"GONE COUNTRY is a breath of fresh air to an already invigorating series!"

Fresh Fiction Review

Gone Country

Reviewed by Annie Tegelan

Erotic

Lorelei James surprised readers with the presence of a long lost Mckay in Gavin Daniels, an Arizona businessman. Gavin is divorced with a teenage daughter named Sierra. When Sierra has a recent brush with trouble, Gavin takes no chances and moves them to Wyoming where he hopes to fit into his newly discovered family, the McKays. Though different in tone from the rest of the Rough Riders books, James still maintains the high level of sexual tension and chemistry that is sure to blow reader's heads off!

Rielle Wetzler is a single mother herself and knows the difficulties that Gavin is currently going through. Two years ago, Rielle sold her B&B to Gavin, but when Gavin and his daughter move in to claim what is rightfully theirs, she feels reluctant to leave the home she has built for herself here. Gavin and Reille decide to share the house for the time being, and that puts them in very close quarters with one another. Will the attraction between them burn out before they act upon their desires?

One of my favorite things about this series is the focus on family. Throughout the Rough Riders series, James incorporates richly nuanced characters into a familial unit that makes it so easy for readers to fall in love with them. However, with Gavin, he is an outsider looking in so the whole book is a different perspective on the beloved McKay and West family. It acts like a breath of fresh air to an already invigorating series.

There is a lot of emphasis on the parent- daughter relationship between Gavin and his daughter, Sierra and Rielle and her daughter, Rory. As two single parents hoping to explore this newly discovered passion, they not only have to take into consideration their own feelings, but also the feelings of their children. It's an interesting dynamic and one I enjoyed reading. You can see the immense character growth and I thought it was lovely that Gavin finally found his place of comfort in the McKay family.

GONE COUNTRY is the one rare case where the romance sparkles just as much as the sex sizzles!

SUMMARY

Arizona businessman and long-lost McKay love child Gavin Daniels has been awarded sole custody of his teenage daughter Sierra for one year. In order to steer Sierra back on track after a brush with the law, he pulls up stakes and heads to Wyoming, looking for support from his ranching family…even if he isn’t sure where they fit in the McKay dynamic. He’s prepared for every contingency with the move: the less-than-enthusiastic response from his daughter, learning to run his corporation remotely, but he’s thrown for a loop when his new housemate, Rielle, is a whole lot sexier, funnier and sassier than he remembered
