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.

A great start to a new series!
I was so lucky to get a copy of both the ebook and audiobook for review. I’m a huge fan of KC Wells writing and John Solo’s audio performances. The two of them have collaborated on several books and I have loved them all. I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning listening to Finn’s Fantasy because I just couldn’t consider going to sleep without finishing it. Thank goodness I no longer have to get up early to go to work. 😊
I loved Joel and really felt for him that he lived for 20 years married to a woman when what he really wanted was to be with a man; coming out just wasn’t acceptable when he was young. I liked that he and his ex-wife are still friends. Unfortunately, one of his kids isn’t OK with the divorce and he doesn’t even know yet that his dad is gay.
Finn has been watching Joel walk his dog every day and has become infatuated with him. He figures there is no way that Joel is gay but then Joel hires him to build a deck on his newly purchased house… That begins a great relationship.
I loved the group of Finn’s friends and can’t wait for more books in this series.
This story really got all of my emotions involved. John Solo’s voice was perfect for this book and he remains securely on my list of favorite audiobook performers.

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.
