"If there was such a thing as a platonic soulmate, then that’s what Danny was for me. I had no desire to change anything about my life."

Danny's a wolf shifter firefighter who's determined to never let anyone in. But he finds his match in Riley, and soon these two are attached at the hip. And though it's obvious to everyone but them, their feelings are anything but platonic. After years of video games and double dates, Danny's wolf starts to nudge him towards more and once that feeling is out of the box, nothing's going to put it back in.

"Riley had become my anchor. Losing him wouldn’t untether me. It would drown me."

I've been waiting for Danny's book since he was first introduced and it did not disappoint at all. Lark Taylor knows how to wring out all the emotions from her readers and I cried so much because Danny's story was so much more heartbreaking than I would've ever expected. And Riley has his own emotional trauma to deal with too. Seriously, these two have been through so much and I'm so glad they have each other now. Their love is so pure and bright and I love everything about them. I didn't think anything could come close to my love for Ferry and Leo, but Humility is right up there with Patience.

"Danny had been my favourite person in the world since I’d first met him. Getting his undivided attention was what I imagined Heaven to feel like."

Friends to lovers has never been my favorite because there's always a point where I get so frustrated that I just want to lock the characters together in a room so they can just talk things out. But I never felt that way with Danny and Riley. Even when they were being oblivious idiots or avoiding their feelings, the love and care they had for each other was so obvious. Even when they were hurt by or mad at the other, they're right by their side helping them deal with all the bad things that life throws at them.

"It was me and Riley against the world. The way it was always supposed to be. The way I’d wanted it to be since the night we’d met."

And their were quite a few bad things to deal with. Danny's past comes back to haunt them which leads to some heart pounding action and puts them in some life threatening danger. But it also introduces us to some amazing characters who I can't wait to read more about. Logan is already a favorite and I can just feel how angsty and emotionally damaging Finn's book is going to be. But I can't wait to read them. And until then, you should pick up this wolf/human, chosen mates romance and fall in love with Danny, Riley and their whole family of supes!
