Wow, I was completely swept away from the very first chapter of Rising Assets by Rebecca Zanetti.  The story kept me riveted to the edge of my seat and as a result, I finished it very quickly.Melanie Jacobs truly enjoys ranching and would love to solve her financial problems in order to manage her ranch full-time.  However, life is fraught with difficulties and set-backs, so in order to make ends meet, she works two jobs in addition to her ranching duties.  She is tired, has a lot on her plate and in addition, if she ever wants to have a baby she has to act now.  Luckily, her two dearest friends from childhood, Colton Freeze and Hawk are around to lend an ear and help out from time to time.  However, Melanie is an independent, single woman that likes to take care of things on her own. Asking for assistance is not typically in her vocabulary.Colton is a successful businessman that wears many hats.  Not only is he gorgeous, Colt is highly educated, runs the financial end of his family's ranch business and is in the process of starting-up a fitness chain, along with Melanie and Hawk. However, a bad investment along the way may deter some of his plans, which Colt is having trouble dealing with because he is the consummate planner of all time.Hawk is a military man and a trained sniper.  Each time he returns from a deployment, he has hardened just a little bit more.  He knows that Melanie and Colt belong together as more than just best friends.  In fact, he is the silent organizer of a bet that is going around town regarding the impending love between them.When Melanie and Colt finally give in to their desires, the entire sky lights up.  The sex is scorching and Colt is a true alpha male.  He is always in charge in the bedroom and much to her surprise, Melanie is loving it.  Their time together is more than just a romp in the hay, it is love. Ms. Zanetti rocks each and every sex scene to the highest level of heat.I really enjoyed this book. To begin with, Colt's family was loving and supportive, which added a lot of emotion to the story. Melanie and Colt are extremely likeable, have great chemistry and challenge each other in the most extraordinary ways. I immediately connected to them as individuals and as a couple. The sex scenes are passionate and hot. This is a brilliant book, complete with great characters, a plot that twists and turns in all the right places, and above all else, a passionate love story.
