Yep - I’m still down the reverse harem rabbit hole and I don’t expect to leave anytime soon! This play on the fairytale of Goldilocks and the 3 Bears was epic and I really enjoyed it. I also loved how Mac and Lia didn’t waste time in admitting their feelings for each other. And Theo was the best part of the entire book

Bow chicka wow wow. This book is definitely not for someone who doesn’t like to read about sex. There is plenty going on between Lia, Mac, Theo and Arthur.

Having read Hannah’s work before I knew somewhat what to expect with her style of writing. She did not disappoint with the scorching sex scenes one bit. The content was fresh each time in that aspect, however some of the words spoken during the acts were getting to be quite repetitive.
Lia put forth such a confident persona.
Mac was so sweet and level headed.
Theo was a horn dog
Arthur was a serious faced grizzly bear.
They have their bickering moments, but all got along so well that you can just tell they would be friends for years to come.
I liked how everything worked out in the end.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This felt like a fresh take on a retelling. I enjoyed the personalities. Would have loved a bit more character development, but the hot chemistry definitely kept me entertained.

What I loved the most about Goldie & The Bears was how it explored group dynamics and its complete respect for sex workers. Lia never gives up her career even after finding her HFN with Mac, the "just right" bear she meets while also fucking his married best friends and him at the cabin.

At times, the sex scenes read a little over-technical and I wanted some more emotional feels, but all in all this was a fun cabin sexcapade romp.

I feel like sometimes books like these come to you at the exact moment that you need them. The kind of book that makes you smile, laugh obnoxiously, swoon a smidge and just give you the overall happy mushy feelings when you’re done. I don’t know if that is what the author intended but, that is certainly how I felt while reading it! On the heels of reading a couple of deeply emotional books, this was a refreshingly lighthearted read.

Goldilocks & The Three Bears fairytale retelling with a sexy twist? Call me Intrigued!! I genuinely had fun reading this book. I can honestly say I’ve never read anything like it before. Hannah Murray is a new to me author and I’ve already gone through and saved some of her other books because… well, because I liked this one so much!

This story follows Lia as she escapes to a secluded cabin alone in hopes of filming content for her yet-to-begin online career as an adult performer. She is then interrupted by Mac, Theo, and Arthur before she even has a chance to settle in. Not only do they offer to let her stay after the misunderstanding, they also offer to help. There is no slow pace here when it comes to Lia, the guys, and the steamy scenes. SERIOUSLY! However, I also loved the banter and the interactions between the guys. I adored Theo and his overall exuberance at basically everything. He literally had me laughing out loud more times than I could count. I appreciated Mac’s sort of quiet reservedness. And, I got a lot of enjoyment out of Arthur as the grumpy one of the group.

While there were plenty of laugh out loud funny moments in this story, there were also some more serious moments, some touching moments, and some open and honest conversations about relationship dynamics that I really appreciated. That being said, I enjoyed this book for exactly what it was: a fun, sexy, and playful story!
