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 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.
