BLURB:
Two commitment-phobes. One ridiculous plan. A decision that changes everything…
Riley
If a no-strings hookup is required, then I’m the perfect guy.
When I meet Danny, I can’t believe my luck. A sexy wolf shifter who’s also a fireman? Who runs from relationships just as fast as I do? Sign me up.
The night that follows is one for the history books, and the best part? Neither of us is looking for a repeat.
That doesn’t mean we don’t see each other again. Without even realising it, we become friends. Friends who do everything together.
Everything with Danny is perfect, but when I start to yearn for more from my hookups, I know something needs to change.
So I come up with a plan. A genius plan. I sign up for an app that arranges anonymous encounters. No names. No faces shown.
No danger of pesky feelings getting involved.
What could possibly go wrong?
Danny
Unlike Riley, my desire to avoid a relationship has nothing to do with commitment issues.
Taking a mate would mean returning to the clan who betrayed me. I’d have to leave behind this life I’ve built, a life I’m very happy with. One where Riley occupies most of my free time.
Everything is going swimmingly until Riley tells me his plan. His genius plan, he calls it. He can’t see it for what it is—an idiotic idea that’ll land him in danger.
I can’t let him go through with it. My wolf won’t allow it. Problem is, Riley’s as stubborn as they come. Once he’s decided on something, there’s no changing his mind.
Not wanting him in danger, I realise there’s only one thing I can do. One thing that’ll keep Riley happy while also keeping him safe.
I can be his anonymous hookup.
It’s idiot-proof. At least, it would be, if I wasn’t an idiot.
Turns out Riley isn’t the only one who should be scared of hooking up and realising you want more.
Humility is the thrilling fourth instalment in the Damned Connections series and can be read as a standalone. Featuring a wolf shifter x human pairing, this spicy MM PNR romance will make you laugh and cry. Each book follows a different couple with a guaranteed HEA.
REVIEW:
Riley and Danny are both men who are broken in different ways and who might possibly be exactly what the other needs…if they can get their heads out of their asses.
Danny I connected to right away. The pain he has endured really is reason enough for him to be avoiding making any kind of a commitment to anyone. Except he doesn’t seem to realize that the commitment he already has with Riley is more than he knows.
Riley I had a harder time bonding with. I mean, I understand to a certain extent what his issues are, but the extremes he goes through to avoid catching feelings is a little ridiculous.
So far I have loved every story in the series. This one is no exception but I will admit that it took me a little longer to get into. The frustration I felt, especially with Riley, made it a little harder to get lost in the story but I got there eventually. Of course it helped when I got to have a few glimpses of old friends, especially Sebastian because he is definitely in my top two favorite characters in this series.
This story is really heartwrenching in places and it’s a little violent as well. I’m good with it but be aware that some bad people die really horrifically.
I really enjoy the new ways this author comes up with to introduce new characters to this series. Each one adds a little something that brightens up this series. Logan is my favorite new character and I’m really hoping that we get to see more of him in the future.
Paranormal stories are my favorites and this series has become one I’ve come to count on to give me something to get lost in. Can you read this story without reading the ones that come before? Possibly, but it would lose something without the knowledge of what came before. And really, there’s no reason not to read them all!
