Highland Hideaway

by Lily Gold

From TikTok sensation Lily Gold comes a brand-new spicy “why choose” romcom, featuring three steamy Scottish heroes… and one lucky girl who doesn't have to choose.

One bubbly city girl lost in the Highlands.
Three grumpy Scots determined to keep her there.

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.

Highland Hideaway is a blistering standalone romance featuring three swoony heroes, grumpy-sunshine banter, and tons of found-family warmth. Cosy up and get ready for your next sweet-but-sizzling comfort read!

Tropes:
Reverse Harem
Socialite stranded
Grumpy X sunshine/brooding silent type/golden retriever

Loved 🥰:
- firstly the fact that this book read so easily and fast. It has a lot of pages but honestly does not feel like it when you’re reading it so do not let that put you off.
- all four characters had such distinct personalities and I love the way that we get to see each of them separately and how they all come together
- these three men are so protective and only want the best for Summer it was just such a pleasure to read
- some swoon moments which made my heart swell, some romance which tugged on my heartstrings and the spicy was spicing, everything needed was in it!

The only thing I personally wanted slightly more of was a couple more chapters in the boys POV’s rather than Summer’s

Spice:
🌶️🌶️🌶️

Range & Rep:
Adult romance
Polyamory rep

I devoured this. I've read from Lily Gold before and enjoyed it, but this book hit on another level. We've got trauma, emotionally fucked up main characters, an adorable lamb named after baked goods, all set in the Scottish Highlands, and some of the best ADHD rep I've seen in a book yet.

There is so much growth throughout this book, for our FMC, for each of 3 men (maybe less so from Fraser, he was pretty damn solid throughout), with the mother, even with her best friend. This read really fast and easy, but didn't feel rushed at any point. There were a some details that weren't necessarily a massive surprise, but that never felt like a detriment in any way. I adored this whole story and this has made me really excited to prioritize catching up on the rest of Lily's backlist.

Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book!
