It was nice to find a why choose romance that was not a dark romance. The book was good. It wasn't anything amazing. It was just a simple romance.  The FMC is running away from something, and it frustrated me that the MMCs assumed it was for a bad reason. Once you get to that point in the book, it's understandable, but my mind went to 'what if she is running from an abusive partner or from grief.' It was just one of those plot devices where logic is put aside for drama. 

I felt like the character's backstories and their motives were fleshed out really nicely. The book was surprisingly funny. The FMC was sassy and had some really funny one-liners. My favorites: 

- "How do you know how to get blood out of clothes?”  “I do this really odd thing, where I bleed out of my vagina for a week every month? I don’t know why, it’s weird. Now sit.” 

- “I should be sucking the other guys off. Luckily, they’re both pretty tired out, so I’ve got a quick break from shagging their brains out. It’s tough work, being a walking, talking fleshlight.”

- “Why are you so small?”  “I shrank in the wash.”

Right. I wanted to love this. Really, really wanted to. The setting is great. The writing is solid. The men were adorable. I'm a fan of the whole 'running away to somewhere new because my life is a hot mess'. I just could not get past the reason why our FMC Daisy ran. Maybe this is just me being naive, but the degree of implosion her life faced just didn't match the instigating event. The volume of stares. The fact no one believed her. Brighton is not that small - I couldn't believe the degree of hassle she was getting (or that it would happen when she went to Sweden as well). I also felt like she should have had some initial hesitation over

getting with the mountain men - she's been burned for her sexuality so recently I expected her to doubt the intentions of the men when they first made a move

. Like I said, maybe this is just me being very naive, but I struggled suspending my disbelief and it got in the way of what was otherwise a really enjoyable read.

I'll happily give this author another go.

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.

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! 😂
