FINDING FINLAY is beyond a doubt one of the most satisfying romances I’ve read in a very long time—a slow, smoldering burn written with deft insight and deep understanding of the delicate interplay between lovers.
Ruby Moone’s outstanding novel is a study in the health of the human spirit. Two flawed men begin an awkward partnership as “pretend boyfriends.” One, a security investigator named Finlay, has been hired to act as the gay lover of a company executive named Aaron—a widower with a grown son and an achingly solitary private life. The ruse has been set up to find the source of rot and disloyalty within Aaron’s company, the idea being that making Aaron an openly gay man will stop the efforts of an unknown saboteur to start vile rumors about the widower's sex life.
Finlay and his security agency soon find that the sabotage goes deep, as unknown actors are moving along several paths to destroy Aaron’s successful company. But the arrangement between Aaron and Finlay doesn’t just close off a vein of destruction—it opens and then threatens a vital vein into the hearts of both lonely men.
Finlay…rude, snarky, cynical Finlay…is a thirty-something gay man physically scarred by war wounds and psychologically scarred by being cast off by a bitter homophobic father. His solution to desperate loneliness is to wrap a tourniquet tightly around his emotions, to escape any possible entanglement with other people, to the point of almost total isolation in case he might get wounded even more.
Since his divorce and his former wife’s subsequent accidental death, outwardly handsome Aaron has become a ghastly shadow of a man. Aaron is secretly bisexual, but his liaisons are scraped clean of the slightest emotion. His 26-year-old son Travis, unfortunately, has borne the brunt of Aaron’s parched emotional state. He desperately loves his son, but the damage is so deep that Travis has cut him off completely while taking up pills and booze and unsavory companions.
A commitment-phobe is thrown together as a fake boyfriend of another man who’s even more dedicated to shutting off any whiff of human tenderness. What could go wrong? More importantly, what could possibly go right?
FINDING FINLAY is a deeply moving story of hurt and hate and love and final redemption. It’s my happy duty to urge you: READ THIS BOOK. I dare you to do it with a dry eye, without a shiver of despair and of expectation. I urge you to relish the many ironies, the deft portrait of several compelling human beings, the splendid writing.
