From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author R.G. Alexander
Who knew he’d be so Shameless?

Seamus Finn is a bar owner, a single father of four and the center of the Finn family… And he hasn’t been with anyone since his twins were born. An all-expense paid trip to Ireland for a firsthand lesson in brewing beer turns into a different kind of holiday as Seamus rediscovers things about himself—and his sexuality—that don’t fit into the carefully controlled balancing act his life has become.

Giving in to a fling is one thing, but when risk-taking, over-the-top billionaire Bellamy Demir follows him home and meets the family things may get crazy…
But crazy might be just what Seamus needs.

Warning: Explicit m/m erotic romance full of awww, oooh, and oh my. Oh and some super-hot naked wrestling in a basement, a British television fetish, and maybe a little Billy Joel…is that weird? You may be right.

(This book is a stand-alone romance but in the same family as the rest of the Finn Factor. Read them all!)

Meh. Lots of back and forth with this one. It's been so long since I read the last book and the author mentions things that occurred in it without recapping what happened so I had a hard time keeping up at times. In fact the first chapter had me so confused until the next chapter jumps back to 5 months before. It seemed so unnecessary, the story could have started there. I really hate that. Also with all the family members it was definitely difficult to remember who was who, might be easier if their was a family tree included? They kept talking about someone named James like I should know who he is and I couldn't remember anything about him other than it was obvious that he was a family member. There's also a part in the book where something happens with one of the baby mama's and I was thrown for a loop because it came out of nowhere and felt contrived. All in all, I liked Seamus and Bellamy, the sex was hot and it was great to see old favorites but I would have rated this much higher if I didn't spend a good portion of the book confused and frustrated.

Hoping Solomon gets his story next.

I know this says that it can be read as a standalone but i think it's better read as a series. I've actually read three of the previous books but even I was confused at times since so many people were mentioned. Still a good m/m book though and I'll definitely be reading more from the Finn's.

*** I have adored this series characters! ***
We are back amongst the clan of Finn, and Seamus, 39, is our focus. He's a single Dad of four, who's never been in love, and the solid rock everyone leans on.


Then, while on vacation/business in Ireland, he comes up against Bellamy Demir. The billionaire with a killer body, green eyes, brown skin, and silky sable hair...

rocks Seamus' core. He's intrigued and irritated.

The Finn's are pale, blue-eyed redheads mostly, and the difference is striking. Seamus must sort out his thoughts, because he wants Bellamy with every fiber in his being, but he can't get away from his practical ways, and immediately finds reasons it won't work. Bellamy is a rich, free spirit, a giver, a very open, honest man who loves to put his money to good use and helps people, and loves sex and wrestling.

These two have explosive, gritty and powerful sex when they finally get to it. They do have issues.
Seamus must get home to his kids, business

and family, while Bellamy wants to take him to Paris for a three week romp. It takes some time, talk, and bold action to have Seamus finally realize what a new, loving, life could happen if he would just let it happen.

As always, A.G. Alexander gives us a variety of magnificent characters, a wonderfully flowing tale and a steamy sexual pair. I've read nearly every book in this series. They each can stand alone..
I highly recommend this amazing story. ENJOY !

The sixth book in "The Finn Factor Series" and I have mixed feelings about this book. First, Seamus and Bellamy - they were scorchin' hot! A holiday fling that turns into more. Despite Seamus feeling like he has to devote his life to his kids and can't have a partner as well. Then there is Bellamy, we never really get into his head which is frustrating. What we see is a rich, dare-devil playboy who falls for Seamus just from one look. He then pursues him, pulling out all the stops - including, following him across an ocean and doing other grand gestures. Still though Seamus is unsure and treats Bellamy as if he is a dirty secret.

I will say - these two do finally get their act together and get their HEA. This book starts out hot and heavy, sorta stalls out in the middle (I almost stopped reading it), and then picks back up the last 20% -

Personally, while I have enjoyed these characters and the set up and I love Jeremy and Owen. I think this series is just about played out. I don't think the author is done though as she has introduced several new Finns from Ireland and set the stage for the next book (which is already listed on her website). I hope, if she is going to continue to write these Finn's that the stories can be shaken' up a bit as they are becoming just a tad predictable and the charm and pizzazz that enticed me for the first few books is fizzling out. The heat and chemistry is there... but that is beginning to be all it is..

3.5 stars -

Really enjoyed this story although it did drag a little at one point. Seamus takes care of everyone. Is the ultimate nice guy and father of 4 children. He takes nothing for himself and gives with heart. He is sent on a holiday to Ireland to learn more about brewing beer and he meets Bellamy. Bellamy is a wild guy, almost reckless and super rich but is lacking stability - until he meets Seamus. Bellamy chases Seamus back to the US and waits carefully to show himself - the waiting element was frustrating and Seamus just couldn't give in to Bellamy - he was stubborn, proud and still in the closet ( although he didn't even know he was gay /bi ). After a Finn family intervention filled with love & support, Seamus could let go and drop his pride .... Bellamy was perfect for Seamus - really enjoyed these guys

Losing its charm.

2.5 stars. I liked the first couple of MM books in this series and skipped all the ones with females. They were pretty good, with some really hot sex scenes and book 3 also had some plot. But the cousins started being added in that book. This story with Seamus was a little tough to even like. Saint Seamus, traveling without the kids, is Mr. Judgey McJudgerson when he sees Bellamy, and immediately dislikes him. Never met him before, they don't even speak together. When they do actually meet, every interaction they have is Seamus being bitchy and mean, except while he actually has sex with Bell. Mostly angry, rather boring sex in this one. I was hoping for more of the smut level of book one, at least. Sadly, no.

There is almost no character development for Bell. I didn't feel any chemistry between them at all. Seamus character was unlikeable, with a martyr complex. Bellamy was almost in the background of the whole story, except when being shoved away (angrily) by Seamus, and being a billionaire steamroller. Then, the plethora of cousins, kids, bar employees, all of whom will probably be in future stories, plus the lack of any cohesive, or coherent, plot, make me quite reluctant to read more of these. Just too confusing and no spark at all in this one.

Train wreck, thy name is Shameless. This book was painful to read for many reasons. So the way I approached this series is by reading all the MM books and skipping all the books that had a female main character; and that's ok because each book can (kind of) be read as a standalone even though the same characters feature in all the books. Many people complained that Curious was very porny and hot but without substance and I have to agree, but the sex was hot and Jeremy and Owen have been best friends for years, so they had that going for them. I guess I enjoyed seeing their friendship become a porn series.

But... I can't say the same thing about Shameless. Shameless was also a very porny book, with dirty, porny ridiculous talk considering that Seamus and Bellamy don't have any history together. Those two were totally ridiculous because if a total stranger that I don't even like would whisper in my ears the things that Bellamy did to Seamus, I'd laugh my ass off and then knee him in the balls.

SO basically the whole book was like a porn set, where the two meet and fuck and .... that's it! And wouldn't you know it, all of a sudden, they're both suddenly in love and can't stay away from each other. I couldn't buy into that at all! Not a penny's worth!

Also both Seamus and Bellamy (but mostly Bellamy) acted like overgrown babies with a permanent hard on the whole time! I know that's a disgusting image, but all Bellamy did was show his hard-on (and want to fuck regardless of circumstances) and whine like a spoiled toddler (complete with the terrible two tantrums). Not only wasn't Bellamy likable, I totally hated his ass!

I know I'm part of the minority here that didn't enjoy themselves reading this book.

Honestly, I don't know how I finished this. Supposedly, you can read this as a standalone. Then who the hell are all these people?

Flat, one dimensional characters, repetitive sex scenes and too much back and forth without a reason. I don't know what was the point of this book.

Despite all the sex I’ve been hankering for, and an ok story with one of my fave tropes - the near virginal hot single dad... unicorn... the writing and plot just wasn’t “enough.”

A little heartstring tug here and there but in the end I felt like I read a woman’s version of men - which is to say - they didn’t behave like real men would.

Sigh...

M/M My first book from this author and I absolutely loved it. I kinda understood the pushing away of Seamus, fits his personality. I understood his hesitance and insecurities. I loved that Bell never gave up on him. I loved that it was love at first sight for Bell and he pursued Seamus, even though Seamus put up so many walls. This book made me want to read the series.

3,5 rounded to 3 stars

This is my first book by R.G. Alexander.
I haven't read the other books in this series, but this one can be read as a stand alone. I think I was not in the mood for so much sweet talk, AND one of the characters got me really angry at one point!

I am giving all the 3 stars for the HOT scenes because they were perfectly described and I really liked some parts of the book, but I just, I couldn't get past the sugary sweet talk.

I liked the first part of the book more. I was intrigued by Demir Bellamy. He was hadsome, rich and a sex god and I couldn't wait for Seamus to give into temptation.
The second part of the book came with many unnecessary drama and angst and many times I wanted to slap Seamus myself! I'm glad Bell loved him enough to keep coming back.
It was somehow predictable and I would have wished it surprised me more, but I must repeat myself: the HOT scenes were really awesome!

Maybe I will try some of the other books in this series someday. I've read only great things about some Finns.

I enjoyed all the Finn family books that I’ve read. This one is about Seamus the brother who took over their father’s bar and is raising four children on his own. He’s also keeping a lot is secrets from his family. He hasn’t told them about what happened to the twins’ mother or that he’s bisexual or more likely gay. On a trip to Ireland he meets Bellamy. Physical attraction and hate ensue. Of course this all leads to great passion and love. Seamus is fighting it all the way. It’s a fun read and the sex is hot.

Finally, Seamus gets his turn!

I've been looking forward to Seamus's story, and I was not disappointed!

Some parts definitely came as a surprise - who knew Mr. Mom was bi but leaning more towards men?

All things aside, Seamus got the hot steamy story he deserved and his kids got the happy family they didn't know they needed.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

There, I just doubled the stars!!!!

I've been waiting for Seamus story because he's a special person, so caring and selfless that I hoped he find someone who would take care of him. And then Bellamy shows up with all his wealth and persistence. But Seamus never seen himself as gay or.....??????

With every book in this series I think "this can't be as good as the previous....." and again I'm wrong.

This is a story about a caring, dedicated, loving, selfless father who will do anything to protect his family even if it means sacrificing his own heart. The one person that can win his heart won't take no for an answer. I ended up crying like a baby at the end of the book.

This author has a way of writing that's so full of emotions and love that I'm literally a ball of feelings when I'm finished.

I loved this story the must because of the kids and how they do as kids always do; they don't push anything under the carpet, they says it how they see it.

The chemistry between Seamus and Bellamy I'd sizzling and hot and the love scenes is drool worthy.

The writing style is easygoing and filled with dialogues and there are no unnecessary descriptions of surroundings so I get lost in this story.

Now I'm finished with all the Finn's I have on my kindle but I want more, more, more............

BR with my girl Cass!

This was my most anticipated book of the series. And it didn’t just live up to my expectations, it surpassed each and every one.

I fell in love with Seamus as soon as I met him in book one. But thinking him a good man is like thinking the iceberg that took out The Titanic is a single ice cube. In this you slowly discover how much empathy and generosity make up his beautiful soul.

And Bellamy. Seamus may think he hates him, that he’s the last thing he needs but for the first time he couldn’t be more wrong. He’s just as generous but also greedy for Seamus and highly possessive in the sexiest way. Omg this man is hot as the sun.

This book is far and away my favorite of the series.

So I absolutely adored Curious and have been a fan of the Finn Factor books since, but this book was just okay. The first chapter started out so confusing and I was searching through the last book to figure out what I missed. The whole situation with the twins' mother was so strange and seemed completely unnecessary. The Finn family is so large, it is hard to keep them straight. They are so nosy that I just want to yell at them to mind their own business!

Seamus was frustrating and Bellamy was basically just a hot, rich man who threw his money around. He had no depth or character development. The ending was ridiculous. Why was Bell still groveling to Seamus? Seamus should have had to work for it.

The sex was definitely hot and I am still madly in love with Jeremy (always the voice of reason), but there were too many characters and too much meddling. The set up for future family books just overwhelmed this one and Seamus and Bellamy were lost in the chaos.

**I was given a free copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review**

While I liked this book I didn't connect to these characters as much as I did some of the others. Seamus is great, but maybe it's because we just don't get that much time with him actually spent getting to know Bellamy it never really connected with me. We're in Seamus' head throughout this story and he spends so much time on his own and undecided about what he wants to do I didn't feel the romance build between these two.

Of course Seamus with his kids and the family is great, but I wanted to get to know Bellamy and why of all the people in the world Seamus would choose him. Obviously Bellamy was committed and trying to figure out how it would all work out, but Seamus was so in his own head through most of the book it was frustrating.

I'm going to chalk this one up to being an anomaly with this series and know that it's likely I'll love a lot more of the other books coming up. This one just wasn't perfect for me.

I really wanted to like this one more than I did because Seamus is a great character. I was really looking forward to his book but the romance fell flat for me. Probably a lot of that is due to the fact that he was busy pursuing a woman for the first part of the book and trying to ignore his attraction to Bellamy. Even once he was back home he spent so much time in his head trying to figure out what he wanted that we didn't get enough Seamus and Bellamy time together. I really love Seamus but I'm not sure Bellamy got to know him well enough for him to pursue him quite as much as he did. It didn't feel real to me but I'm still a fan of this series.

3.5*

Love Seamus. His story, although short, was filled with a lot of emotion.

Seamus has been putting everyone's wants and needs ahead of his own for so long, it's hard for him to let go and just enjoy himself. But when his family sent him off to Ireland he was able to do just that, at least for a while. When he meets Bellamy everything he believes about himself is kind of thrown for a loop, and his head is sent spinning. Bell was a handful, and I wasn't quite sure how I felt about him at first, but he really grew on me...and he was exactly what Seamus needed!
Unfortunately Seamus let his uncertainties and insecurities get the best of him. As frustrating as that was, it was also completely understandable, because of who Seamus is. I'm just really glad Bell fought for him...no matter how hard Seamus made it.

I love how wonderful of a father Seamus is- I can't tell you how many times I teared up at his interactions with his children, the love he has for them just leaps off the pages.

I admit, the book starts out a little confusing, as I was thinking it would pick off where Finn Again left off...with Seamus on his way to Ireland. But we're in present day, after the trip had already taken place. I think that threw me a little, but once I got into the story it was all good.


Thanks to my cousin for lending this to me!

*4.5 Shameless Seamus stars!*

I think Seamus might be my most favorite Finn yet! I loved LOVED this book. It had everything, sexy and hot and sweet and swoony and all the Finn's (which is it possible to EVER get enough of this family?!) I was SO excited to get more of Seamus. I've loved him in every previous book, this quiet, strong, but so lonely it was palpable man who adores his children and is so fiercely protective about his family. I love his relationship with Stephen, and his close friendship with Solomon the Younger is so awesome. He's just such an all-around fabulous guy but when he crosses paths with Bellamy Demir, he turns into this hot, dirty talking guy who for once in his life is going to let go of all that control and his responsibilities and do something insane like have a fling while on his first vacation in seven years. Bellamy was intense and romantic and so over the top, in Seamus's face and it was so much fun to watch Seamus pretty much just fall victim too all that is Bellamy.

This family, man. I love every single one of them and I love how they are SUCH an important part of everyone's story. And the new characters? Thor and Fiona ... just fantastic. I'm dying for the next book. I hope it's James. But maybe Solomon? I don't even care. I just want more Finn's.

Solid 4.5 stars.
I'm so freaking in love with Bellamy Demir I can't even begin to write a proper review. So, forgive me if I don't make any sense at all.
This is the story of Seamus Finn, the oldest son of our beloved family. Each and everyone had their own love story but with Seamus it is a little bit different 'cause he's a father of 4 children and the owner of a pub. He's always taken care of his family, women who were 'victims' and he is a loving father, brother and son.
So let me say this first: I reaaaally liked him since the beginning because he's just a great person, you know? Someone you want to have in your life as a friend or family, or lover. He's just too damn perfect.
But yes, he has a flaw. And that is forgetting about himself. Letting other things be in his mind, always trying to catch up with the to-do lists and looking after everyone. He's almost 40 years old, so he kinda stop looking for someone to be with. And yes, he's bi. Or that's what's he's been hiding all these past years. He just ignored the fire within him.

That is until Seamus goes to Ireland on a holiday trip and meets Bellamy Demir. And my god. He's not only a beautiful green-eyed man, with dark skin and a smile that can melt your heart, he's also rich and smart and funny and COCKY. Everything Bellamy wants, gets. And that includes Seamus Finn.

They feel the attraction between them instantly. But even though Bell acts on it, Seamus decides to ignore every inch of him that wants him as badly as ever. He's almost 40, for fucks sake! And a father of 4 kids! He just can't believe it nor act on it.
But that is a dangerous game.
Somehow, Bell gets into his pants and takes everything that is left of Seamus. It begins with sex but they end up being in love with each other, even with the big family and all.
There's sill fire in our older Finn, aka. Mr. Mom. And that's only because of Demir, who's just too fucking perfect to be true.

So, my rate was almost 5 stars and let me try to explain why:
I've been in love with these books not only because they're fucking sexy, and ALL the characters are funny, lovable and entertaining... I kinda feel part of their family too, or I wish I was.
Brady and Ken, Seamus and Bell are my two favorite couples this far and that's because I just love their relationship. Love the way they complement each other. Love the fact that they just make the other the best version of themselves.
I mean, I'm fucking happy for them. I truly am.
I feel like I've been with them as their friend and family. Can you believe it?
I've cried with them. I've laughed with them too, so many times...
And yes, fuck yes, I wish I was part of that family in real life.
They're fucking great. I just... I can't ask for more.
I THANK with all my heart to R.G. Alexander, because she wrote the family I was I had, and every single one of them deserves to be happy.

2.5 stars. This book definitely went to my mehh shelf. Didn’t like the MCs. Bell was the billionaire cliche and Seamus didn’t know what he wanted. This book can be read as a stand-alone but there are a thousand other characters from the previous books.
The best thing about it was that it was free.

This is total Cinder-fella, Finn Style. If I was a billionaire, there is no way in HELL I would give up my pad in NYC to live in suburbia as parent to four kids, never mind how good the sex with their father. But in a fairy tale, it is totally possible, so good for Seamus Finn, snagging a rich prince charming for himself. He totally deserves all the good things, it is just not very believable.

Bellamy is the sexy dark beast to Seamus’ hidden beast! This was so sweet and amazing! Freaking fairytale if you ask me, I just adored it! Jake is so sweet and little Sean and the twins are just precious! So so happy for their ending! Loved it!
