Training the Heart

Silver Pines Ranch Series, Book 2

De: Paisley Hope

Narrado por: Brooke Daniels, Thomas Oakley

In this steamy cowboy romance, a grumpy ranch owner and a sunny horse trainer must learn to work together—the second novel in the Silver Pines Ranch series.

Wade Ashby doesn't let anyone in. With the death of his father and his failed marriage, plus the weight of the family business on his shoulders, Wade has plenty to deal with. He thrives on being the one constant and steady thing in his family's life and on their ranch, Silver Pines.

Ivy Spencer knows two things for certain: Animals make better friends than people, and she can only count on herself. After a turbulent childhood and a string of bad luck since, Ivy is excited to start fresh at Silver Pines Ranch and live out her dream of training a racehorse en route to the Kentucky Derby.

Wade needs help on the ranch, but with two entirely different views on how to train his star horse, it makes absolutely no sense why he allows her to stay on. She's chaos, and he's control, but it doesn't take long for the levee to break and their passion to ignite.

Hot Brooding Cowboy

I absolutely adored this audiobook and the irresistible grumpy x sunshine dynamic between Wade and Ivy. Wade begins as guarded and reserved, while Ivy bursts onto the scene with unwavering determination and sharp wit, matching him at every turn. Watching them confront their pasts and ultimately surrender to their undeniable chemistry was incredibly satisfying. Brooke Daniels and Thomas Oakley did a phenomenal job capturing both the tenderness and passion in their relationship, perfectly embodying their dynamic. If a brooding yet undeniably hot cowboy is your type, this is a must listen!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

Well this was fun! I was not expecting things to escalate so quickly, but I’m not one to complain. (Though I would have liked a tad more tension and yearning). I wanted to give Ivy a hug too though. I’d have gone with Wade to end her ex.

Spicy but tender

Spicy but tender, Wade shows his strength not only as a loving man, but as a protector, and a fighter as to what he believes in. Ivy is a strong, independent woman who doesn’t believe she needs protection, but the thing that needs protected most of all is her heart.

Training the Heart

I really enjoyed this book and the way Paisley Hope tells stories. Looking forward to reading book three when it comes out.

Amazing

This was just perfection. The voice actors really brought this story to life and made it even better.

Loved it

If Paisley writes it I’m going to read it. Wade is one grumpy cowboy with a filthy mouth. I was here for every moment of it. Wade and Ivy had an undeniable connection and I loved their story. Also I love ivy is a audiobook girly and loved to read spicy romances. I can’t wait to jump into book 3.

Sooo spicy!

Grumpy/Sunshine for the win!!!

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ spice
It seems like once they had sex the first time it never ended after that 😅

This couple was perfect for eachother! I loved the FMC personality. The MMC truly met his match with her and they just fit together perfectly!

The spice was spicing!!!

I think I have found my new favorite male narrator. Holy smokes is his voice hot. Add to how hot Wade is and I’m a goner. If the series keeps going like this it’ll beat out the infamous chestnut springs for best cowboy romances. Must read!!!

Take me to Silver Pines

Does anyone know where in Kentucky the Silver Pines Ranch is? I've got my bags packed. 
Wade Ashby is book husband material. The grumpy and closed off cowboy is just a façade because when he lets Ivy in OH MY GOSH **FIREWORKS**. 
Ivy has been hurt but she is moving on and choosing herself. The first step is getting the horse trainer position at Silver Pines. And when her boss just happens to be the most gorgeous man she has ever seen...it's fine, she's fine, everything is fine, she can ignore the underlying sexual tension and butterflies every time she is in his proximity. 
Wade never stood a chance, the moment Ivy walked onto his ranch he was done for. She's gorgeous, friendly, brilliant and so much more but she's off limits to everyone. Wade can't chance scaring off the new horse trainer. With every interaction and every glimpse, it brings him closer and closer to making a move...because Ivy Spencer is Trouble with a capital T and she's his favorite kind.

This is EPIC…Ivy & Wade are EPIC!!!

This is my first 2025 read and I fear that other books will not meet the bar that this book just set for the year!
The story has the perfect amount of love care, mental health representation, grief representation, healthy communication, no third act breakup, and…the SPICE was SPICING 🔥🔥🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
The performances of the narrators is TOP tier and I binged this story in one day!
All I can say is…..MERCY
