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.

Book: Holding The Reins

Rating: 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Ugh! This book was absolutely amazing!

It had such a wide variety of tropes that I love, mixed into one. Making it the perfect comfort read for me.

The spice was amazing, the tension & back story with the main characters was perfect, and there was even a little bit of suspense.

I was hooked from start until finish!

Fantastic Audio Book!

Absolutely adored this book when it first came out and the audio version is just as amazing! Thomas Oakley is next level good and hearing him as Nash was the icing on the cake. Highly recommend!

LISTEN AND READ! LISTEN AND READ MY LOVES

Listen to this advise when I say “SAVE A HORSE AND RIDE A COWBOY! ESPCAILLY IF ITS NASH CARTER!”
This book was absotely WOW…just WOW! I can’t describe how i felt reading this book! okay well i can, but saddle up ladies and gentlemen it will be lengthy! ALSO.. HE CRAWLS TO HER… Just needed to state that right here and now!

The spice was exactly what i wanted but wasnt expecting. I expected cute, fun, semi closed door spice.. NOPE we got FULL SPICE! Never gonna complain about that! The story line was amazing, and just the right amount of plot where i didnt feel it was dragging at all, and thats a fear i have from time to time with short books, it would possibly speed and drag. I am so hapoy that was not the case with this story!

Our MMC Nash carter is the #1 small town book boyfriend (as of rn), and i dont say this lightly. Nash is a tall, muscled, tattoed, hockey player and part time cowboy, with past truama of a tragic passing of his parents. The protective stance he has on CeCe is amazing and powerful! He will do whatever he can to protect her and it shows really well in this book! Nash is a retired NHL star, working in a bar and is running a community group… Such a sweetheart am i right? When ever it got to his POV i just felt my body melt and blush! We needed his over protective and broody mentality.

Our FMC CeCe Ashby is a strong FMC is a firecracker and has the best squad of best friends! She moves back to her hometown after a horrible relationship and needs to start over! CeCe ends up working for Nash and she begins to feel more herself, doing a job she loves and always is afraid of the tension that is SPARKING and I mean SPARKING between Herself and Nash. Lets admit, their one night together definitely turns into more and we see that sexual storyline build. and we are HERE for IT!

USUALLY when I listen to cowboy romance books and I always fear it will sound WAY too country for me... that was NOT the case here! it was so well done! you could hear the country accent but it was so light and not overwhelming that i could listen to this in 2 days! would have been 1 but you know... school takes over from moment to moment! Anyways... Brooke Daniels and Thomas Oakley did such a great job narrating this story and once I finished I ordered the next book right away! which I'm currently listening too!

FAVORITE QUOTES

“Atta girl, such a good little slut, begging for my cum. You’re desperate for it, aren’t you?” “Yes,” I breathe out, and i am. “This perfect pussy is mine whenever I want it. Isn’t it, CeCe?” “Yes. It’s Yours.” I cry out. “Fucking Right it is.” he growls.”

“Thus has gone way beyond Fucking. I settle into the reality that I just made love to Cecilia Ashby and I’ve never felt more whole than I do right now.”

“You’re the queen I crawl to. I’ll kneel at your feet for the rest of my fucking life. Now, sit on your throne.”

Do yourselves a favour and add this to the top of your TBR AND AUDIO TBR!
