Synopsis
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 to 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.
Thoughts
Book one in the Silver Pines Ranch series marks a strong romance debut for author Paisley Hope. I could not resist the pink cowgirl boots on the cover of this book. I enjoyed CeCe and Nash’s love story. I adore a good small-town romance. Involve a brother’s best friend, and I love that even more. I am so glad that I picked this up because now I have a new cowboy romance series to look forward to!
