The Finn Factor #11
Breathless
From New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author R.G. Alexander, Book 11 in the Finn Factor Series!
What Makes You Breathless?
Firefighter Wyatt Finn has been chasing Fiona Howard for a while now. But so has Thoreau Wayne. The only thing they seem to have in common is the beautiful, commitment-phobic bartender, and they'd both do anything to make her stay.
After barely escaping a burning building with his brother and his life, Wyatt starts to rethink his priorities.
When Thoreau approaches him with an idea to change their tense triangle into a true triad, he’s willing to give Plan WTF a chance.
But Fiona has secrets that could end it all before it even begins...
Warning: This is a man's world. Explicit sex. Beer. Fire. Tapas? The dropping of the trou along with potential sword touching and bisexual elephants in the room (not real elephants silly). Interfering Waynes and Finns, group texts, mystery baby daddies, and three characters who've been sidelined throughout the series finding love in a hopeless place.
*Note: This book has heavy interaction with previous characters in the Finn Factor and Finn's Pub Romance series.*

Can this triad succeed ?
This series just keeps getting better. Flighty Fiona needs to sprout some roots, and Thor and Wyatt have a plan. Thor calls it the W.T.F. Wyatt, Thor, Fiona plan.
Thor and Wyatt do have a plan, but neither knows about Fiona’s surprise.
Wyatt is questioning himself about his acceptance of sex with both Fiona and Thor, but he amazes himself at how turned on he is at the thought of Thor in bed.
The triad is super sizzling and they all want more. We see most of the family, which is always wonderful.
The trio have a heart to heart talk and each learn about the pasts.
Fiona’s surprise causes lots of drama, but in a good way.
Highly recommended. ENJOY !

Who knew Wyatt had the longest way to go?
I've been intrigued how Wyatt, Fiona and Thoreau's story will turn out from the first time we got the glimpse into their tug of war. Who knew it took almost dying to pull Wyatt's head out of his ass?
I love that the author's later books in the series feature less steamy scenes (hey, I wasn't complaining!) and more intimate get-to-know each other. Finding out about Fiona's past and why it made her so flighty and almost allergic to long-term commitment. Wyatt's hang up about how the world is supposed to be. And our favourite brewer being the perfect man in the middle and scheming his way into the perfect threesome.
Thor's Hammer, indeed.
I don't know whose story I want next more, James finally coming back home or Noah and what it looks to be a steamy romance brewing with hot Manny, Jae.

I really wish I hadn’t bought this way back when and left it to rot on my kindle. I used to love the Finn Factor world—I even own ALL 11 books of the series—but I think my tastes have changed too much.
40% in and Wyatt can still barely stand Thoreau and I’m supposed to believe this will eventually work out as a nice throuple with Fiona? I don’t think so. And quite frankly, I’m not invested enough to waste my time.
NOTE TO AUTHOR: it would be nice if you included some kind of family tree in the books. If not that, at least have it on your website like so many other authors do. You can’t have a complicated and intertwined series like this and expect everyone to remember everything.

With all the external family relationships and drama going on this was a very busy book that still felt like only half a story. The last page hints that it may continue but who knows. I remember when the Finn books were simpler and more fun to read.

Wyatt Finn, a firefighter and one of the Finns from Ireland is bewitched by Fiona Howard since they meet each other. The same happens with Thoreau Wayne, the beer breeder of the Finn’s pub.
They have loved Fiona over the years, but she can’t seem to choose between one and other. Only after Wyatt is in a fire that has him and his brother in the hospital, she gets involved with both of them.
Thor is intelligent, kind and a beautiful man that has always wanted her, but he also is aware of Fiona’s feelings for Wyatt, so he plans to have a threesome that would make them all happy. They eventually do, but things get complicated because, apparently, she’s pregnant but she didn’t want to tell any of them.
Now, at the end, they do have their HEA and everything is perfect but if I must be honest, this was one of those Finn Factor books that lacked a lot of things for me:
-I didn’t feel the connection in the ménage, and honestly, I feel like Thor and Wyatt would make a better couple.
-Fiona was this amazing side character in the previous books but now I found her annoying, selfish and I just couldn’t believe that she loved any of those guys.
-And her being pregnant with twins? Are you going to give me this shit again? This is lazy writing and I just feel like R.G. Alexander wasted a bunch of good characters because she couldn’t come up with a better idea.
I feel so bummed after reading this book because The Finn Factor is one of my favorite m/m series, buy oh my god, these families are stupidly big and it’s hard to remember who is who (considering I’m reading +10 books per month).
It’s hard for me to say this but I think I’m done with this series. I won’t be reading anything from now on, since the past few books have been more annoying that entertaining for me.

Surprisingly I found this book pretty erotic. I liked (not loved) the characters but things moved at some points too fast and others way too slow so not only was the pacing off, so was the time frame of events.

Polyamory In Romance. This is Really Good! How do I know? I am polyam! Have been for decades, same two paramours, same metamours. Plus I've met many ethical non-monogamous people over the years. Alexander has created a great fantasy in this series, built of huge families and different challenges, a higher than average incidence of non-straight males, and adventurous women. Of course some are polyam. I'm only a little sad they're always triads and never Vs like my own romantic life. I get why. IRL the V structure's more common. But Romance loves its triads because threesomes are fun to write. Plus, that third person's where realizations beyond a dyad begin. It's hard to make a choice you don't know you have.
I loved what tripped them up and how they worked their ways around all the roadblocks. None of them is stupid, they all grok how critical communication is but ooh emotions! And interruptions! The moments of heroism are SO GOOD.
(The Kindle version could've used a line edit. That's the only flaw.)

Another great addition
One thing I can def say about this story is that the author stayed true to her characters. She didn’t force Wyatt into this new direction to have WTF work from like phase 2. Instead it felt natural his change that brought the 3 together. I love love love that she stayed true to who they are and their mindsets. I loved getting to see their relationship come together and I can’t wait to get glimpses of them in future storylines.

Second read and Fiona annoyed me this time around, but the boys were still delicious.
-----------------
That was pretty awesome. Got everything I needed out of it. Wasn't sure whether it was mmf or mfm at first but, THANK GOD, the men get their own loving on eventually.

So I really enjoyed Thoreau in this one. I appreciated how determined he was with his plan to make their potential threesome work. He knew how much both he and Wyatt loved Fiona, and he was going to do everything in his power to trip Wyatt up into realizing that there was something potentially good between all three of them. His plan gave just enough of a tease to get Wyatt on board. I actually liked the slow development of things between Wyatt and Thor so much. I didn't want that to end. I wanted to see it grow further what is really only a tease of possibility in this book. I'm really hoping we get another short or something to further these three's story. Getting Fiona on board was always going to be easier since she was always in love with both guys.

“Now that everyone’s feeling like they’ve been trapped in a bad soap opera, how about we focus on some good news instead?”
These three were the ones I was least interested in throughout the series, so I wasn't exactly expecting much. The opening was strong and emotional but I stopped at 50% and wasn't sure whether I wanted to continue or not.
I did and it was mostly sex, although there was plot teasing into James and Noah's stories. I've only read the first Finn's pub story and some things confused the heck outta me so both series need to be read for this to make sense. So many characters crammed in now. I did like the epilogue and that was the point that I decided I like them after all. Poor Jake though.

Amazing
Ok read this book in one night, just like with the rest of the series it is really addictive. This is the story I have been waiting for forever. Like the rest this book is so well written and the dynamics within the family draw you in making you feel like you know are part of the family.
Highly recommend that you read this book but trust me when I say start with Curious book 1 and go through them all .. WARNING you will become addicted
I really hope to see how W+T develop together in future books (I think more spin offs based on the main characters is needed😉) plus cant wait to read everything else finn / finn pub related going forward

Aww. I really enjoyed this book but the beginning was heartbreaking.
I’m not spoiling anything but the first couple of chapters were almost hard to read at times. I love the Finn family and I felt their pain. The book is written in third person but we get to see inside Thor’s, Fiona’s and Wyatt’s heads so that’s a bonus. There are a couple of hot sexy scenes and a good amount of humor. I appreciated Wyatt’s reluctance to just jump into a threesome - it gave a sense of realism that I thought was missing from some of the other books. I’m only bummed because I just discovered this series this past week and now I have to wait for the next book.

WOW! WOW!! WOW!!! HOT!!!!!!
This Series just gets hotter and hotter. The Finn clan and the Wayne bunch just keep getting closer. This is so exciting and well written. Wyatt loves Fiona as much as Thoreau does. What will both men do to see her happy and healthy. When Fiona comes back to town, we get to see they'll do anything. WOW!! My suggestion is get a nice cool drink, a large fan and settle in. Because once you start reading THIS book, you won't be able to put it down. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK AND THIS AMAZING SERIES!!!!! Become a FINN FACTOR FAN, there's always room for more!!

I definitely recommend this book especially if you’ve been following the Finn Factor series up to now. I really loved the way Wyatt and Thoreau loved Fiona just wished I saw more happening between Wyatt and Thoreau. I really enjoyed seeing how all the other Finn/Wayne couples were doing. This really was a wonderful addition to the series.
RG never disappoints and I can’t wait to see what happened next!

Smoking hot and touching. And always a wonderful glimpse of so many past characters we have come to love.
The drama between the 2 brothers/bffs and the growth of Wyatt as he realizes what he wants out of life... this is a quick hot story you do not want to miss.
Can be read as a stand-alone. But why would you NOT read all of the Finn books??

Love love love the Finns and this book is no different!
WTF FTW indeed! Such a great and realistic look at a threesome. I love me some instalove but there was something extra sweet about these characters coming in with hang-ups even when they have super supportive and understanding families.
I definitely need to know more about these characters and their relationship!
Not only tons of Finn Family cameos but also some hints at what’s to come in the Finniverse!

Another great Finn read
The Finn books are some of my absolute favorite reads - And I read a lot! There’s so much of everything in them... The different types of characters, laughing, crying, a little mystery and intrigue, I could go on and on... And definitely all the great sexy scenes are hot! The Finn Books are hands-down an absolute must read for anybody who likes romance, comedy, drama, sex and a good plot with character development.

Love this book!
I love the dynamics of this threesome more than the previous ménage books. Each book in the series is better than the last, I love the combination of the two families they really add an extra dynamic to the book. The main characters are so easy to love.
Would definitely recommend.

Couldn’t put this down!
I read this, as is standard for me and the Finns, in one sitting. I love Fiona and her guys. Their relationship and the way they worked on it and talked about things was fantastic. They’re terrific characters and I think I’m going to reread all the wonderful Finn books just to hear more about them when they pop into others’ stories.

I didn't expected the book to start with this intense and sad scene because i thought it was going to be a light book so it spoiled a bit the reading for me.
I didn't believe either on the 3 way, didn't felt the connexion...
And while the author warn you about the Finn clan being very present i still felt lost and didn't who was who most of the time.
So yeah i wasn't very into it.

So very good
Another Finn win. I love how the family is still close but everyone has a distinct personality; a role they are trying to fit into or break free from. This triad story it's so complete, can't wait for the next part of the soap opera.

I truly thought I couldn’t love this series more...RG you’ve done it again. I’m totally in love with these new characters. They’re wonderfully flawed in he best way possible. Their connection was amazing to see. Can’t wait to see where these folks go from here. ♥️

Rushed
I loved the storyline, even though the relationship felt incomplete. It seemed like Wyatt was pushed into a threesome in order to keep Fiona, and then grew into it. This needs a major editing.

A good, fun ride, featuring a Wayne, a Finn and Fiona, a friend of everyone. The sexytimes were good, I only wish they had gone. But further into the m/m loving. I hope the next book features Noah, Wyatt’s brother and his Manny, Jae.
