Skylar need a change, and moving out of the big city is his chance, with the help of some friends, including rancher and businessman Kit. But there's something about Skylar that really appeals to Kit, and for the first time in his life he is attracted to a man, and might have found another lifelong love.
From the Gone Country blurb:
I kissed a man while drunk on mezcal. This is fine.
I’ve got a thriving dude ranch, a growing empire, and a son who keeps me grounded. Sure, my land manager and my ex-wife won’t stop nagging me about my busted knee, but I can handle a little pain.
What I can’t handle? This inconvenient attraction to my new male friend.
Skylar—who just left his sugar baby days behind—is launching a mobile orthopedic practice out here in the Texas Hill Country. I offered to help because I’m a good guy and a sharp businessman. Not because he’s gorgeous, funny, and the only person who can get me to admit my knee is an absolute disaster.
It gets a whole lot harder to lie to myself after I kiss him. That wasn't just the mezcal talkin', and I lose a little bit more of my grip on reality every time I think about it.
Now, I can’t stop wishing we’d gone further—and my “straight” identity is looking more questionable by the second.
I can manage multiple businesses, interfering employees, and the occasional runaway giraffe. But falling for a man might just be the thing that cracks my cowboy exterior.
Gone Country is a friends-to-lovers, existential crisis romance featuring a stubborn cowboy with a failing grip on his “straight” identity, the flirty nurse practitioner he can’t stop thinking about, and a well-meaning friend who picks the worst possible moment to walk in.
SNik's review:
Third in series (Central Texas), best if read in order. Opposites attract. Friends to lovers. Found family. Slow burn. Dual POV.

Skylar moves away from the city and his former sugar baby lifestyle and with some help from Kit he decides to embark on a new business for himself while opening up the possibility of something more with Kit. So, busy and successful businessman and dude rancher Kit wants to easily understand being attracted to Skylar, but his identity has been wrapped up in being a father and ex-husband for his whole life.
This story is a sweet slide from friends with attraction to exploring something more, and Skylar is the epitome of patience and understanding as Kit experiences some personal hurdles along the way. There is something about finding a new path for yourself whether it be personal or professional that is inspiring and really that much better when supported by friends and family. I enjoyed all of Kit and Skylar’s interactions, and the cameos from this series and some of the author’s other books, and the ease in which love and family can be found for two generous men.
Heather's Review:
Can someone gently find their sexual awakening? In Gone Country, Kelly Fox answers that in the affirmative. For me, Kit gives off some pretty strong demi vibes, as he also slowly unwraps his queer side and accepts his attraction for Sky.
Sky is such a sweet, confident guy in everything except his love life... but the way he wades through his past and begins to embrace a future with Kit is beautiful to watch...
This book combines strong chemistry with a slowly building flame and great side characters - lots of cameos and a balanced friends to lovers story that will melt your heart.
