Finding Faye
Four years of hiding. Four years of waiting. Always looking over my shoulder.
Wondering when they will find me. Hoping that, by some miracle, he will find me.
The boy I loved. My only friend. The only man I have ever wanted.
She disappeared while I was at war. Four years I have been searching. How did a sixteen year old girl manage to hide so well. I can’t let myself believe that they might have found her. That she might already be dead.
I don’t care how long it takes. If it takes forever I will gladly spend the rest of my life
FINDING FAYE.

I'm so happy I read this book! Lately I've been looking for good romantic suspense novels because I've been on an adrenaline kick and this
one hit the spot. On top of that, it combined two of my favorite tropes of all times: on the run, and childhood friends to lovers.
Whenever I read about a character who's on the run, what really fascinates me is seeing how they manage to escape risky situations, what are the
precautions they have in place, their escape plans and all the little mental memos they need to keep in mind to make sure they make it out alive. On this
front, this book totally delivered. I was holding my breath from the very start when introduced to the heroine's situation and even as the novel
progressed the adrenaline never stopped running in my veins as the situation got dicier and dicier.
Now onto the romance itself. As I said, I am a huge fan of characters that knew each other as kids, grew up together and then became friends and lovers.
In this case, there is an age gap, but still it's clear how much Travis and Faye cared for each other in their younger years. They were both subject to a tough
family situation and had to be each other's rock. Now, in the present day, Travis has finished his time in the military and needs to find Faye to keep the promise
he had made to her before leaving and take her of her, giving her a better life that she had been handed.
I absolutely adored how dedicated Travis was to finding Faye, the little girl he always wanted to protect and that he now cannot find anywhere. Seeing
him so committed to finding her warmed my heart and knowing their backstory, when he started to develop feelings beyond friendship for her, it felt
natural. Together, they worked as a couple. They have a past together and they stayed in contact through the letters Faye sent him through the years.
When I first heard that an age gap was involved I had been a bit apprehensive that it would translate into inappropriate thoughts when Travis and Faye were
only in their teens, but the author handled it beautifully and respectfully, so that even though Faye had been developing romantic feelings for Travis
for a while now, he basically only noticed her in that way once she was a grown woman. Oh, another thing that I was surprised by but that also made me
insanely happy is how human Faye appears. She is a fighter, but is also vulnerable. Sure, she counts on Travis to know what he's doing when it comes to
keeping everyone alive and simply dealing with unsavory individuals (I'm so trying not to spoil anything here ;)) but when she cannot count on his and
she finds herself in a risky situation, she is the type of person who will assess what's going on, come up with a plan and execute it. And I just thought
that we need more heroine like Faye. She is also not portrayed as super model beaufitul and you can actually envision her as a real person, especially when
the author described the toll that all those years barely getting by living on the run had taken on her.
I'm not going into the plot details here because I don't want to spoil anything, but something I will absolutely mention is how other characters are also
involved into the suspenseful part of the story, meaning that Faye and Travis were not the only two caught up in everything that happened, and that
sometimes they were there for support and help. This to me was so refreshing because often in books it seems like the entire universe starts and stops
with the main characters, but instead here we have other lives on the line, other people with their own back stories and priorities.
Writing style wise, this book was very well written and I cannot seriously believe this was a debut novel. Usually debut novels are naturally wonky, with either
an imbalance toward inner monologue or dialogue, or too many descriptions, stilted dialogues, or plots that are either uber-complicated with nonsense drama
or over-simplistic ones. Well, this was not the case and I am now very curious to see what else this author is going to write.

3.5 ⭐
I enjoyed this one I do wish there was more spicy but it was a pretty good story.
Travis has been living with his abusive uncle for awhile now waiting for the day he can leave since he enlisted but he's worried of leaving Faye his uncles girlfriends daughter they have a bond even if they are ages apart. He promised her he would come back for her and save her... even if the years went by they mailed letters and he sent her money so incase she left she would be taken care of and they had a spot if things get bad and they did she ran and he couldn't find her.. and he had a mission to find her with his own company.
Now Faye has been on the run if she gets a slip up she runs again now shes sorta settled with another girl named Ana as a waitress, she doesn't know a friend/business partner of Travis found her informing Trav. I was so happy that he didn't give up and when he found Faye it was so good.. and cute they were reunited their relationship sorta turned since he never saw her as a lil sister just someone very special to him.. but he made a deal he would help a mob boss find his wife to protect Faye.. who she knows 😏 and boy that story combines with book 2.. but don't worry this book has no cliffhanger it has a sweet happy ending with hints of the next couple.

What an awesome debut novel!! I couldn't put this book down! Lots of action and suspense and their chemistry had me hot and bothered almost the entire time!! I cannot wait for the next book in this series and from this author! I was still processing what I read a day or two later! Now that is what a book should do!

I do love a romantic suspense & Travis & Faye were just so cute together. Fab job AJ & I can’t wait to read Xavier & Analise’s Story.
August 6, 2019
4.5 AMAZING STARS! I was very excited to read the first book in what’s sure to be a must read series by a new author. The Prologue does a great job of setting the stage for an intriguing and suspenseful storyline.
Travis lives with his uncle, his uncle’s girlfriend and her daughter, Faye. Eight years older than Faye, Travis does what he can to protect her from their crappy living situation, until, at 18, he leaves to join the marines. At 16, Faye witnesses a horrific event, ends up on the run, and two years after that, Travis comes home to find her. Although he now part owns and runs a security and private investigation company, finding Faye has proven to be difficult. Who knew that things would get even more complicated once he did find her!
Unexpected twists and turns, suspense and action compelled me to keep reading. It was the perfect mix of sexy, sweet and steamy...a great debut!

A Great Start for a Debut Novel
As soon as I saw this book and read the blurb, I felt that I need to read it. AJ Andersen is a diamond in the rough in the world of romance books. I could feel her passion and dedication in this book. And I have no doubt in the success of her future goals as an author. Keep going, girl!
At a young age, Faye had to live a solitary teenager life, without friends, with fears and concerns. With nothing else that the option to grown up as a strong girl to face the consequences of the bad decision of his mother's boyfriend and her mother. However, all was not lost when unexpectedly events occurred and her whole world was upside down. She found hope in the only closest person who seemed to care, creating a friendship and strong ties that would be a key to her happiness. Although in the meantime, she will have to go through bittersweet and hard moments to achieve it.
Travis is he perfect guy for her. So protective, strong, smart and charming. He is that light at the end of the tunnel in Faye's life. The kind of hero who will give his life to protect her.
This unputtable down book and fast paced story will leave you at the edge of your seat or bed. Is full of suspense, intrigue, heartwarming moments and action. I dare you to read it!

This story drew me in from the beginning and kept at a really good pace that didn't feel rushed. The detail of both these chararcters was great. I love the whole story with a bit of an age gap. Travis becomes Faye's protector early on in their childhood. Both of them dealt some hard times in life, leaving them in bad situations. Not left with much choice Travis knows if he evers wants to truly rescue Faye, he has to leave her first. Years end up separating them, but neither of them lose faith that they will one day find one another. Travis is a hot military man with a heart of gold. He's Strong, sexy and his heart only beats for Faye. Faye is beautiful and innocent and knows that Travis is the only one for her. But even when these two finally find each other their fight isn't over. Travis will have to fight to keep his girl.

Great debut novel! I was amazed this was Andersen's first book. The writing was phenomenal and I was hooked on the story. It had everything I look for in a book: action, mystery, great character development, and beautiful romance. I can't wait to see her next work. 5 Sweetpea stars!

When your book loving friends tell you that you just have to read a book because it’s that good, you read it, and read it I did. What can I say other than color me impressed. “Finding Faye” AJ Andersen’s debut novel is a fantastic older man/younger woman, forbidden, sorta kinda second chance, military, mafia romance. Yes, it’s all that AND a freakin’ fantastic read at that! First of all, Travis.is.the.man. Sexy AF, strong, loyal, determined and loving. Faye is a beautifully broken angel with a hidden strength that is surprising considering all she’s been through. Thrown together when his uncle (his legal guardian) and her mother marry, Travis and Faye form an immediate and everlasting bond that will keep them connected throughout the years of their separation. I absolutely love it when the male main character of a book is truly, madly, deeply in love and not afraid to show it. His utter devotion to Faye and their happily ever after makes this book the fantastic Five Plus Star read that it is. TBR this sweet and sexy read and enjoy. I look forward to Book 2 and 3 of this series and can’t wait to see what AJ does next.

I enjoyed this story. Faye and Travis were great characters. A slowburn romance filled with action and love. A great read!
August 26, 2019
A wonderful debut from an author who knows how to pack in action and suspense in spades!
The connection between Travis and Faye goes right back to their childhood, and the book starts by taking you straight into that, showing you a bit of their history.
Travis wants to protect Faye, but after years apart, he first has the job of tracking her down.
Faye has been in hiding after witnessing the downfall of her mother and brutal step father in her younger years.
When these two souls find one another again it is rammed full of drama which had me quickly turning the pages. Their love is unique. Their bond is special.
And their devotion to one another is heart warming.
I look forward to seeing what the author does next.

This novel had me DM-ing my friends late at night. What a roller-coaster of sweet, soft meets the underbelly of the mafia world. I’m so in love with these characters.
Our hero, Travis, is the Faye’s “step-brother” (Travis’ uncle, who has custody of Travis gets involved with Faye’s mom). They take solace in each other while sharing a household. Travis becomes a friend and protector to the little girl who’s 8 years his junior.
When Travis enlists in the Marines (hot) and Faye is left to her own defenses for years until one day she disappears. When he’s done serving out his time in the Marines he comes home with the sole mission of finding Faye.
Travis is a hardcore cinnamon roll. He’s all willpower and strength paired with sensitivity and patience. *Cue my heart melting... .*
Faye is at once vulnerable and extremely resourceful when it comes to protecting herself and surviving.
He is a beast whose mission is to find and protect Faye. Can she protect herself? Heck yeah, she can. But Travis is her ability to exhale. He is the relief that Faye’s heart needs. And she’s his only shot at a HEA.

What a great 1st book to get me into this series by JA Anderson.
I always like to read the authors notes at the end and I’m so glad you followed your dream and put words to paper and wrote your Kissing books
I love a hero that keeps chasing and searching for the girl he loved when he was younger and also a Veteran returning from war to do so.
That was Travis, never gave up on searching for Faye, and He didn’t
I love how you are introduced to other characters and know for a fact that you will also be reading about them later in future books.
I for one are looking forward to getting to know Xavier.😍 Love me a family member who has seperated himself from the bad element of his family, and then you throw in his weird behaviour in his wedding night and I’m like yep need me more of that.
Through Travis and Faye’s story A J Anderson has given us her Kissing Dream and promised of more to come.
Thank you

What an amazing debut novel for A.J. Anderson, i was pull to the story from page one. This story keep me very intrigued because I really didn't know what was going to happen next. The main characters are Freya and Travis, which I think they were perfect for each other, best friends during a time where they need it each other, didn't matter that there was an 8 year gap difference. Until Travis enrolls in the military seeking a better future and leaves Freya behind with a promise of one day coming back for her. 
Freya its force to run away, and let me tell you our HEROINE it's strong and faces many things a teenage girl shouldn't go through but despite of everything keeps going until one day her dreams come crashing through a motel door. Travis is our Hero in this story, a man who never looses hope of finding Freya. There is so many factors in this story that would keep you guessing until the very end. I can't wait too see what AJ has for us in her next book.

OMG I just loved Finding Faye by AJ Anderson.
To be honest, I wasn’t quite sure to expect from this debut novel, but I was pleasantly surprised.
The suspense and drama in this novel were perfectly captured within the writing. There were plenty of moments in which I had the heart-pounding excitement of witnessing true suspense and action play out.
Travis and Faye are such a sweet childhood friends to lovers trope.
Separated by circumstances, Travis spends time looking for Faye; all with the notion that she is alive, and he will get her back, keep her safe.
Faye is on the run, using skills earned at far too young of an age to remain invisible. She waits, somewhat hopelessly, for Travis to find her.
Reunited, seems so simple, yet danger lurks close by.
Follow Travis and Faye as the find and lose each other. Risk it all to be together and safe.
This was an amazing debut novel from AJ Anderson and I am looking forward to the rest of this series.
And as always from my reviews, my top quotes of the book:
“I have to keep reminding myself of this because I don’t want to forget and do something foolish, like climb him like a little monkey the next time he hugs me. It’s a tempting idea.”
“We are like magnets being pulled together. Inevitable.”
“It’s only been a few days, but it’s like a lost piece of my soul was returned and I never eve knew that it was missing. I don’t know how I have been surviving without her.”

Oh Sweet Goodness.

💫
Uncles Girlfriends Daughter and his Nephew Taboo?
💫
Alpha Military Men who have special sets of skills?
💫
Do you like Suspense and Drama?
💫
Do you like Rough and Tumble men who are all so tender to their loves?
💫
Then this is the book for you!
💫
This is AJ debut book. I had the pleasure of reading this wonderful story!! I love reading debut Authors and seeing how they grow. I know AJ has the skills for success.
💫
This story kept me on my toes, not knowing what was going to happen next, while all the drama was happening, you also get to see the characters grow personally and together. Not only that, but she wrote some male supporting cast who I firmly believe that these war harden men need some love in their lives. LOVE FOR ALL!!!!!!!!!! Basically, I just want more books!
💫
I love that our Heroine, while having to grow up fast due to circumstances, she also kept her innocence and sweet outlook on life. She didn’t become jaded and hardened.

I love how our Hero knew how to take care of her, and love her. They were a sweet complimentary match for couples. AWWWWWWW

This is AJ debut book. I had the pleasure of reading this wonderful story!! I love reading debut Authors and seeing how they grow. I know AJ has the skills for success.
💫
This story kept me on my toes, not knowing what was going to happen next, while all the drama was happening, you also get to see the characters grow personally and together. Not only that, but she wrote some male supporting cast who I firmly believe that these war harden men need some love in their lives. LOVE FOR ALL!!!!!!!!!! Basically, I just want more books!

I'm actually surprised this is AJ's debut book! I completely was pulled into Travis and Faye's story immediately. She had me tearing up in the first chapter! I love love love a good romantic suspense, and this had it all from the beginning.
Travis and Faye have a rough few years. They are about 8 years apart, and completely rely on each other for support because of their home life. They aren't related, FYI. Travis has to leave for the military, but worries sooo hard for Faye and what she has to deal with at home, he promises to keep her safe as much as he can. Over the years, while Travis is gone, she witnesses her mom and her boyfriend's murder. So she leaves and living rough on her own over the years, hoping Travis will find her at some point. This starts the desperate attempt to find Faye. They are now in their 20s and love each other so much.
I really enjoyed this story. It was hard for me to put it down. I had to know what happened! These two are completely in love with each other. It had the suspense, the mafia, the military boys, the alpha, the romance, the steam, the drama, all of it! I am totally looking forward to more from this author!

If debut novel Finding Faye is any indication, the K&S Securities Series promises to be a wonderful new series from author A.J. Andersen. Finding Faye is a fast paced, action packed, thrill ride of a contemporary romance. Travis & Faye have a wonderful connection built over years of friendship that slowly bloomed into a romance. Faye is a strong lead who sticks up for herself and quickly adapts to the circumstances that surround her. Travis is a tough guy on the outside with a huge soft spot for Faye. His unyielding love for her and never ending journey to locate her after they lose contact is enviable. We should all be so lucky to have a Travis to love us as much as he loves Faye. This book was a delight to read and I highly recommend it for those who like friends to lovers, suspense style romances.

Oh wow what a rollercoaster of a journey!
Such a good debut book, I was hooked from the beginning. I didn’t see some of the stuff coming and I love when a book can do that so I don’t wanna give too much away but if you read this you won’t be disappointed.
Travis & Faye together 👌🏼 I’m excited for the next book I thought it might of been Blake & Ellie’s story but I can’t wait to learn all about Ana & Xavier.

Debut author AJ Anderson brings us Finding Faye. It was a fast pace, action packed suspense that will have you on the edge of your seat. There was romance and mystery that will have you turning the pages anticipating what was to come. Travis and Faye were likeable and the secondary characters will intrigue you enough to want to read their story. AJ Anderson shows a lot of promise as she hones her writing skills and gets a few more stories under her belt. Great job with your debut novel!

Finding Faye is a fast paced, thrill ride of a romance. I was hanging off the end of my seat while reading it most of the time wondering what curves would come next! If this is any indication on how the rest of the series is going to go then I’ll gladly buckle in for the ride. I adored Travis and Faye was the perfect match for him! AJ Andersen is definitely an author to watch out for. I have a feeling she’s going to be a one-click author for me permanently! ❤️

This novel had me DM-ing my friends late at night. What a roller-coaster of sweet, soft meets the underbelly of the mafia world. I’m so in love with these characters.
🦋
Our hero, Travis, is the Faye’s “step-brother” (Travis’ uncle, who has custody of Travis gets involved with Faye’s mom). They take solace in each other while sharing a household. Travis becomes a friend and protector to the little girl who’s 8 years his junior.
🦋
When Travis enlists in the Marines (hot) and Faye is left to her own defenses for years until one day she disappears. When he’s done serving out his time in the Marines he comes home with the sole mission of finding Faye.
🦋
Travis is a hardcore cinnamon roll. He’s all willpower and strength paired with sensitivity and patience. *Cue my heart melting... .*
🦋
Faye is at once vulnerable and extremely resourceful when it comes to protecting herself and surviving.
🦋
He is a beast whose mission is to find and protect Faye. Can she protect herself? Hell yeah, she can. But Travis is her ability to exhale. He is the relief that Faye’s heart needs. And she’s his only shot at a HEA.

April 28, 2020Good read from A.J Andersen I will definitely check out her other books.
When Travis Keller turned 18 he enlisted into the Marine Corps. He lived with his Uncle Brad and Brad's wife and daughter Faye. Faye, was only 10 when Travis was leaving but their relationship was something that kept both of them going. Travis felt for Faye, he knew that she was being beaten by his drunk uncle and her mother didn't care. Travis needed to leave so he can make sure he can take care of Faye when he got back.
Fast forward to when Faye can see her mother and step-father murdered and Faye needs to run under Travis's instruction. She runs for years hiding from the killer and hoping that Travis eventually finds her. She becomes acquaintances with another waitress Ana who seems to be hiding something of her own.
Travis leaves the Marine Corps and he's still searching for his girl Faye, he finally locates her but a happy ending isn't in their immediate grasp. You need to definitely check out this book to find out the rest of Travis and Faye's story.

I could not put this book down for a second. Mob meets military in this romantic suspense thriller. I loved it and was cheering for the good guys the whole book.
I was dying for more Travis and Faye though I could read another 20 chapters. The character development was perfect. This book just had me hooked from the first chapter and was read in a day. I adore Travis's tough but sweet personality. He is a bit rough but so gentle at the same time. Seriously in love with this author and so glad I stumbled across her debut album.
I cannot wait to read Analise and Xavier's story!
