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.

Story
Fighting wildfires is the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do and I’m damn good at it. Being the captain of an interagency hotshot crew of wildland firefighters is high-risk, high-reward. The risk blindsided me five years ago when I lost one of my crew and was changed forever. Now the only rewards I allow are to work harder, smarter, and enjoy easy, sexy nights with strangers. Until I meet Prescott Timmons. Her smart-mouth and adventurous spirit have me forgetting all of my rules—until her past shows up and lies start to feel too familiar.

Story
Lennox Kennedy is beautiful, loud, and the love of my life. She's also my ex-girlfriend. The first time I saw her after ten years apart, I slammed into the plexiglass minutes before our game was set to begin. The second time I threw up. The third time's a charm apparently because as my fiancée and I walked into an appointment to meet the woman hired to plan our nuptials—there she was again. Obviously, I did what any smart man would do—I called off the wedding. I don't have a plan per se, other than winning back the only girl I've ever loved.

She's back. We were kids the last time I saw her, but my innocent crush from childhood is full-grown now. And it's not so innocent anymore. She's a breath of fresh air from the series of one-night stands since being drafted into the NHL. I've only got one shot with her, and I'm not taking it for granted. I may give her the passion she's been craving, but she's the intimacy I've waited for my whole life.

Rosie Belmont has been driving me wild for years. The good kind of wild. The bad kind of wild. But mostly the kind of wild that comes with wanting your best friend’s little sister and knowing you can’t have her. After living in the city, she comes blasting back into Rose Hill like a storm. Beautiful, messy, and chaotic. And one wide-eyed desperate plea for a job is all it takes for me to hire her.

In Fiasco, Kentucky, there is one rule: never fall for a Foxx brother. Any woman who did, ended up dead—or so the rumor goes. Townies call it a curse. But I’ve lived it, and I won’t survive it again. I’m not a cop anymore, but I’ve seen enough danger to know that Laney Young, the beautiful stranger who just showed up in my small town, is running from it. She’s lying about where she came from and what she’s doing here. I don’t want her near my family or the quiet life I’ve made for myself. But my brothers have other plans.

I’m just so exhausted—always living on the edge of desperation, one paycheck away from ruin. But this new job… It could be the fresh start I need. It could change everything. The contract is only for three months, but if I keep my head down, work hard, and prove myself, maybe I could stay longer. Maybe I could make Black Mountain Lodge my home. As I pull down the gravel drive, surrounded by the forest and mountains and bright blue skies, I feel something I haven’t felt in a while. I feel hope.

When professional—and self-taught—violinist Gwen Jackson plays, she disappears into the peaks and valleys of each song, a quiet passion that never quite explodes into pure emotion. Xander Thorne is the exact opposite. A cellist and a rock star, he’s all about big emotion, but not even his six-foot-four frame can contain his skill, his genius...and an attitude that borders on jerkitude.

Demi Crawford was Magnolia Falls royalty. I was the boxer from the wrong side of the tracks. She was the epitome of everything good, while I was broody and rebellious. We couldn’t be more different. Her family was enemy number one which made her guilty by association. I despised her before I even knew her. It was easier that way. But now she’d moved in next door to me, and she was everywhere I turned. I couldn’t avoid her no matter how hard I tried. She was beautiful and honest and sweet. Everything I knew I shouldn’t want. Shouldn’t need.

Football is my everything. I live, eat, breathe the sport. But when I transfer to McKee University to escape the distractions that nearly cost me my future in the NFL, I’m faced with another consequence: retake and pass the writing class I failed at my last college, or lose any chance I have at making it big. That’s where fellow senior Beckett Wood—gorgeous, stubborn, and just my type—comes in. She’s the key to my success in this class… but the price of her help is a fake relationship, and I never do things halfway.

Bruised and abused, and victim to a loveless household, I shimmered with new life the moment he found me drowning my sorrows in a lake beneath the stars. A chance encounter. An unspoken connection. I was smitten. He was curious. But, as everyone knew, fate could be decidedly cruel. He called me Halley, like the comet. I called him Reed. And my best friend? Well… she called him Dad.

It’s not stalking if he’s your hot neighbor…right? At least, that’s what I tell myself when Adrian Carter moves in next door. His scowl should make me want to run in the other direction, but when I catch him smothering a smile around me, it makes me want to get to know him more. And when Adrian starts to open up, I find myself falling in love with the cinnamon roll center hidden beneath his gruff exterior. But between my emotional baggage and his aversion to relationships, it’s looking like we’ll never be more than neighborly.

Story
I'm naturally gifted on the field and between the sheets. With flashy cars and enough media attention to put the Royal Family to shame, I’m the definition of Most Eligible Bachelor. Every man wants to be me and every woman wants to tame me. Until Camila. The moment I lay eyes on her, I know I have to have her. She wants to keep me at arm's length. I want her naked in my bed. She thinks our worlds are too different. All I want her to think about is screaming my name. She says I’m bad news. I have three weeks to prove her wrong.

I should have run the other way. Paid my tab and gone back to my room. But he was there. And he was…everything. I figured, what’s the harm in letting passion rule my decisions for one night? So what if he looks like the Devil in a suit? I’d be leaving in the morning, flying home to my pleasant but predictable life. I’d never see him again. Except I do. In the last place I expected. And now everything I’ve worked so hard for is in jeopardy.

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.

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!

Small town cowboy romance, what’s not to love!!?
Sweet & spicy. Nash is the standard! I loved Ceces strong personality & thought the story was good for a debut! Would have loved to hear this one in a duet style narration. This was my first time listening to Thomas Oakley and really enjoyed his voice for Nash!

I was already in love with this story but getting to hear it brought to life by 𝑩𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒆 𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒆𝒍𝒔 & 𝑻𝒉𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒔 𝑶𝒂𝒌𝒍𝒆𝒚, was just so special! They brought the emotional and they DEFINITELY delivered on the spice!
“𝘠𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘸𝘭 𝘵𝘰.”
Nash’s backstory and his loss are so palpable, I just wanted to wrap him up in a big hug. He is a long time reformed playboy with a heart of pure gold for those he loves. His relationship with the whole Ashby clan is so sweet.
I loved CeCe and her fellow ‘not angels’. They were serious girl gang goals! CeCe is still healing from her father’s death and her failed relationship after her ex fiancé cheated on her. She’s always had a crush on her older brother’s bestie but when they finally get together it’s so dang STEAMY.
“𝘊𝘳𝘢𝘸𝘭 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦, 𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘺.”
Nash grew a lot through this story. He finally started to heal some emotional scars and he did it all because of how much he cared for CeCe.
“𝘞𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘱𝘩𝘢𝘴𝘦. 𝘞𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘱𝘩𝘢𝘴𝘦. 𝘞𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴.”

The storyline was great & the spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️
The female narrator. It felt like a parent reading my a bedtime story but in a matter of fact tone. The male narrator had more emotion to his tone and I enjoyed those parts. The storyline was great and the spice was spicing!!

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
