Caught in the Axe

Maine Lumberjacks, Book 1

De: Daphne Elliot

Narrado por: Aiden Snow, Mollie Stark

My ex’s brother is officially off-limits. Right? He’s ten years older. He’s only in town for a few weeks. And did I mention he’s my ex-boyfriend’s brother? But when I agree to be the grumpy lumberjack’s temporary assistant, it gets harder and harder to resist him. He’s all beard, broad shoulders, and growls, but I savor every one of his rare smiles.

I’m so close to the fresh start I’ve been working toward for so long, but while I’m ready to leave behind the moose, the lumberjacks, and the crazy small-town gossip, I can’t stay away from Owen. We’re tasked with cleaning up a disaster in order for his family to move on from their painful past, and we can only succeed if we trust one another. Our late nights, road trips, and inside jokes bring us too close and make it difficult to stay away. And while on a business trip, we don’t just cross the line, we demolish it. We’ve both been burned by the small-town rumor mill, so we agree to keep things quiet. But secrets don’t keep in Lovewell for long, and it’s only a matter of time before we get caught in the act. We’re headed in different directions and living different lives. And no matter how badly I want him, he can never truly be mine.

Author’s Note: Caught in the Axe is a standalone small-town romance featuring a nerdy, grumpy lumberjack with a heart of gold hidden under his flannel shirt and a sunshine ex-beauty queen who loves to challenge him. If you enjoy flirty banter, wood chopping, moose shenanigans, and possessive mountain men, then take a trip to Lovewell and meet the Maine Lumberjacks.

Series Blurb: Welcome to Lovewell, Maine, where the moose outnumber the people and you can’t swing an axe without hitting a hot, grumpy lumberjack. The Maine Lumberjacks Series are ALL standalones but are most fun when read in order!

Caught in the Axe: Maine Lumberjacks Book 1

#CurrentSituation: I AM OBSSESED WITH ALL THINGS Daphne Elliot!!

Caught in the Axe is/was my very first experience with Daphne Elliot and at merely 11% I knew without a shadow of a doubt that she was my people! So of course I did an immediate deep dive into what was, what is, and what will be of her. Kindle Unlimited for the #win! LOLOL Also, I have got to start listening to more 🎤Mollie Stark🎤 audiobooks! This chic is legit fun! She didn’t just make me fall head over feet for Lila, but she elevated her sassy no-nonsense personality, and it was a party in my ears every time she narrated! She was absolutely perfect! 🎤Aiden Snow🎤 was an excellent choice for Owen! His deep timber allows for the reader to easily picture a “burly lumberjack” individual but it’s also quite sexy to me so I really enjoyed that aspect! ;) 👏Absolute 5++ STAR audio experience!👏

There is nothing that is not a #swoonfest when it comes to Owen Hebert. He may have a “gruff” exterior and “grumpy” demeanor, but he is all sunshine and gumdrops when it comes to Lila Webster. Be still my heart! YOU GUYS, this story was everything! Not just the story, but everything else as well. (yeah, you’re gonna have to get on the Daphne Elliott train like I have to find out more LOL) I’ll only say that there are circumstances that both Lila and Owen have to “jump” over to create a better future for each other and with each other and they are just perfectly matched to get the job done!

If you’re reading this author for the first time with this book and you don’t want to immediately jump back and read her Lovewell Lumberjacks series in order to find out some details about Daddy Hebert and his nefarious goings on in the past, you just might not understand the assignment. LOL I AM IN THIS TOWN NOW and I must know ALL THE THINGS as they happened in real time! Like I said, Kindle Unlimited for the #win!

I not only enjoyed both Owen and Lila and their journey, but I also very much enjoyed all the secondary characters, and I am really looking forward to hopefully catch the rest of this series in audio! In the meantime, I’ll be in my corner devouring the Lovewell Lumberjacks series!

WHEN HE FALLS FIRST

Loved it !amazing performance and I can’t have enough of these lumbersnacks .ambitious Lila and nerdy Owen are the perfect match even if she is his brothers ex girlfriend of 8 years

I love Aiden Snow but…

The story is very well written but I still can’t finish this book. I absolutely love Aiden Snow’s voice and always thought that I could listen to him read anything. I need to amend that thought now. I can listen to Aiden Snow read anything as long as he isn’t reading it with Molly Stark. This was not the right book for her.

Fun book

Highly enjoyable. Great narration. Well written story with strong female lead. Nice amount of heat.

The Hot Story

I enjoyed the entire story,ThankYou for the enticing read. I will be reading the next book in this series today!
