Holy hotness Jake Lodge! Great start to this series set in Montana and the Lodge family. Sophie has come to town, her job is to "sell" the town on the new golf course she designed along with some development around the course. The Kooksia tribe (and most of the town) doesn't want the course near the lake. Sophie meets Jake while wandering in the woods, almost getting mowed down by his horse, he swoops down and grabs her, hauls her onto his horse and keeps riding. Soon his brothers catch up, Sophie is a little nervous until sister Dawn comes riding up, happy to have shot some great photos of Jake on his horse. Lots of push and pull between the two and when she's set to meet with the tribal heads who walks in but Jake. Jake is an attorney as well as his seat on the tribal council.
There's quite a few dynamics in this story, between calls that Sophie gets from home and Jake's past.
The relationship between the story held the story together really well. Great story with two characters who work out their stuff, a little suspense and a great set up for the series.

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 chemistry burned to hot to ignore.

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 small town, Sophie first time feels accepted, and the people accept her with open arms. At first, she sees Jake actions like work against her but that is just Jakes way to protect the one he loves. I hope the other brothers and sister have an as great book as was this one.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for Netgelly

I received an advanced reader's copy of Against the Wall by Rebecca Zanetti from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I have read other novels by Rebecca Zanetti previously so I did have expectations for a solid read and, happily, was not let down by Against the Wall.

Overall, I enjoyed this novel and I found it to be well written. The primary characters' romantic start seemed a little unbelievable (not a meet-cute...sort of a meet-awkward), but it improved quickly. Also, I enjoyed the primary and secondary characters' interactions and the steamy scenes were hot. A fun, quick read!

Who doesn't everyone love a Cowboy ? Well here the author introduces a whole family of single, gorgeous Cowboys and to start with she gives us Jake the lawyer. Jake's a single dad looking out for his family and tribe when he quite literally sweeps more than a handful off her feet !
Sophie has a job to do and that's to get her plans for a golf course approved so she hasn't got time for any sexy shenanigans with the guy whose determined to stop her or has she ?
This was a sexy straightforward read about a lonely woman finally finding out just where she belongs. I loved that this family are native American as it added a touch I hadn't expected. I particularly enjoyed the way everyone was there for each other. I did think Sophie was a pushover at times but when faced with such a controlling alpha male as Jake who could blame her ? Fun, sexy and sweet as well and definitely a story to make me smile.
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested from Netgalley and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fai

WHEW!!! The title says it all. He always had her against the wall! I loved every bit of this book. He was so alpha but such a great guy. I loved the family and her dreams and how she talked to Bob. I loved the ending where he was so scared. But, it all turns out good. Rebecca gives us the HEA I love. Another great story!!!

This was an enjoyable read that had me trying to figure things out before they happened, which I like. The suspense was great, the insta-love thing not so much. The conversations between the characters were a little confusing, as in it was hard to figure out who was actually speaking. And as nice as jake seemed, he sure didn’t spend much time with his daughter which was not a good thing in my eyes. I think Leila needed to be more present and involved. Over all, a nice read.

Sexy and hot!!! I loved this book!. Jake is the sexy and commanding tribal lawyer who is a protector at heart and literally sweeps Sophie off her feet. She is there to design and gain approval for a golf course, while Jake is representing the tribe in opposing it. Despite being on opposite sides, the sparks fly between them and practically ignited the pages of my kindle.

I loved the characters in this novel and how the author wove a back story for each of them that added depth to the story and made it feel real. I found myself invested in their story and wanting them to get their HEA ending.

If you enjoy the genre, you will love this book. The author is on my must read authors' list.
