Axe-Identally Married

Maine Lumberjacks, Book 3

By: Daphne Elliot

Narrated by: Stephen Dexter, Ava Lucas

I used to be a good girl.

That is until I woke up in Vegas married to a former hockey player who also happens to be my best friend’s ex.

Cole Hebert and I are opposites. I’m the new town doctor, a rule follower, and five-five on a good day. He’s the six-seven bad boy currently doing court-ordered community service.

I’m struggling to earn the respect of the people in our hometown, and he’s doing some soul searching after an injury ended his hockey career. We’ve already drunkenly said I do, so we agree to a marriage of convenience.

Forced to live together, we slowly become friends. I see a side of Cole I never knew existed. He coaches kids’ hockey, knits for the entire town, and loves snuggling while watching Jeopardy.

Soon, we’re growing closer, and the way the hockey-playing lumberjack worships my plus-size body and obsessively calls me his wifey has me embracing my inner bad girl and tearing down all my carefully constructed walls.

Our feelings eventually burn as bright as our passion, but the small town we both love is harboring dark secrets. After a shocking discovery, we learn there are those who want us silenced forever, and we’re forced to risk it all to protect our happily ever after.

Author’s Note: Axe-Identally Married is a marriage of convenience romance featuring a sassy plus-size doctor and a cinnamon roll hockey player with a heart of gold. If you enjoy opposites attract, flirty banter, possessive heroes, wood-chopping, meddling moose, and small-town hijinks, you will not be disappointed.

Welcome to Lovewell, Maine, where the moose outnumber the people and you can’t swing an axe without hitting a hot, grumpy lumberjack. The books of the Maine Lumberjacks Series are ALL standalones but are most fun when listened to in order!

Cinnamon Roll!

I have read this entire series and it’s great to see Cole’s story, and for him to actually be a cinnamon roll!!! So great.

Update Research

Good storyline. Character development on par. Please when talking about professions make sure your research is up to date. Nothing more grinding than hearing a medical reference that’s almost a decade outdated. That’s my pet peeve. But, do not let that deter you. Great book. Audio voices matched the characters well.

My favorite so far!

This is by far my favorite in the series so far! I loved it, you remained engaged the entire book and the storyline continued on from the other books seamlessly. New fan!

Loved this one!

Loved this one!!!
The characters were great and the underlying storyline is really picking up.
Getting suspenseful and everything is really coming together in this series!!

Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Best book boyfriend. 🌟

I’m reading all the books of this series in order, so I don’t know what to say about the last 2 quite yet. But so far, Cole is unexpectedly my favorite of the Hebert brothers! What a sweet vulnerable cinnamon hot teddy bear of a man. He just wanted loved. Learning his side of the story, and how he grew up, it’s no wonder he had some issues to get past. His blunt honesty toward Willa was SO refreshing. I really thought Owen would be hard to beat after reading book 1. But Cole ran circles around him. #teamcole all the way. 😂
Ava Lucas and Stephen Dexter were perfect narrators! Chefs kiss.
And lord have mercy, the dirty talk coming from hubby Cole made me blush. A man who talks like that, knits, bakes, and gives hand made gifts? Perfect book boyfriend! What a beautiful story of love, acceptance, and trust. Can’t wait for book 4.
