I randomly came across this book and it was a first for me with this author and definitely won't be the last!
This snowed in, mmf, holiday read was a cozy and spicy and everything nice & naughty! The main couple, Morgan & Fox, came across Nathan after he was involved in a car accident. What comes next is fast but flows well for this throuple. I definitely enjoyed it!
I was provided an audio copy to review and loved the combo of Stella Hunter, Stephen Dexter & Grayson Owens. The male narrators were very different in tone so it was easy to tell which character was being read.

This narration is amazing!!! They really nail getting these scenes. it’s emotion and spicy and just all the goodness!!
Grayson Owens as Nathan Clark.
Stella Hunter as Morgan Malone.
Stephen Dexter as Fox Malone.
I am not sure there is a better pick for narrators than these folks. They did an amazing job embodying what I felt and envisioned reading/listening to this book!
I had all the feels as I listened to them tell the story!! What an amazing crew of narrators!!
Plot:
Nathan is trying to get to his family Christmas. He ends up in a ditch and is saved by Fox and Morgan. Fox and Morgan live an adventurous life as a married couple. When Nathan wanders toward their room because he hears a noise he gets way more than he bargained for; or is it just what he always needed?
3.5 stars. This was not my typical romance read. There really was very little plot, but the character development was decent. The relationship developed at an unrealistic pace in my opinion, but maybe for this style of romance it is more typical? I would check out more by this author in the future.
This is a MMF holiday romance. Buckle up and get ready for some hot sexy fun at Christmas time. This book is sweet and spicy. Fox and Morgan have been together for over twenty years and had another partner in their relationship at one point. Nathan is going to his sister’s house for Christmas when his car crashes. He is rescued by Fox and Morgan and stays with them for a while due to severe weather. I highly recommend listening to this fantastic audiobook. The narration by Stella Hunter, Stephen Dexter and Grayson Owens was absolutely spectacular. They really brought this story to life.
Thank you NetGalley for this audiobook ARC.
This story follows Nathan Clark , Fox and his wife Morgan.
Nathan crashes his car after driving to his sister cabin for Christmas but neds up in a snowstorm. Lucky for Nathan, Morgan and her husband Fox find in out in the snow near death , as they were in the woods for their Christmas tradition.
Nathan wakes up in a strange cabin and walks in on his hosts having some alone time - which he can't seem to stop watching.
After being told that he is stuck with this couple for the next few days as they are snowed in.
These three start getting very intimate with each and Nathan learns a lot about himself, but can they survive in the real world once they are no longer snowed in.
This is a short and spicy holiday romance MMF , with a bisexual awakening. The narrator brought these characters to life and would highly recommend.
This was a fun, kinky, sexy, MMF holiday read! This book had me from the dedication: "This book is dedicated to anyone who has ever looked at a person in flannel holding an ax and said, 'Yeah, I'd let them split me in half.'" Loved it!
The narration for the audio was done very well, as well. A different narrator voices each chapter depending on whose POV it is. They all did a really great job, but the female (Stella Hunter) was probably the best! She even did a nice, sexy, low voice for the male characters when she voiced them. Bravo!
I received an audio ARC of this audiobook from the publisher in exchange for an honest review via NetGalley.
A HOT holiday romance that will have you wanting to form a thruple.
The smut is the plot - and you'll love every minute of it.
I love the set up of this book, a corporate guy who's overworked and just wants to get through this snowstorm to see his sister and her daughter for Christmas crashes and is rescued by a married couple.
The roads are closed due to snow. Oh no! He's going to have to stay with this super kinky, poly couple open to a third, for Christmas. What's a guy to do? Get in the sauna with them, of course.
Get yourself this book if you love

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the AMAZING narration by Grayson Owens, Stella Hunter and Stephen Dexter. I love the decision to have three distinct voices for each of these characters, because it brought me fully into the book. It's not duet, which I didn't mind at all, because all of these narrators are so talented.
Thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape for the ALC.
This book is best read at the side of the road in a snowstorm, waiting for your poly couple to find you.
this audiobook was outstanding! i already went into this knowing i loved the book and anything kayla grosse writes. i also knew i loved stella hunter and grayson owens whenever i’ve heard them narrate. that being said, clearly no one involved disappointed. grayson truly outdid himself. everything was so deliciously dirty. this was my first stephen dexter and it was incredible! fox was a an amazing character and he did a perfect job bringing him to life. stella was an incredible morgan! morgan is definitely top tier for kayla grosse fmc’s and stella brought her to life perfectly.
the entire book was chefs kiss perfection.
Thank you Netgalley dreamsxape select ans the author for the alc and e-arc. My opinions are being left voluntarily. The most perfect narration. I'm a huge fan of Kaylas writing. The steam always hits just the right way.... many times whewwwwww 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
I loved the plot, the side characters and the setting. This would be amazing adapted on @passionflix along with her other books which are addictive.
Suggest giving it a try
Axes and O’s was great! I really enjoy Kayla Grosse’s books. This was super spicy and fun and a great use of the snowed in together trope. Definitely would recommend it.
I absolutely loved this audiobook!
Not only did the narrators do an incredible job immersing me into the story, but I thought this was really well written. There was so much heart and vulnerability and I'm so happy this was the first romance I read that had a polyamorous couple.
10/10 smut
I don't have a lot to say, there is no plot in this book it's just spice so if you wan't that, that book is for you. But it wasn't for me, I need to have more context on the characters and a plot to the story. The narrator did a good job thought, it really help.
Nathan's Christmas homecoming takes a nosedive into disaster when he crashes his car after a day from the depths of work hell. Getting snowed in with a bunch of strangers is one thing, but what if there's a little spark flying between them? Talk about a holiday plot twist!
Enter Fox and Morgan, the adventurous husband-and-wife logging team cozying up in their mountain cabin. They find Nathan utterly fascinating and have some intriguing plans to shake things up!
Oh, and don't miss the audiobook magic! With the enchanting voices of Grayson Owens, Stella Hunter, and Stephen Dexter, it's like being whisked away on a whimsical adventure with each and every word!

Nathan goes with the flow and is a pleaser by nature. But he hates his job and something is missing. So when his boss keeps him late before the office closes for Christmas, he loses it and quits. He is now late heading up to his sister's place for Christmas and is in a snow storm when his chains on his car break, making it undriveable. While investigating, he passes out in the snow. When he wakes up, he is in a warm bed and naked. And there are noises coming from down the hall.... Enter Fox and Morgan, a married couple who are pretty sexually adventurous. Nathan finds himself attracted to both of them- he's never felt an inkling of attraction for a man before. Are they what is missing?
I enjoyed this spicy romance that went a bit deeper. It dealt with feelings of guilt, shame, and acceptance. I liked the way they all fit together and made each other whole. So while it is quite explicit, it was also sweet.
Grayson Owens, Stella Hunter, Stephen Dexter narrate. All did a great job.
I received an advance audio copy in exchange for an honest review.
This was a fun, VERY spicy MMF holiday poly romance that sees one man snowed in with a married couple and invited to participate in their bedroom games. While there's definitely some hot scenes involving role play, toys and light BDSM, the book also touches on more serious topics like bi-awakening and PTSD related to military service. Good on audio and perfect for fans of books like Puck shy, Three hearts hideaway by Luna Day or Happenstance by Tessa Bailey. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early audio copy in exchange for my honest review!
I had read this book before listening to the audiobook version of this story. Axes & O's was definitely a fun and hot read! Fox, Morgan and Nathan have such a hot chemistry together. I love Fox's dominant side, Morgan's switch tendencies and Nathan's self discovery journey. Loved the spicy scenes just as much as the emotional connection between all 3 characters. If you are looking for a plot heavy book, this may not be it, but if you are looking for a fun, spicy, kinky read then you've come to the right place. That being said the audiobook version... OMG made it even better. Greyson Owens and Stella Hunter's narration was great, but Stephen Dexter... just WOW!!! Made me melt into a puddle! I one thousand percent recommend getting the audiobook version of this story, definitely takes the story to another level.
Axes and O’s is a wintery, fun time! This is a MMF, has plus size rep, includes healing together, vanilla businessman meets lumbersnack, snowed in, holiday romance!
Fox and Morgan are polyamorous lumberjacks who have married and together for years. They end up finding Nathan stuck in his car and freezing during a snowstorm, so they rescue him and bring him back to their place to warm up! Nathan ends up accidentally spying on Fox and Morgan and is curious and kind of into what he saw. Fox and Morgan had a third in their relationship in the past but it didn’t work out and they’re both wanting someone to join them, but afraid of getting hurt again. As you can guess, we get allllllllll the spice and snowed in vibes! This book is packed with all the heat, but brings the emotional connection that this author delivers on too. Just a fun time all around, maybe could have been novella length instead considering how fast they all fall in together, but otherwise all the holiday spice.
I received an ALC of the audiobook, all thoughts in this review are my own.
Holy crap this is one of the hottest books I have read recently 🔥 This book is for those who saw Chris Evans pull apart that log and wished it was them 🥵 I got an ARC of the audiobook and the narrators knocked it out of the park! The tension, spice, and most importantly the communication that happens throughout the book was fantastic! This is a great MMF kinky winter read that I absolutely devoured.
Thank you to Netgally for providing this ARC.
The audiobook was everything I wanted it to be. I read this book first through KU and loved it so much that I wanted to experience it in audio form, and I was not disappointed. The three main characters really came to life. I already loved them so much and couldn't get enough of their love story, but after listening to their audio I fell even harder for them. I wasn't sure how Kayla was going to top Trick Shot, but this fulfilled all my lumbersnack desires. I think my favorite parts were when they say "my wife" or "my husband." The fact that Morgan was so comfortable wielding an axe while also being the prey was everything. I love that this book had nods to the BDSM lifestyle but that Kayla also explained all the terminology so well. This book mad my little switchy heart happy. If you like Kayla's other work, you will love this book/audiobook. Spice 4/5

You ever get a book without reading the synopsis because you thought it was a different book and then when you start it you’re awfully surprised? Well that was me with Axes & O’s by Kayla Grosse.
Let me preface this by saying: I’m not typically an erotica reader. I don’t hate it or anything, it’s just not typically my cup of tea. That being said: I had a fine time with this book! I was looking for a cozy holiday romance and I got…a slightly different version of that 😂 If you’re an erotica lover you will probably eat this up! The characters were compelling, the narration was well done, the steamy scenes were well written, and there was still a plot. Thank you Netgalley for my copy of this book!
