Fish Out of Water by Marsha Hinds

Another of my kink are the may / december relationships and as I said recently also the pair where one of the character is phisically stronger and bigger than the other. I think the main reason is that I like the feeling of protection deriving from this situation: older age and bigger body are tangible prove of this protection.

Fish Out of Water is the second enstallment in the story of Finnian and John. Finnian is a merman, he has loved John from afar for many years even when the man was married. But now John is widow and to protect him from a vicious siren who wanted to kill him, Finnian has renounced to his voice in exchange of a human body. Like human Finnian looks like a barely age boy even if the merman is centuries years old. Plus, without voice and newly to all the human things, Finnian is like a child in front of the world and John has to drive him through all a variety of discovery.

John is not gay but he is lured by this young boy. The author has decided to easy his conscious in being attracted by a man, decipting Finnian in a non treating way: Finnian is fragile and small in every part of his body, and totally dependant by John; decisely not a mainly figure. He even looks like a girl from afar. A man who looks like a woman in a M/M romance sometime makes turn up the nose: but in this case I can't see a different way too write the story. Finnian has to be fragile and feminine and looks innocent, he has to moved the primal instinct of John. If not, John would not accept to be in love with a man.

I like the way in which the author has described Finnian, his way to exprime himself without words and to reacts to the strange wolrd around him. For me it's the reason to read this book.
