With every new book in this series, I find a new favorite, and Daphne Elliot’s Axe Backwards is no exception!Book Description
Once in a while, after life gets you down, the universe throws you a bone. And if you’re really lucky, it comes in the form of a tattooed baby-wearing firefighter with piercing blue eyes and a heart of gold.
When Noah Hebert swung his axe and rescued me from a coffee shop bathroom, I had only a vague sense of who the tattooed lumberjack was. Turns out he’s more than broad shoulders and a thick beard. He’s a devoted single dad and my new neighbor.
Soon after, we find ourselves falling into an easy friendship. I help him with his fussy baby, and he helps me survive my ex-husband and little sister’s wedding. Despite my vow never to risk my heart again, my defenses quickly crumble. The sight of him rocking his sweet baby in those muscular, inked arms only makes matters worse. And when he defends me to my toxic family, the sparks of attraction between us catch fire.
I moved back here with a mission. Grow the food pantry and make our little town a better place. I can’t get mixed up with the grieving single dad, even if he likes to braid my hair and slow dance in the kitchen.
He moved across the country to escape the flames of his past and protect the little girl he now calls his own. But our town is sitting on a bed of secrets ready to ignite.
And when the heat causes my world to go up in smoke, I’m not sure it’s possible to sift through the rubble and find our happily ever after.
Author’s Note: Axe Backwards is a standalone small-town romance featuring a bleeding-heart heroine, a lumberjack firefighter, and a cute baby. If you enjoy single dads, fake dating, small-town shenanigans, lumberjack competitions, and baby sign language, you will not be disappointed. Come for the wood chopping, stay for the moose!

My Thoughts
With every new book in this series, I find a new favorite, and Daphne Elliot’s Axe Backwards is no exception!
The story introduces us to Noah Hebert, a single-dad firefighter who has returned to his hometown with his baby girl, looking to plant new roots. We also meet Victoria, who has moved to Lovewell to run the local food pantry and heal from a painful divorce—made even more complicated by the fact that her ex-husband is marrying her little sister.
Their paths cross when Noah rescues Victoria from a locked room, and when they discover they’re also neighbors, an easy friendship begins. The heart of the story is the sweet and refreshing found family that forms between them. Watching Victoria bond with Noah's daughter while he provides the steady support she needs to face her past is incredibly heartwarming. And let's be honest, the adorable baby is the absolute star of the show!
The audiobook experience is made even better by the phenomenally talented narrators, Gabriel Spires and Samantha Cook. Their performances are simply amazing, breathing so much life and emotion into Noah and Victoria that you feel completely immersed in their story.
Daphne Elliot’s talent for writing stories with so much heart just keeps me coming back for more. Between the swoon-worthy romance, the touching family dynamics, and the fantastic narration, Axe Backwards is a definite 5-star listen that I can't recommend enough!
