Part of The Long Shadow Series by Duncan Gaye

Patrick Callahan comes to Cape Breton expecting easy money from a quick and lucrative timber deal. Instead, he only finds humiliation. Swindled out of his inheritance and stranded in a windswept fishing village, he is left with nothing but a single suitcase and a future that has collapsed overnight. At seven and a half feet tall, Angus MacAskill is a gentle giant with his own past. In St. Ann's, he is known for his silent kindness as much as he is for his stoic nature. He offers Patrick a bookkeeping job in his mercantile, and a place by the fire. What begins as simple arrangement blossoms into a profound connection neither man could have ever imagined. 

Set within the wild beauty of nineteenth-century Nova Scotia, Finding Harbor is a queer historical romance about survival, finding home, and a love that takes root slowly but with unshakable strength. Perfect for fans of Annie  Proulx (Brokeback Mountain), Cat Sebastian (A Gentleman Never Keeps Score) and KJ Charles (An Unseen Attraction).


This was a brand new author for us, and we have to say we thoroughly enjoyed our first read by them.

The narrative beautifully explores Angus and Patrick's relationship as they face various challenges, both literal and metaphorical, in a historical setting. The story is touching and respectful, devoid of unnecessary embellishments. We loved everything about this story; it was emotional and heartwarming, which warmed the hearts of its readers with its compelling characters.

The plot unfolds with tender moments between the couple, portraying their feelings, fears, loneliness, and the judgment of closed-minded townspeople. This love story differs from typical m/m romance reads, focusing on emotional connection and companionship rather than physical intimacy.

The characters, including supporting ones like Mary MacGregor and her husband, John David, add depth to the story. Mary's non-judgmental and supportive nature contrasts with Angus's cruel and judgmental brother, Donald.

"Finding Harbour" is a compelling read for those who enjoy emotional, historical, and small-town stories centred on male-male relationships. The author successfully captures the hearts of readers with Angus and Patrick's story. We haven't felt a story that truly profoundly touched our hearts since reading Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. Thank you, Duncan Gaye, for making that change.
