Reviews with content warning for Medical content - Three Swedish Mountain Men

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.

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 :)

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 ❤

Its not my favourite Lily Gold novel, that title probably goes to Triple Duty Bodyguards, but it’s a fun romantic read. Who wouldn’t want 3 attractive men falling for her one by one?
