Absolutely obsessed with this story. I couldn’t put it down. I laughed, I cried, I raged, I swooned, and I never wanted it to end. Holding the Reins by Paisley Hope is everything I didn’t know I needed and more. Nash is a retired NHL player, bar owner, and part-time cowboy (yeehaw), and the Ashbys are his honorary family who’ve had his back—and his heart—his whole life. And CeCe? She’s back home after an 8-year relationship bites the dust, and Nash? Oh, it’s on… like Donkey Kong. 🙌🏼 
 
From the witty banter to the heart-racing, pulse-pounding sexual tension (hello, bar sex 🔥), this story is a hot tamale 🌶️🌶️. I’m head over heels, Paisley—consider me yours, forever. Your new number-one fan ✌🏼🎉 
 
If I had to pick just one line (and trust me, it’s hard with all the rippers): “Touch her again, and I’ll fucking bury you.” 🥵🥵🥵 Iconic.
