He’s bossy, moody, and overprotective. He’s also a pro athlete who needs to focus on winning games and staying out of the headlines.I’m fiercely independent and need a man like I need a second period each month. So when our worlds collide, I never expected him to be the one to jump in and save me. Especially not when my roommate disappears, leaving me with her baby.I’m clueless about babies—and … baby.
I’m clueless about babies—and it shows. Good thing Alexei isn’t. With six nieces and nephews and an apparent hero complex, the dude is both sexy and more than capable. It’s a combination that makes it easy to forget we’re just playing house.

Talk about swoon worthy. This book has the feels that make you believe in love and all things happy ever after. Such a great story of being there for someone who just drops a bomb on you, and holding on to the end. Loved every word.
Finding Alexei is a perfect, sweet romance story.
Who knew that a big football linebacker would have such a beautiful heart and become the knight in shining armor that Ryleigh never thought she would ever have. Alexei steps up to simply help Ryleigh out of a situation she has no control over and a baby she is watching for a friend. As they all spend time together he realizes that she is beautiful inside and out and she and Ella are perfect for him.
Ryleigh has never wanted to depend on anyone, but circumstances have put her in a position that she needs help and Alexei couldn’t have walked into her world at a better time. Now, he is offering her so much more than she ever could have imagined.
Just for the record, Alexei is MINE! I don’t think I’ve read a book where I find the hero so damn HOT and makes my ovaries explode the way Alexei did in this book.
He goes out of his way to help a damsel in distress when he witnesses a man harassing Ryleigh out in the streets in the middle of the night and from that point on, I can just tell you that this man kept on making my heart soar more and more with each turn of the page.
Alexei is a pro football player and he’s not one to settle down. In fact, he hasn’t thought about settling down. He likes to play the “field” and just do his thing. There’s nothing more important to him than the game. But when Ryleigh and Ella storm into his life, he’s a changed man.
Alexei starts feelings things he never thought he would. He can’t see his life without these two females in it after having them stay with him for a few days. Now to convince Ryleigh to stay forever is going to be the challenge of his life.
I loved Ryleigh, even though she was struggling to make ends meet, she was never the materialistic type, she wasn’t hanging around Alexei’s bachelor pad because he had money and could provide for her and Ella, no on the contrary, she was making it very hard for Alexei to convince her to stay and to stay forever!
A total swoony, short, quick read that will have your ovaries exploding!
Oh my God!!!! What an amazing 6 star story that was read in one sitting and even then I wanted more.
Alexei is a pro football player who meets someone but not any someone but one strong woman who’s down on her luck. She doesn’t want pity from him but she needs help. He is willing to give it no strings attached.
Alexei was presented in an another story and I didn’t like him very much. In this story he’s an hero to Ryleigh. He steps up even if he doesn’t have too. And he doesn’t let up. I think this is her best storyline to date. I love the amazing characters that made me feel so much.
The storyline was addicting and captivating. I may have swooned a time or two. Bottomline, this is a must read.
Can safely be read as a standalone. Told in a dual POV with an HEA. I strongly recommend this story.

After meeting Alexei in Dear, Jane, I needed more of the man, so when it was announced that he’d be getting his own HEA I couldn’t have been more excited and Finding Alexei did not disappoint. It’s all kinds of sweet, smexy, swoon worthy and majorly ovary obliterating!
I loved Alexei in Dear Jane. He was such a good, and true friend to Jane, it was hard not to fall in love with him and now after getting to really see the man’s heart, it’s hard not to adore him. I will admit that there were moments I thought he was too good to be true, but he proved over and over again how golden his heart truly was.
Ryleigh is a force. She doesn’t always think that she is, but she is. She may be scraping by but she is determined to keep going and not give up, no matter what. And though she is dealing with a lot, her heart hasn’t gone cold and cynical. She still has a spark inside her that won’t be put out.
Alexei and Ryleigh’s journey to their HEA is a sweet and fun one that is low on angst and high on ovary exploding moments. This isn’t to say that there aren’t a few bumps in their road, because there are, but they are ones that were expected and I enjoyed how they navigated their way around and through them. The pull between them is there, but it’s Ella ~ the baby ~ who really brings them together by showing the other who they are down to their very cells. The ‘big’ bump in the road wasn’t all that big and I’m kinda meh about it in all honesty, but I really liked where they were at in the end.
This is a sweet, fun and quick read that’s low on drama and high on heart melting moments. We get to catch up with Jane and Weston, as well as Keaton and Slate from Love Machine and even an update on Cam and Natalie from Flirting with Forever and find out what they’ve been up to and that epilogue was all kinds of goodness. So, if you’re looking for an romance that is low on angst, then this is a must click for you!

Alexei has a life that most men would love to have, he’s unattached and free to enjoy bachelorhood, has loads of money and a nice pad, and he spends his days working on a football field. But with all that he has, at times he feels like he might be missing something, that is until a beautiful woman and the baby she is caring for wander into his life. The moment that Alexei spotted Ryleigh on the street being hassled by a man from the club that she has just exited, he couldn’t help but want to come to her rescue.
Bringing unwanted attention to his very public life could cost him dearly, but for some reason that little fact was the last thing on his mind in that moment. All he wanted to do was save the beautiful woman from the clutches of that unsavory man, and take her far away from that sleazy side of town. Not realizing this one act of kindness would change the course of his life… and give him the “something” that had been missing for so long!
With tender, sweet moments to warm the heart, and sultry moments to curl the toes, Finding Alexei will give you everything you could want in a romance story, and so much more! Ms. Ryan’s exquisitely crafted words drew me in from the first page and held me hostage until the last, once I met this couple I just couldn’t let them go. Be prepared to have your heart stolen by this sexy linebacker and his baby whispering ways, he had mine in his hands by the second chapter, he was a heart thief master! I highly recommend you get your hands on this one, it’s endearing characters, and enthralling story line are certain to leave you singing it’s praises!
I requested an advanced copy of this title, and I am voluntarily leaving an honest opinion.
This is such a good book! What a unique storyline in this one. I absolutely adored Alexei, Ryleigh & Baby Ella!
Alexi is the knight in shining armor and Ryleigh the damsel in distress. Great book and it all works out in the end.
Kendall Ryan never disappoints me when I’m in search of a sweet and sexy book to fill my night. Ryleigh and Alexei’s relationship was one of those perfectly sweet slow burns that has you itching to flip the pages to find out what happens next.
Each kiss, each touch, each kindness was a building block in the romance of the single, down-on-her luck Ryleigh + the unattached pro football player who saves Ryleigh and the little girl she is tasked with raising.
This book is contemporary romance at its most adorable. And I’m sure I’ll be back to it for a re-read in the future.
Sweet, sweet Alexei! He’s the perfect man. He is supportive, kind, and down right delicious. He is the perfect example of a Disney Prince for today’s romance lovers even down to the gleaming helmet! 😉
Oh wow! This was a storyline that I was not expecting and it was one that kept me intrigued. Alexei is a football player whose job is on the line if he does not focus on the game thanks to his reputation and his name always on headlines. Ryleigh is an independent woman struggling day to day and to add left with a baby by her roommate.
An unexpected meeting by a hot footballer is the last thing she needs in her life where she is working to get by. Not one to take handouts but hesitant to pass up an opportunity for help in her new found situation. Its only temporary just so she can get things situated.
One cannot help be swooned by the likes of Alexei who is constantly throwing Ryleigh off for a loop especially when it comes to taking care of a baby. Her knight in shining honor is for the time being; however, as days goes by the want for more from both parties begins to grow. The need to prove themselves personally is something that could make or break them. The question is whether the risk for more (if that is what it is) is worth it.
The twists will have you aching, understanding, and hoping for more in life.
This is yet another great read in this series. This is the final book. Don’t worry, if you haven’t read the previous books, that’s okay because this is a complete stand alone.
You will need tissues for a certain part. My heart broke for Andi and Ella.
After reading the synopsis. I had to read all about Alexei and Ryleigh.
Ryleigh goes through so much in this book.
Alexei is amazing, so is Ryleigh.
Both characters have such huge hearts. And both put others first.
I don’t want to say too much more and ruin anything for anyone.
This is a fantastic read and you’ll love these two characters.
