About this ebook

Their parents being family friends, American/English aristocrat, Blake Sharp, and Scottish playboy Alasdair Wallace were thrust together all through their childhoods.

Blake thought Dair was a filthy, obnoxious, little boy bully. 

Dair thought Blake was a spoiled, prissy wee miss.

Then Blake grew up to be a beautiful, loving woman who took care of everyone and made amazing pistachio muffins. And Dair grew up to be a protective, fun-loving, hard-living professional rugby player.

In the meantime, they’d both been deeply betrayed by lovers.

When their paths cross again, Blake is still reeling from her fiancé’s treachery and what she learned about herself during it.

Dair thinks he’s recovered from a marriage to a woman who was not at all what she seemed, and now he’s smitten by the woman Blake has become.

So smitten, he has every intention of exploring what they can grow to be together.

But their combined family history is filled with secrets and lies. Secrets and lies that explode in their faces.

And while they deal with that, ghosts from the past rise up and threaten to haunt their future.

Is what they built together strong enough to hold true?

Or will their personal demons tear them apart?

Reviews for Finding the One:

“Love Blake and Dair together. Lots of explosive chemistry. Terrific dialogue and plot. Of course it was great seeing other characters from earlier novels too.” ~ 5 Stars, May, Netgalley Reviewer

“… A fast paced, complex, exquisitely written book. I fell hook, line and sinker for characters and storyline. Their story made me do a re-read of the whole series. I recommend the book and the series, 5+ stars.” ~ 5 stars, KD, Netgalley Reviewer

“I was actually crying in parts of this book, thank you KA for making me feel feelings. I really enjoyed this one and seeing a former villain get an HEA.” ~ 5 stars, Amanda, Netgalley Reviewer

“Finding the One has that classic KA vibe: a strong, relatable heroine, a hot alpha male with a soft side, and a community of side characters you kind of wish were your real-life friends.” ~ 5 stars, Jade, Netgalley Reviewer

British heiress and Scottish billionaire Rugby player? Yes please! Kristen Ashley brings another heartwarming second chance love story in the River Rain world. The best thing about this series of interconnected standalone is the amazing epic fabulous group of close knit people who restore my faith in friendship and family. They are the spine for Blake finding her way and finding her HEA with Alisdair who is another top tier KA book boyfriend. ( I reviewed an early copy voluntarily)

Not going to lie, the third act break-up in this one gutted me! Dair and Blake fit together so perfectly, they yinged and yanged like no other, and they had wild chemistry that they simply couldn’t contain. They clashed, they melded, they had good times, and they were in sync almost always. All the things they worried about fell away, whether with others or the other, and understanding came easy. I guess that is why that crater that befell them hurt so bad, hurt them, hurt those around them
