Off Limits.

She’s too young for me.
Too nice for me.
And she’s my little brother’s ex-girlfriend.

So why can’t I keep my hands, and my heart, to myself?

Lila Webster is my temporary assistant. That’s it. But I’m distracted by her gorgeous face, her sharp mind, and the sunshiny smile that burns straight into my grumpy soul.

I’m determined to keep my head down and my hands off. In a few weeks, I’ll head back to my life in Boston and leave behind the moose, the lumberjacks, and the crazy small-town gossip.

But between the thefts, break-ins, and constant danger, my family is counting on me to clean up the mess my criminal father left behind. And she’s the only person I trust to help. Our late nights, road trips, and inside jokes bring us too close and make it difficult to stay away.

And soon, I can’t stop myself from taking what’s not mine.

We’ve both been burned by the small-town rumor mill, so we agree to sneak around. But things don’t stay secrets in Lovewell for long, and it’s only a matter of time before we get caught in the act. 

I know that when I go, I’ll be forced to leave my heart behind. Because no matter how badly I want her, she 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.

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!

Review:

4 Stars

This is the first book in the series. I was introduced to Daphne Elliot in the MomCom series so I knew I had to read this one. Lila and Owen had me gobbling up the pages. I would like to give kudos to Daphne for the representation of Celiac. My cousin lives with it so I know the struggle sometimes and I respected that she wrote a character with it. It is hard to find good pizza, but luckily there is a pizza place around here that does! This little lumberjack town definitely has it's small town quirks. The nosy busybodies with the gossip. Owen is back in town to help his brothers navigate the mess left behind by their criminal dad. It's not going to be easy, but his brother's ex is going to assist him on the paperwork. Let the sparks start flying. One of my favorite parts of the book is when the Hebert brothers get together or interact. A lot of laughs with them that's for sure. Finn is so much fun! This book is light and fun, but also has it's serious moments. A great read that has me looking forward to more from the series!
