Gone Country

She’s a little bit country, and he’s…not.

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.

Rielle Wetzler has finally overcome the stigma of having hippie parents and being a young single mother. In the two years since she sold her ailing B&B to Gavin Daniels, she’s become financially stable running the homespun businesses she loves. But now Gavin is in Sundance to claim the house that’s rightfully his. Although Rielle knew this day would come, she isn’t prepared to leave the home she built for herself and her now-grown daughter. And to further complicate matters, her long-dormant libido is definitely not ready to live with this newly buff Gavin—who isn’t a cowboy, but has the take-charge attitude to prove he’s all McKay.

Sharing a roof, their troubles and their triumphs is too much temptation, and before long, Gavin and Rielle are sharing a bed. But sharing their hearts and lives forever? That’s a whole ’nother ball of wax.

Warning: Contains a feisty, independent heroine who doesn’t need a man to take care of her needs outside the bedroom and a sweet, sexy and bossy hero who’s up to the challenge of proving her wrong.

First off I love the Rough Rider Series! I haven't read any in a while but I have read quite a few (I haven't read them in order either). One thing I love about the series is the  characters are real to me- some are short, some have body image issues, some are divorced, some are older, etc. so everyone can relate. I loved this book because the main characters were my age 40ish. They have some hot steamy sex but they have issues in that department too. There's also a side story about Gavin's daughter and Boone that kind of sad but I could totally see a book of their own when they are older -I'm saying it out loud so maybe it will happen :). I couldn't put the book down and when I did I just kept thinking about them all -Gavin & Rielle as well as Sierra & Boone! Fantastic Ending.

"She'd seen that shirt on him a dozen times, and every time she whispered a little thank you to the T-shirt gods."
