I laughed, cried, kicked my feet swooning, got nervous... Literally all the feels. I've read all the books in the series but this one is my favorite.
Cole and Ginger had friendship, banter, desire and tension all wrapped up in secrets. Their characteristics felt tangible, so raw you felt them deeply and intensely while still being a light story. I loved every single minute of it.

2.5


El peor libro de la serie.

Cole, el más romántico, siempre supo que Ginger era la indicada, pero terminó embarazando a otra y casándose con ella. Sin embargo, se divorció porque las cosas no salieron bien y regresó a sus costumbres de mujeriego. Mientras tanto, mantuvo a Ginger como amiga , para que, cuando decidiera dejar de acostarse con otras, pudiera tener a la indicada. ¿No es romántico? Es el hombre, pero el hombre basura.

Y ya se imaginarán que Ginger fue una tonta que lo esperó, saliendo con otras personas, pero sin ser nada serio, porque en el fondo esperaba que su mejor amigo la viera de otra manera.
Ah, ella vio todo el desfile de sus mujeres con una sonrisa.

Al final empiezan a salir por un error, no porque él se diera cuenta que era un idiota.

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Cole and Ginger were the couple I was most excited for as I started this series. Their story lived up to the hype! The dynamic between the two of them was fun and their flirty banter was tension filled in the best way. Watching the relationship between Cole and Ginger develop was exciting, the slow burn was so satisfying. Even more satisfying was watching the relationship between Ginger and Mabel develop. The three of them made such a great family, I’m glad they got their happy ending! There were a handful of grammatical errors throughout the book but I assume they will be fixed before the final publication. Overall I loved Cole and Ginger and their love story. Thank you so much to Dell and NetGalley for the advanced copy!

This book is everything! Their friendship to their secret marriage had me sucked in from page one! Who doesn't love best friends who have loved each other for years???? Cole and Ginger's relationship will have you laughing and crying and possibly crying from laughing with their banter! A game of truth or dare or cashing in favors between the two is pure delight!!

I adore Paisley and thisseries! This town and this family and these friends had a special place in my heart. The writing reminds me a lot of Elsie silver! This is a must read if you have not read them. This author gets me in the feels every time!

I read this in one sitting and now need to go back and read the other two. I didn't realize this was a third book in the series. It was a sweet fun cowboy romance and I couldn't get enough. Happy I have the others to read still.

✨ARC Read✨ I have been waiting for Cole and Ginger’s story since book one of the Silver Pines Series and Paisley did not disappoint! This story brings us back to the small Kentucky town of Laurel Creek where everybody knows everybody. Hottie sheriff and single dad Cole and the sassy congressman’s daughter, Ginger have been frenemies since they were little kids. Now as adults the secret tension and longing between them is explosive when they hit the Vegas strip and.. well let’s just say what happens in Vegas didn’t stay in Vegas. As they navigate this secret marriage/mistake, their own secrets seem to be spilling over at rapid rates 😍 This book made me laugh with all the witty banter that is Ginger and Cole. The tension and angst was 🤌🏻. Both Ginger and Cole’s characters were relatable and truly just so sweet I couldn’t help but fall in love with them. For me, this book has all the makings to the perfect romcom from secret pining to a touch of jealousy and possessiveness. And the spice… 🔥😮‍💨🤌🏻🌶️🌶️🌶️

If you love that small town vibe and that “it’s always been you”, then this book is a must read!

🌻 Friends to lovers

This was such a fun read. I’m always a sucker for a good accidental Vegas marriage trope - especially when it ends better than Ross and Rachel’s. 🤣

I loved Ginger and Cole’s story. Both characters were so lovable - Ginger’s mischief had me cackling, and the long term yearning since childhood was sooo good. The friends to lovers trope was so well written, they had that tension and chemistry before they caved in to the romance and it was delicious. Speaking of delicious, the MOUTH on that man. 🥵 I was SWEATING. Pair that with him being the county sheriff, good gravy.. there’s only so much a girl can handle.

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 North and dealing with snow storms and 4 degree weather. Also, loved the Brooklyn 99 references.

Highly recommend!

What to expect:

🚤 Single dad

🚤 Friends to lovers
🚔 Accidental Vegas marriage
🚤 Small town
🚔 Reformed playboy
🚤 He has a dirty mouth

Over all I liked this book. I started this series for the cowboys, but I did enjoy law daddy even though law enforcement is not my go to trope. I adored Ginger and Mabel’s relationship. I liked the friends to lovers and nanny tropes but it’s not my favorite book featuring them. Great spicy scenes, but I felt robbed we didn’t get more from the wedding night. I am becoming a big fan of Paisley Hope and can’t wait to read more of her books!

Thank you to Netgally for providing this ARC.

Loved it. Cole and Ginger are so cute. The banter, the spice, and the dirty talk were all just so good.

Cole Ashby and Ginger Danforth, I always knew you were hiding something. 😉

In books 1 & 2 of this series they were the brother and her best friend that were always bickering, trading jabs and maybe flirting….yeah totally flirting 😍

I love this series so much and dare I say that single dad, Cole is my favorite. He and Ginger are absolute fire together but also, they make a pretty spectacular home and safe space for his daughter, Mabel. Their long history, secret friendship and now romance is fun, beautiful, steamy and really just everything you want in a book romance.

I adore this whole series and this book was perfection. 🩷

I am not always a fan of single dad romance, but I thought this one was great! Not only was the spice delicious in this one, but the fact that Cole was such a wonderful father and partner made me weak in the knees. Ginger was also a wonderful character and I loved that she is quick with a comeback. The tension in this book was great, the steamy scenes were just right and Cole's dirty talk had me blushing.

If you are a fan of Elsie Silver's western romances, I think you would also enjoy this series.

Thank you NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine | Dell for access to the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I knew I would like this story when I saw it was an accidental wedding in Vegas. I just love it when an unplanned marriage happens and the feelings cannot be fought anymore. That is exactly how it was for Cole and Ginger. I absolutely adored watching their love story bloom after years of fighting it. Honestly though, I think their timing was just perfect.

I knew I would like this story when I saw it was an accidental wedding in Vegas. I just love it when an unplanned marriage happens and the feelings cannot be fought anymore. That is exactly how it was for Cole and Ginger. Ginger is so much like me that reading her POVS were giving me life, especially when it comes to her teasing. I love how much she loved to pick on Cole and kept it fun and on your toes. She is my kind of girl through and through. Cole was such a perfect girl dad, and the love he shows his girls was melt worthy. Not to mention when he goes al protective mode. HOT. I absolutely adored watching their love story bloom after years of fighting it. Honestly though, I think their timing was just perfect.

SCREAMING over Ginger and Cole.
I fell in love with Ginger and Cole as individuals right from the start of this series and then as it went on, all I could hope for was for them to be together!

This was truly such a heartwarming, comforting, sweet story. The character building for these 2 from the start of the series is amazing. I really enjoy getting to know characters deeply so I can feel everything that is going on in the book within me through the characters perspectives. The storyline and plot are amazing. Single dad is one of my favorite tropes and Cole is just next level sexy single perfect dad. Their longtime friendship really sets this book apart from other accidental marriage books. The way that they truly care about each other is felt so deeply and the little mix of scenes to back in time really bring everything they feel for each other together. Perfect amount of spice that's done SO WELL and it fit both the characters personalities perfectly. I laughed, I cried, I swooned, I cheered, I smiled wide, ALL the feels!!

Riding the High by Paisley Hope is the perfect mix of small-town charm, accidental marriage chaos, and slow-burn romance that sneaks up on you in the best way. If you love the oops, we got married in Vegas trope with a side of found family, this one is a must-read.

Cole Ashby has just landed the job of sheriff, and he’s determined to prove he’s the steady, responsible man the town—and his young daughter—needs. Ginger Danforth, a congressman’s daughter and elementary school teacher, has spent her whole life trying to keep up perfect appearances. But one impulsive game of truth or dare in Vegas later, and suddenly, these long-time friends wake up married.

The setup alone is golden, but the real magic happens when they decide to stay married—for reasons (a.k.a. their reputations). What starts as a temporary, keep-it-secret arrangement turns into something much harder to deny when Ginger steps in to help care for Cole’s daughter. The forced proximity, the undeniable chemistry, the way they both start to forget this was ever supposed to be fake—it’s all so, so good.

Paisley Hope does such a great job of making this romance feel real. Cole is the ultimate devoted dad and protector (hello, swoon), and Ginger’s journey from rule-follower to risk-taker is so satisfying. If you love small-town romance, single-dad softness, and a marriage of convenience that turns into so much more, Riding the High will have you hooked from page one.

Amazing!! This was my absolute favorite book of the three in the series. I wanted Cole and Ginger to get together from the start. The accidental marriage and long time friends trip is absolutely fabulous!! The sass of Ginger and the attitude of Cole mesh so well together. I was laughing throughout this book. The family aspect of this book, as well as the other two books is clearly present and wonderful. The dynamic between these two characters is great. I loved this beyond measure!! As much as I love all the characters in the first three, I do hope Liv gets her story and happy ever after too.

Read this in one sitting because it was so addictive!! I’ve been on the arc team since holding the reins and Paisleys writing keeps getting better and better! This was so much fun and so easy to get immersed in,
Both main characters were so believable and you can truly see the connection between the two. And knowing the other side characters and how they interact in the story without being overbearing or flat is such a huge bonus.
Cole and Ginger will always have a place in my heart <3

4.5⭐️ so excited I got my hands on this ARC thank you Dell/ Ballentine.

I have been anxiously waiting for Ginger and Cole’s story and it did not disappoint! I love her relationship with Mabel and the bond they all share! A really got take on secret friends to lovers story 🤍

Each book in the Silver Pines Ranch book keeps getting better and better! Seeing Ginger and Cole interact in the first two books had me panting for their own book. I've given all three books in the series 5 stars! Paisley Hope has quickly become a favorite author of mine. She writes with the perfect amount of banter, heart, sass, and spice. This series pulls on your heartstrings while making you laugh

Cole Ashby is trying to survive being a single parent and the new town Sheriff. He's known for being a player but he wants to prove that he's taking the job seriously. Ginger Danforth is tired of being the perfect Congressman's daughter. She wants to let loose and getting under Cole Ashby's skin is the perfect way to do it. What the town doesn't know is that Cole and Ginger have been secretly leaning on each other for years. After a drunken Las Vegas wedding, Cole and Ginger find themselves in a predicament. They need to keep their situation secret from loved ones until the marriage can be annulled. What happens when the time for annulment comes and both parties want to keep on being married?

I heart Cole Ashby but the main star of this book is Ginger. She is so fiery and has the best personality. I just love the dynamic between the two. The push and pull along with fantastic banter. Ginger has such a special relationship with Cole's daughter, Mabel. At this point, I would read anything Paisley Hope writes. She gets me to fall in love with tropes I've never been interested in before.

Tropes: accidental marriage, married in Vegas, secret friends, small town, single father, nanny/boss, family series, secret pining, forced proximity, playboy hero, complicated family dynamics, dirty talk, baby mama drama, "my wife", Brooklyn 99 references
