Alex Drake The man was built from so many broken and beautiful pieces, the result was an absolute masterpiece.
Another excellent book from the amazingly talented Lexxi James!! I can't say enough about this new book in her Alex Drake series. She is a superb writer and is a master at romantic suspense! And her characters are fabulous!! I can't get enough of This series! Alex and Madison are main players and blend together seamlessly and the chemistry is scorching! You can't help but love them. And the secondary characters are just as important to the story as well and have me just as enthralled. I don't want to say too much about this book because their was surprise after surprise and a couple of WTF moments as well. The deeper they get into the mystery of Madison brothers death the more old alliances are questioned,but as we shuffle though the players we find out who can be trusted and who has hidden in the shadows waiting for the chance to get what Jack died protecting! Theirs mystery,suspence,love,friendship and humor and plenty of passion! Lexxi writes some of the hottest sex scenes and Alex and Madison's love making will leave you breathless!! Also hot Latin heart throb Paco Robles gets lip locked from the mystery stripper officer nightstick at Madison's bridal party , and he can't get him out of his head. Also my favorite femme fatale Jordan is back!!! This chick is so friggin hot!!! I love her humor and her bad ass bitch persona! I shared only a couple of hot teasers on my Goodreads page. I'm dying to tell all,but I won't! This book has to be experienced, like a glass of fine wine with a side of "OH! HELL YA! You'll thank me later,I can guarantee that!!! Until next time Luv's💋💕 -

The Hero: Alex Drake – Founder and head of a multi-billion dollar company. He is engaged to the heroine Madison. He feels responsible for the death of her brother Jack who was a friend of his. He has a right hand man named Paco who was Jack’s lover. He and Madison are tracking down the truth about Jack’s death.
The heroine: Madison Taylor – Engaged to Alex and completely in love with him. She has a burning desire to find out what happened to her brother Jack.
The Love Story: Alex and Madison are in love and engaged to be married. They met in the first book of the series when Madison showed up at Alex’s company for a job. It turned out that Alex and Paco had been looking for her due to their history with Jack. Alex fell fast though he had previously been quite a playboy.
This book was every bit as good as the first three, probably even better. Although I had high hopes for this book because I loved the first three, I thought I might not like it. Sometimes in romance, once the couple and are in love and both admit it and have started on the happily ever after, they tend to bore me a bit. However, this book had Romance, Suspense, intrigue and some crazy characters that made it a book I couldn’t put down.
There were three different characters with the name Jordan Stone, which basically reminded me of either a movie or tv show I saw where different agents of the CIA used the same alias. Anyway, these three Jordans were all secretive and our protagonists never knew if any of them were helping them or working against them. There were other shady and not-so-shady characters and they were similar in that I had a hard time figuring out who was good and who was bad, but it was great to read anyway.
Despite already being in love with each other, Alex and Madison were not boring at all. There was quite a bit of steam in this book along with the mystery and suspense. All in all it was a great ride down a twisty road.
I voluntarily read & reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts & opinions are my own.

Alex Drake is one of my favorite book boyfriend and Madison Taylor is the love of his life, which he watched over for years because of the love for her brother Jack Taylor. They were unhappy with Jack's death and was determined to find out what really happened. Alex is determined to give Madison everything she ever wanted and protect her at all cost. Of course Paco Robles is amazing in hisself and have their backs with his flavor for life and loyalty to the people he love the most. The mystery, suspense and danger in this book along with the new characters mixed with all the old ones made this amazing romantic suspense book just like all the other books Lexxi James have wrote. I look forward to more of Lexxi James.
This book was provide as an Arc for my honest opinion -
What an adventure, what a ride! Finders Keepers is full of mystery, mayhem, and I dare say, love & sex! Well done, LexxiJames, well done!

Obsessed with this book! I've loved all the books in this series, and visiting all of these wonderful characters is always a treat. (Paco!!) But this book was so good. I think it has been my favorite so far. I had to force myself to put it down to sleep last night and today I wanted to yell at every person who came in my office to "GO AWAY!! I'm busy" haha.
This book had the best twists. Of course, the chemistry of Madison and Alex is everything!! Finders Keepers had it all the romance, the suspense, and had some of the funniest lines. I always love all the scenes with Paco, and Jordan was fantastic. I can't say my favorites with her haha or major spoiler alert...
GREAT BOOK!!! -
I love this series! Alex is my main man, but I guess I’ll let Madison have him since they are such a hot couple! This book is just as amazing as the others in the series and I loved it as much, if not more. I love the mystery, intrigue, and sexiness that these books bring in spades. I’m just so sad it’s over. I highly recommend this book, series, and Author!

I’ve been on this journey from the beginning, it’s like falling down the rabbit hole. Lexxi weaves a must read that delivers.
Alex Drake, is phenomenal, his love for Maddison is pure. You feel it. You see it. This story had everything you crave as a reader. Characters that you can’t help but invest in, the intrigue has you hanging on the edge. Always trying to guess where she’s going as each page passes.
Maddison is our leading H, she’s smart, sexy, and relatable. I love authors who continue to make smart leads. You don’t have to dumb down a character to make them likeable.
Lexxi manages to write strong characters, that are sexy and lethal without resorting to unrealistic or ridiculous storyline’s. That’s what draws me, the intelligence and the obvious research.
The chemistry is hot, not just the sexual side I mean with all the players in this series. It’s seamless the way they connect. It’s effortless and you can see the passion she has for the story.
I got my happily ever after though I did pause for one moment when I thought it was all going to come crashing down. I can’t rate this series enough! Thank you for an amazing read.
It’s a YES from me. -
What a beautiful end to a lovely series. I fell in love with Madison and Alex from the first book and with this I love them more. So much suspense in the book, it will definitely keep you at the edge of your seat. I enjoyed reading each and every book in the series and I recommend it to. Lexi knows how to keep you glued to her books. Thank you for the wonderful book and the opportunity to be on your ARC team.
I received an ARC for my honest review -
Loved this one! I've binge-read all 4 books in this series, and I have a definite book hangover, now that I'm done.
This book had more twists than the others, as well as some 'why are they doing that?!' moments, and I really enjoyed it. The romance and suspense, and characters who will do absolutely anything to protect one another, made for a great read. Love this series! -
With every book from Lexxi James I'm more and more in love with her writting.
And Alex is just Alex, hot as hell and so in love with Madison. He will do everything to protect her and she will do the same. Nothing can stop ther love, not even Jordan (Jordans).
I loved all the twists and turnes in the book. And Paco, I wish he was real and my friend.
The whole serie is a MUST read. Recommend, recommend, recommend.
Well done Lexxi James ❤

Lexxi James hA once again created a storyline that has you so absorbed you just can’t stop reading. Alex Drake is again the hunky protector every woman dreams of. I love the connection, readers clearly see between them. The book has some many moving parts that sweep you into the middle of these characters, all you know if you want more. A bachelorette party turns into some trouble for Madison, especially when Jordan takes her away from the group. Paco deserves to find happiness and to try to move past Jack’s senseless death. What a way to tie it together too. Love the I Dos. What adventures await Alex and Madison? Grab a copy to find out. Thank you to the author for allowing me a free copy of the book for my honest review.

Find Me and Keep Me!
Just wow! Those shocks, twists and turns, those truths and revelations, the betrayal, it hurt and the pain that was controlled and wielded, smashed and obliterated ten fold.
Through heartache, love, loss and pain, they endured, but there love for each other became stronger and steadfast with there family by there side.
And FYI those steamy scenes were very intimate, deliciously wicked, oh so steamy, naughty, raw, powerful, passionate, dirty, beautiful, wild, wet, passionate, hot and erotic.
And there happily every after is what any reader would wish for. This author clearly knows how to hook and ensnare her readers to ensure they come back for more, me I’ll definitely come back for more from this author for sure! -
4.5
La serie Alex Drake è giunta al suo ultimo volume che ci intrattiene con una struttura avvincente. La stesura scorre dinamica trascinandoci in un plesso di emozioni adrenaliniche che aggrovigliano i sensi. La trama anima le pagine con rocambolesca azione ed esplosivi colpi di scena che ci conducono verso l' atteso apice di un finale dalla consistenza avventurosa, appassionante e coinvolgente. Prima di arrivare al coronamento della loro speciale storia d' amore, Alex e Madison dovranno attraversare nuove sfide, affrontare vecchi nemici, scendere a patti con rivelazioni disarmanti ed accettare la verità nascosta dietro l' ultima missione militare assegnata al fratello di Madison. Senza alcun dubbio è la serie più particolare che abbia letto costruita sulle oscure sfumature di un rebus intricato tracciato intorno all' enigma che lega profondamente Madison alla figura del controverso magnate Alex Drake e la cui soluzione è racchiusa nello svolgimento dei quattro volumi che la compongono. Al lettore avvinto non resta che raccogliere gli elementi chiave, unire i tasselli del contorto puzzle che fino alla fine assemblea una storia dall' aura misteriosa e complessa. All' autrice devo riconoscere la brillante validità della sua formula narrativa, seppur nel primo volume mi aveva delusa e confusa, è riuscita ad incastrarmi nel suo astuto gioco mentale creando quel geniale filo conduttore che mi ha attratta, incuriosita e legata alle sue strabilianti pagine. Tante sono le domande che emergono nel corso della lettura a cui cercherete una risposta ma sappiate che la James è abile a sorprenderci, dietro ogni rivelazione interseca nuovi personaggi, prospetta nuovi retroscena, ma soprattutto apre nuovi scenari e scoprirete che la tela che tesse intorno al particolare legame dei protagonisti è più complicata e intricata di quanto possiate immaginare. È una serie dai trope sfaccettati che non si limita all'iniziale office romance con cui apre le scene ma traccia le sue orme nel suspense e getta le fondamenta nel military romance i cui confini si amalgamano, si intrecciano, si legano restituendo una storia degna di un set cinematografico. Imponenti i personaggi ognuno è delineato da un fascino subdolo, scaltro ammaliante che nasconde una personalità robusta ed ampia. Unico e criptico lo stile, eccentrica la narrazione che dipinge di sottili note ironiche le parole. Una serie intrigante che offre al lettore gustose ore di suspense e passione in cui vi invito ad immergervi.

Torna Lexxi James con la storia di Alex e Madison, che abbiamo visto nascere nel primo volume e ora li ritroviamo prossimi al matrimonio.
Alex Drake conosce e si innamora di Madison quando si presenta nel suo ufficio in cerca di lavoro.
In seguito Madison scopre che Alex e il suo braccio destro Paco la stavano cercando per via di suo fratello Jack.
Alex si sente responsabile di ciò che è successo a Jack e cerca in tutti i modi di scoprire la verità sulla morte dell'amico.
Madison in poco tempo diventa importante per Alex, tant'è che per lei è disposto a tutto, anche rischiare la vita.
Ho iniziato la lettura un po' titubante - avevo paura - essendo il quarto volume che la storia risultasse piatta e ripetitiva e invece l'autrice ci sorprende, dando quel tocco di mistero e suspence che intriga ancora il lettore e intrecciando ai vecchi personaggi nuovi volti arricchendo cosi la storia di nuove sfumature romantiche.
La bravura dell'autrice sta nel creare delle trame che sorprendono senza risultare mai banale ed eccedere nei soliti cliché ma che tengono il lettore incollato alle pagine.
I personaggi conquistano il lettore grazie alla loro caratterizzazione e per il fascino che emanano.
Anche i personaggi secondari come Paco che dopo la morte di Jack, merita di trovare la felicità.
La chimica tra Alex e Madison tocca alte vette, senza mai però cadere nel volgare.
Colpi di scena, tradimenti, perdita, dolore e infine amore, accompagnano il lettore a un finale tanto agoniato.
Non mi resta che consigliarvi questa lettura e se non avete letto la serie di recuperarla presto. -
Excellent!!!
This is the final chapter of Miranda and Alex's story. Their story begins with Miranda rushing to an interview and having a jerk run into her spilling his coffee on her white blouse. Luckily she was wearing a camisole underneath and even though it showed a lot of cleavage with her blazer it was at least presentable. Alex is enthralled when he watches through their security system a sexy woman being interviewed with his business. When she is denied the job she let's go of all of her frustrations of the morning and tells the interviewer off. When Alex realizes that she is the woman he ran into that morning he has his assistant chase her down to give her the job. He is determined to get her to go out with him and starts sending her gifts and messages anonymously. But, he is hiding a secret. One that will change her life.
I can't recommend this book enough! It is a smoking hot steamy romance with a mix of James Bond. You not only get the POV of Miranda and Alex but also the views from secondary characters. I really think this should be Passionflix's next series. It's that good!!! Way to go Lexxi James! -
Huh. I wrote up a small review and thought I had saved it, but I must not have because it has disappeared. Which fits right in with this book because of all the spy games going on.
Finders Keepers is book #4 in the Alex Drake series. I found it a bit confusing, but that may be because I have not had a lot of time to sit down and just read over the last few weeks. (Note the length of time it took for me to read this book compared to the one or two days it took me to read books 1-3.)
I may have to reread it because I felt like there was a lot of missing pieces. But, in the meantime, I'm going ahead with Devil's Cut. -
I Need a Movie
This was the ultimate ending to this series. Betrayal, suspense, love, hate, surprises, explosions, scandal, sabotage, EVERYTHING you could imagine. Madison's parents are speaking, Paco is extremely Paco, and I even come to rather like Jordan, the story actually needed her. Crystal, omg - such a badass! I would love to see Alex and Madison navigating parenting and Uncle Paco being Uncle Paco. I loved that Alex felt he needed to relearn Madison's body once she was pregnant, that was the sweetest thing to me.💕💕 -
Finders Keepers was the perfect ending to this steamy, sexy, mysterious, suspenseful series. Madison and Alex's journey ended on the most perfect note. This series kept me coming back for more and did not disappoint. Each book was better then the last. The author kept the reader sitting on the edge of their seat, while they anticipated the next book. Some characters have spilled over from other books not from this series. Two characters are Richard Black and Jaclyn from Ruthless Games.
If you've not read The Alex Drake Series, pick it up and read it, you won't be disappointed. -
Finders Keepers is full of moments that will make you hold your breath one minute, and the next one will have you biting your nails! This is packed with angst and a love like no other! Alex and Madison are true soul mates, who go through hell, but come out on top even stronger! And let's not forget about our favorite brother in law, Paco, who literally saves their lives! Without giving anything away, I'll just say this is one read that'll have you on the edge of your seat!!
I really hope I get another book from this series, hopefully about Paco! -
I’m loving this series
I just love Alex & Madison and their fairytale romance but it hasn’t come without dangers to their lives.
Kidnap, torture and murder have happened to them and around them however those murdered were the bad guys.
Paco is just so adorable and loving and I hope to see his relationship with P develop as he needs some love in his life.
To be fair I like all the side characters and Jordan (who I didn’t like in book one) is becoming one of my favourite characters.
Let’s see what the next book brings. -
I have read this whole series and loved the main characters Alex and Madison. However, this is the final installement of the series and for me it fell a bit short. I found it difficult to follow, the various Jordon's confused me, and the plot of finding out what happened to Madisons brother got a bit lost. However, the love story between Alex and Madison continued, thier connection is strong and the chemistry between them leaves you in no doubt they have found thier soul mates.
-
Noooo!! I can't believe it's all over. This is the conclusion in the Alex Drake series. There were more twist and suspense than the first three! Not only that, the chemistry between the two characters are off the charts. You just really want to root for them. Although, it may be over, it's good to know that Alex and Madison get their happy ending. Overall, I really, really enjoyed this series!
