For Fork's Sake: A Deliciously Entertaining RomanceBook Description
SAM
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.
About Karen Grey
KAREN GREY is a USA Today bestselling and award-winning author of vintage romantic comedies with smart heroines and hunky heroes. Drawing on a long career as a performer, her retro 80's and 90's romances are populated with characters working both on- and off-stage in theater, TV and film.

For Fork's Sake: A Deliciously Entertaining Romance
Karen Grey's "For Fork's Sake" serves up a perfect blend of small-town charm and contemporary romance, brought to life through the exceptional narration of Erin Mallon and Alastair Haynesbridge. At just under five hours long, this third installment in the Farm 2 Forking series proves to be a satisfying audio experience that'll leave you hungry for more.
The story follows Sam, our delightfully grumpy soil scientist who's forced to return to the hometown he'd rather forget, and Diane, a sunshine-personality whose secret identity adds spice to this romantic recipe. Their chemistry ignites during a chance encounter at a hotel bar, where trivia and attraction lead to an unforgettable one-night stand. But fate has other plans when they find themselves on opposite sides of a professional fence the next morning.
What sets this audiobook apart is how the narrators capture the essence of these characters. Haynesbridge brings the perfect amount of brooding charm to Sam's character, while Mallon infuses Diane with an infectious warmth that makes their dynamic absolutely captivating. The dual narration adds depth to the story's emotional layers, particularly during the more intimate moments between our leads.
Grey excels at crafting a story that balances light-hearted moments with deeper themes. The book tackles family dynamics, grief, and personal growth while maintaining its romantic comedy spirit. The addition of online gaming as a connection point between the characters adds a modern touch that feels authentic rather than forced.
While the enemies-to-lovers trope is present, it's refreshingly handled more as a tale of secrets and misunderstandings than outright animosity. The supporting cast of characters, including Sam's complicated family and the small-town residents, creates a rich backdrop that enhances rather than overshadows the main romance.
The production quality is stellar, with clear audio and seamless transitions between narrators. At times, you might find yourself laughing out loud at the witty banter or feeling your heart squeeze during the more emotional scenes – a testament to both the writing and narration.
If you're looking for a contemporary romance audiobook that combines humor, heart, and heat with stellar narration, "For Fork's Sake" delivers all that and more. It works well as a standalone, though longtime series fans will appreciate the deeper connections to the Farm 2 Forking world. This audiobook is perfect for those who enjoy their romance with a side of small-town charm and a dash of professional rivalry.
