For Jayha Leigh: Thank you for believing in me and wanting this story.Rachel Young-Johnson, known to all as “Ray” and to those who want to be smacked, as “Ray J” is starting a new chapter in her life. At the age of 35, after being married for 8 years to a man who didn’t appreciate her, cheated on her, and emotionally abused her, after giving him 4 children that he ignored until it was beneficial … until it was beneficial for him, she’s divorced and living on her own. In her own home. Taking care of her children ON HER OWN. Though Ray has always supported single mothers, she never knew how hard it was until she became one herself.
It’s even more difficult when she’s trying to date again. So she places an ad, because she doesn’t want some guy on a dating app sending her d*** pics. She wants an old-fashioned man. One who reads the paper. Who takes out the trash (hers keeps building up because she hates to take it out herself). She wants a man who loves and respects his woman, but wants to take care of his family. Rachel wants an Alpha.
Enter Ryan Bradley, known as “RB” to his family and friends… and the sports media. Not just because of his initials, but because of his position on the NFL team he plays for. One day, while reading the paper he comes across Rachel’s ad and responds on a whim. When Rachel responds, their lives are changed forever. But with Rachel’s ex-husband returning in an attempt to win her back, and the paparazzi and the public poking their noses in their relationship, making insulting comments, this couple will have to fight harder than ever before, for the family and the love they’ve always wanted.

A phenomenal read! This book is a roller coaster of emotions – scenes will make you tear up, break your heart, laugh out loud, smile, or just shake your head. Lots of drama and ups and downs but through it all, the connection between Rachel and Ryan only grew stronger. It is a well written, well developed, engaging, emotionally deep, and enjoyable romance and I strongly recommend reading it. I look forward to reading more about this couple.

“35F Seeks Alpha” starts with an abusive confrontation. A year later single mom Ray decides to give dating a try with a personal ad. Ryan responds and it’s the beginning of a romantic, sweet and spicy love affair. I love this story! It’s emotional, funny, thoughtful and passionate. There is honesty in the way that it deals with racial issues and blended families. Ryan is a great book boyfriend – giving, attentive, and protective. Ray discovers her inner goddess with his help. I feel for Ray – her insecurities, fears and uncertainty. But she is also brave, independent and a great mother to her children. When she unleashes her inner tiger – she roars! This is an endearing story and I look forward to reading more about this beautiful couple. There are other characters that have their own unique stories. I will be looking for those as well. Very entertaining!

V. Vee is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. I find myself looking forward to her next release with bated breath. 35/F Seeks Alpha was a fantastically well written story with great characters and story development. This story took me through a range of emotions and the words jumped off the pages. I felt red hot anger reading some scenes, joy and love reading other scenes. I wanted to reach through the book and slap the crap outta her ex. If there’s ever someone in a book that should never get redemption it would be her scum of a husband. The chemistry between Ryan and Ray was sexy and HOT!! Their relationship was amazing and developed fantastically. I loved seeing other favorite characters from V. Vee’s other books make an appearance. this story was emotional, intense, sexy, captivating and all around fantastic. I’ve read it twice already and would highly recommend this story along with V. Vee’s other works. Her books are well worth the read. I can only give five stars, if I could I would give this book ten amazing stars. V. Vee is an incredibly gifted wordsmith and I’m looking forward to reading more of her stories and also find out what the future holds for Ray and Ryan.
READING PROGRESS
Rachel has finally moved past her cheating husband. She has become the cliche she foughtvso hard against. Now she wants a real man. One who treats her like a treasure and takes out the garbage. In comes Ryan. He wants a woman to cherish. He wants a woman who looks past who he is and what he does. I thoroughly enjoyed the sweet way Ryan and Rachel got to know each other. It was sweet and old fashioned. I loved that they saw the inner desires and dreams before they ever saw the outside appearance. I loved seeing Rachel and Ryan find their connection. It was quick but felt real. I cannot wait to see where Ms Vee takes us next as Ryan and Rachel navigate their budding relationship.
Rachel has decided that it is time to divorce her cheating husband. She puts an ad for an alpha male in the paper. RB answers it. Good read and romance.
