Review

Heck ya!! Such a freaking good story.

Our lone wolf and commitment-phobe believe they are ‘just’ best friends. Really they are the two biggest idiots to idiot.

Danny is an Alpha who doesn’t want a pack and the only way to ensure that is to never take a mate. Riley is traumatized by his mother's love life when he was a child and believes the only way to live is single and carefree.

It’s part of what bonds these two as besties (that and the rest of their friends are all loved up). So they act as each other's wingman. Until they finally realize their feelings might not be as platonic as they thought.

Not only are these two wonderful together, and pretty entertaining, but there’s also a lot of hurt comfort from both sides and I’m here for every funny, emotional, and loving moment of it.

Also, I need to say that I would gladly read an entire book of Danny riling Sebastian up, and Seb getting stabby!

I can’t properly convey how much I adore this series, just so damn good. The writing, the characters, all of it!

Synopsis

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.
