Jake Fox is a man on a mission. Driven by a mysterious connection between his late father and a stranger named Ryan, and armed with a collection of letters exchanged between the two, Jake wants nothing more than to unravel the enigma. Just who is this Ryan guy? Ryan Green is just trying to get by. So while the handsome stranger who pays for her groceries intrigues her, caring for her dying mom and raising her dead sister’s daughter is all she has time for. But when the muscular handyman moves in across the street, the spark of their chemistry is difficult to ignore. Upon arrival in the small town of Dull, Oregon, Jake is blown away to discover that Ryan is not the man he expected but an intriguing, attractive woman. While he avoids confronting his past and explaining his true purpose in Oregon, Jake can’t help but feel safe in the blue-eyed beauty’s company. And after Ryan witnesses him forming a bond with her six-year-old ward, she wonders if her run of craptacular boyfriends is finally over. Can Jake and Ryan navigate the challenges of their intertwined histories, finding solace and happiness, or will the secrets split them apart? For Fox Sake is the poignant fifth book in the Fox Family romantic comedy series and can be read as a stand-alone, but the experience is definitely enhanced by starting with book one: Between a Fox and a Hard Place! If you like witty characters, swoony moments, and grief leavened with humor, then you’ll adore this heartfelt tale of love, loss, and the complexities of unraveling the past.
