I really enjoyed this one and am living for these cowboy/smalltown romances. Finn is this everyman type. He’s a single dad trying to make it work with the help of a nanny, who quits with essentially no notice because she’s relocating. His casual (to him) girlfriend practically throws her highly qualified brother at him because he’s just been let go from his big city childcare job since he was the most recent hire. When Ash shows up, he’s a lot scattered and a bit of a mess. Finn’s attractive and Ash needs a beat to get himself together, but the important part is that he and Finn’s son make a connection. The biawakening and subsequent acceptance thread in this one is strong, and I loved that aspect of it. Finn’s family, to include his dad, brother and son, is all really great. This was the perfect mix of steamy and emotional. These two were meant to be, and Finn’s support of Ash had me swooning. Finn was boyfriend goals for lots of reasons even if he couldn’t be that for Ash’s sister. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that the narrators for this kept me engaged and totally helped showcase each character’s personality. They helped the vision really come to life.

Finn is a heartwarming and beautifully crafted story about family, love, and self-discovery. When Finn, a single dad and rancher, finds himself without a nanny, he unexpectedly hires Ash—his girlfriend’s twin brother. Ash, a childcare professional, has just lost his job in Oregon and uproots his life to move to small-town Texas to care for Finn’s four-year-old son. What follows is an emotional journey filled with tender moments, undeniable chemistry, and, of course, plenty of drama with Ash’s sister, Violet.
The bi-awakening aspect of Finn’s story was handled so well, and I loved watching his feelings for Ash develop. Their dynamic felt so natural. But beyond the romance, this book truly shines in its portrayal of community and the bonds of family. Finn’s relationship with his son was so sweet, and Ash was the perfect addition to their world.
If you love small-town romance, found family, and a well-executed bi-awakening storyline, Finn is a must-read. Ashley James continues to deliver, and this book is another hit for me!

Not a fan of the “daddy trope”. I had to just start ignoring the word on the page
