The Finn Factor is a unique series, in that it crosses several genre lines. It's a contemporary series about a working class Irish family that has something for everyone. It's got m/m, m/f, m/m/f with some kink thrown in to keep it spicy. But at their core, they're stories about family and love. The character development is strong and story lines are fast paced and sexy as hell. The author does a great job of balancing new characters and old story lines so the overall story arc is fluid. This series hits all of my buttons with interesting characters, humor, realistic family dynamics and melt your face off love scenes.
If you have not picked up a book in this series, go out and do it NOW! I promise you won't regret it.
Ms. Alexander was kind enough to answer some questions for us and she is offering a $25.00 Amazon Gift Certificate to one commenter:
1. Where did the idea for the Finn series come from? It was pretty organic. First I saw a scene with Owen and Jeremy in my head. It definitely got my attention. I wasn't planning on writing a contemporary m/m at the time. I had deadlines. But it was so clear I had to start writing it. Once I did I couldn't stop. As I wrote, I saw the Finn family through Jeremy's eyes and I wanted to know more about these people who were so important to him. I wanted to find out what was going on between Tasha and Stephen. I was curious. *wink* So the series was born.
2. Was it always meant to be multi-genre? Well it had to be for me. Yes, there is a lot of m/m (the Finns are a very open-minded family) but I have to be true to who they are and what they want as individual characters. Wherever they take me is where I'm going, though I know this has caused a little bit of contention with readers who normally only read a particular genre. But if you love the family as much as I do, you want to know what happens to everyone...I hope lol
3. Which character gave you the most trouble? They all give me a little. Except for Owen. He's easy and we all know it.
4. Is there a character that is talking to you now, but it's not time for their story? Solomon the Younger. I want to find out more about him.
5. Will there be more babies? With this family? The odds are definitely good.
6. What's up next? Finn Again, where we'll revisit everyone: Owen and Jeremy, Tasha and Stephen, Brady and Ken and Little Finn, Declan and Trick as well as finally get a chance to participate in a Curious Wedding
7. Please tell me there are plans for Finn Factor #20? LOL Well at this point I'm only sure of 12...but you never know.
Are you Curious?
Jeremy Porter is. Though the bisexual comic book artist has known Owen Finn for most of his life—long enough to know that he is terminally straight—he can’t help but imagine what things would be like if he weren’t.
Owen is far from vanilla—as a dominant in the local fetish community, he sees as much action as Jeremy does. Lately even more.
Since Jeremy isn’t into collars and Owen isn’t into men, it seems like his fantasies will remain just that forever…until one night when Owen gets curious.
Warning: Contains explicit m/m nookie. A lot of it. Very detailed. Two men getting kinky, talking dirty and doing the horizontal mambo. Are you reading this? Do you see them on the cover? Guy parts will touch. You have been warned.
Scandalous - Finn Factor #2
Will it be Scandalous?
If Natasha Rivera is involved, the answer is usually yes. The owner of The Twisted Tart bakery has never been shy about expressing her opinions or her desires. The only secret she ever kept had to do with her feelings for a certain Finn and the details of their unusual relationship.
When reformed bad boy Senator Stephen Finn asks her to join him for a week of political intrigue and kink, there’s no way she can say no. Nothing has changed. His star is still on the rise and she is still too wild to be tamed. Once they get their hands on each other they’re bound to cause a scandal…but it might just be worth it.
Recipe of Warning: Take one outspoken, sexually confident woman and a repressed former bad boy. Combine until sparks fly. Add voyeurism, exhibitionism, spanking, excessive quantities of explicit sex, a kinky house party and whatever pervertible you have on hand…thoroughly shake the mixture until your wrists hurt or your batteries run low. Mmmm. Yummy warning.
Dangerous - Finn Factor #3
Do you like it Dangerous?
Brady Finn has been a cop and a Marine, but he’s never been in a situation as dangerous as this one. Waking up naked in the bed of a man he’s wanted for months—with no memory of how he got there—was only the beginning.
Rope Dom Ken Tanaka knows kink isn’t Brady’s scene, but he still can’t resist the tall, redheaded Boy Scout. When their search for a missing person requires Brady to go above and beyond the call of duty, they’ll both do what needs to be done for the mission—and give in to the undeniable passion between them.
Will their explosive chemistry last once the job is over? Or will taking that chance be more dangerous than either man is willing to risk?
Warning: Explicit male/male sexy times. Voyeurism with a touch of noncon, role playing, rope. And, once again, very serious about the graphic gay sex. I’m not sure why you don’t believe me… Also? An Evil League of Evil! Good kink vs scary villain kink (you’ve been warned), Finn Club rules and the aftereffects of The Great Rumming of 2015. I SAID RUMMING. Dirty minds.
Ravenous - Finn Factor #4
Is it wrong to be this Ravenous?
When Jennifer Finn was good, she was very very good, and when she was bad…she got arrested for assault and indecent exposure. Now Jen’s back in school and determined to find her balance. But one man seems just as determined to destroy her equilibrium, and he knows all the right buttons to push.
What began as a favor for an old friend became something more the instant Trick Dunham laid eyes on Jen. Now he can’t resist inserting himself into her life, despite warnings from her family. Little Finn might be struggling to find her path but Trick knows exactly where she belongs. What she needs. He just has to get her and their third to agree.
Professor Declan Kelley has a weakness for his old lover, Trick. The bad boy ex-con has become a wickedly sensual man who comes whenever he pleases, but never stays. When he shows up again it’s to offer Declan one of his darkest desires to date—Jennifer Finn and Trick together on a three-way platter. But that would threaten the safe, uncomplicated life he’s built for himself, and Declan’s not doing that for anything.
Unless it’s forever…
Warning: This book is a Jenga tower of sin. Explicit, graphic, shocking, teetering-on-the-edge-of-unbalanced, unapologetic sin. M/m, m/f, fwatching m/m together and liking it so much that m grabs f and makes her a part of the dirtiest m/m/f ménage in history. That’s right, I said it. Role play—the hot-for-teacher kind, the sexy-thief-in-the-night kind AND…well sometimes you just have to ignore the warnings and dive right in.
