So this is the most easiest reverse harem I’ve ever read.
The spice is good 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
The plots are minimal. Just a bit of drama and absolutely not moral struggling with the foursome.
So that’s smooth.
It will not be unforgettable but it was what I need after a really dark reading.
The banter is really good, I laughed several times because the FMC have her fair share with one of the MMC. Her sarcasm is chef’s kiss.

To be fair I wouldn’t have even got that far but I was sick and skimming a lot. It’s just way too ‘okay, now back to the sex’ . Like the plot was getting in the way and the author didn’t want it to so any major issue that was brought up was just instantly forgotten the second it was time to get naked again. Also conversations on heavy topics were brought up at weird times too, like inappropriate and unrealistic times. Almost like the author had forgotten to work them in and went ‘uh… sure! There!’ So… yeah. It’s a shame because there was some okay bones in here of a plot and characters but nothing was fleshed out enough.
Also,

what kind of horrible friends totally abandoned you just because you supposedly had possession of cocaine? It’s not even like he was accused of selling it to minors. And, while I know a lot of people are stupid, I have a hard time believing that literally no one but the three guys could tell that she wasn’t a porn star or some junk from that video… Also, not to trivialize people who have gone through a trauma like that but is the world really that bereft of news and porn and smart people that everyone cared so much and couldn’t see the truth and she could be in another country and still get recognized? I think this wasn’t researched or thought through enough in the plot. Like most of it.

“Three Swedish Mountain Men” was my first romance containing reverse harem and why choose tropes. I honestly had a good time, the smut is excellent, and I liked the setting. However, the plot was a little flat and foreseeable and I don’t think that I’ll remember much about the novel in a couple of months. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good romance, I just need the plot to be more multilayered and the characters to be more interesting for me to love it.

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.

2.5

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 :)
