Thank you so much to NetGalley and Paisley Hope for providing me with an ARC of this book.

I have wanted and needed this book for soooo long!! Cole and Ginger were that couple that ‘hated’ each other in the beginning of the series but it was inevitable that they were going to end up together.

Being able to experience these characters in so much more detail instead of seeing them as side characters was everything. The fact that Cole and Ginger had a secret friendship for years… was so unexpected but also makes so much sense. I loved how much they have pined for the other over the years but nothing ever happened and instead they created a friendship that both of them needed.

Cole is such a control freak that Ginger is his perfect match. Without her the man wouldn’t ever let loose, but then again maybe if he had more control they wouldn’t have ended up accidentally married in vegas… but oh well.

Honestly this entire dynamic between them worked so well, there are so many feelings so up in the air that they needed to be thrown together so they could finally sort through them and I’m so glad they did. Cole and Ginger did not disappoint and I’m so happy they finally got their happy ending together. I couldn’t have asked for a better conclusion to their story.

I absolutely love this entire series and every book I read makes me fall even more in love with it, I can’t wait for the next instalment!!

This series has been such a pleasant surprise—I didn’t expect to love it this much, but here we are! I was especially thrilled to get a book for Cole and Ginger (and sweet Mabel!), and it absolutely delivered. Riding the High blends both the tropes of ‘best friends brother’ and ‘vegas wedding’ the right amount.

What really stood out was the slow-burn friendship (which you see from the get go) and the connection connection between Ginger, Cole, and Mabel. I absolutely love that we went back to the beginning and got to see how the friendship evolved over time. I loved seeing Ginger and Mabel’s bond. It was so wholesome - That waterfall picnic date, honestly the cutest scene. The chemistry & the humour between them all made their story incredible. And the epilogue? Perfect.

Thank you NetGalley, Paisley Hope & Random House for the e-arc in exchange from my honest review.

Paisley has done it again. I absolutely loved being back in the Silver Pines world. Cole Ashby 🔥 the mouth on that man 🫠

The chemistry and the tension between these two was next level good 😮‍💨 I love some good banter and this one had plenty of it! I loved Gingers relationship with sweet little Mabel 🥹 Ginger really steps up to help Cole during the summer and watching the whole family dynamic grow was so special 🥰

Highly recommend this series and I cannot wait for what's to come next.

As much as I loved the main characters and the vibes of this book I felt like the sex scenes were very dragged out and over some which kind of spoiled it for me

Small town romance featuring a cowboy/sherif mmc and a nanny full of spice and adorable moments.

Friends for years, his sister’s best friend, he cannot cross that line. But drunk in vegas, they end up married and having consummated the marriage. He’s up for sherif and her dad’s up for election as local congressman. They don’t need a scandal so they stay secretly married until after the media has died down.

Cole is such a protective grump but gives Ginger space to hold her own too. Such a positive mature relationship built on a strong foundation of years of friendship.

Special mention for the cutest little Mabel!!! I’m not usually a fan of children in books; though some authors can write a single dad that convinces me to like that trope, and this is one of them!!!

Ginger is the best nanny to Mabes, their relationship is so cute and wholesome and Cole’s admiration of it is even cuter!!

The Ashby family make their appearance throughout this story again and I’m so here for it. I love the easy bantering between them all. It just gives such warm fuzzy feelings reading it.

Silver pines is one of my favourite places to visit, thank you Paisley Hope for creating such beautiful stories.

Thank you to netgalley and Penguin Random House UK for the advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

Riding the High by Paisley Hope was such a fun read! Set in the charming town of Silver Pines, we follow Ginger and Cole – two people who end up married after a wild Vegas night. What starts as a hilarious and unexpected situation turns into something much deeper.

I loved Ginger’s fiery spirit and Cole’s quiet charm, especially as they start off as friends and slowly fall for each other. The forced proximity element was so enjoyable, and the chemistry between them was off the charts. There were moments that had me laughing out loud, and others that were really heartwarming.

Paisley Hope does such a great job of mixing humour, romance, and just the right amount of spice. It’s the perfect romantic comedy to escape into – I couldn’t put it down!

If you’re into stories with lots of heart and a bit of cheeky fun, this one’s for you!

A secret friendship turns into a secret marriage after a wild night in Vegas for Ginger & Cole in this fabulous third instalment in the Silver Pines Ranch series. Unfortunately, as a newly elected sheriff and the daughter of a politician, it couldn't be more poorly timed.

The relationship between the two built slowly, with the perfect amount of angst and steam, and was balanced perfectly with Mabel's adorableness and their growth as a family.

This had everything I could ask for - a spicy hot sheriff, an adorable daughter, small-town goodness, and much more. I’m thankful I got a chance to read it early!

Enjoyed part 3 just as much as the other 2 from silver pines, was a good comfy read, would recommend this book for any cowboy loving fan.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶🌶🌶 - muuuuuch spicier than a korma 🥵

Right, cuff yourselves in, there's a new Sherrif in town! 👮‍♂️🥵

Before I get stuck in, thank you so much to Netgalley & Random House UK, Cornerstone | Penguin for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for honest feedback!

I could share SO many quotes, but I don't want to spoil anything (or get in trouble from Instagram) 🤭

If you're looking for a forbidden romance, forced proximity through a drunken night that ends in marriage with some steamy small town cowboy / sherrif romance thrown in, THIS is gonna be the book for you!  🥵

Oh my DAYS, this book?! 💜 I loved Nash & Cece's story and I really enjoyed Wade & Ivy's story, but Cole & Ginger's story is officially my favourite! 🫶🏻 The banter, the slow(ish) burn, the friendship, the spice - ugh, everything! 🌶 It's up there as one of my favourite romance novels 🥹🩷 I was definitely blushing whilst I was reading this 🤭

I loved hearing from Mama Jo, Nash, Cece, Wade, Ivy, Liv & Papa Dean again, but the real star of the show was Mabel! 🎀 She's SUCH a wee sweetheart & adds a wee bit of innocence to the story.

The ending definitely made me a wee bit teary but warm & fuzzy inside when I was reading it 🥹

Riding the High will train your heart to hold the reins and just ride the high - this is so cheesy, I may delete it later 🤣 If you know, you know, Silver Pines friends 🤭

I loved everything about it (apart from Brent & Gemma 🫠 I'll say no more on those meanies) and highly, highly recommend it!

I didn’t think any silver pines couple could beat my love of Ivy and Wade, and yet, Ginger and Cole, take that crown!

Marriage of convenience is my favourite trope, but really I love marriage / engagement in any format, including, oops accidental wedding in Vegas oh no.
Plus it’s single parent with Mabel working hard to earn title of my favourite romance book child! So this really has every aspect I love and didn’t disappoint at all!

The dynamic between these two in the previous books really had set us up for something epic, but it was somehow even more than I could have expected? The tension, the banter and bickering and flirting, oh my word. Also the little bits of drama kept me hooked to find out what would happen and for certain characters to get their comeuppance too!

But, like with the previous books in this series, there are plenty of heartfelt, emotional moments to go alongside the drama and fun parts, plus, of course, it’s spicy as hell!

Okay, let me be clear, this book was five stars before I even new the title, because I have been invested in Ginger and Cole since book 1 of this series and I knew I was going to fall even more in love with them as the books went on.

I adore everything about this. The platonic relationship, the sassy flanter, the accidental marriage, the actual relationship that blossoms, and everything in between. I think the thing I love the most about Paisley's books, but especially this one, is the way the characters communicate like adults and there's no third act break up. It makes my heart so warm!

Ginger is so confident in her flirty-banter (flanter) with Cole until things get serious and become something more than platonic, and she's at risk of being hurt, or losing what they have entirely, and I just loved to see her gain confidence in being open with him off her own back without his prompting. But I also loved to see him push the uncomfortable conversations forward so they we're both on the same page.

Mable is such a key character in this book and I truly adore her. She's the sweetest bean and seeing her and Ginger build such a beautiful relationship was so cute.

There wasn't a single thing wrong with this. My favourite in the Silver Pines series so far, but I've been pining for them since book 1 so, naturally, that'll be the case for me ha.

Thank you to Evermore for an ARC of this book. I truly appreciate it.

Ah if it isn’t another ARC of my favourite cowboy series.

Okay so this is the story I have been WAITING for. Ginger and Cole’s banter through the other books is top notch and I was absolutely dying for their book especially after Wade and Ivy’s story. This book is like Paisley Hope crawled into my head and wrote everything she knew would make me happy. I devoured this in one sitting.

Ginger and Cole drunkenly get married in Vegas. To protect Cole’s newly elected sheriff position and to protect Ginger from disappointing her congressman father they decided to secretly stay married. Naturally Ginger becomes Cole’s live in nanny for his gorgeous daughter.

Because these characters were so well established through the previous books and the relationship between the characters was already there there were so many things Paisley Hope could do with this and for me she did it. It felt like the spice was tamer compared to CeCe & Nash and Wade & Ivy and I was here for it, it felt more related to the story than just being there for the sake of spice. Maybe I was into the characters more but I didn’t find this cringey (okay maybe apart from the end) like I did parts of the other book and let me tell you, I was invested.

Little bit less of a fan that Cole spends a lot of time thinking about his 🍆 when Ginger is trying to be serious with him but honestly not enough for me to knock off a star. I have loved all the books in this series and I want to re-read the previous books with new eyes. I can’t wait for the next book in this series 🤞🏼. At this point I would read anything Paisley Hope writes purely based on how her books make me feel.

This book made me love the single dad trope and that has NEVER happened.

Tropes
💗 Accidental Marriage
💗 Single Dad x Nanny
💗 Friends to Lovers
💗 Best Friend’s Brother

- Bath tub 🛁 scene 👌🏻

Thank you to NetGalley, Penguin, and Paisley Hope for allowing me to read this ARC for an honest review 🫶🏼

An easy friends to lovers, single dad romance here. Cole and Ginger are a great match and I liked to see how their friendship had begun and developed over the years too, with these two growing closer without crossing the line to more. They have good chemistry and a great emotional connection too, and I enjoyed seeing Cole accept Ginger into his and his daughter's lives. Plus, Ginger's relationship with Cole's daughter was really sweet! Throw in an accidental marriage and it's ticking plenty of boxes.

I received a free copy of this book. All views are my own.

Cole and Ginger for the win!

I loved the banter, the friends to lovers but loved each other since they started hanging out was so cute kinda trope. And the relationship between Ginger and Mabel is so wholesome, love that she loves Ginger more than her own mom.

There were some parts that felt a little bit dragging or a bit unnecessary, I did not really get the married in Vegas and let's stay married in secret vibe, but other than that I really enjoyed the rest of it!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for sending me an early copy in exchange for an honest review!

This review is for Riding the High by Paisley Hope which releases in the UK on the 24th April! Thanks so much to Netgalley and Penguin for giving me an eArc copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I have loved the other books in her Silver Pine series, and could not wait for Gingers book. And then to learn it was Cole and Gingers (to be expected to be fair) I needed it. Now I’ve read it, it’s lived up to every expectation I had of it and I read it in like one sitting…

The setting as per usual was perfect, and I loved seeing a new side of the Silver Pines ranch. It was so easy to read and the pacing was really good, it didn’t feel too fast or too slow and you were kept wanting more the whole time.

I loved Cole and Ginger’s dynamic, with the tension and the banter. Ginger is super feisty and loving, whereas you have Cole who is a hardworking and dedicated single dad. You see them blossom from a ‘friendship’ (no spoilers hehe) to a romance when they end up getting drunk married in Vegas. He’s just so caring and thoughtful it made my heart HURT.

It was actually a really fun read and was my favourite novel in this series. A few new characters were introduced which makes me think I have no idea whose book is next!! If you want an easy romance read, that features cowboys.. then this series is for you!!

This book is what you need for summer it’s amazing and I love it so much. Who doesn’t want to be forced to stay in a vegas marriage cos I do!

Spicy and text messages too

This gave me everything I want in a small town cowboy romance! So many of my favourite tropes and micro tropes to be found, the banter was great and the friends to lovers progression felt well paced. The content warnings page gave me high expectations for the spice levels which weren’t quite reached, but I absolutely wasn’t left wanting!
I haven’t read any of the previous books in the Silver Pines series, but I didn’t feel like I was missing too much background going into this as a standalone. I’ll be reading the rest, and looking forward to more to come!

The Ashby family return again and this time it is the turn of son Cole to find his happy ever after.
Cole and Ginger, his sister’s friend, have had a love /hate relationship since their first kiss when Ginger was 17 and Cole pushed her away because he thought she was his sisters friend and therefore off limits.
It’s true what they say about Las Vegas, except sometimes what happens there has consequences when those involved return home!
The tension between the two characters was very well written and although the attraction between them is obvious so are the boundary lines.
As Cole is appointed Sherrif he needs someone to help look after daughter Mabel, and so Ginger moves in..
This sizzling romance keeps you turning the pages. The author gets better and better.

Every book in the Silver Pines Ranch series has been such a treat so far, and Riding the High is no different!

I was so looking forward to Ginger and Cole’s story after all the crumbs in Training the Heart and Paisley Hope delivered beautifully.

A good old drunk wedding in Vegas of two people who have been pining for each other for years? Not telling anyone and planning to get a divorce but also adding some forced proximity as she moves in to be his daughter’s nanny for the summer? Sounds like and extremely good idea to me.

I loved Ginger’s character, so sassy and also so sweet, and Cole knows to appreciate her for both. There is only so much they can resist each other until they admit it’s all a lot more real than they pretended.

Cole and Ginger - this is a bit of fun! Paisley's third book in the Silver Pines Ranch series and this one is all about new Sheriff and single dad Cole, and his old friend and platonic bestie Ginger. It's a standalone but secondary characters are from the previous novels so it's well worth reading the first two.

It's all romance-reasons and a spontaneous Vegas wedding as they get into each other. It took me a while to warm to Cole, who has a funny way of being apparently unrequited for Ginger. It's alright with her though, so who am I to complain?

Ginger is great with Cole's daughter Mabel, and navigates his ex-wife. It's super-steamy 🌶🌶🌶; Cole doesn't hold back and that's fine with Ginger! There's a bit of drama, a ticking clock with Cole's Sheriff probation but basically a cowboy-ish, light-as-a-feather erotic romance. Enjoy!

Thank you Paisley Hope, and Random House UK for the ARC. Opinions are my own.
