“Ginger has always been in my heart, but it’s taken less than two months for her to sink into my bones and every goddamn nook and cranny of my soul.”

Paisley Hope…. the chokehold that you and Silver Pines Ranch have me in!!!! Riding the High is the third book in the Silver Pines Ranch series and it follows Cece’s best friend, Ginger and Cece’s sheriff brother, Cole. 

Overall this is a super fun and easy to read story! I like that there’s an actual storyline happening. The romance and smut is good! I really appreciate that the smut and characters are noticeably different from one another in comparison to the other books in the series. (I feel like often times in series like these the books feel like carbon copies of one other). 

The tension between Ginger and Cole builds nicely (both in the series and in this book). They’ve known each other for a long time, so I love getting to see all the flashbacks. It really adds to their story. Maybe I’m starting to dig single dad romances??? Because OMG this was so sweet. Cole’s relationship with Mabel melts your heart and Ginger becoming closer with Mabel is equally heartwarming to read. 

It reads a little wattpady at times; there are a lot of repetitive phrases and a couple of pet names that don’t really work for me personally, but other than that it’s a really solid read and I’m excited to continue the series!

☑ Small town cowboy romance
☑ A man in uniform (and handcuffs 🤫)
☑ Best friend’s brother
☑ Single dad

“So even though I’m not in your family, I can still have your roots?” she asks. 
“Yes, babe. That’s exactly right,” I say with a smile.
