Montana Mavericks: a hot cowboy collection by Rebecca Zanetti

Against the Wall:

My Review.....

Sophie only wants to build the golf course she’s designed. But she’s got to convince half the tribe that live on that land it won’t destroy the beauty of the lake, and the rest of the town that it won’t destroy the quiet. Easy! Not in the slightest! And it doesn’t help that the hot shot lawyer is gorgeous! She just needs to help her uncle and then she’s back to the big city. But the more time she spends in Montana, the harder it is to convince herself.....

Jake doesn’t want a golf course anywhere near his home. What he does want is the sexy designer sent out to sell the idea to his grandfather and the town. But he knows she’s ok you here for a short time. So he needs to either get rid of the gorgeous distraction or make a permanent play for her.....

it’s a hot story filled with family and home.

My Review.....

Juliet is new in town, and she loves it here, the small community feel like hone, they feel safe, and she’s not felt safe in a long time. Opening an art gallery is a dream come true, and now she has an artist to show, things are looking up. But she’s always keeping her eye out for trouble! And also the sexy sherif....

My Reviews......

I really enjoyed them all. Hot and sexy like most of the authors reads.

I love Rebecca’s other series that she’s written, so when you put an alpha male in a cowboy hat and boots, then I’m there.

I was hoping that all the siblings would be in this collection. Sadly the baby sister’s book wasn’t included!

My favourite in the set, probably Quinn and Juliet, it had intrigue and just a little more content. But it’s a great Boxset regardless.

The Lodge-Freeze men are pure alpha. They are dominant and sexy as sin. These are three hot steamy hard to put down stories. Once they have the women they want in their sights they let nothing stand on their way. The small town drama just adds to the fun and excitement as they try to capture the hearts of their mate. This is a series that will surely hook you in and have you wanting more from this wonderful and prolific author.

This is an omnibus edition that contains the first three books in Rebecca Zanetti's Maverick Montana series. Each book follow's one of three brother's: Luke, Quinn, and Colton, finding an HEA. If you like romantic suspense, hot alpha cowboys, and strong, feisty female leads, then I would definitely pick this one up. With each book centered around one of the brothers, in the town of Maverick Montana, there's a sense of family and community with each book which lends to great supporting characters that add levity and humor to the books as well. I really like Rebecca Zanetti's writing style and her romance is hot and scorching the pages, definitely worth the read.

Montana Maverick is a mind up of three cowboy romances by Rebecca Zanetti. Each following one of three brothers as they find their happily ever after.

Book 1
Against the Wall

I enjoyed this one it wasn't anything too unique, your typical City Girl meets cowboy opposites attract romance. It follows cowboy single dad lawyer Jack ( haha that was a mouthful) who meets City Girl Sophie when she comes to his tribe for permission to build a golf course. Her career is riding on this job and Jack has to convince her it's not a good idea. She tries to ignore her attraction because they are not working for a common goal. They are from two different worlds and as their passion heats up she risks losing her heart .

Jack is forward and a bit arrogant when it comes to his interactions with Sophie. He is a total cave man, but he's a great dad to his daughter and that's when he shows the soft side. Sophie is determined and headstrong and stubborn. The story was enjoyable even if it was a bit predictable, but I love me a good cowboy romance, so I was more than ok with that especially because I just genuinely enjoy Rebecca Zanetti's writing style. It helped that the steam between Jack and Sophie was on point. They couldn't keep their hands off each other and there are plenty of intimate scenes outside and against walls. 🔥


Book 2
Under the Covers

On top of having a much more action packed ending than the first, this one brings us a fake relationship trope between art gallery owner Juliet whose living in a lie and Quinn her landlord / the sheriff. Juliet doesn't have the money to cover the rent for her gallery and Quinn needs a girlfriend to help him run for office. The two come to an agreement that benefits them both and it's a reason to give into the chemistry between them . Unfortunately it isn't long before her past catches up to her and her lies are forced into the open.

I'm not surprised Quinn is just as alpha male and dominate his brother from the first book. He's takes control over every situation, in and out of the bedroom. His soft spot is in the form of the innocent members of his community. Juliet was a decent character, I just found her frustrating. I really felt she should have trusted him with her secrets way sooner . Once again the chemistry and passion between the main characters was off the charts !🔥

Book 3
Over the Top

This series has gotten better with each book. This one follows the youngest brother Colton and his best friend Melanie. Melanie wants to have a baby and because of endometriosis she's having to confront that problem now instead of later in her life. Colton has just noticed that he has more than friend like feelings for Melanie, but he's not ready to be a dad. Yet, she can't slow down her pursuit to get pregnant while he figures things out. She's running out of time, and he doesn't like that thought of her being pregnant with someone else's child. Can they handle having a physical relationship without it ruining the friendship they have built.

I think Colton is my favorite of the brothers. While he is headstrong and focused he is a bit less of an alpha brute than his older brothers. That doesn't mean he isn't just as dominating in the bedroom because he definitely takes control when it comes to the intimate relationship with Melanie. I adored Melanie, my heart hurt for her fertility struggles and it was so apparent she would make a wonderful mother. I loved how she pushed Coltons buttons and always challenged him, in and out of the bedroom.🔥


All in all, Montana Mavericks contains three solid cowboy romances. However, I do wish that their sister Dawn's book was included in this bind up because I really want to read it! I guess I'll go one click lol

::Will be posted to my Blog on March 30th::

Against the wall 4*

Sophie is a landscape designer and is surveying a proposed site when she is literally swept off her feet by a sexy cowboy on horseback, who is also the lawyer opposing the project she is working on. Being involved with each other is a bad idea on many levels but their attraction is not one to be denied.
This was a hot, sexy and fast moving read. The chemistry between them was off the charts hot and their romance hotter.

Under the covers 5*

Quinn and Juliet have been dancing around each other for some time now. But she is hiding a secret that stops her from giving in to their attraction.
Quinn needs to re run for his position as Sheriff, and needs to socialize for it. To avoid the advances of the Mayors niece, Quinn gets Juliet to pretend to be his girlfriend. And soon the pretend turns real. But when Juliets secret gets revealed, how will they deal with that ?
The chemistry between Quinn and Juliet is off the charts hot. It is a fun, sexy read with some tense and action packed moments that keep you hooked.


Rising Assets 4*

Melanie and Colton have been best friends since childhood, and seeing Melanie working 3 jobs, Colton knows he needs to do something only what he doesn’t know.
A kiss during a heated argument has them seeing each other as more than friends and brings forth the attraction they have been trying to ignore.
I really enjoyed this book, it was funny, hot and a page turner. I enjoyed the banter between Melanie and Colton and Melanie’s Sassiness. Overall a well written and entertaining read.

I love a good series with a family as the main characters linking the books together. Family squabbles, siblings banter, and all those pent-up petty crimes that can be unleashed in revenge in adulthood!

Against the Wall - Sophie just wants to get her golf course built. She didn't expect so much co-ordinated opposition! She sure as heck didn't expect to fall for the oppositions Lawyer, the handsome, intelligent but oh so Alpha, Jake. He comes with an added extra, his cute as a button daughter who is way ahead of the rest of the pack and so good at manipulating people LOL.

Under the Covers- Juliet is keeping secrets and Quinn, the town's Sheriff, just can't let go until he knows what this damn tempting woman is hiding. But when her secrets come home to roost he may just wish he had kept a lid on his curiosity.

Rising Assets - Melanie and Colton have been friends pretty much since they were tots. But they are both too scared to cross that line into romance. But when her hopes to start a family are diminishing in front of her, will her buddy step up and help or will he cower in the friend zone?

Second chance love, love on the run, friend to lovers - there is something for everyone to enjoy!

Three Hot Books in One Awesome Collection!! Sign Me Up! Montana Mavericks is a fabulous collection of hot alpha males and the women they’ll do anything for.

Montana Mavericks gives you not one, not two, but three scorching hot love stories. I found each story to well written and entertaining. I fell in love with the characters instantly and couldn’t wait to read more. Each story is filled with love, romance, and the importance of family and friends. Each story also had its own blend of danger and intrigue. From undeniable chemistry to will they/won’t they moments with alpha heroes and their strong female leads, this collection of books checked all of my boxes and at the end of the day, it left me with a huge smile on my face.

If you’re looking for a steamy collection of books to wrap yourself in this winter, that you can easily devour in a single sitting, I highly recommend giving this collection a try.

Love this book compilation. Ms. Zasneeti is one of my favorite all-time authors and once again she does not disappoint. A must-read... Against the Wall- 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, the lawyer. Some action and the town's matchmakers make for an engaging read. 4 Sunshine stars****Under the Covers-This was a wonderful read by my favorite go-to-author, Ms. Zanetti. Anyways in classic Zanetti style, we have Quinn the local Sheriff, and Juliet the woman with a secret that she cannot divulge. Loved it! Full of hot alpha-loving, suspense, action, and no need to read the first book to understand this story, I fell in love with these two. Though I did think that Quinn was being a bit too hard on Juliet, I mean what she did wasn't that bloody awful and she did try to resist him for months because of that very reason. I mean, cut the girl a bit of slack, Lol. All in all a great read...Yay! 4 solid stars****Rising Assets-Melanie and Colton, a friend to lover romance that has been brewing for years...thought they both went their separate ways in the end when Colton returns home he is awakened to see that his best friend is the woman he should be with all along. Loved it! 4 stars

Sigh...The only complaint that I have about this 3 book collection is that it's missing book 4. I enjoyed these stories of the Lodge/Freeze family in Maverick Montana so much! I am going to have to get my hands on the 4th book. I am new to Rebecca's books and am definitely going to read more now!

Three great books, each the story of one of three brothers who are Kooskia and live in Montana. Will they get to keep the women they fall for, as they find that love doesn't run smoothly and they can't always get their own way.

Can't wait for their sister Dawn's story.

If you are a fan of sexy Alpha male romances - this collection is definitely for you. It also features three heroes who are of Native American descent and takes place almost entirely on their land in Montana. Their family and community is incredibly close-knit and plays a big role in each story. The books included in this collection were originally released a few years ago - and you can sort of feel some of the age of them - but they hold up! I was strongly reminded of a Kris Michaels or Susan Stoker type of story in each. I also appreciated that as we moved through each story - that they weren't all set within months of each other. The first two are set pretty close in time - but the third is a few years later (and if you can't stand not finishing a series and you read the fourth one separately - you'll find it a little farther along in time.

Bossy Heros? Check. Sassy Heroines who can take care of themselves? Check. Cute kids, awesome family, and fun community? Check.

I recommend this collection if you need an escape this winter!

I will say - I am not as knowledgeable about Native American culture as I should be - and this series - while involving Native American people did not dig too deeply into that culture and includes all white heroines. It would have been nice to see more of that culture. Also - the family involved here is very well off and "owns half of Montana." I always appreciate a rich alpha hero romance fantasy - but that is perhaps not a true representation of most Native Americans in the US.

I received this as an ARC from NetGalley, but these opinions are all my own.

Rebecca Zanetti’s collection of previously published books from the Montana Mavericks series was quite the treat to have three of the four of the stories under one cover. Ms Zanetti’s men define what an alpha male is, while the female characters are larger than life with their strengths and independence...yet don’t have an issue with knowing that at times having a partner to lean on doesn’t make you weak.

Each story follows the Lodge-Freeze men through the roads taken in finding...or recognizing...the women who only make them stronger. Each page nearly turns itself as passion, sensuality, and romance weaves throughout each story. While at the same time there was an element of danger and intrigue that kept the stories engrossing.

Now that I’ve read Jake/Sophie, Quinn/Juliette, and Colton/Melanie’s stories I’m definitely needing to find and read Hawk and Dawn’s story.

This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher and NetGalley. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

Montana Mavericks by R. Zanetti, published by Entangled Publishing LLC, is a collection and contains the first three books in this series.

Sophie is a city girl, works as designer and is in rural somewhere to show her plans for a golfcourse.
Jake is a single dad, native american and the tribe's lawyer. He's an alpha hero through and through. He shouldn't like his opponent, but their attraction is pretty high.
A fast paced, drama filled, action packed read that had me in suspense till the last page, 5 stars.

Under the Covers is Quinn and Juliet's story.
Quinn is the second oldest brother, an ex SEAL, now the town's Sheriff, annnd landlord to Juliet.
Juliet is a gallery owner, rather new in town, and she keeps secrets close to her. Secrets that are about to bring great danger to the Mavericks.

Rising Assets is Colton and Melanie's story.
Colton is fresh from college and meets his childhood best friend, Melanie. She works as waitress at a bar , what he strongly dislikes.
Rising Assets is a friends - to- lovers story, well written, with lovable characters. A great read, a fantastic collection, I loved reading this books , 5 stars.

This collection was really good, each story was filled was humour, family, attitude and sexy scenes. The men were arrogant, stubborn, bossy but loving and loyal. The women were fierce, strong minded and unwilling to take the crap these men throw at them. Really enjoyable, so much I went and purchased book 4 in the series
