Finding Alexei by Kendall Ryan ~ New Release and Review

02027       07 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 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.

Elizabeth's Review


3.5 stars - Worth a Reader's Time


Review Copy Provided by Author


This is a quick read from a reliable and entertaining author. Finding Alexei is a standalone read in a connected series, so we have met Alex before (in Dear Jane for me) and it was nice to get to know him a little better here.
I have to admit to struggling with this one a little bit, especially the set up. On one hand, I admired Alex's desire to step in and help someone in a dire situation, but how the situation played out just seemed a little over the top.
Character wise, I liked Alex and Ryleigh. I appreciated that they both had a deep down desire to help and make life better for someone else. Ms Ryan hinted a little bit about how Ryleigh ended up where she did, but never really addressed how her choices had been the best she could do and that's information that I think would have helped me in relating to the character more. There was also a hint about how Ryleigh's job/history could negatively impact Alex's career, but that potential conflict was left unexplored.
Overall, this was a fun and fairly light read. I would have like to have seen a more exploration of the potential conflicts and character development, but it's still a book worth reading.       A New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author of more than two dozen titles, Kendall Ryan has sold over 1.5 million books and her books have been translated into several languages in countries around the world.
