Zero Forks: A Spicy Rom Com (Small Town Secrets) Kindle Edition
Sparks fly between the youngest Morgan brother, the always optimistic Boone, and his boss, the older workaholic, down-on-love woman who hired him as her male nanny.
BOONEI know a BS excuse when I hear one. And my new boss has thrown half a dozen at me about why we can't be together. I only have one thing to say to all of that. The number of fu—uh—forks I give about what other people think about us is zero. A big fat goose egg.
See! I've even learned to watch my language around her and the kid. I'm that serious about proving to this woman she needs to give me—give us—a chance. That it doesn't matter if she is a little older than me, or that I work for her, or that the Mudville gossip mill will definitely choose us as the topic du jour.
All that matters is that I can prove to her that life, especially life in a small town, is so much better when you don't give a fu—um, I mean—fork.
Darn it, that swear jar is going to bankrupt me.
SARAH
I’ve sworn off men. It took me thirty-nine years and two huge mistakes in the romance department to come to my senses but I finally did. Work is my life now and that’s exactly the way I like it.
That’s what makes it extra uncomfortable that the adorable three-year old I inherited for six months while my sister is deployed has chosen a hot, ripped twenty-something farmer as our new live-in nanny.
Boone’s too nice, too sunshiny and too good with the boy for me to fire him, but dammit he needs to start wearing more clothes around the house because I’m one hard ab away from breaking my vow of celibacy with a man who’s ridiculously wrong for me in so many ways.
A standalone, opposites attract, older woman younger man, steamy, grumpy boss romance set in Mudville, the crazy small town you’ve come to know and love.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2020We return to Mudville and Boone gets his story! Although this is part of a series, it can definitely be enjoyed as a stand-alone. If you have read the other books that take place in Mudville, you’ll be able to enjoy seeing those characters reappear. And if this is your first visit to that small town, I think it’s safe to say that you’ll want to check out the other books and learn more about it and Boone’s older brothers.
Boone, our hero in this book, is sincerely one of the good guys. Kind, hard-working, handsome, charming … a bit of a ladies’ man, but not in a sleazy way at all. Sarah, our heroine, is the “older woman” by a little more than a decade. She is a hard-working career woman who has had her heart broken, and has pretty much given up on love.
j
I don’t like giving spoilers because I think it’s best to let the story unfold in the way the author wants it to when you read the book. I will say though, that the way Boone gallantly effortlessly sweeps her off her feet is absolutely perfect. Logical realist Sarah finds herself torn between the shadows of her past, her preconceptions about age, and the reality of the man from Mudville who has come into her life. Sarah’s young nephew Stewie is critical to the plot and is a fun character in his own right. As Boone provides babysitting for Stewie, he also works on showing Sarah that their hearts matter more than their ages.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2021I was excited for Boone's story, but this was more than I imagined! And for as much as this story takes place in Mudville, there was more focus on Boone and his interest AND the Morgan Family Farm! But, still many of the characters we've come to love were present too! Just a great story with may laughs and a unique title! Love it!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2020I will admit that this book started out a little slower for me. I don't know why. The characters were great and I enjoyed the introduction but it just took a little longer to get into. I'm glad I stuck with it though, I really grew to like it. I think the reason was Sarah. While I understood her and her concerns, it just didn't pop for me.
I loved Boone. I have enjoyed his character throughout this whole series and I'm glad we got his book. He was the perfect gentleman with a naughty side. He just oozed charm. I loved that he knew when to push and also when to pull back.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2024Sarah is suddenly responsible for her three year old nephew while her sister is deployed. She is on her was back to the city after lick my him up when she stops in Mudville to get him something to eat. No-one helps her unlock the car with Stewie inside sleeping. Then he convinced her to rent the Van Due Berg house and he would be the nanny so she can commute with to work. when sparks fly she tries to convince Boone that he is too young for her. But he thinks age is jyst A number and it doesn't matter that she is older than him. Can he convince her to see things his way or will she continue to fight her feelings for him? I love how this plays out.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2021Each book of the series gets better and better. Love Sarah and Boone’s story of older woman/ younger man. Gives women hope. Cat Johnson is an amazing story teller and character writer.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2021These stories keep getting better and better! The tale of Boone and Sarah had even more than the others. These two were so opposite I was afraid it would never happen but when they did it was explosive, hot, tender and hilarious. I never thought Boone had it in him, what a man.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2020Top book so far in this series for me! Sarah is a marketing executive who takes on her three yr old nephew when her sister Liza gets deployed. What the hell is she going to do now? A stop at the diner in Mudville may just change everything! Boone is a man of many talents. In a matter of a few hours, he manages to become the live in manny for Stewie. There may be ulterior motives behind it, like an attraction to the lovely older woman! Now all he has to do is make her see just how good it could be! This book was sweet, sexy and oh so fun to read! Check out this series today!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2020Bodacious Boone met cautious Sarah and it was on! Rhythms nation began with their chance meeting and the beat got stronger as each day passed. I loved the older-younger trope. Glad her resistance didn't last long. Good story.
