Caught In The Axe is the first book in the Maine Lumberjacks Series. This is an Age-Gap, Exes Brother, Small Town, Lumbrjack, Workplace, Contemporary Romance. There is a mild amount of spice and a tiny amount of violence in the side plot.
I am a huge fan of Age-Gap Romance, however I generally lean more towards darker subjects than this book offers. I am ecstatic that I took a chance on this book, series and author. Admittedly it started out a little slow for my taste, there was a lot of build up in the story line, but I never once thought of stopping my read. I appreciated how the author was able to give us stereotypical characters and scenarios and give them more depth and meaning. There is definitely an individual book story line and a side story line that looks like it may continue on to the other books in the series. This with all the easter eggs hidden about for up coming relationships has me already adding the next book in the series to my kindle.
I thoroughly adored meeting the cast of characters. Both of the main characters are so much more than they appear at introduction. Watching Lila never falter from the path she had been working very hard towards and still being able to grow as a person and a partner was beautiful. Owen's journey to mend relationships and to realize his own emotional potential was amazing. These two have definitely turned this dark romance reader into a sweet, small town, lumberjack romance reader. Though Clive is definitely my favorite character of all time.
