For Fork's Sake: A Rivals-to-Lovers Romantic Comedy

Sam and Diane, the perfect reference for a Karen Grey book. Well if you're old enough to have watched Cheers that is or just really enjoy the 80's. Samuel Daniel Bedd is ready to mend fences, start doing good for farmers even if he can't get his family to listen. Only one problem Sam is not a good listener or a patient thinker. The catalyst for all this change, Diane who he cozies up to one night and then comes face to face with the next morning on the opposite side of an important hearing. Nine months later by chance Sam is being transfered back to his home town area and Diane has been videoing his families farm. Sparks fly but not all good ones. Kissing happens. Some of it more like a tongue bath, meet Gomer a failed Medical Assistant Dog, who unknowingly has become Sam's calm, his patience and his ice breaker. The Bedd Family stories have made sure to bring up important issues that effect everyday people, every day. ADHD and Autism are subjects well handled in Sam and Diane's book.

I really enjoyed this rivals-to-enemies love story! Sam and Diane meet one evening at a hotel bar where they have an instant connection, leading to a night of passion. They really like each other but the next morning changes everything. Now, one year later, they are both in the same small town, on the same side of their agriculture devotion. Sam is excited to see Diane, but she is still hurt by his betrayal. This story had the perfect balance of humor, heart, and heat and I enjoyed every minute!

Set in Fork Lick ( I just love the name) For Fork’s Sake is Dam and Dianne’s story and it ticked all the boxes for me. From the first chapter to the last I was invested in the story that Ms. Grey wove. Sam’s grandmother and the Bedd family are such quirky and engaging characters, add in a dog named Gomer and hang on for the fun. Fate often works in mysterious ways when Sam and Diane reconnect and their journey is rocky.
