I think this is my favorite Lily Gold story. I loved the different men and how they interacted with one another. Daisy is such a spitfire and has a very unfortunate story so it was heartwarming to read about her finding a home and people she is comfortable with. Not to mention the spice was fantastic! 10/10 scenes that left me wanting more (and in true Lily Gold fashion she did not leave me hanging for long). I would highly recommend this reverse harem. There were a few areas where I think some grammar issues were missed but I read it for free so I didn't get hung up on them.

Lily Gold writes her characters sort of all the same. A woman sorting her shit out, a fun, flighty man, a quiet, calm man, and a brooding tough guy with a cinnamon bun heart. That said, even though I’ve now essentially read the same book 4 times, I liked all of them. Fluff/dark/smut. Probably good for getting out of a reading slump.

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.
