Kiss My Axe

Axford Brothers, Book 1

De: May Archer

Narrado por: Michael Dean

Living in a treehouse? Unavoidable.

Falling for the grumpy lumberjack hottie next door? Unthinkable.

After a viral PR disaster torpedoes my marketing career, I flee Manhattan. The only place left to land? A fairy-tale treehouse in a pickle-obsessed Vermont town, left to me by an uncle I barely knew.

Yes, I said pickles.

No, I’m not okay.

But I’m only here temporarily. Just long enough to regroup, let the notoriety die down, and figure out my next steps in peace.

Unfortunately, my new neighbor has other ideas.

Beckett “the Axe” Axford–cranky local heartthrob and unapologetic tree-murderer–claims Uncle Jim made him promises about the forest around the treehouse, and he’s none too pleased when I won’t take his word for it.

Unfortunately for him, I’m done playing by other people’s rules. I’m not backing down just because some sexy–I mean grumpy–lumberjack says so, and I can handle whatever he dishes out.

Tree climbing? No problem.

Pickle festival popularity contest? Sign me up.

Kissing my unexpectedly-tender, flannel-clad nemesis in the woods after dark? I can take it, bro. And take it. And t– Ahem. You get the picture.

I’m tired of losing, so I’m not giving up my inheritance or my heart without a fight.

And if Beckett thinks differently, he can kiss my axe.

Another great series start by May

Just another fantastic story from May! I adored Griffin and Beckett. Their bickering and animosity felt more like an old married couple than an actual enemies to lovers.

I felt so bad for Griffin. To have worked so hard on his dreams and then have them being crushed in such a spectacular way was really sad to read. I honestly don’t think I could bounce back from something like that as fast as Griffin did.

Beckett too had his own problems to deal with. Having to carry his family’s legacy’s was no small task and having his dad meddle with his way of doing things didn’t exactly help the situation.

Both men had so much pent up frustration that it’s no surprise they let it out the best way possible 😏 Who says anger hookups aren’t good?😂

Griffin was the perfect example that sometimes when things seem to just go wrong no matter how hard we try, there’s always a silver lining. He thought his place was in NY but turns out that losing his job was the best thing that could have happened to him.

The universe has a funny way of shoving us into what we really need not what we want. That’s why it’s best to let things be and they will always work themselves

As always, Michael did such a wonderful job narrating. I swear he could narrate the entire phone book and make it sound like the best book ever🤣

I enjoyed this book so much. I laughed and got emotional. May has a way of making you feel both things, AT THE SAME TIME! I truly recommend this. Can’t wait for book two😁

A new favorite!
