All Nathan Clark wanted to do was visit his family for Christmas, but after crashing his car in heavy snow, he finds himself stranded at the cabin of Fox and Morgan Malone. Snowed in with the pair of swoon-worthy married loggers Nathan finds himself drawn to both of his hosts: Fox for his rugged, gruff allure and Morgan for her sweet, sultry charm. And more, the couple seem just as interested. As things in the cabin get steamy, Nathan finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew about himself–because what started as a simple offer of hospitality and warmth becomes a proposition that could forever change his life.

Having seen Axes & O's floating around on Instagram and with December just around the corner (now here!) I was keen to dive into this spicy holiday romance. This was my introduction to Kayla Grosse, and what an introduction it proved to be! This epically steamy and emotionally charged novel is captivating from start to finish, exploring themes of self-discovery, BDSM, and courage through a heartfelt poly romance. Featuring the POV of all three MCs–MMCs Nathan and Fox and FMC Morgan–I especially enjoyed the insight into each of their emotional journeys as they navigate their personal demons, past heartbreaks, and their growing attraction to each other. As we approach the holiday season, this one is definitely going to be on my re-read list to get into the festive spirit later in December.
