This is the first time I have read someone being described as a troll doll, funny!

Most of the characters were lovable but had their own issues. I wasn't a huge fan of Riven,
twice he refused to hear the other side of the story. It almost got Daisy killed.


I wouldn't call it Insta-love, but the FMC fell for them rather quickly. It's already an unconventional way of dating, so when love comes so easily it tends to make it feel undeveloped.

I appreciated how the author gave each MMC a decent amount of time with FMC. Some harem romances tend to focus on one MC and let the others sit in the background for a chunk of it. 

There are a lot of errors in the digital format, mostly grammatical errors and repeated phrases.

The smut in Gold’s books are always steamy and fun to read, however, I gave this book 2.5 ⭐️ because the story + characters are always the same [to me]. 
I am a sucker for a good storyline and I was a bit bummed that there wasn’t much of a plot. 

However, this was a fun read! I read it was a few of my girl friends 🫶🏻

Solid 3 ⭐️

This book was fun! I really grew to love grumpy Cole and loved his banter with Daisy. Riven was sweet
until the final act
. Eli was a miss for me, I just didn't vibe with him and his energy... maybe I'm a grumpyxsunshine girly after all. 

The story was a predictable at times, especially if you have read some other books by the author. She definitely has a formula for her quadrouples and it does work, but can leave you wanting more when you know what to expect. 

I will say.. the smut never misses! 😂

I really enjoy everything of Lily Gold’s that I’ve read :) I will say I think this was probably my least favorite of them but I’m not exactly sure why - maybe I didn’t like the setting quite as much of the character development or smth I’m not sure but did still enjoy reading it :)

‘Why choose’ romance with forced proximity. Lily Gold’s books are maybe a smidge formulaic, and for me the mystery around Daisy’s disappearance was dragged out for a long time. 

Super spicy and very sweet relationships though.

Absolutely OBSESSED 😍😍 By far, my favourite Lily Gold book 

"But Hanna, she just writes the same book in a different font every time!" Yeah and I eat it up every time

Daisy and her boys had me hooked right from the start and I flew through this book. Especially Cole and Riven are very hesitant to have her stay at first but are still immediately protective over her — they just can't help themselves.

We get a lot more of the (platonic) relationship between the guys in this book and you could tell that they really had history together and cared about each other deeply. 

Their relationship progression was really natural and in the end, Cole, too, got over his shit and joined in the fun 😉

Daisy's been through a lot back home and when the guys figure it out, there's some drama but I think it was all understandable given their past relationship and they all made it up to her in the end.

Really can't complain about anything ❤
