Finalizing the details on 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 Jake Lodge will do whatever it takes to block the development. 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…
Each book in the Maverick Montana series is a standalone story that can be enjoyed out of order.

From the moment they first meet, Jake Lodge sweeps Sophie Smith completely off her feet. Literally not figuratively. A hot lawyer/rancher is hard to resist but Sophie gives it her best shot in Against the Wall.

I was introduced to Rebecca Zanetti’s writing with The Dark Protectors, so when I read she was starting another project my interest was piqued. I started seeing teasers for Against the Wall and saw it was a cowboy type story. I wasn’t really into that genre never have been. Then I saw something on F ...more

ARC by NetGallery for an honest review
One of the sexist beginnings to a book I have ever read. One minute city lawyer Sophie is in a deserted forest, the next she is on a horse with a sexy cowboy with only a second of warning.
"A cowboy.

Rebecca is here to stay. She has already mastered the paranormal genre and with this latest release she proves that she can write anything.
Whether it's vamps or cowboys her books can stand with the best of them.
Rebecca is just an all around incredible writer and I look forward to reading everythin ...more

I read this book a couple years ago and quickly devoured (and adored) the entire series. So, when I saw this book on amazon for $2.99, I didn't hesitate to one-click-buy the little bugger.
And it was almost as amazing as I remember, although not quite the five star I previously had it rat ...more
