Finnegan's Promise by Carol Lynne

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Calder Finnegan is a professional football player. He is a loner, no wife, no children, no friends. He has only an estranged father. Fin was a mommy child: when he was young his father worked all day, when he went home from work Fin was already asleep and he saw his da only during breakfast time. His da worked also on saturday and sunday, cause he had an irish pub open all days. And so, for little Fin, his father preferred his pub to his wife and his son.

Now his mother is dead and is father gets cancer. He is dying and asks Fin to return home for some months. During the off season Fin goes home and finds a good surprise: his father's bartender, Mick, tall and dark and very sexy. But Fin has to careful, he can't open live his homosexuality, a pro football player can't be gay. And so since seven year Fin has never had a lover and when he meets Mick... the temptation is too strong and Mick agrees to mantain a low profile.

I think this is the best romance I have read by Carol Lynne till know. It has some point of originality: Fin, a strong hunk man with a deep insecutiry when it is matter of feeling. Mick, sure and steady, but with some unfinished business in his past. This relationship, which works through the sad moments of life. Other points I have found unsolved: above all Mick's past, throws on the table withour further investigation. But I like Lynne's approach to the career problem of Fin, and the acceptance of Mick of that situation.
