Highland Hideaway Book Review: Lily Gold’s Spicy Reverse Harem Romance

Title:  Highland Hideaway 

Author: Lily Gold

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Trope: Reverse Harem

Rating: Enjoyed

Spice: Flamin Hot Cheetos

Synopsis: Yesterday, I was a fashion influencer on a trip to a luxurious Scottish spa. Today, I’m the internet's favourite trainwreck. All it took was one embarrassing viral video to end my career and leave me stranded in the Highlands.

I find shelter on Lochview Sheep Farm. It’s certainly not a luxury vacation spot… unless you count the three huge Scots running the place. There’s Cameron, the grumpy shepherd who calls me ‘princess’ when my heels get stuck in the mud… before carrying me inside. 

Fraser, the flirty rancher with the auburn hair, who promises to wear his kilt just for me.

And Alec, the commanding farm manager, who seems to hate me… until a sudden storm sends his protective streak into overdrive.

They all assume I’m just a clueless city girl. But when they find out what I’m hiding from, they swear to take care of me. Soon, I’m being kissed in freezing Scottish lochs, cuddled in front of the roaring fireplace, and being spoiled like the princess they once accused me of being.

And the best part?

My three handsome Highlanders are used to sharing everything…And now they want to share me.

Thoughts: She’s back! I have read all of Lily Gold’s books, and have enjoyed every single one. I am so glad she’s back at writing and blessing us with some sexy men, spicy scenes and real world issues. 

If you are looking for diversity, this isn’t the book you’ll find it in (check out Three Swedish Mountain Men), but the lack of melanin is balanced out with some very real and serious conversations about anxiety, folks who learn differently and emotional abuse from a parent. 

Summer dropped out of fashion design school and into influencer life. Something someone with a people pleasing complex is great for apparently, unless you suffer from anxiety and panic attacks as well. The scenic farm littered with sheep in the Highlands of Scotland is the perfect setting for some relaxation and regrouping.

Lucky for her, the small airbnb comes with three sexy Scottish farmers. 

With all the usual male ingredients:

1. Flirty & fun

2. Strong & silent grump 

3. Unassuming alpha

 Lily Gold has spun a wonderfully fun and important story about setting boundaries and reclaiming your life. Throwing in an adorable ewe lamb to offset the horrible eyeroll of a mother was a wonderful choice because otherwise I would have spent way more time cussing then smiling. 

If you are a fan of intentional and quiet acts of love, mid to low drama and spicy explorative sex involving three big males, then this is probably the book for you. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am so glad to have another Lily Gold book to add to the collection of RH romances.
