are the best match for each other, you have Cole who TRIES to be so responsible but Ginger is so fun in the best way that he just ends up going with it. I really enjoyed how this book started as them building their foundation as friends, we got to see every step of the way, past and present and it felt like their chemistry and romantic relationship was so natural after reading that.

The chemistry, the banter, the back&forth had me so giddy. This is one of those books where your gonna be giggly & kicking your feet constantly because once you get Cole Ashby in a room with Ginger, he doesn’t hold back on telling her how he feels 🤭. Cole has 100% become my favourite Paisley MMC!!
Their love was so beautiful, they truly loved every part of one another and it was so sweet to read. The way they had each others backs through everything, it may of even been silently but you could just so feel that they were there for each other by the looks they gave or even their thoughts. There was so much genuine care between these two characters, it felt unmatched by any couple I have read. They were the definition of ride or die best friends turned soulmates.

Ginger & Mabel!! Their relationship repaired my heart after reading about Mabel’s relationship with her real mum in previous books & abit in this book. Mabel was actually the funniest little character. “Can you stop staring at my dad and help me cast?” she was so onto them 🤣. I feel like she was perfectly aged to! The domestic moments between the three of them were so perfect, their everyday life was a dream to read, filled with the fun, the growing up scaries and little anxieties which Ginger and Cole helped Mabel get over, the parenting was written amazingly!

The spice, I can’t write this review without mentioning it because 🙂‍↕️😮‍💨, no spoilers but please just read it!! The pacing had me on the edge of my seat, it built the tension so much that when it did happen I was screaming.

I feel like the Ashbys hold such a special place in my heart now! Reading Ivy & Wade bring their little girl into the world had be sobbing.
*below is about wade & his daughter - no spoiler quote*
“staring down into his daughter's eyes. She stares intently back at him, and it feels as though they recognize each other from another life.”
That quote has now become one of my favourite quotes, the emotion in that scene had me bawling.

I could write about this book forever, but once it releases on may 8th (UK) please go and read it!! Paisley should be so proud because that was an absolute masterpiece of a book 😭🫶

Thank you so much to Paisley Hope, Penguin Random House Publishing & NetGalley for the ARC! 🩵

I throughly enjoyed this book! Paisley is becoming one of my favourite authors because I love the way she writes romance. She blends banter with emotion so beautifully in this book that I couldn’t put it down. I could feel their feelings for each other coming off the page! And I loved that the “third act conflict” wasn’t predictable!

Single dad is one of my favourite tropes, there is nothing more attractive than a doting father. Cole is up there with the top single dad mmc’s. I am also not a fan of miscommunication or third act break ups so how this couple dealt with the drama, ticked all the boxes for me. Ginger and Mabel’s relationship was just so lovely to see aswell. This book is a light hearted, feel good small town romance. At the end I was trying to guess if there will be another book and who that couple would be!

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House for this Arc copy.

I have loved this series from the beginning and the couples have been incredible, Cole and ginger did not disappoint!
I read this book in one sitting like the rest of paisley hopes books this was 5⭐️
This book was everything I hoped for and more🫶I loved Cole in the previous books and his chemistry with ginger was amazing! Paisley knows how to write a good plot to spice book and I will read anything she writes. Cole and ginger were such loveable characters and I always love a trip to vegas where things get a little wild🤣 they are the definition of friends to lovers. One of my favourite things about this series is the family they are always involved and I loved Mabel, she was adorable and I loved how her relationship with ginger progressed.
Thank you NetGalley, Paisley hope and her team for sending me this ARC to review. All options are my own!
