About this listen

Take a deep breath and let go of the reins.

Cecilia "CeCe" Ashby is finally escaping the toxic relationship that has consumed her entire adult life. She's returning to her hometown of Laurel Creek, Kentucky, and her family's equestrian ranch, unsure of what the future holds.

Nash Carter, the newly retired superstar of the Dallas Stars, is Laurel Creek's hometown hero, local business owner, and notorious bachelor. He's also the unofficial fourth sibling in the Ashby clan. It's been years since his days of tormenting CeCe with her older brothers Wade and Cole. So, when CeCe needs a job, he feels drawn to help her.

Nash can't seem to take his eyes off of his best friend's sister, and it seems she's been staring right back, not without animosity left over from his childish teasing back in the day. Despite their initial reluctance, the fire between them ignites and it isn't long before they jump into the flames.

In this steamy cowboy romance, a woman returns to her family's ranch after a broken engagement and finds herself falling for her brother's best friend. The first novel in the Silver Pines Ranch series.

LOVED THIS!


UGH NASH AND CECE!!!!!!

I read this because I’ve had Paisley Hope on my TBR forever, and after getting the Training the Heart eArc I KNEW I couldn’t put it off any longer.

Cece moves back to her small Kentucky town after calling it quits with her insufferable fiance. Retired hockey player, bar owner, and her brothers LONG time best friend Nash Carter is the towns heartthrob. When Cece gets a new job she’s shocked to find her her boss is….the sometimes cowboy Nash Carter….

I LOVE THE PART TIME COWBOY NASH CARTER. My oh my is he sweet ✨ but with a spicy side. I love the protectiveness he has engrained in him and the relationship he has with ALL of the Ashbys.

Cece is so cute, I want to be apart of the Not Angels so bad…and a PINK PARTY what where was my invite?! I love how she follows her heart and restarts her life after leaving her dookie ex.

After reading and making this edit I have decided that I need a night out doing Shania Karaoke.

The audiobook is narrated by Brooke Daniel’s and Thomas Oakley, and I thought they fit the characters so well. The audio was super enjoyable! 💖 produced by @podiumentertainment and available on @audible

It Was a Book

It was a good plot. The romance was fine, but there a lot of spicy scenes that didn’t quite help the plot move forward. It was a book that read like a first book. The audiobook was good. I would read from the author again.

Spicy, small town cowboys done right!

I love everything about this one! The cast, the story, the couples, all of it brought to life by fantastic narrators. I was laughing and blushing the whole time. Love Cece and Nash on audio!

Great story; mismatched performers

I enjoyed this one a lot. It had the right about of spice, but fell short as the narrators speed didn’t match each other and the voices didn’t quite match the characters. Nash sounded like a 50 year old man.

Love this cowboy romance

This was a fun read, not too heavy on plot or depth, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I had previously read Wolfe by Paisley Hope and was expecting something more like that but this was a sweet cowboy romance with an ex hockey player and his best friends’ little sister. The spice and the way Nash takes care of CeCe were great. Definitely a small town/cowboy romance worth reading.

Nash Carter

Nash Carter the man that you are. I fell in love with this man Paisley you’ve written my newest favorite book boyfriend. The narrators did such a wonderful job with bringing these characters to life. This books is hands down one of my current favorites. Oh & yes there’s a whole lot of spice. 😝

Saddle Up!

Saddle Up. I love a hot cowboy romance and Holding the Reins definitely fit the vibe. This story was fun, funny, sexy, dirty, and so dang good. I loved CeCe and Nash and how they bantered and fell for each other. Nash was a total sweetheart and really took care of Cece and I loved how he stepped in to protect her from her jerk of an ex. This book was mostly sweet, but definitely hot at the same time. Nash has a dirty mouth, which CeCe gives right back to him, but the defining moment for me was when she told him to crawl to her and like a good boy he dropped to his knees and worshipped her like she deserved.

This story set up some crazy hot tension for Wade and Ivy and I can't wait for their story!

NASH & CECE ❤️

This was my first Paisley Hope novel and it WILL NOT be my last! I loved the setting of this story, in rural KY… I loved the dynamic between Cece and Nash… their past, overcoming their fears of making a future together, and finally getting their HEA… Nash is a gruff, retired NHL hockey player and also a “part time cowboy.” Does it get any better than that?! Except his mouth maybe… 😮‍💨 I listened to this one and narration was chef’s kiss! 🤌🏻💋 This one is a definite must read/listen!
