What makes a romance novel truly unforgettable? According to Kayla Grosse, it’s all about the heat, the heart, and the tension that keeps you hooked until the very last page.

And if you haven’t read Axes & O’s, let me paint the scene for you:

Picture this: You’re snowed in with two lumbersnacks who look like they stepped right out of your steamiest daydreams. You didn’t plan to get stranded in their cabin just days before Christmas, but here you are—being eyed like the perfect tree to climb. 😏

In this episode, Kayla and I talk about:
 💋 Her journey into writing steamy, swoon-worthy romances
✍🏽 How she creates chemistry that makes you feel every moment
🌲 The inspiration behind Axes & O’s (aka the lumbersnack fantasy we ALL need)
🔥 What’s next in her world of romance & longing

If you love high-heat books that deliver ALL the spice, this conversation is for you! Grab a drink, hit play, and let’s talk about all things love, steam, and storytelling magic.
