Okay, fellow listeners, get ready for a laugh-out-loud, heart-swooning good time, because "Axe-Identally Married" by Daphne Elliot just officially became my new obsession! 🎧

I mean, how could I resist? That gorgeous cover and those irresistible tropes totally drew me in. And let me tell you, as someone who's already devoured the first two books in this series and loved them, this one did not disappoint! Daphne Elliot truly outdid herself with this perfect blend of romantic comedy, unexpected "marriage of convenience," and all the charming small-town vibes. It’s pure delight from start to finish.

Huge thanks to Daphne Elliot and Home cooked books for the early audio copy! 🙏🏻💖

This story stars Willa Savard, the new doctor in town, and Cole Hebert, the reformed hockey bad boy with a past. Picture this: they wake up in Vegas, accidentally married (yes, really!), and decide a marriage of convenience is their best bet. But oh, how quickly things heat up! Cole is seriously the ultimate "cinnamon roll" hero – beneath that tough exterior is a man who absolutely adores Willa and refuses to break. Their chemistry is explosive, the banter is incredibly witty, and their journey from accidental spouses to head-over-heels in love is just beautiful to witness. There's even a dash of small-town secrets and suspense that adds an intriguing layer.

🎧 And the narration by Stephen Dexter and Ava Lucas? Chef's kiss! They brought Willa and Cole to life so perfectly. Stephen Dexter's voice for Cole was exactly how I pictured him: sexy, a little gruff, but totally sweet. And Ava Lucas nailed Willa's smart, determined, and secretly smitten vibe. Their duet narration made this audiobook an absolute joy. 🤩

Seriously, if you're looking for a hilarious, sweet, and surprisingly suspenseful romance with characters you'll fall head over heels for, "Axe-Identally Married" needs to be your next listen. And if you haven't read the others in the Maine Lumberjacks series yet, trust me, you'll want to after this one!
