Riding the High

Silver Pines Ranch Series, Book 3

De: Paisley Hope

Narrado por: Erin Mallon, Thomas Oakley

In the steamy third novel in the Silver Pines Ranch series, a newly appointed sheriff and a congressman's daughter must keep their impulsive Vegas nuptials hidden to protect their reputations—but what happens in Vegas rarely remains secret.

Her heart is wild. Only he can capture it.

When Cole Ashby is appointed Laurel Creek's interim sheriff, he is determined to prove himself as the best man for the job. A devoted single dad, his goal is to lay steady roots for his young daughter.

As the daughter of a Kentucky congressman, Ginger Danforth's life has always been about neat appearances. But inside, she's dying to break free and embrace the sense of adventure that runs through her veins.

During a wild weekend in Las Vegas, Ginger and Cole play a game of truth or dare and, after a few too many drinks, find themselves hitched in a neon-lit chapel. With no quick way out, they strike a deal: stay secretly married until Ginger's father is reelected and Cole lands the sheriff job permanently.

But as the pair are forced to spend an increasing amount of time in each other's company, sparks continue to fly, and their accidental marriage starts to feel dangerously real.

Until they forget they were ever pretending at all.

A New Favorite Friend's to Lovers Audiobook

[Riding the High]

OMG I love love LOVE Cole and Ginger!! Holding the Reins is one of my all-time favorite books so I was so excited to not only be back in Silver Pines, but to also finally get all the details on Cole and Ginger's "friendship". (yes those are air quotes) We all knew there had to be so much more to it than that and their story couldn't have been more perfect.

Paisley did such an amazing job writing their banter and chemistry. You could feel the way they care about each other in every single chapter. They had a romantic connection from the beginning but they are both fighting it so hard. I loved the slow burn that was built into them resisting and resisting until they finally give in. *chefs kiss*

I loved every second of this book!

I wanted to immersive read this one (reading with your eyes while listening to the audio) so I waited until the audio pub day and it was so worth it! The narration for this book was amazing and added to much to the experience. Erin Mallon and Thomas Oakley narrated and they were the most perfect Ginger and Cole. Loved this one!

Friendship that grows

I really enjoyed this book and love the author. All her books are written so well and keep your attention. Loved Ginger from the beginning and it was so much fun to read about her this time!

❤️

I will forever listen to Paisley Hope books! I adore her characters and her writing ! Please go listen/read!!

Honestly, I enjoyed the story, but I have a really hard time with this particular FN. Very poor choice for the spicy Ginger.

Great story. Bad choice of a female narrator. Honestly, if I see her name on future narrations I am NOT purchasing. She’s ruined several stories I’ve looked forward to so much.
The drag at the end of every sentence. Weird inflections. Flat performance. Sounds like she’s reading the evening news. Just boring.
Loved the male narrators voice. Mostly just read the story after about half way through. Couldn’t take it anymore. Please stop using this narrator!!!

happiness

I feel the story could have been shortened but overall a delightful tale. I was not a big fan of the narrators. Paisley writes a wonderful story of family and love.

Best one yet!

Ok- thought I loved Nash and wade, but Cole!!!!! I ate this up. Their story is so cute. Might be my new favorite in this series!

Love it!

I love Paisley Hopes writing. This series is fun. Slow burn, Friend to lovers, Fake marriage, Single Dad -what’s not to love . Very enjoyable audio book performance.

swoon worthy single dad romance!

AHHHHH THIS WAS PHENOMENAL!!! lawdaddy and ginger have been cooking in the slow burner from book one- and they were absolutely worth the wait! literal heart eyes and drool worthy chemistry occur between these two, from their banter and flirting, to their nights in vegas and in the hot tub, to the secret tattoo/branding and nicknames- every bit of it is perfection. the love law daddy has for his girls is like none other & i adore gingers relationship with mabel>>>>

huge thanks to netgalley, Paisley’s team and publisher, for allowing the opportunity for me to receive an ARC! after listening to the audios of book one and two i knew i needed to finish this gem on audio after release!

erin mallon and thomas oakley were freaking fabulous- their narrations were perfection!
