I love an interconnected stand-alone series. But better yet, I especially love it if it’s about cowboys. I am very attached to the Silver Pines series, Paisley Hope has created such a wholesome little community in these books. I have absolutely adored reading everyone’s love story.

Haden and Cassie were so cute. I absolutely loved their banter, and Cassie was so sassy. The denial from the two of them about their very obvious feelings for each other was torturous- it was such an emotional slow burn.

While I always love the relationships, the family dynamics also always get me in this series. I swear watching Haden struggle with his relationship with his father and the connection he has with Penny is so tender and emotional.

If you love cowboys, music, a community who ALWAYS shows up for each other and a caramel corn- I’d highly recommend this book!

Just when I thought this series couldn’t get any better I am proven so wrong!!
This book was absolutely perfect!
Haden and Cassie’s story was just so beautiful to read, I absolutely loved Haden and how caring and patient he was and loved the portrayal of anxiety/panic attacks from Cassie and the way she handled herself and worked to overcome it!

I can’t wait for everyone to be able to experience this story!! Thank you NetGalley and Paisley Hope for the chance to read this eARC! It was amazing

4.5 stars, this series just keeps getting better, and it's so hard for me to pick a favourite book!

Cassie is an upcoming country singer, and she has a one night stand with Haden while at the ranch, visiting her sister Ivy and then leaves.
Tragedy strikes a few months later at a concert she perfoms at, and she comes back to Silver Pines to regroup and to help heal.

She's now back in close proximity with Haden, and he wants to help her find herself again.
Haden was so sweet and caring and just wanted to help Cassie.

Cassie was such a strong character, and I really liked how Paisley Hope portrayed her PTSD and anxiety. It was done really well.

I really loved how their relationship developed throughout the book. Loved seeing all the characters from the previous books, all so involved in the story and seeing the relationship, develop more.

I highly recommended this series!
Thank you so much to Netgalley and Penguin for sending me an arc of the book!

Paisley Hope does it again, she really does not know how to write a bad book.. instant 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

She writes about ptsd and anxiety in the perfect way that is comforting to anyone who is also struggling with these.

Cassie's storyline of finding herself and being who she wants to be rather than being the person other people want her to be is written so powerfully.

And of course, the love story between Haden and Cassie is so beautiful.

Can't wait for the next book in the series!

Freeing the Wild by @authorpaisleyhope
ARC Review
Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶

Tropes:
🌸 One night in his truck 🥵
🌸 Cowboy / Singer-Songwriter
🌸 Snowed in / One Bed
🌸 Anxiety Rep
🌸 Found Family
🌸 She Moves in Next Door

Paisley Hope has done it again, and I’ve fallen for yet another cowboy with a dirty mouth 😆.

Freeing the Wild is book 4 in the Silver Pines series, and this time the story follows Ivy's sister Cassie—a rising singer-songwriter—and Hayden, a ranch worker who works for Wade.

Cassie and Hayden's chemistry was off the charts from the start! While visiting Ivy at the ranch, Cassie ends up having a steamy hook-up with Hayden in his truck 🥵. They part ways, but a few months later, due to an unfortunate accident, Cassie agrees to stay at the ranch for a while… and ends up living next door to Hayden! Of course, they can’t keep their hands off each other for very long.

Both characters experience a lot of growth in this book—Cassie struggles with extreme anxiety, and Hayden has a difficult relationship with his dad. I truly believe this couple could stand the test of time. They’re so supportive of one another, and their love shines through the pages.

We also get to see our favorite couples from the previous books! Cassie is welcomed into the group with open arms and immediately invited to the girls’ Sangria Sundays—I’m actually so jealous of these fictional characters, I want an invite 😆.

Overall, this was another great addition to the series. I devoured the crumbs Paisley left for us about Olivia and Asher. I’m ridiculously excited for the next book—but also a little sad that it’s coming to an end.

Thank you to @netgalley and @authorpaisleyhope for a copy to review—I thoroughly enjoyed it ❤️

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC of Freeing the Wild. I loved Cassie & Haden’s story. Men written by Paisley Hope really are something else!

Only mild spoilers ahead….

I loved the fact that Cassie had her own music career & I thought Paisley had put a really interesting spin on it. We still got to interact with other favourite characters that we love, Wade, Ivy, Cole, Ginger etc. which was brilliant.

The ending was so sweet, we love a HEA! I did skim read through a few bits of the smut though, I felt like if I heard her lady parts being called a c**t one more time… 🫠

We love big gestures, and this was everything… the fact that it was Cassie & Haden was in the crowd, I could have cried along with them. Loved it!

We're brought to book 4 in the Silver Pines series by Paisley Hope.

What a ride! I have loved each book and couple but this one is a little different as we get the first couple who is not an Ashby! haha

In this book, we get Haden, a rancher who works for the Ashby clan, and Cassie, Ivy's sister and Wade Ashby's sister-in-law.
Haden has not had an easy life and coincidentally neither has Cassie, despite it seeming that way on the surface. When Cassie's mental health needs a break from the limelight, she tucks tail and stays at the ranch. What she's not expecting is to be living next door to Haden- her memorable one night stand from months before!

I loved their chemistry right off the bat and the forced proximity as well as banter added to the steamy tension, the hilarity and the heartfelt moments!

I loved this addition and can't wait for what's next in this series!

Freeing the Wild is book 4 in Paisley Hope's steamy smalltown cowboy romance series, Silver Pines Ranch. Cassie is an up-and-coming country music star who, after a tragic accident, retreats to her family's ranch in order to heal and fall back in love with music. Haden, the ranch's senior hand, is forbidden from making a move on her, but little does his boss know, last time she rolled into town they had a steamy night in his truck that he just can't stop thinking about...

This book, although it includes Paisley Hope's signature sprinkling of spice, is surprisingly sweet and cosy. Cassie's journey is one of healing, and I really appreciated the sensitive way her mental health was addressed, as well as her mother's past with alcoholism and Haden's abandonment issues.

Considering we're immediately thrown into Haden & Cassie's steamy one night stand, I enjoyed the delicious slowburn that followed. That being said, I didn't find this book quite as engaging as its predecessor. There was very little keeping Haden and Cassie apart. Their chemistry was off the charts from their very first encounter and their connection was undeniable. The 'forbidden romance' element fell flat as there was no real conflict or obstacle keeping them apart. Her rising career and upcoming tour was problematic, but they definitely could have made it work.

Nevertheless, the book was uplifting, emotional, and sweet. It was an entertaining, slow-paced read that wasn't quite as gripping as I hoped for.

ARC - Book 4 in the Silver Pine Ranch Series, Great catching up with previous characters, gives it so much more depth, but could be read as a standalone (you're seriously missing out on some magic if you do this).

Just when I thought i couldn't love this Ranch, the family and it's natural extension of people who are welcomed with open arms and delicious food, Sangria Sundays with the non Angels and of course Papa Dean who is just hilarious, Paisley knocks it out the Ranch again!

Haden hasn't had it easy, but neither has Cassie. Both struggle in their own ways and battle their insecurities and traumas with broken grace. You're rooting for them every step of the way with the emotional way Paisley writes. I felt the fear for Cassie, the anger and frustration with Dex and Jim's attitude, the love for Penny and the horses and how the community comes together to help when the chips are down, its beautiful.

All I can say, is this Author has definitely brought me into my cowboy era and I'm hooked.

Roll on the finalè, with Asher and Olivas story - Hes definitely a character who's intrigued me.

5*

Such a raw, emotional and powerful story for Haden and Cassie. Paisley was giving us everything in this book. The banter, the strong relationships and emotional pasts and presents and THE SPICE?! You know the spice was spicing when it’s Paisley Hope writing it! The spicy scenes were given in nothing short of great detail and I was LOVING IT!

I love how Paisley wrote Cassie and her story. How she represented how much anxiety can literally eat you alive and throw you off your entire axis. How she shows her readers it’s okay and help is there but it takes time to get better! She wrote it perfectly.

I devoured this book and I loved how you still get all of the characters from the other books. They all connect and play a part in each of the books and we even see a glimpse of Olivia and Asher ready for the next book!

Absolutely stunning read. I will forever be obsessed with this series and the characters. I’m going to be so sad when it ends!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – My favourite in the series so far!

Freeing the Wild is an absolute standout in the Silver Pines Ranch series. Cassie and Haden completely stole my heart - Cassie’s emotional journey and strength were both inspiring and authentic, and I really appreciated how her struggles weren’t glossed over. She’s such a powerful female lead, and Haden? Total swoon. His quiet adoration for her was the kind of dreamy romance that sticks with you.

The blend of music and ranch life felt so fresh and personal - it’s a crossover I didn’t know I needed but now can’t get enough of. And the Ashby family? Every scene with them was heartwarming and classic Silver Pines. It felt like coming home.

Huge thanks to NetGalley for the ARC - I’m already counting down to book 5. Another brilliant job by Paisley Hope!

I really love this series so much and I am grateful I have been able to read it and review it before publication!
I enjoy cowboy romances, especially during the warmer months and this was perfect.

This was an ARC through net galley

Oh my god… when I thought Paisley hope could not get any better she gives us haden and Cassie 🥺 the timeline of events in this book. From her falling off the horse to them getting married and having their own babies 🥺💔 I HAVE SOBBED

I loved how we saw the transformation of rugged ranch hand who only wanted a one night stand to the best, sexiest, most caring cowboy in ALL of silver pines. I love how he absolutely made Dax eat shit for treating Cassie the way he did and I also love how he put his father in his place. This man.. I want a man like this, is there a real haden out there??? If he is, can someone please deliver him to me (thanks 😏)

I love how Cassie throughout the book grew into her self taking therapy by the balls and working on her and only her (while falling in love with the cowboy next door 😫who wouldn’t) she was made for the ranch simple life and made for haden in more than one way😏😏

And MAMA! It was so lovely to see mama still kicking about and having a second chance at life having her girls and her granddaughters not too far away 💔

Since picking up this series I’ve longed for more after each book, so after finishing riding the high my main mission was to get freeing the wild on NetGalley, I am over the moon that I was able to review this book early and I will deffo be rereading again in November when it’s released 😫I simply CANNOT wait to get my hands on a copy 🥺 1000% 5/5 starsfor me

Again absolutely in love and absolutely over the moon to have read this early 🧡thank you Paisley Hope and Cornerstone for giving me the opportunity

The fourth instalment of the Silver Pines series and I think this is my favourite! Cassie and Haden were top tier characters and there was a lot of depth to them. Cassie had a knock to her confidence and future and dealing with grief and trauma and Haden had his issues with his own family and it made them strong people. I will be sad when this series finishes but can’t wait to see how that happens. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

It felt so nice heading back to Silver Pines for book four in the series. The best thing about interconnected standalones is the fact you can check in with old favourites whilst also falling in love with new characters.

Looking for some R&R, singer/songwriter Cassie heads to her sister’s ranch for a breather and ends up finding more than just inspiration rom her trip.

Filled with hunky cowboys, plenty of spice, adorable found families and a mmc who falls hard and fast, this book is the perfect addition to the series.


Thank you NetGalley and Cornerstone for the ARC.

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House for the arc copy! 🫶🏻

Freeing the Wild is 4th book in Paisley Hope’s Silver Pines series. This story follows singer-songwriter Cassie Spencer who needs a break from the limelight, and Haden Westbrooke who one day dreams of owning his own ranch. Will one night tonight together be enough or could their dreams of a quieter life possibly work out in reality?

Well…. 5 STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love this series and have rated all the books highly but this one takes the cake. I loved Cassie and Haden’s relationship and their chemistry was so clear thought out the story. I love when a couple end the book happy, living their dream life and I truly believe these guys did just that.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Utterly Captivating – Another Silver Pines Gem!

Freeing the Wild by Paisley Hope was just as amazing as all the other Silver Pines books! Haden and Cassie were absolutely written in the stars, and their chemistry leapt off the page. The character development is always stunning in this series, and this book was no exception – the emotional depth and growth kept me hooked from start to finish.

I feel so privileged to have read an ARC of this story, and I genuinely can’t wait for Olivia and Asher’s book next. Paisley Hope never disappoints!

Highly recommended for anyone who loves heartfelt, beautifully written romance.

Four stars of magic!!! Paisley Hope was born to write cowboy romances. Haden is the perfect manly, sexy, down bad, soft loverboy MMC of my dreams WITH A MOUSTACHE!!! Silver Pines is god tier. I’m so happy I didn’t have to wait for November to read this. Thank u cornerstone/netgalley!!!!

I have read the whole Silver Pines series so far as well as other titles by Paisley Hope and I have to say that this book did not disappoint. The Characters were fun and likeable. The storyline drew me in straight away. The banter had me laughing out loud and drunk Cassie is my spirit animal. The emotional journey this book takes us on has been well researched and felt authentic, because of this I found myself laughing and crying alongside the characters. The spice level is spicing without it effecting the flow of the story. I like the introduction of Olivia and Asher ready for the next book. I am also secretly hoping Papa Dean and Penny get together. I am excited for the next instalment and I am also keen to read even more titles from Paisley Hope.

OMG another great silver pines book. Absolutely loved Haden and cassie’s story, excellent storyline full of laughs, love and tears. Loved the HEA, will definitely recommend.
