Lily Gold books are so fun. This one is full of some of my favorite tropes, and all the smut my little heart could desire. The audio for this one is also great, and the male narrator does a great job of using different voices for each of the men's POVs.

POV: multiple first person

You can expect: why choose, stranded, snowed in, forced proximity, doctor MMC, ski instructor MMC, wildlife ranger MMC, strangers to lovers, opposites attract, black cat MMC, Golden Retriever MMC, Rottweiler MMC, artist FMC, "who did this to you", found family.

Rep: Black MMC

Spice: 4/5

CW: car accident, past false imprisonment, revenge porn

Daisy is her name and she's in Sweden to paint the Northern Lights. That's her story and she's sticking to it. No, there is no terrible ex whose cruel actions she's escaping. No, there is no great judgment from people she once thought close, that she can't bear to look at anymore. No, there is no job she was fired from in disgrace that she can't go back to.
 
She's just Daisy. A pretty typical Northern Lights tourist.

But then there is a damn moose in the road and she crashes her car leading her into the home of three incredibly attractive men. There is Eli the vivacious ski instructor who warms to her immediately, but holds hurt from past betrayal of a lover and his friends. Next is Riven, the mostly stoic doctor who, before long, comes to care for Daisy, but can't help but fear the worst when he hears misleading information. Finally, there is Cole, the tourist-hating ranger who has let shadows of a relationship past harden his heart. As Daisy and the three men grow closer and closer together, erotic escapades are just the beginning. Soon, they find themselves falling, but lucky for Daisy, the men are all about sharing.

Then, that ex that Daisy definitely didn't have comes calling and things shatter. With high stakes, can the four of them come together again?

Three Swedish Mountain Men is a wonderful sexual fantasy to read. The characters are clearly carved and lovable in their own ways. The romantic scenes are well-written and enticing. The stakes are well-played and believable within the novel. This book was thoroughly enjoyable and I am likely to read more of Lily Gold's work.

DID NOT FINISH: 12%

Just not what I’m into. Seems shallow

5.0

“Well, sorry I don’t know the moose protocol”

“At least getting axed into little pieces will be quicker than suffocating under several feet of snow.”

“I can walk myself,” I mutter. “Did you learn recently? You’re not good at it.”

“I’m going to bend over now,” he adds. “Make sure you pay very close attention to my ass.”

“Are you trying to escape out of the window? The latch is a bit fiddly, you have to jiggle it.”

“You made it?” “Well. I put it in the microwave. But I did it very apologetically.”

“Can you tone it down a bit?” I ask as he storms ahead. “I was just telling her she was safe here. I don’t think your random act of violence is really going to convince her.”

“That’s hardly my fault, I’m just immensely kissable.”

“It’s definitely tingling,” he says, staring intently at my neck. “Shit. That’s so cute.” “What’s tingling? Your dick?”

“How do we do this, then? Do you just—spit roast me like a pig on a stick?”

“I’m fine.” “You look like an extra from Saw.“

“Not to brag, but I’m pretty familiar with porn. I’m honestly somewhat of a connoisseur.”

“With her all bundled up like this, it’s like spooning a caterpillar.”

“Do legal matters make you horny, babe? You can barely keep your hands off us.”

Guess what? There are three hot Swedish men in this one.
Again, Lily Gold is pretty good at mixing smut and angst. And I’m here for it.
