About this ebook

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 ex-roommate disappears, leaving me with her 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.

*Please note, this title was previously published as Finding Alexei.

Ratings and reviews

He’s bossy, moody, and overprotective and he was just what I needed to get me out a book slump. If you have read Dear Jane you would have already met Alex but that doesn’t mean you need to read that book to enjoy and quite possibly fall in love with Finding Alexei because this book is everything I have come to expect from the very talented Kendall Ryan and so much more. Alex Ivan is one of the hottest players in the NFL, he is at the top of his game as a linebacker for the Chicago Hawkes . Alex may be a force to be reckoned with on the field but he also has a heart of gold and when he sees a young woman outside a seedy topless bar being hassled he doesn’t think twice about going to her rescue...... Ryleigh is down on her luck she is trying to support herself and care for her ex-roommates 3 month old daughter who was abandoned when the roommate left town, but that doesn’t mean she needs a Knight in shinning Amour coming to her rescue she doesn’t accept help easily but will the big man with a heart of gold wear her down....... I loved Alex and Ryleigh’s journey, it’s a fun, sweet steamy read that’s low on angst and high on melt your heart moments. I laughed and I swooned as Alex took it upon himself to help out with baby Ella and I loved catching up with the gang from previous books about the Chicago Hawkes, if you love sports romance that’s low on angst then this is a must read and I will certainly be recommending it to who ever will listen to me.... looking forward to more from the NFL and Kendall Ryan.

There are some very serious health concerns when reading Finding Alexei, so prepare yourself for some seriously combustible moments and imminent ovary explosion 😉 Alexei is the real deal, super hot and a heart of gold. Ryleigh is strong and independent and knows how to take care of herself which is a good thing because she doesn’t have a single soul in the world to help her. Working at a topless bar to make ends meet, Ryleigh doesn’t ler her life get her down even though life keeps throwing problems at her. Like heating, rent and not to mention being left with a friends baby to take care of. Now most people would have turned that little baby over to the authorities, but not Ryleigh, that girl steps up and goes the extra mile. Alexei is drawn to Ryleigh after attending a bachelor party at the bar she works at – all his protective instincts and alpha tendencies come out to play with the mere presence of Ryleigh. Alexei dons his knight in shining armor persona to help Ryleigh navigate her way with the baby and the other struggles she is currently facing. Give this man’s mamma a medal ‘cos she done raised him right 😉 Even though the feelings between Ryleigh and Alexei are the real deal, Ryleigh can’t help but worry about the differences in their lifestyles and the inequality in their economic status. Although I could understand her concerns, it is obvious that she isn’t the type of person to take advantage and Alexei is very aware of that fact. Despite a few hiccups along the way, Alexei and Ryleigh navigate a fairly clear path to finding their HEA with a little help from friends and family. Let me just warn you, there is a possibility you may need tissues at one point in the story especially if you are a parent – just saying 💖

5 Sweetly, demanding stars. We first met NFL linebacker Alexei in a previous book by Kendall Ryan, (Dear Jane) but we never got to see the full man, until now. When Alexei finds Ryleigh outside a bar notorious for it’s crappy clientele being accosted by a drunken man, he has two choices. Walk away or butt in, chase off the guy then make sure she gets home safely. He doesn’t even think twice. He may be a well known football star and have more money than he knows what to do with, but he’d never leave a woman at risk. Ryleigh could have dealt with the drunk, but she knows it could also have gotten ugly, so when the tall, hulky stranger offers her help she knew she should take it. But, that doesn’t mean she’s not wary of this hot as sin stranger, even though he evokes feelings in her that she’s never felt before. She doesn’t give her trust easily and for good reason. When life gives you lemons there’s nothing to do but make lemonade. That’s pretty much could be Ryleigh’s motto. She’s struggling to get by working as a waitress at the topless bar where Alexei found her plus her roommate Andi disappeared a few days earlier and left her holding the baby. Literally. She has no option but to care for tiny Ella, something she’s finding difficult to do as well as her job but with Alexei’s help she starts to find her way. Alexei is full on swoonworthy when being a surrogate dad. He’s all man but OMG!! just watch how he deals with it all while romancing Ryleigh I loved these two together, there was no angst or real drama, just a guy and a girl getting to know one another and quickly becoming the one thing the other needs above all others. They were witty and funny, sassy and sweet when behind closed doors. Their love was so emotive and passionate, I could truly feel it leaking out of my kindle and adding the baby moments just made my heart melt. But, aww, the sad notes of what was behind by Andi’s abrupt departure made me cry a bucket load of tears. But, I also laughed and seriously swooned at the way Alexei took these two in. And at the end of the day, that’s all that matters.
