Caught in the Axe by Daphne Elliot
4.0

This is an age gap, brother's ex girlfriend, small town romance that features a hot lumberjack and the woman who works for him but also previously dated his brother for a long time. I really loved Owen and Lila, their history, and how they overcome their obstacles. Owen is trying to save his family's lumber business in Maine, and although he wants nothing to do with small town Maine, his family needs him to sort out the books and arrange a buyer for the company. His assistant just happens to be his little brother's ex, who Owen really likes from the very beginning, but he feels he can't act on due to his brother. Owen is swoony though, and goes above and beyond for Lila. In one instance, she has Celiac disease and tells him she's missing pizza and he literally buys every ingredient and gluten free flour to try and create the perfect pizza for her. He's perfection! Everything about this was so good. The banter, the family drama, the spice… it has everything anf I really enjoyed reading it. This book was just effortlessly entertaining and I found myself so wrapped up in it, and really rooting for Owen, Lila, and the business. I loved the way it ended and I cannot WAIT for the next book!
