About this listen
I've got an ax to grind. Just like Red Riding Hood clutching her basket of goodies, a sexy scientist skipped into the wrong wood...I mean...woods.
This is my forest, and everything in it belongs to me. Especially things with hypnotic eyes, cascades of raven hair, and killer curves that make my long, hard ax roar to life.
My people have owned this land for generations. She's trespassing, so I'll claim her. Make her mine.
She may try to escape and return to her boring city slicker life. But I'll make her think twice. If my perfect little dove thinks she can just gallivant into my forest and keep her innocence, she's barking up the wrong tree.
Chopped is a steamy long novella by USA Today best-selling author Colleen Charles about a huge ax-wielding lumberjack in the depths of the forest and the woman he claims as his own. It's the first book in the Taboo Tales series and is a stand-alone with all the steam and feels you're looking for, along with an emotional HEA.

The moment I see Adelaide Spencer, I know she's my mate. Neither of us have given ourselves to another - because we were both waiting for a moment like this. Her and me, under the stars, the night spread out in front of us, full of hope and a thousand tomorrows. But our pasts have collided in ways she doesn't know, and when she finds out, she'll never forgive me. Not for the mountain man I am, or for the bear I've been.

On my 21st birthday, I did a dangerous thing. Something so reckless and wild it changed the way I think of myself. The only person who knows the whole story is a man with a gun and a thunderstorm in his eyes. A man I never thought I'd see again outside of my wildest fantasies and dirtiest daydreams. Now, three years later, I see him walking down the street in my hometown like he belongs here. I need to find him. I need to talk to him. I never even found out his name.

Ever since she sat next to me in class and gave me death eyes, Willa Sutter's been on my shit list. Why she hates me, I don't know. What I do know is that Willa is the kind of chaos I don't need in my tidy life. She's the next generation of women's soccer. Wild hair, wilder eyes. Bee-stung lips that should be illegal. And a temper that makes the devil seem friendly. She's a thorn in my side, a menacing, cantankerous pain-in-the-ass who's turned our business mathematics course into a goddamn gladiator arena. I'll leave this war zone unscathed, coming out on top....

A real winner!
Gray lives off the land, as did his father and the father before him. He rejects technology, preferring to live with his hound dog, Hank, and to inhale the beauty of the forest. He's somewhat of a renaissance man, loving literature, collecting herbs and raising bees for his food and being a steward to the forest that surrounds him. Dove is finishing her doctorate in botany, studying the Aspen varietals of Northern Minnesota and she wants to prove the Dark aspen exists. She's going to forage through the woods until she finds it. Hearing the howl of an animal in the distance, Dove doesn't pay attention to the fallen logs and the world goes black when she falls. Hank discovers her and leads Gray right to her inert form. As Gray bends down to help her, he can't help but notice her beauty and for the first time in a long time, he is thrilled to have someone around. Dove is wary, at first, of what this big man might do to her, but when he takes her back to his home and tends to her wounds so gently, she wonders what secrets this giant man holds. When a heavy storm comes through, Dove is trapped in Gray's home, but is she really trapped if she's beginning to enjoy the thought of being with this man? The pace is perfect and the ending has a happy twist. Another winner for Colleen Charles!
I listened to the audible form and Tyler Darby and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker do an excellent job with the narration. The expression and modulation of their voices fit the characters perfectly.

Sweet and easy
The story is sweet and easy to read (and listen to). Seeing as the story takes place over a rather short time period, there are some parts that could have been fleshed out a bit more.
However, I am also glad that it doesn't make you feel like they've squeezed an impossible amount of activity into a few short days like some other books I've read.
The characters are delightfully awkward at first, which I love! Seeing them come out of their shells and try to understand each other was quite amusing. The hesitance and nervousness made the characters seem real and believable. Relatable.
I have to admit that I was hoping for a deeper, gruffer voice for Gray. The narrator did a great job, he's just not as growly as I would have liked.
