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 😭

I am so grateful to have been approved for this ARC. I've falled in love with the Silver Pines Ranch series and couldn't wait to read Casie and Hadens story. I devoured this and stayed up through the night to finish it. I loved that this book had several tear jerking and emotional moments that really pulled on my heart strings.

Paisley Hope has really nailed it again and I cannot wait for the next installment.

4⭐️ I couldn’t put this one down! I really enjoyed it, such likable characters and a lovely story.
Cassie is a singer and needs a break so she goes to stay at her family’s ranch. That’s where she meets Haden.. whom at the beginning is grumpy with her at a stunt she pulled for her social media.
The more they get to know each other of course… the more they like each other.
Haden also helps at a horse rescue, aside from his ranch duties which I loved, but I wish we had more about the horses.
Their chemistry is amazing and we see each of them struggle with different issues and how their their relationship develops and the problem with being a rock star who travels and a ranch hand who has to stay put.
This is not a new story but the writing just pulled me in and having found family and wonderful characters made this extra special.

Thank you Net Galley for the arc 😍

I am utterly obsessed with this series! The Silver Pine Ranch series is quickly becoming my favourite cowboy romance series and Freeing the Wild exceeded all of my expectations!
I went into this book thinking that it wouldn’t live up to the other books in the series as the premise didn’t grip me the same but I really loved Haden and Cassie’s story.
This book made me feel every emotion. Cassie’s struggles with anxiety was so well written and her healing journey was beautiful to read. Haden was the calm to her storm and seeing their relationship blossom had me kicking and squealing.
Ginger and Cole are still my favourite couple in the series (nothing tops a single dad romance for me) but Haden and Cassie are a close second!
I’m so excited for the next book in the series but not ready to say goodbye to all of these characters! The found family vibes make reading about these characters feel like coming home

This book was so cute. As a big fantasy reader sometimes I need a contemporary love story to cleanse my soul and bring my down to Earth.

I adore a good cowboy romance and the fact this has the country music star element aswell make me kick my legs a squeal!

This is the 4th book in the series. I really loved Cassie and Hayden’s relationship. One night flings that turn into more are something that so many people can really connect with and I love that. How they stick together through thick and thin!

Paisley did and amazing job at covering sensitive subjects with grace and love. It’s was super inspiring and I loved seeing the darker side the the musical industry.

I am so excited for book 5!!

Arc - Freeing the Wild

6th November - release date!

Cassie ❤️ Haden
⭐⭐⭐⭐.5🌶️🌶️🌶️

🤠 Nicknames - Cowboy & Princess
"I shudder, realizing I don’t even hate being called Princess when his face is between my thighs."
🎶 Cowboy X Country Singer
🤠 Forced Proximity
🎶 Found Family
🤠 One night stand
🎶 Forbidden Romance

This book ❤️ My heart ❤️ I couldn't put this down from early on. Both characters are so easy to get attached to. Haden is like a big teddy bear, wrapped up in a rugged cowboy package - one who's passion is rehabilitaing horses who have been treated poorly. A proper cinnamon roll MMC. SWOON. Cassie, Ivy's sister, is a sassy yet sensitive FMC, and her character really grew on me as she developed throughout.

Their story starts with a steamy one night in Hayden's truck, with Haden in the dark as to who Cassie's sister is, and the lust and feelings between them grows stronger as the book progresses. Wade stating that Cassie is off limits doesn't stop this pair from falling for each other - thank goodness!

As ever with Paisley Hope, the spice was spicy! Think "good girl", "beg me" (from both parties), "let me come", crawling, showers and trucks! You can practically feel the tension between them jumping off the page!

It was great seeing Ivy and Cassie's mum doing well living at Silver Pines, and seeing them characters from the first three books at latest stages in they're relationships (think weddings and babies!) I'm already impatient for Olivia and Asher's story!

Thank you so much to Paisley Hope, Netgalley and Random House for giving me the chance to ARC read this. I can't wait for the release to add a copy to my shelves - I hope The Works will be doing more pretty edges!

I shudder, realizing I don’t even hate being called Princess when his face is between my thighs.

Another chapter in the series. Still as sexy and compelling as the previous 3 books. Hayden the ranch first hand meets Cassie, hooking up but not knowing she's Ivy's sister. Visiting the ranch for a weekend it's a one off.
Returning to the ranch months later after a traumatic incident whilst playing a music festival, the attraction is still there.
Torn between staying at the ranch and musical inspiration and the career visibility of touring Cassie reassess her choices.
Will they lead her back to Hayden and family?

Another stunning book from Paisley Hope! Great balance of romance and character growth. You feel for the characters and root for them every step of the way.

This is the 4th instalment in the silver pines ranch series, and it follows Cassie and Haden. Cassie is Ivy's little sister, and Haden is the lead ranch hand at Silver Pines. Cassie winds up at the ranch after tragedy strikes during her singing tour. I absolutely adored this book. I love Paisley's writing, and it was so good, perfect for this book. The relationship between Cassie and Haden was just perfect. I loved their chemistry, and the build-up for their relationship was so so so good. I think they were so perfect for each other. They complemented each other so well, and they were just what each other needed. I love that Cassie found exactly what she was looking for at the ranch. The struggles that she faces were so well written and dealt with in a good way. I love how easily she was accepted by the ranch, and I love her relationship with the Not angels.

Loved this so much. This series has been one of my absolute favourites. Cassie and Haden are thrown back together after a one night stand and their chemistry and story is addictive. Absolutely recommend!

I loved this story and didn’t want it to end.

Cassie and Haden have a one night stand together. Afterwards Cassie then leaves without a trace.

Several months pass and Cassie needs to recuperate after having a hard time when there’s an accident at one of the shows and some one dies, after she tries to do shows and has a bad panic attack where she gets help from another band manager she decides enough is enough and goes back to where she has family around which concidently means she’s gets to see Haden again and hopefully reconnect what they had before.

Will she be able to find her way through her what has happened and see a future with Haden?

Freeing the Wild by Paisley Hope
🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Thank you to @netgalley for the ARC of this one. I read the rest of the series this month and couldn’t wait to get my hands on this.

I devoured this one. Cassie is a country music star, Haden is a ranch hand, and the two of them together? Absolute fire. After a chance meeting, they had a one-night stand so good she literally wrote a song about him 👀), but then she ghosted him. Fast forward to now, and when they cross paths again it’s all tension, chemistry, and Strip UNO 😉

Haden calling her princess just did me in. I cried like a baby at parts of this book. Haden and Cassie are true kindred spirits. Both have had people leave and find it hard to trust . He’s got that hardworking cowboy energy with a heart of gold. She’s the famous star who’s been going through the motions and burying how she really feels. This book is a total slow burn, but worth every page.

It’s got all the cowboy romance goodness I love—banter, heat and lots of heart. I was rooting for them the whole way through.

If you’re into cowboys, second chances, and a little bit of drama mixed with your swoon, this one’s for you.

5 stars!
This was my first book by Paisley Hope and will definitely not be my last.
I did not feel as though I missed out on not having read the first two books in the series but I am keen to go back and read them.

Freeing the Wild follows Cassie a country singer and Hayden a ranch hand as they spend one night together with the idea they will never see each other again. However, all does not go as planned and they are thrown back together. This story has a lot of depth and the chemistry between the two main characters jumps off the page.

Perfect for fans of small-town love stories and cowboy romances.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC of this book in return for an honest review.

Another fab book in this series!

In this visit to Silver Pines, we focus on Cassie, Ivy's sister, and Haden, the head ranch hand!

It's insta lust on this one, but don't worry if that isn't your thing because things are never smooth sailing, things happen and we do still get the angst and tension that I love so much!

I think this one was definitely more emotional than the others as the characters deal with some very traumatic events. The journey to heal from their own issues was heart-warming.

Cassie comes across as a bit shallow at first, but that's just the mask she wears, I love getting to know the real her underneath! Haden had my heart from the start. He's just the sweetest, but with a dirty mouth 🥵

The spicier scenes are 👌 and the chemistry between them is 🔥

Returning to Silver Pines is always like visiting a place you love and catching up with the characters you've missed, I'm excited for the next book, but I'm also sad that it will be the last!

Thank you for the arc for my honest review 🫶

Emotional country singer meets hot cowboy

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC.

I have to admit that Cassie and Haden's story didn't really appeal to me at first. But I shouldn't have doubted Paisley and her cowboys!

Coming back to Silver Pine Ranch was like coming home not only for me, but for Cassie as well. Paisley sucked me right back in and it just all felt so right.

In between the hot aspects of the story (these two really set the pages on fire!) we have a story about family bonding and healing ❤️‍🩹

Cassie is a country singer who is on her way to becoming a real celebrity. Meanwhile, she suffers from panic attacks and has a hard time dealing with certain events. Nevertheless. Cassie is a witty and sharp-tongued character who you grow to love over time.

Hayden's job at the ranch is important, but the wild country singer makes more than his heart beat faster. He is protective and will do anything to help Cassie despite the fierce attraction and possible consequences.

“Freeing the Wild” was a surprising highlight for me and I'm already very hyped for the final book of the series!
