About this book

Larkin is living the ultimate dream as the assistant to a professional wrestling league, surrounded by muscle-bound athletes he is more than eager to get to know. However, his lack of experience is a major hurdle he is desperate to clear. Seeking a low-stakes solution, he turns to Seb, the office’s stoic and dependable bodyguard. Larkin thinks he has found the perfect partner for a little practice, never suspecting that the man he views as a safe, friendly constant has been harboring a burning, long-term secret.

Seb is a wolf-shifter who has spent years watching Larkin flirt with everyone else while silently pining from the sidelines. Dealing with his own possessive instincts is hard enough, but when Larkin proposes they become practice partners, Seb is suddenly faced with a reality he never thought possible. His protective, caretaker nature clashes with his intense desire, creating a tension that is as sweet as it is scorching.

This delightful paranormal romance is a masterclass in the grumpy-sunshine and age-gap tropes. Fans of Lily Mayne will adore this syrupy sweet, fluffy, and hilarious romp. If you are looking for a werewolf story that balances emotional depth with high-heat chemistry, this is your next obsession.

Syrupy Sweet

August 8, 2024

Lily Mayne... you've done it again. A friend got me into Lily Mayne through the Monstrous series at the end of last year, and I have been making my way through all of her books so far because I have fallen in love with her. That being said, when she announced a wrestling series, I was so ready. I loved Impromptu Match. It was everything I have came to adore about Lily Mayne's writing style - great characters, humor, good world building. Clean Finish blew me away. It was everything I loved about...

Seb is just a little simp!

Oops...she did it again! Lily Mayne is so flipping funny. Larkin is so cute and Seb is SO hot. Daddy crossword werewolf can get it. Larkin is just a little guy, and he wants to learn some excellent moves to impress the wrestlers. You know I love a student/teacher relationship! Especially when the subject is sexy times! As big of a guy as Seb is, when it comes to Larkin, he's just a little simp. It's SO cute that this big bad werewolf daddy is so soft for this little fairy. We love to see it!...

Great Read Lite and Fluffy

Larkin Larkin Larkin is the sweetest little baby ever. Honestly, this book gave me Daddy/Boy vibes so much, and I could not get enough. Seb is totally Daddy Wolf, a caretaker. I loved how they just fit together, even though they are very opposite. I did not see Larkin as being... well, I will not spoil it. \"Wink, wink. \"It was an unexpected twist that I found to be realistic and adorable. Larkin is that one friend who just talks without thinking and must be protected at all times because he...

This book might be the ultimate heart warmer. For those of you who want extreme coziness this book is it! It’s 100% sweet without being saccharine. These two boys have broken into my Mount Rushmore of favorite MCs ever! Seb is the most darling werewolf to ever live. This boy’s pining is set at expert level and he’s nothing but the perfect, patient, compassionate match for Larkin. A totally clueless dork, Larkin is dealing with late bloomer issues and body insecurities but finds his confidence...

\"I'm just a late bloomer\"

August 7, 2024

Another perfect hit for the Goliaths of Wrestling series. What do extreme pining, flirting through crosswords, pure chemistry, patience and age gap equal out to? Imo pure happiness with a huge heaping of bedroom athletics. Larkin and Seb's physical chemistry is off the charts in this book. But the true kicker is how can Seb bring out the real Larkin and not the confident façade he uses at work? We get to see Holt and Taylor all through the book and still their relationship develop as secondary...
