Spice Level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ (Explicit & Plentiful Open Door)

When Ava stumbles into sleepy Little Greenfield with nothing but a suitcase and humiliating voice message on her phone, the last thing she expects to find is Roman—a tattooed B&B owner who offers her a place to stay.

After dumping her narcissistic boyfriend and running away from the embarrassment he caused her, she needs to focus on herself. It’s up to her to puzzle out what she truly desires in a partner, and the sparks flying between her and Roman—and his broody best friend Logan—are too tempting to pass up.

But when her past comes knocking, it’s hard not to crumble to the familiar cycle of cruelty, even when things feel so right in this small town—with both these men.

Could Roman and Logan be her soulmates? Or will Ava prove she’s exactly what her ex says she is? A deviant.

Three Hearts Hideaway is the spicy fast burn debut contemporary romance from author Luna Day. It’s a sizzling fast burn why choose MFM romance with off the charts spice and a really sex positive theme, which is absolutely brilliant to see. I absolutely devoured this book in a single sitting and loved every aspect of the strangers to lovers to found family story.

Ava was a brilliant, sexy and strong-willed FMC whose resilience and eventual self-love and self-empowerment will really empower female readers. I saw another Goodreads reviewer say they couldn’t decide if they wanted to be Ava or date Ava and I couldn’t agree more.

We also get to enjoy two swoon-worthy MMCs and I fell in love with both of them. Roman was a brilliant golden retriever boyfriend and Logan a brooding and grumpy alpha; you truly get the best of both worlds with this two absolute hunks. Ava had sizzling chemistry with both of them and the three of them complemented each other really well. Their open communication was also a breath of fresh air to see within a romance novel and there’s no third act breakup in the story.

This is a fast-paced quick read which is predominately made up of spicy scenes and let me tell you they are HOT. There’s a real variety of scenes with the three partners exploring a range of kinks and the book is packed full of blush-inducing dirty talk.

There is potentially triggering content including kink shaming, slut shaming, verbal abuse and emotional abuse, all from a narcissistic partner/ex-partner (please see a full list of triggers at the top of this review). This was well explored and I loved that we got to see Ava start to process this trauma and get to a place of self-love. This is a really sex positive book and over the course of the story Ava starts to really understand what she wants and needs physically and emotionally from a sexual/romantic relationship and she also starts to feel confident enough to communicate this within said relationship. There’s a real theme of overcoming shame culture which is really excellent to see within romance fiction.

I loved the charming Canadian small town setting of Little Greenfield. I really didn’t feel ready to part with it by the end of the book so would love to return in some capacity in a later book from the author.

You will love Three Hearts Hideaway if you fancy a light-hearted read which is the perfect combo of sweet and spicy. This is a brilliant debut from Luna Day and I can’t wait to read more from her. In fact I’m off now to read Three Hearts Hideaway again (and probably again); I just can’t get enough.
