Never challenge a cowboy in the courtroom…
Synopsis
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 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…
Review
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 do as this golf course will bring in jobs and tourists. However, the tribe isn't having it and Jake Lodge is just the lawyer to make their meaning clear. He's all man and he commands attention, whether he's sporting dusty cowboy gear or rocking an Armani suit. Butting heads and swatting at irresistible temptation, Sophie has no intention of backing down, no matter how much she wants to submit.This was an easy, romantic read with tiny bits of small town drama and intriguing side characters to liven things up. I can already tell that some of these characters, Jake's brothers especially, are going to feature in books to come and I'm glad that this isn't the last I'll see of any of them. I fell in love with this family's dynamic! As easy as a read as this was... I had issues with the female lead. Sophie was strong and spunky, but I wasn't a fan of her irrationality. She pushed and pushed with flimsy excuses and one part in particular (potential pregnancy) turned the tide on my affection for her. However, it was all resolved fairly quickly and with a little suspenseful surprise, I got my happy ending and a special little epilogue.
