Paisley Hope can do no wrong! I love everything she writes, this one included. I liked that Ginger and Cole didn't fight it their feelings for all that long, they both sorta knew what they wanted and went for it!

Possible spoilers?
I was so luck enough to receive and Arc of Riding the high! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again if Paisley Hope writes it I’m gonna read it. She is an auto buy for me. I was laughing and kicking my feet the whole time 😂
I’ve loved every single book of the silver pines series and this one did not disappoint. I was itching for Cole and Ginger’s story because I just knew it would be a good one! You’ll find best friends brother, secret friends to lovers (featuring a secret and accidental marriage too), single dad, and the spice is just perfect. Seeing how they always rely on one another in any situation and both secretly pining over each other 😭
I loved watching the entire dynamic of not only Cole and Ginger, but also her with Mabel (Cole’s little girl), and then all three of them. Seeing how they navigate the situation they’re in, and watching Mabel and Ginger’s bond of step mom and daughter flourish and grow is just amazing. 🖤

Thank you for gifting me an advanced copy!
I loved Ginger and Cole's chemistry. The banter and the quirky sayings they have between each other. I really enjoyed the story. The spice was spicy. There's just something about a single dad that does me in and throw in a best friend's brother...oooooof. I need a Cole Ashby in my life. This was my favorite Silver Pines st0ry so far. I'm hoping there will be more. I enjoy Paisley Hope's writing style.

This was a cute read. I am liking this series a lot and feel privileged to be able to ARC them. Small town sheriff and sister’s best friend. Always drawn to each other. They even started a friendship after Cece (sister) left town. Cole has a daughter named Mabel and an ex wife who is not a good mother. Cole realizes he needs some help during the summer. It worked out wonderfully that Ginger is available to help. This sets up more tension between them. Everyone around them can see their chemistry as well. It doesn’t take long ans they no longer can resist each other. This series is fun and perfect for a refresher.
Thank you Net galley and Random House for the ARC!

This book was just what I needed to kick off some spring/summer reading. I’m a sucker for a single dad cowboy romance, and pair that with a strong, wild, and independent FMC and I’m sold. 🥹 I’m always amazed at how many different tropes Paisley can sneak into a book, and in Riding the High they all meshed so well. Now I’m ready for the next 😈
Thanks netgalley for the ARC!

WOW. That pretty much sums up exactly how I feel about this book.
I had the honor of receiving an ARC of Training The Heart, and while reading I thought “there is no way any book in this series will ever top this book”. BOY WAS I WRONG.
Ginger and Cole were absolutely everything I needed and more. I have always been a huge fan of the single dad x nanny trope, and this book took such a unique and fun angle on this trope! Plus an accidental Vegas wedding? Freaking SOLD. The Mabel x Ginger x Cole team will forever be a favorite and I will never stop thinking about this book.

first of all i did not expect to be accepted for this arc but the gods were on my side today, I'm so grateful to have gotten arcs for this whole series that i'm frankly OBSESSED with!!! i absolutely binged the hell out of it and don’t regret anything. cole and ginger were amazing and my favorite in the series so far
cole and ginger have had tension building for SO long and thank god it finally snapped. this was one of my most anticipated reads because of their chemistry and it did NOT disappoint. cole is this grumpy playboy and ginger is so similar to me I loved it. the marriage trope will ALWAYS do it for me, they literally were WILDDD. i love the banter, everything was tit for tat for them and i ate it up. would HIGHLY recommend!!

I want to start with a huge thank you to @netgalley & @dellromance for the ARC for Riding the High, third installment of the Silver Pines Ranch series! I have been very fortunate to be on Paisleys teams before and read this series early, and Cole & Ginger’s story….everything I could have asked for🤭
These two are secret friends, who have always danced around their own feelings and when they get pushed together unexpectedly? Chemistry, banter, all the deep emotions and heat (😮💨🔥) come out swinging. Their story was deeply intwined with one another, emotions that’s were so relatable every reader will see themselves in either MC and the continued found family that shows up when things are perfectly messy.
Cole, Law Daddy Cole, the sweetest and most protective guy who loves his girls with everything he has, even when it’s messy and imperfect. And Ginger, the perfect carefree and loving addition to this newfound family. These two will have you in all your feels, crush you into a million pieces but the end is going to have you giggling & kicking your feet!

Paisley Hope’s Riding the High delivers a steamy, charming romance with a delightful mix of humor, tension, and heart. This third installment in the Silver Pines Ranch series explores the unlikely marriage of Cole Ashby, a newly appointed sheriff, and Ginger Danforth, the daughter of a powerful Kentucky congressman. Their impulsive Las Vegas wedding kicks off a story that is both fun and full of surprises.
I really enjoyed the chemistry between Cole and Ginger. Their relationship starts off as a seemingly ridiculous secret, but as they spend more time together, their connection deepens in a way that feels both natural and irresistible. Cole, as a single dad with a strong sense of duty, is a wonderful, grounded character, while Ginger’s desire for freedom adds a nice contrast and makes her journey of self-discovery all the more engaging.
The writing is witty and fast-paced, with plenty of steamy moments and heartfelt emotions. The setting of Silver Pines Ranch continues to shine, offering a perfect backdrop for this romance to bloom. The tension between duty and desire adds an extra layer to the plot, keeping things interesting as Cole and Ginger navigate their complicated situation.
While the premise of a secret marriage might feel a bit cliché, Paisley Hope does a great job of making it fresh and fun, especially as the stakes continue to rise for both characters. The only reason I’m giving it four stars instead of five is that I felt like the ending could’ve been a bit more fleshed out, with a bit more resolution to some of the secondary storylines.
Overall, Riding the High is a sizzling romance that will have you hooked from the first page. Fans of the series will not be disappointed, and new readers will find themselves eager to catch up on the rest of the books. If you’re looking for a romantic escape with great characters, hot chemistry, and a story that tugs at the heartstrings, this one’s definitely worth the read!

5⭐️s!!!
This book! Paisley Hope keeps hitting it out of the park again and again. I was super lucky to be able to read Cole and Ginger’s story early and the only downside I can find is that I can’t talk about it yet. This had so many of my favorite tropes, done SO WELL, and in very interesting ways that I’ve never seen them utilized before. Ginger as a main character was so fun and seeing her and Cole’s relationship develop and grow was such a beautiful experience. I also LOVED watching Ginger’s relationship develop with Mabel. Also, Paisley writes some of the best spice I’ve ever read, and this book was no exception. If you liked Cade and Willa from Heartless by Elsie Silver, or Teddy and Gus from Lost and Lassoed by Lyla Sage, you need to read Ginger and Cole’s story this May!
*a massive thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an early copy of this book*

Riding High is the third cowboy romance in Paisley Hope's Silver Pines Ranch series. Set in Kentucky, this small-town series is about the Ashby family and their three grown children as they each find their Happily Ever Afters. This third book focuses on middle child Cole, the town sheriff and and consummate playboy. His little sister's best friend, Ginger, has been in his life since they were kids, and in recent years they have become close friends. But all of that is about to change...
Perfect for readers of Lyla Sage's Rebel Blue Ranch series; this book's plotline and characters are eerily similar to the third book of that series, Lost and Lassoed.
Thanks to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for the chance to read and review this e-gallyey.

Cole and Ginger are everything. I loved being back in Silver Pines. Their banter, chemistry and tension was absolute perfection. I loved every single moment of their story. I want to go to Vegas and leave as Mrs. Ashby.
Cole is HOT. He is sweet, funny, caring, and oh so sexy. Also, this man's mouth had me in a freaking PUDDLE. The way he loves Mabel is so dang heartwarming. The way he loves Ginger is pure magic.
Ginger is sassy, fun and so loving. She tried to fight her attraction to Cole but their connection was just too strong and lets be honest, who would want to fight it anyway? I loved her and the infamous girl group of Silver Pines.
Thank you so much to Paisley Hope and Dell Romance for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I feel like I've said this for every book that has come out in this series, but I think this one is my favorite!! I couldn't put it down and finished it within a few hours.
I'm such a sucker for a small town single dad romance, but the way Paisley built up the tension between Ginger and Cole aka Law Daddy in the first 2 books made this one PERFECT.
And my sweet little Mabel 🥹 I love her so much and her swear boot lmao
Read if you Enjoy:
💜 Single Dad
💜 Accidental Marriage
💜 Forced Proximity
💜 “My Wife” 😮💨
💜 Small Town
💜 Spice
Thank you NetGalley and Dell for the e-ARC. All opinions are my own.

Riding the High by Paisley Hope is the third book in the Silver Pines Ranch series. I do recommend reading the first two before this one as there are characters and storylines from them that will be much easier to follow but you could potentially read this as a standalone. However, you will be missing out because book 1 is perfection. Book 2 is great as well. Book 3 just didn’t hit as hard for me this time around. I really wanted to love it as I absolutely LOVE a Single Dad romance. But I just really couldn’t get into this one as much as the first two. Do not get me wrong, Cole and Ginger’s story is a great one and I did find myself giggling quite often with their fun banter. And if you are looking for spice, this most definitely still delivers. I could have done without Cole being such a player at the beginning. Call me old school, but I don’t want to hear about either of their conquests… just them.
I want to thank Paisley, NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group- Ballantine for this ARC read in return for my honest review.

Another great book by Paisley!!! Loved continuing this group of people and read another cutie cowboy romance!! Such a great book to get out of a reading slump!

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was the third book in the Silver Pines series and had classic Paisley Hope banter and spice.
Ginger and Cole have been secretly friends for years until one night in Vegas a drunken truth or dare ends in their marriage. They decide to stay married over the summer while Ginger helps Cole out with his daughter and well you can guess what happens next.
This was an easy read and a nice continuation of the series and the characters from the other books. But definitely not my favorite of the series. The tropes within are not my favorite. What can I say this is not my type of man in a uniform. Also their reason for staying married seemed flimsy and not realistic to me??
Tropes: best friends brother, accidental marriage, friends to lovers, it’s always been you

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
Cole Ashby has my heart💙💙💙
Riding The High is now my favorite book that I’ve had the opportunity to read this year. Cole and Ginger’s story has got to be so well written and put together that you can feel the chemistry throughout the entirety of the book. This was easily a five star read for me because this book had the perfect amount of plot, spice, and truly amazing characters that I loved.
This series was very swoon worthy and sweet, and honestly out of all three this has got to be my favorite so far! I enjoyed getting to see my favorite family and getting a closer look into Cole, Mabel, and Ginger’s lives after being introduced to them in the previous books.
The single dad trope is one of my favorites to read and this trope in Riding The High certainly did not disappoint. The fact that both Cole and Ginger have a long history and grew up together made this story and plot all the more interesting!! Mabel made this book perfect because she was the cutest and sweetest little girl.
Cole truly is an amazing hard working man, not to mention he really cares and admires his daughter so much that he will do anything and everything to give her an amazing childhood and life that he can. You can tell just how much he loves his little girl, which is so swoon-worthy and sweet!
Ginger oh my sweet Ginger is such a wonderful person. Her character is one of the best that I’ve read just by the way she cares about everyone and loves so hard. I enjoyed reading about her and seeing who she truly was deep down!
The banter and chemistry between Cole and Ginger was top notch and I really couldn’t put this book down because I just had to know how their story was going to progress and end. Whenever I reached the end of the book I just couldn’t let them go. Riding The High pulled me in so bad that I never wanted to leave Silver Pines.
Paisley Hope is such an amazing author, she just knows how to give us a perfect story with characters that we will fall in love with from the very beginning. Paisley is someone who was meant to write amazing books and I can’t wait to see what else she brings us in future books!
I loved Riding The High so much that I highly recommend it to everyone wanting a nice, fun read filled with the perfect amount of spice, plot as well as banter! It will for sure leave you wanting more.
Thank you to both NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group-Ballantine for this eArc in exchange for my honest review!

“What happens in Vegas, doesn’t always stay in Vegas.”
Cole Ashby and Ginger Danforth have done the unthinkable….got married in Vegas. Even though they went on this trip with family and friends, no one knows this has happened and there’s no easy way to end it. Both agree to keep it a secret because Cole has been appointed the new sheriff back home in Kentucky, but hasn’t been sworn in yet and Ginger‘s father is up for reelection. They don’t want this drunken decisions to interfere with these events, plus Cole has a daughter he has always put first. Will their marriage end in flames or will the chemistry they’ve always had lead to something real?
Riding the High had everything I wanted and MORE! All my top tropes were in this novel: best friend’s brother, accidental marriage & single father. Cole and Ginger love to taunt and tease each other, so living in close proximity elevated their antics.The moments Ginger shared with Cole’s daughter Mabel were the cutest interactions.Have I mentioned the spice?? LOVED IT! Both have known each other forever and it’s exciting to see their feelings intensify. You will also be screaming when reading the epilogue because it is so sweet! This is currently my favorite in the series and I can’t wait to see what will happen next at Silver Pines Ranch.
Thank you NetGalley and Dell for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Ms. Paisley Hope definitely knows how to do her job.
If you read the last book, I would say this one is less of a slow burn. Since the characters have technically known each other and you’ve watched their dynamic grow over the past two novels, this book jumps right in.
I can’t say I’m mad at it, but it is pretty intense. Lots of emotion, lots of angst, and way more spice than I expected after reading the last novel.
I will say, Paisley Hope has a knack for writing lovable characters. For adding depth and nuance without completely breaking your heart. I truly enjoy the chance to read any of her novels, especially when I’m having an uninspired reading break (aka nothing else in my TBR is doing it for me). Her books will surely pull you out of a rut and have you smiling on the inside in no time.
Thank you #NetGalley for this digital ARC.

This book was so fantastic-I’m forever a fan of this author and her works!! If anything, I’d just love more writing tbh.
