Axes & O’s by Kayla Grosse

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Picture being snowed in with a pair of loggers who look like they’ve stepped right out of your steamiest daydreams.

Nathan Clark didn’t plan on crashing his car and winding up at Fox and Morgan Malone’s cabin, but here he is—stranded with a married couple just days before Christmas.

And they’re eyeing him like he’s the perfect tree to climb.

Fox, with his tattooed, rugged allure, and Morgan, with her sweet and sultry charm, are making Nathan question everything he thought he knew about himself. It might’ve started with a simple offer to stay warm, but now Nathan’s facing a proposition that could change his life forever.

This Christmas, Fox and Morgan are ready to swing their axes, and Nathan’s about to find out just how deep their roots run.

Axes & O’s is a high-heat, MMF snowed-in “lumbersnack” holiday romance, guaranteed to make you swoon and sweat.

Nathan is the first in his family to graduate college and work in a corporate setting, he makes good money and is probably going to get a promotion in the new year, but for right now, he hates his job and the manager who is always expecting him to work late and do more. So when she keeps him hours late on the night before the holiday break when the company closes for a week, he quits and walks out rather than stay another hour. He has a four hour drive to the town of Starlight Haven in the mountains to his sister’s place and it is snowing. When Nathan is driving in the mountains, the snow gets worse and he spins out of control and crashes his car.

Morgan and Fox are a married couple who own a lumber company near the town where Nathan’s sister lives. They have a nice cabin in the forest where they live. They have been together since they were teens and have a very adventurous sex life. Fox is former military and is a big, tattooed, blond man who looks like an inked Thor. Morgan is also fairly tall, toned and beautiful. They find Nathan who is unconscious and near freezing and take him to their home.

Nathan, who is a nice normal guy, has dated women in the past, though he always found something missing and his relationships were unfulfilling, so he had given up dating for the time being. When he wakes up in a strange home, naked and alone, he starts to move around he hears a noise down the hall and finds a door slightly ajar. Inside, Fox and Morgan are in their bedroom being intimate, in a rough and slightly loud manner. Nathan find himself watching and gets aroused by what he sees, but he goes back to the room where he woke up before he is seen.

Of course, we can see from the start where this story is going. Fox is dominant and Nathan is pretty submissive. Fox and Morgan like to try a bunch of different things to keep things fresh in the bedroom and it isn’t long before they all find that they are attracted to each other and the married couple both wonder if Nathan could be the partner they have been looking for. With Nathan stuck due to the snowstorm, things escalate while they are in close quarters together.

This was a fun change to the snowed in with the lumberjack trope. Plus two of the main characters are really lumberjacks and I love the fact that a female was one of them. She actually chopped wood and everything. I also loved the fact that it was one of the Heroes that got stranded, not the heroine, like in most stories like this. Much of the story was told from Nathan’s point of view, which I also enjoyed. This was ok for if you are in the mood for some smutty MMF action. Though there isn’t much story other than just about the married couple bringing in a third to their relationship.

This audiobook was told in multiple points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Greyson Owens, Stephen Dexter and Stella Hunter. These narrators are some of my favorites and their voices are perfect for each of these characters. They do a great job and the audiobook is a great way to read this book.
