MP Book Reviews on Instagram: "Review: Kiss My Axe by May Archer 4 of 5 stars
Griffin’s PR disaster sends him fleeing Manhattan to a quirky Vermont town, where he ends up living in a fairy‑tale treehouse he inherited. His plan is to hide out and regroup — until he clashes with his grumpy, ridiculously attractive lumberjack neighbor, Beckett “the Axe” Axford, who insists the surrounding forest belongs to him. What starts as a battle of wills turns into flirtation, pickle‑festival chaos, and late‑night kisses in the woods. As their rivalry heats up, so does their chemistry, and Griffin finds himself fighting just as hard for his heart as he is for his inheritance.
I loved that this romance leans hard into that deliciously thin line between love and hate, and the connection between these two men absolutely crackles. Every clash, every challenge, every stubborn stand‑off only highlighted how fiercely drawn they are to each other. Their chemistry was undeniable from the start — sharp, heated, and impossible to ignore. What makes the story shine is how quickly their rivalry turned into something deeper. Beneath all the sniping and tension was a bond that felt inevitable, as if fighting each other was just their way of circling what they really wanted. Watching them shift from enemies to something far more intimate was both fun and deeply satisfying. A lively, heat‑filled read that proved sometimes the strongest love stories start with a spark of irritation and a whole lot of stubbornness. This was an MM story with mature content.
