A
secret desire
By day, Finn builds houses on the coastline of Maine. Afterhours, Finn dreams
of the hot older guy who walks his chocolate lab on Goose Rocks Beach. The man
of his dreams ticks all his boxes. Salt and pepper hair. Strong jawline. Blue
eyes.
His dream man is perfect fantasy material. As for actually speaking to him?
As if. Their paths won’t ever cross, and the guy is probably straight.
A new chapter
Recently divorced Joel is finally living as a gay man, but he’s not sure he’s
ready to jump into a relationship. That doesn’t stop him from noticing his new
contractor’s muscular build, hewn from hard, physical work, or his
storm-colored eyes. Or the way he wears his tool belt slung low on his hips.
The icing on the cake? There’s more to Finn than good looks. Maybe he’s the
perfect guy to share long walks on the beach and warm nights in front of a
fire.
But it’s been twenty years since Joel was with a man. While he’s not forgotten
how to flirt, he’s nervous about making a move.
Especially with Finn.

Joel closed the front door behind him before unfastening Bramble’s leash. “You had to go running off, didn’t you? You had to go talk to your doggy pals.” Bramble gazed at him with those liquid brown eyes, his tail thumping on the floor, and Joel realized he was fighting a losing battle. He could never stay mad at this dog for long. He rubbed Bramble’s ears. “Just don’t do it again, okay?”
Bramble’s soft woof might have been Okay, but Joel would lay even money it was more a case of hey, why are you complaining? You got to meet a hot guy, didn’t you?
There was no denying it—Finn was hot, from the sweep of his hair off his brow, to those gunmetal eyes, the color of the ocean during a storm, to that scruffy beard and barely-there mustache. And then there was his build: the heavy coat might have hidden his frame, but it was obvious Finn was not a slight man, capable of being blown away by a stiff breeze.
It was no surprise to Joel that the word stiff came to mind. And now that he knew where Finn lived, Joel would keep an eye out for him when he took Bramble for a walk.
Down boy. You don’t know anything about him—except that he’s hot.

I think I'll be in the minority here, but this book was a miss for me. I was
bored after the first chapter. Finn and his friends are great. Joel's ex-wife
was great. I just couldn't get past the long drawn out longing for each other
and not doing anything. It got old fast. I wanted to love this book. I'll try
reading it again before the next book comes out because there were secondary
characters that I want to see what happens with them.

Finn's Fantasy is the first book in the Maine Men series.
Finn's Fantasy is an age-gap, very low angst, and somewhat simple read.
Joel is recently divorced. He wants to live his life as a gay man, but he isn't
out to his children. Finn watches Joel walk his dog down the beach daily. Finn
is hired by Joel to build a deck which turns into friendship which turns into
more.
I unfortunately found this read a bit boring. The character building was all
about Joel; very little was known about Finn except for his friends, who will
appear in later books within the series. It was just an okay read and for that
I am giving the three-star rating.
