Highly entertaining!
PoV: dual, 1st person
Genre: paranormal romance, MM
Tropes / tags: neighbours to lovers, humour, found family
I picked this one up while being home with a cold, as I was in the mood for something sweet and fun - and this one definitely delivered! Seeing a hellhound finding new homes for the ‘stray humans’ he found being held captive while he was hunting rotten souls was strangely endearing (and often hilarious).
Dex and Toby’s story was super entertaining, and I really enjoyed the banter, found family and suspense. Shannon Mae had me giggling way too much throughout the story, especially at Dex, who was convinced that he was great at acting human while actively failing epically at it. And him accidentally setting the bed on fire because he couldn’t control his hellhound after his first time with Toby? So hot!
How to Flirt with a Hellhound had the perfect combination of humour, sweetness and steam - and even though I wasn’t sure about the tail at first, it totally worked here!
