I'm so invested in Silver Pines and let me tell you I squealed when I got the chance to read this!

I love Paisley Hope's writing. I love the setting, I love the stories, I love the spice, I love the dual POV.

Admittedly Cole and Ginger are not my favourite (Cece & Nash 4ever) but Mabel and the relationship she develops with Ginger is the CUTEST thing ever. What I felt was missing from this book was interaction with the rest of the Silver Pines family. I get it's a secret marriage and you don't want to raise suspicion but I would have liked to have seen more family dinners and get togethers and MORE SANGRIA NIGHTS please and thank you.

All that said, Paisley Hope can do no wrong and Cole is a number 1 law daddy.

Thank you Penguin Random House 🫡

Firstly, thank you so much for letting me read Riding the High.
It was so lovely going back to silver pines. This time with Ginger and cole.
Friends to lovers, single dad, close proximity, secret wedding. All the fantastic things we love to read.
I couldn't get enough, I didn't want the story to end. Fingers crossed there will be another book to follow one day.

I ATE THIS UP.

Cole Ashby is just DELICIOUS. I was so invested in him and his relationship with Ginger and had such a wonderful time.

I want more!

Thank you very much for the eARC.

Well, Paisley has done it again!! Every book she writes, she smashes it out of the park!

I'm obsessed with Ginger and Cole. These two burn 🔥 🥵 the tension between them, and the chemistry they have are both off the charts!
If people ask about my standards, I will point them towards men like Cole Weston Ashby because this man was delicious!!
Ginger is fantastic, I would like to be friends with her for sure! I loved her relationship with Mabel, which was adorable!
I honestly couldn't put this book down! I need more Paisley!!

A huge thanks to Penguin Random House UK for sending me this eARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest opinion.

I can't tell you how excited I was for this book and it didn't disappoint!
Continuing this series felt like coming home. Even though the books can be read as standalones, I'd highly recommend reading them all because you'll feel much more connected to the characters.
I loved the friendship Ginger and Cole had and continued to have. The way they supported and were there for each other was incredible. I enjoyed the relationship between Ginger and Mabel. The way they saw themselves as a team was very sweet and heartwarming. The communication between Cole and Ginger was very well-written. I always enjoy when characters can say what they mean without unnecessary drama or miscommunication.
And then there was the spice🥵🥵🥵I had no idea this series could even get any spicier after Training the Heart, but I was proven wrong because that was HOT and I mean the DO NOT EVER READ THIS IN PUBLIC kind of hot😂

Overall, this was exactly what I've been waiting for 😍 That being said, I need Liv and Asher to get a book because you can't tell me that there isn't something going on between the two 😉

The scream I scrumpt when I got my ARC email notification!

Paisley my girl, you have done it again!

What an absolute banger of a read! Literally loved every moment of it. It wasn’t too long ago that I was in the Silver Pines world but this book brought me back those original HTR vibes that I loved so so much.

The secret pining, the banter, the forbidden attraction, the tension, it all made me so damn giddy.

Y’all ain’t ready for Mr. Cole Ashby, the man had me flustered. And Ginger, you gotta love a sassy FMC! The sweet family moments with Mabel made my heart so warm as well 🥹

This was my favourite in the series by far.
Cole & Ginger had my whole heart. They’re both fiery, sarcastic, passionate and together? They are a POWER COUPLE.
The way Cole is with Mabes had my heart melting! The single dad trope will do it for me every time. And then add Ginger into the equation and you get the most perfect family.
The spicy scenes in this book were phenomenal, I was HOT!!
Paisley Hope is an auto buy author for me, she is incredible.

they are everything!!!!! Ahhhhh!!
Firstly, thank you so so much for approving my request for this arc, you can’t believe how happy and grateful I am for it.

I binged this, possibly digested it too fast but my lord I couldn’t put this down. I do not regret anything - I will be rereading this just for the sake of how good it was. they are definitely my fave couple in the series as of right now…but let’s me honest I’ve said this after every couple of each book😂😭

the tension??? The build up?? Oh my lord. If I had a 1000 fans next to me it wouldn’t be able to cool me down with how HOT this was. I loved the banter, the marriage (new fave trope btw) and everything about this was 5 stars. I WANT TO READ IT AGAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME.

📚Book Review📚

#adprproduct

I want to thank NetGalley for approving me for an ARC of this book. I've been a fan of the Silver Pines series from the start and was excited to read Cole and Gingers story.

Well I think Cole might be my favourite man of the series. To steal a line from my friend @bex_boys_and_books, it was all his Coleness that made me melt 🤭.

Ginger was her usual fiery self but her relationship with Mabel was the icing on the cake. Seeing the two grow closer was heartwarming.

As usual we got to catch up with the rest of the family and they delivered on the cracking one liners, hilarious group chats and sound advice.

🌟🌟🌟🌟✨

Riding the High takes you back to Laurel Creek, this time to explore the story of Cole Ashby. If you've read the previous books in this Silver Pines series you'll already know the close friendship between Cole and his little sister's best friend Ginger Danforth. But their constant to and fro teasing and banter is a cover for their feelings for one another, which comes to a head during a weekend in Vegas when the pair become married after a wild night that culminates in a round of truth or dare.

Cole has been working steadily towards his goal of being Sheriff and Ginger's congressman father is close to re-election, so the two newlyweds decide to keep their marriage a secret until things have settled down and then seek an annulment. But with close proximity the sparks begin to fly and both are left wondering if the marriage is what they really want after all. Once again the friendships and close family ties are a highlight of the book for me, but you can also expect a ton of spice so be forewarned. He may not be a cowboy, but he's a sheriff and he has the cuffs to prove it!

I think this is honestly the favourite of the series for me. It was funny, whitty and wholesome. I loved the banter between the characters and the back story and history they had. Easy read that flowed so well.

Riding the High is the third book in the Silver Pine series.
Cole is appointed sheriff of Laurel Creek, now as a single parent to 8 year old Mable he is determined to do the best he can in both these aspects of his life. Ginger is best friends with the sister of his best friend so has been in his life for a long time, both attracted to each other but not acting on the attraction both worried it will harm their relationship with their friends.
A weekend in Vegas with friends leads to them getting married whilst under the influence of a lot of alcohol.
Deciding to stay together for 90 days after which they can obtain a divorce Ginger becomes Mable’s nanny, but living together they develop a real closeness which leads to them sleeping together with lots of passion with very steamy descriptive scenes.
This is a fun lighthearted story, great characters and dialogue that is emotional and deep and with some scenes that have bad characters getting their comeuppance which is very satisfying.

If you like smutty small town romances with interconnected characters then Paisley’s books are right up your street! Definitely can compare her to Elsie silver if you like her books. I actually really enjoyed the concept of a what happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in vegas romance, with accidental marriage! I loved Ginger in the first 2 books, and to see her find happiness with Cole and Mabel was lovely. Single dad Cole was a doting father (and husband) and the vibes are good all round. I’m glad we didn’t have a tab otherwise that would’ve annoyed me!

I was super excited for this one after getting glimpses of Cole & Ginger in previous books - and it did not disappoint! Their banter, flirting, and fleeting gazes grew into a perfect arrangement and perfect chemistry that left me yearning for more each time. I absolutely adore the continued feeling of 'found family' throughout the book and series,
Paisley's writing is fun, modern and easy to read - I really enjoy seeing glimpses of text conversations between the characters and references to modern music/events. Cannot wait to continue the Silver Pines series!

I’ve been waiting for this book since the first one 🤭 and I think the build up made it even better. Cole Weston will have my heart forever. Amazing series and an amazing book

“It’s always been you, Ginger. And I have no clue what to do about that. Besides maybe keep you.”

‘Her heart is wild. Only he can capture it.’

Paisley ma’am I continue to salute 🫡🫡 your sparkly, spicy and swoon worthy storytelling!

Riding the High is effervescent and authentic, cheeky and sincere with such a big heart and IM HERE FOR IT

TYSM to Paisley, Random House UK and NetGalley for e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I ADORED THIS BOOK WITH MY WHOLE CHEST.

The secret pining, the fresh banter, the heartwarming friendship, forced proximity and the SPICY 🌶️ were an electric mix that gave all the best friends to lovers energy that I didn’t know I needed.

Cole and Ginger are lightning ⚡️ in a bottle.

They are sincere and wild, she is the impulsive to his orderly and I loved every moment of them unravelling each other as forever best friends.

Honourable mentions are:

🎲 Law Daddy x Vixen
🎲 Truth or Dare
🎲 “Our team. Me, you and Ginger.”
🎲 Mama Jo remains an Icon: ‘Break hearts, not the law.’
🎲 “Favour?”
🎲 The Mouth on this Man: Yes Sir 🫡

Spicy mentions 🌶️🌶️🌶️ are:

⛓️‍💥”Now, I want to taste my wife.”
⛓️‍💥 “My dirty husband likes to be fucked and toyed with?”
⛓️‍💥 “Good wives swallow every last drop. Understand?”

Riding the High is wild and true, sweet and sincere with a beautiful friendship that grows into a soul love. I adored the blossoming friendship and love between Ginger and sweet Mabel!

Side note: Imma campaign for a Papa Dean origin story. That man has LIVED (and would have the stories to prove it 😏😂)

Favourite lines are:

“You-and-me close, Vixen, you-and-me close.”

“You can come when you admit it, baby. Admit we’re not just friends, admit this is something more. I dare you.”

‘Because, right now, I’m just riding this high. And fuck, maybe getting her to fall for me is exactly what I’m trying to do.’

Sweet, sassy and swoony - easy 5 stars 🌟

Thank you to NetGalley, Random House UK and author Paisley Hope for the ARC of Riding the High, the third book in the Silver Pines series.

This has absolutely been my favourite book in this series so far. Ginger and Cole’s romance from childhood friends to lovers had my heart singing the whole time. I enjoyed that this book saw us leave Silver Pines for a bit for Cece and Nash’s bachelor/bachelorette party’s. Even though these books are definitely on the more spicy side the family aspect that these books portray offer a nice contrast to that fact. I enjoyed getting to know Cole’s daughter Mabel a little more too.

The spice did not disappoint as with all of Paisley Hope’s books. If you love a spicy cowboy romance and want to cosy up with a book you will definitely fall in love with these characters. Paisley Hope is a new autobuy/read author for me and I can’t wait to read more.

I waited eagerly for this and I loved it so much. A single dad and county sheriff who is both sweet and spicy? What more could you ask for? Cole and Ginger’s relationship was explored perfectly and I would definitely recommend picking this up!

4.75⭐️ Thank you Netgalley and Hope for this arc in exchange for an honest review!
Each book in the Silver Pines Ranch book keeps getting better and better!

I had been waiting what seems an age for Cole x Ginger's story. I ate it up and I was constantly holding in my giddiness throughout the story!
Their dynamic is so good, two people who will poke fun at each other 24/7, but when needed are always there for one another. I loved getting to see these two explore the tension & chemistry that has been building between them for YEARS. There is so much passion, desire, love, and trust in their relationship, its so so good. The smut in this is so well-done too and matches these characters so well!!
I love Cole Ashby but the main star of this book is Ginger. She is so fiery and has the best personality.

Loved the B99 references! Now I need to rewatch the show😉

💜single dad
💜Sheriff x Teacher (aka temporary nanny)
💜small town
💜“My wife”
💜accidental wedding in vegas
💜close proximity

Paisley’s writing style makes it easy to get in to her work, and this one was no exception. I felt like I was right there in Kentucky enjoying the warm summer sunshine, despite living in the miserable and grey UK.

I have no clue who to expect next!

Thank you to the publishers and Netgalley for approving me to read this, I’ve been so blessed to read all 3 books before the release date. I’m rating this 4.5 stars, it was perfection.

This may be my favourite one, I’ve been waiting on Cole’s story eagerly. Ginger and Cole are a friends to lovers vibe with an unexpected wedding throwing them straight into an intense situation. This story oozes chemistry and the spice was too good. Mabel, Cole’s young daughter adds such a cute and wholesome aspect to the story.

There’s some major bumps in the road for the pair and how they will navigate remaining friends while trying to deny their connection. Also, that epilogue was everything!

Highly recommend every book in this series, but I’m thinking for sure this may be my favourite. Paisley Hope will definitely always be an auto-read author.
