Spring Into Romance: Against the Wall by Rebecca Zanetti (Guest Post/Giveaway)

Welcome back to our Spring Into Romance! We're making a long weekend out of it and hope that you'll stick around for some more fun on a picnic! Please give a warm welcome to our next guest, author Rebecca Zanetti!

An Unexpected Picnic on the Beach

I’d like to say a big thank-you to Crystal and the gang at Reading Between the Wines for letting me play here today.  They suggested I talk about picnics, and I instantly flashed back to college and a fun picnic I had on the beach.  I went to Pepperdine, which is in Malibu and near the ocean.

So, a bunch of friends and I were at a restaurant (it was called C&P’s at that time), and one of them had other friends from USC there.  We all had a drink and had some fun.  Soon and I walked out the door with one friend because we were making plans for jogging the next day.  I went back inside.  The entryway to C&P’s was a bit odd since it had two phones – and they were on opposing sides of the vestibule.  As I walked back in, one rang.

Seriously.  How odd is that?

So, being the curious type, I picked it up.  This sweet guy from USC asked how I was doing, and if I’d like to go for a picnic.  I turned, and he was on the other phone.

How clever is that?

So, we grabbed to-go boxes and walked out to the ocean (just in front of the restaurant.)  No, I didn’t take off with a strange guy.  Our friends were all up on the deck.

But man, it was fun.  And as the sun settled, a gorgeous sunset colored the sky.  He was a good guy, and we actually ended up being pretty good friends.  In fact, I ultimately set him up with the friend I went jogging with, and now they have four kids.  Life is good.

In AGAINST THE WALL, city-girl Sophie Smith has to ride a horse to view the land and ends up having a picnic with cowboy Jake Lodge, who she’s trying to convince to back her plan.  The picnic is romantic, but they’re locked in a Hepburn/Tracey situation.  How fun is that?

So, let me ask you this:  Have you ever been on a picnic, and if so, how was it?


I’d like to give away an AGAINST THE WALL coffee mug and spiral notebook to one randomly chosen commenter here.  There’s also an overall blog tour prize of a Kindle Fire that will go to one lucky commenter.  Have a fantastic week!

Never challenge a cowboy in the courtroom…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 suddenly—and quite literally—swept off her feet by a sexy cowboy on horseback, she realizes that the country life has some serious (and seriously steamy!) possibilities. That is, until she finds out exactly who her smokin’-hot wrangler really is.Cowboy and Tribal lawyer Jack Lodge is desperately trying to block the development. And if that means playing hardball—and being every inch the shark lawyer—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 the exquisite temptation, the consequences will shake the foundations of both of their lives…
