When I left my hometown, I had no plans to return. New city
- new me.
But when a family emergency brings me back home, I'm forced
to pack up my life and take the only available job.
Wesley Steele is the owner of Good Wood Tree Removal Inc. and
the boss from hell. A typical lumberjack, he’s bearded, arrogant and offensive.
He’s everything I despise in a man. I want nothing to do with him or his
flannel clad chest.
But, he's on a mission, intent to change my mind. How far is he willing to go to prove there's more depth to him than meets the eye?

I read Guardian by Remy Blake earlier this year and loved it. It was a 5 star read for me, and I don’t hand those out so easily anymore. I thought they truly deserved it though for doing something I was beginning to think was impossible. It is the first and only novella that I have ever read that actually felt like a complete story. Not only that, but it entertained me from beginning to end, the characters had amazing chemistry, and the romance was perfection. Couple that with the fact that I’m a Jacob Chance fan, and there was no question as to whether I would read Clipped or not.
Avery couldn’t wait to leave the small town where she grew up as soon as she graduated from high school. She was so happy to be out of there that she never returned until 8 years later when her mother is in the hospital after suffering a stroke. To her dismay, she wasn’t greeted at the airport by her sister, Lucy. Instead, she was met by the man that made her high school years a living hell, Wesley Steele.
Wesley is a cocky, bearded lumberjack that befriended Lucy after his best friend ran out on her and their little boy. He owns his own business, and still finds time to be the prominent male figure in Avery’s nephew’s life. This man does not seem like the guy Avery once knew, but she can’t let go of the misery he caused her so many years ago or the lasting effect it’s had on her.
Avery was hoping that she would never have to see Wesley again, but now thanks to his friendship with Lucy, he is there every time she turns around. Somehow, she gets talked into temporarily working as his secretary, and during all of the time they spend together, Avery finally warms up to Wes. In fact, things between them become downright hot!
I had a few problems with the book that didn’t allow me to love it as much as I had anticipated. The pacing was a problem for me, the ending seemed rushed, Wes was too sweet, and I didn’t feel much connection to either of the main characters. However, it was still overall an enjoyable story, and I don’t regret reading it. In fact, Remy Blake is still an autobuy author for me.
Clipped is a light, sexy romance that you can read in one sitting. The writing style makes it easy to fly through the book, and the story is sweet and steamy. If you’re a fan of the enemies to lovers trope without an overabundance of angst, or if you’re just looking for an entertaining, engaging romance you can read in one sitting, then this one might be for you!
