SAM
I hate my hometown.
But whether I like it or not, I’m back.
Putting me face-to-face with all the reasons I left, including the forking family I’ve been avoiding for years.

What I don’t expect to find in Fork Lick?
The woman who upended my world last year.
Making videos with my grandmother.

DIANE
I know what I’m hiding.
But the guy I left in bed after a steamy one-night stand…
I haven’t a clue what’s going on behind those Clark Kent glasses of his.

I’ve met his goofy dog Gomer, his social media-obsessed grandmother, and his sheep that lives in a palace. I know he wears a three-piece suit and a flannel shirt equally well–not to mention what he looks like underneath. I know he abruptly quit his job at that evil conglomerate.

Because of something I said.

What I can’t figure out is why he avoids his adorable, hilarious family. Or why he steers clear of their picture-perfect farm. Or what’s so wrong with cute-as-a-button Fork Lick?

I never felt at home in the Manhattan penthouse where I grew up, but I love everything about this tiny town. Including… Sam.

Problem is, no matter what his secrets are, mine are definitely worse.


My Review
I had an enjoyable time listening to the audio version of this book. The narrators, Erin Mallon and Alastair Haynesbridge really did a good job of voicing Diane and Sam. 
The chemistry between Sam and Diane is undeniable. There is a bit of an enemies to lovers vibe that does play out, but it is quickly overshadowed by forced proximity and steamy goodness. I loved that both Diane and Sam really were fighting for the same thing. 
There is another aspect of this story that is featured. That is Sam realizing that he is neurodivergent. I loved how supportive everyone was of Sam. Also, the fact that he had his dog with him that really was like a stress ball. 
I love the cheeky play on John Mellencamp's song, Jack & Diane. Only, Jack is Sam. If you are in the mood of a fun, cheeky, steamy romance, you will want to read this book.
