Surveying the proposed site for a high-end golf course should have been a breeze for spunky landscape architect Sophie Smith. But when this born-and-bred city girl is literally swept off her feet by a sexy cowboy on horseback, she realizes country life has some serious (and seriously steamy) possibilities. That is, until she finds out exactly who her smoking hot wrangler really is.Tribal lawyer … is.
Tribal lawyer Jake Lodge is desperately trying to block the development. And if that means playing hardball, so be it. But Sophie is a distraction he didn’t expect. A distraction that makes his blood burn. Two different worlds. Two opposing sides. And when they finally give into temptation, the consequences will shake the foundations of both of their lives…

Against the Wall gave me one more reason to never turn down the chance to read a book by Rebecca Zanetti! Sophia (or Sophie as she prefers) is a fantastic artist whose job is to design alluring golf courses and her latest client wants her to convince the Native tribe to allow them to break ground on her plan. It should be an easy enough thing to …
I really enjoyed this book.
I loved the first meeting. Being swept off your feet by a hunky cowboy!! This is exactly what romance books are about. I loved the banter between the brothers even though in the beginning it came across as a little creepy.
The main characters were wonderful to read. They both were very opinionated but yet the …
This was a steamy, easy read with a hot cowboy/lawyer and a cute city girl artist. Jake is the tribal lawyer fighting to ensure that the golf course that Sophie is designing and in town to pitch to the city council for their approval.
The chemistry is hot and the story is a short easy read. A little suspense, a little romance, a lot of hot …
Because I just read the 2nd book in the series, I ABSOLUTELY had to go back and read the first! Lol. I adored Sophie, she is smart and talented. Jake Lodge, the eldest of the Lodge brothers is an intense, alpha loving, hot sex scenes and totally smitten by Sophie, lawyer. Some action and the town’s matchmakers make for an engaging read. 4 …
I adore Rebecca zanetti books but I couldn’t put this down. It drew me in and wouldn’t let go
Awesome read.
I liked the story and the writing. I ordered more from this author. Definitely a HEA romance with some hot sex. Not a dark romance; a sweet one with believable conflicts to resolve.

Against the wall
Sophie takes off to Maverick Montana in hopes of convincing the locals that her golf course design will be perfect for the land behind the lake. However, as soon as Sophie arrives…other than an encounter with some cowboys and some rejections with regards the project, she falls in love with the town as the people draw her in …
Sophie is out in the forest making notes for her golf course design when she first meets Jake. He literally sweeps her off her feet onto his horse. Yes sir, I’d ride that cowboy! The tension between Sophie and Jake is positively mesmerizing, and not just the sexual tension (which is pretty freakin’ phenomenal). There is also a large amount of …
I first read and reviewed AGAINST THE WALL in 2014 and when the publisher put the title up on Net Galley, I grabbed it! As I read, I remembered how awesome the story was and how wonderful it made me feel.
Jake and Sophie have amazing chemistry together. Sophie is helpless against the hunky cowboy! The supporting cast are amazing! The townspeople …
I am not usually a fan of “cowboy” romances, but I really enjoyed this one. I thought that the characters were real, as was the small-town/tribal feeling of family and togetherness. I liked the double entendre of the title (Sophie references it to Jake in terms of their relations, but it also applies to how Sophie feels about her job and what she …
Against the Wall by Rebecca Zanetti a five-star read that goes well above par. This will have you smiling so hard at times, the attraction and passion the characters show makes the story. Jake just has a way himself that will make you drool. This may have been my first read by this author, but it wont be the last.
Amazing book. This is a great start for the new series. It is a greatly written story with great characters all wrapped in a beautiful book. Jake and Sophie’s story is unique and full of passion. They are both very likable and easy to fall in love. From start to beginning they start a dance of attraction which later explodes in hot flames. In this …
This book starts out with a startling opening scene. Action right from the start. I was almost as surprised as Sophie.
I also enjoyed this story even more than I hoped to. Of course, Rebecca Zanetti is an author that I look for because I have enjoyed so many of her books. I’m so happy that this one didn’t disappoint me either. I really …
Landscape Architect Sophie Smith is sent to Montana to survey the proposed land for a golf course and convince the tribal members of the Kooskia tribe that the course will not harm the land. Fairly straightforward, but Sophie quickly finds it is anything but. Meeting tribal lawyer Jake Lodge completely puts Sophie off kilter, not only because he …
So many of these books are formula written. They are light reading for the most part. When you get into books starting with #1,you can bet they’re all the same story with different names. I will not buy cliffhangers and will pay more for a book with a completed tale by an author I admire then have to read 8 books to get the full story. That being …
Fantastic from the very beginning!
It is always great when problems worked out
