I just kind of downloaded this from my library and found myself listening to it during an extra work day. Perverts from anytime before the last 5 years are really missing out.

Three Swedish Mountainmen is exactly the kind of book you pick up when you want something easy, fun, and spicy without too many surprises.
It’s an easy read, perfect for when you’re in the mood for something lighthearted and quick. I really enjoyed the crossover universe with Lily Gold’s other books - it added a little extra charm if you're already familiar with her world.
The plot definitely takes some liberties with realism for the sake of the spice... but honestly, that’s kind of the point. You’re not reading this for complex worldbuilding or intricate storytelling; you’re reading it for the fantasy, the humour, and the relationships. The mix of grumpy and golden retriever-type characters worked really well, giving a nice dynamic between the leads.
It’s not groundbreaking - and it's predictably sweet and spicy - but you know exactly what you’re getting, and that's part of the comfort. Sometimes, that's exactly the kind of book you need.

“You always do the thing that keeps you safe. Always. No exceptions. We will deal with the consequences after. You never jeopardize your safety just to make someone else happy.”
Oh Lily Gold, the author you are! I actually had fun reading this book, as much as her other books! I devoured this story in two days while I was in Japan! She always has a knack for making fast paced story that I, a med-pace reader, can read in just a few days.
As always, we have three guys with extremely different personalities. To be honest, it's the usual personality that you'd find in her books. The female main character has this past that traumatizes her into getting comforted by these three guys who'd fall in love with her. It's pretty repeatable at this point, but nope, I ain't gonna stop. I still have one last book to read of hers that are within this reverse harem genre and I'll definitely read it when I'm close to slump.

I enjoyed book club buddy reading this book with Amelie but oh my god there was almost no plot and that’s okay dead dove do not eat and all that. I am mostly butthurt that the men were not more involved with each other when there were so many of them. I AM happy for Daisy that she gets some justice emotionally, socially, and legally at the end of the book. Final review: so much fluid, do not read for a plot.

I've never done a Why Choose? romance before but this was on sale for $2 and I'm glad I tried it! There is definitely some heavy stuff with all 4 MCs having some trauma that they are dealing with. However, I loved the snowed in aspect, the distinction between all of the MCs, and especially how spicy it was.
