Caught in the Axe by Daphne Elliot
4.0

“He’s probably been with dozens of women, and I’m just a lame small-town girl who mauled him with her mouth.”

Gah I love this new batch of Lovewell lumbersnacks. Caught In the Axe picks up after Daphne Elliot’s Lovewell Lumberjack series. A family in disarray and a young woman trying to carve a place in the world and escape small-town scrutiny. Owen left his life in Boston to help his siblings prepare the Hebert lumber business for sale. Lila Webster is a soft-spoken, kindhearted, hardworking beauty. When a lucrative job opportunity arises, she pounces on the opportunity, despite who her boss will be. While I liked Lila from the start, it took me a little while to warm to Owen. Once Hebert family dynamics began settling and Lila began breaking down his walls, his charming nature shined through. Romantic, alpharoll, lumbersnack Owen is my favorite. On the flip, Owen’s acknowledgment of Lila’s brilliant business acumen brings her confidence out with a boss bish ferocity that had me cheering. I loved the Momcoms and Gagnon family character cameos! Caught in the Axe is a great series starter and I cannot wait for more Hebert brother HEAs! If you’re looking for a fun blend of small-town swoon, big city opulence, found family, and steamy forbidden love, you’ll love Caught In the Axe!
