Axes & O’s by Kayla Grosse is a steamy, heartfelt MMF polyamorous romance that perfectly balances spice, emotional depth, and snowy holiday vibes. When Nathan’s plans to spend Christmas with his sister are derailed by a car accident in a snowstorm, he’s rescued by Fox and Morgan, a married lumberjack couple living in the mountains. What starts as a warm refuge evolves into an exploration of passion, healing, and unexpected connection.
Fox and Morgan have been married for years, sharing a deep bond but longing for the right third to join their relationship after a painful past experience. Nathan’s curiosity is piqued when he accidentally spies on their intimate moment, leading to a whirlwind of self-discovery and mutual desire. The trio’s journey is tender and vulnerable, with clear, open communication driving their relationship forward.
Grosse masterfully develops each character, from Fox’s grumpy, dominant nature to Morgan’s playful confidence, and Nathan’s awakening to his bisexuality. Their chemistry is electric, and the spice—80% of the book—is off the charts, featuring primal play, kink exploration, and a “vanilla businessman meets tattooed lumbersnacks” dynamic. Beyond the heat, the story also delves into themes of acceptance, healing from trauma, and embracing unconventional love.
With plus-size representation, snowed-in tropes, and holiday charm, Axes & O’s delivers on every front. It’s a fun, spicy, and surprisingly sweet romance with just the right touch of emotional resonance.
