4.5✨
I love and adore Paisley Hope books!! She’s such an amazing writer and always put the best tropes into these book. 😍

In this book we follow Ivy young sister Cassis a singer/songwriter who has taken a little break to come and meet her niece. While there she’s meets a rugged, handsome cowboy Haden while sitting onto of a horse who isn’t tamed enough and drops her like a sack of rice 😂 all to get a quick few seconds video to post on her social media page.

I really enjoy reading about Cassis and Haden story Paisley show that just because you have a talented and you do well doesn’t mean you have to follow that dream if it doesn’t make you happy.
Overall this was another amazing read and can’t wait for the 5th book!! 😍

Thank you NetGalley and Penguin for the arc 🥰

In my eyes Paisley Hope can do no wrong

No matter the sub genre, I love her books

I could not get enough of this book, and cannot wait to DEVOUR the next book in the series

The characters, the plot, everything *chef's kiss*

I think this might be my favourite book of silver pines yet! They just keep getting better and better.

Freeing the Wild had me gripped from the very first page. Cassie’s story was so raw, watching her navigate grief, fame, and figuring out where she truly belongs hit me in my feelings!

We are also treated to Haden 😍 Haden the quiet, rugged cowboy who cares for rescue horses and somehow manages to heal Cassie’s heart (and also mine 🤭)

The chemistry between them is just perfection and the spice?! As always is HOT!

Paisley Hope absolutely nailed it with this one 🩷

I was a little worried about the beginning of this book. There was something about Cassie, I'm not always the biggest fan of singer protagonist. However, she really did grow on me.
This was a really nice mix of sweet and spice. Both Cassie and Hayden having their own journeys and also growing together.
Hayden was such a sweetheart, so adorable with Cassie. Also who doesn't love a man who loves animals.
It was a fun read, definitely a great continuation of the series!

Cassie & Haden are officially my favourite couple of Paisley's - I love their personalities, how they care for each other, and how they came to be.
Following their story, I was at first a little apprehensive as I struggled to connect with Cassie, but seeing her struggles with anxiety, and Haden's struggles with his family, it all clicked into place. I was able to relate so hard to these characters - I too have told my boyfriend that "I don't lose". That Uno scene is absolute perfection.

The book overall felt like it dragged slightly, but was otherwise perfect - especially the ending. She used only the good notes <3

4.5 stars rounded up to 5

This is my favourite book of the series. I wasn’t sure before I read this book as I wanted a book for other characters first. But I was delightfully surprised.

I loved Cassie and Hayden, but I also loved their separate stories. I thought their separate journeys had been given as much importance as the love story and I was so invested. I was particularly invested in Cassie’s story, her struggles and her career goals.

Hayden is my favourite MMC of this series, which surprised me!

My only wish is that we saw more of Cassie’s and I y’s relationship as it wasn’t explored in Ivy’s book.

I would 100% recommend this book as well as the series. I am so excited for the next book!

I absolutely LOVED this book. Paisley Hope can do no wrong in my opinion! Cannot wait to get more books from her in the future!

oh my god

after reading Cole and Ginger's book I was so sure this series couldn't get any better because those two were absolutely perfect, but I've been proved wrong, because this book was everything.

a huge huge thank you to Penguin RandomHouse UK for the e-arc. I loved it and I'm so happy I got the chance to read this one early!

I loved that we went back to the ranch for this one, because silver pines ranch is truly a happy place that warms your heart. Even though Cassie is there to look for temporary pause in her busy schedule, you can notice from the first moments, that she truly feels better there. I would give so much to spend few weeks in a place like silver pines ranch.

Cassie's and Halden's chemistry was strong from the start, and it absolutely pulled me in with them. And imo this was the hottest book in the series. Those two just went from zero to flames immediately with each other. Absolutely perfect!! Snowed in and strip Uno were 6/5!!

Their love story was also the cutest, and I'm so happy they found each other to open up themselves. I loved that while the other helped to come terms with what would perfect life for them be, they at the end took that step not because someone said so, but because they wanted. And I love how cute their happily ever after was.

Ohhh and that sneak peak for the last books couple makes me want to read it immediately!!

This was perfect. 5 stars. Loved it.

Oh wow, this book exceeded ALL of the expectations and I can’t wait for it to come out so I can buy the physical copy. The chemistry, the build - I could scream !!

This is the fourth book in the Silver Pines series, although works perfectly well as a standalone. These books are spicy. In fact I think this one might be the spiciest of them all, which is not usually my bag, but I am an absolute sucker for a cowboy romance and I am also completely on board with a book which has a country Spotify playlist to accompany it.
Cassie is a singer, who visits her sister at Silver Pines, and has a very steamy encounter with cowboy (actually horse trainer) Hayden before going back on tour. When a disaster befalls her she takes some time out and returns to the ranch, only to fall under his spell completely. Problem is, she’s supposed to become the new big star, and his boss is married to Cassie’s sister so she’s off limits.
Probably not one to read in public especially if you are prone to blushing, but these books always have a sweet, rather traditional vibe underneath the explicit sex scenes! I like the way the women have power despite the traditions, and this is a ranch I’d love to visit.
Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC

I wasn't sure if I was going to love this one because, personally, I can find singers as main characters to be extremely awkward to read about, but that didn't happen here. The little glimpses of Haden we've had so far did not prepare me for how great he was going to be, his backstory is not the happiest but the way he works with animals is absolutely lovely and how he uses that to help our FMC was also beautiful. Cassie is someone we hadn't seen until this book, so I was a little worried about her feeling like an imposter, but she was great. It was actually nice to have someone outside of the prominent gang come into the fold; she was like a breath of fresh air despite her trauma being heartbreaking. This was such a perfect time to read this book, the snow and the ranch giving such a cosy feel as we head into the cooler months.

I always feel super safe coming into Paisley's books because she leaves me grinning like a giddy idiot, and this was no exception. It has some of my favourite tropes here, second chance romance and forced proximity with shared healing and also horses, which I am quickly learning is something I love to see in a book. Paisley, you have created a cowboy lover in me. The lovely thing about these books is that you see all your favourite characters, and it really does have that feel of coming home. If you like a found family trope, then you will love these books because they feel like your found family.

Paisley is an autobuy author for me now so I cannot WAIT for the next book because I gotta get to know Asher IMMEDIATELY.

Really enjoyed this one! Paisley is one of my auto-buy authors and this book did not disappoint! The discussion of mental health was handled well on my opinion. I loved the way Haden supported her throughout the book, from the very beginning.

This is my favourite one yet - they keep getting better! Cassie is incredibly likeable and watching her relationship with Haden blossom is like a warm hug. Fingers crossed for the next one coming soon!

Cassie & Haden’s story consumed me! I have to say I think this is my favourite out of the Silver Pines series, and I’m so happy I got to read this early🥹(Thanks Paisley Hope and Net Galley for the ARC).
I loved their story, and the things the book touched on were done with respect and care as well. The characters felt like they had a personality which sometimes doesn’t happen in romance novels🫣I loved the depth between both characters and hearing their backstories and struggles rather than them being flat and two dimensional. Paisley Hope does such an incredible job of writing and I have enjoyed the Silver Pines series so much!!!!

Silver pines truly has stole my heart!
Overall this series has been my holy grail

Out of everyone Cole Ashby stole my heart so following after riding the high this was always going to be tough!

Cassie and Haden a singer songwriter and a good old rancher the love story we didn’t know we needed!
One thing I love about this series is how the books are so well intertwined setting you up for the next book!

Cassie at first was a character I didn’t think I would enjoy out of all of the FMC’s I struggled to connect with her…at first.
After watching her character and story develop I realised how she went from being nothing to everything! Watching her change though out this book was beautiful dealing with so many struggles that I know others out there also face and watching her become her true self was crucial to this story.

As a cowboy romance goes this one couldn’t have been read at a better time and going into the winter months when you need that cowboy fix this is it!
Did somebody say snowed in?
This book made me have all the cosy feels that I crave for at this time of year the beautiful ranch in the snow, cosy cabin in front of a fire! Yes please
This was my favourite part of the book and had me kicking my feet. And the spice well it’s definitely spicing

Haden is as we know a top rancher and a stunning one at that but his story went so much deeper than that. His home life and background really tugged at my heart strings and the pressures and pain he feels of suffering with abandonment issue broke my heart!
It was an emotional roller coaster I was happy to be on along side him! The passionate caring side he has and his love for animals really make this cowboy make a girl weak at the knees. And who doesn’t want an overprotective cowboy in their life?

Just like every other book you still get the love of all the other characters we have met along the way and the family dynamic of the bustling big house and Ashby clan! I’ve quickly become attached to the family and it’s become a place of comfort entering the silver pines world each time.

Over all this story was a comfort and a joy to read but in the world of silver pines thanks to paisley for making these men be the bar all others need to meet!

Freeing the Wild is a heartfelt and steamy cowboy romance set at Silver Pines Ranch. Cassie, a rising country star recovering from trauma, finds herself back in her hometown where she reconnects with Haden, a kind and rugged ranch hand. Their chemistry is instant and the mix of healing, hope, and romance makes this a really engaging read.

I loved Cassie’s journey of finding her strength again and how supportive Haden was without taking over her story. The setting and side characters add a lot of warmth too. The romance does move quickly, which won’t be everyone’s favorite, but once it gets going, it’s emotional and satisfying.

A sweet, sexy, and uplifting small-town romance that leaves you smiling.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Freeing the Wild (Silver Pines Bk4)

Sometimes you just need to curl up with a really good romance book and this was definitely it.

I loved the story of Cassie and Haden. They were both really sweet and the banter between them was really fun.

If you are looking for a small town/cowboy romance that will keep you hooked this is the book for you.

Thank you to NetGalley, Paisley Hope and Random House UK, Cornerstone and Penguin for this ARC

I really enjoyed this book. Cassie and Haden are by far my favourite couple of the series.

The way their relationship started early on and kept you on tenterhooks throughout was really fun.

The spice was not as spicy as usual for this series but the pacing of it was a little different so that may be what affected it most. It didn’t let it down though cos it’s a great book nonetheless!

At the risk of repeating myself (because I’ve said it for every book in this series I think), I just love what Paisley Hope does here. This is just an amazing small town / cowboy (well ranchers technically apparently) romance series, where each book has characters that you can’t help but love. I just knew going into it that it would be a great book, and it was. No better feeling than the satisfaction of a book delivering you all the happiness you expected.

Cassie and Haden’s first meeting is all banter and tension, but when they later reconnect when Cassie is in a vulnerable and difficult place, and they try to stay away from each other, but they really can’t fight it. All that tension is still there, but at the same time they learn to be each other’s safe place, where they can trust and be trusted, and it grows into so much more.

there is just something about being back at silver pines ranch that I love. Haden is so caring and understanding of what Cassie wants to do and I love that she's a country singer. This book wasn't all just about being on a ranch and cowboy life and I loved that!
The 7 year fast forward was also so needed and I'm just so glad they get their happy ending.
also I am not ready for there to be only one more book left 😭
