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.

I really like Lily's writing style. Faking with Benefits was great and this one is no different, but the one thing I think could improve (which appeared in both books) was the level of grovelling leading to the resolution. 

Our FMC Daisy
almost dies because of the actions of one of the MMCs, not to mention all the blame she takes on after her recent SA traumas
. And then it's immediately all forgiven?! Pfft. I understand the need for an HEA, but just a little more fleshing out would move this to a 5⭐️ rating for me.
