This was a  Friends-to-lovers book, I liked Daniel a little more than Amy. Amy was a harder sell to me. Kinda brought the story down a little :(

I enjoyed this but didn't realize it was a rerelease and I'd already read it when i requested it.

If you've read my reviews before, then you know that I've got so much love for Jess Dee's writing talents. She's just one of those authors I know I can pick up their book and love every moment of the journey. She has never disappointed me, and this re-release of her book previously titled Photo Opportunity is no exception. It was emotional and sexy and just everything I love to read, so I can't recommend it enough.

So let's talk about Planned Seduction... Daniel Tanner has been in love with Amy forever but he's decided that now is the time to finally final on those feelings after some deep self-reflection. All Amy has seen is a parade of women going through his life and she isn't interested in being one of his many conquests despite his attempts to convince her otherwise. Little does she know, he is determined to prove her that he can be the only man that she needs.

For as emotional as this story was at times, it was seriously sexy too. The sexual tension between these two is intense, but I think it had just the perfect mix and I simply adored these characters. Daniel had a vulnerability to him that I found vastly appealing, and poor Amy...well she tried to resist him in earnest, but his charm was just too much in the end for her and I could totally see why. Overall, I think this is a great read and who doesn't just love a great friends to lovers book?

A very enjoyable book The main characters were well written and I loved the steamy parts but it was missing something and needed a bit more to it. but none the less it was a good read.

The writing and story were well done in this book but I just wans't really feeling the characters connection and didn't feel like the story had a unique or original take on the friends to lovers story I've read so many times before.  This was a sweet story it just lacked originality.

Planned Seduction is a new Entangled Brazen book by Jess Dee

Planned Seduction is a friends to lovers story, which isn't a troupe I am particularly fond of - I usually find them a bit too tame and angst-y and not enough steam for me

Luckily Planned Seduction has plenty of heat. Amy and Daniel have been best friends for years and – unbeknownst to Amy – Daniel has been in love with her all that time and has finally realised that Amy is the woman for him and is planning to show her.

I enjoyed this story it worked because the two main characters know each other so well and their friendship is genuine and gives their romance a solid base so when things get hot, they get really super steamy and I loved watching Daniel and Amy’s relationship change and for them to get their HEA.

So overall a good contemporary friends to lovers story from Jess Dee and I can't wait to see more from this author

ARC received in exchange for an honest review

This was a cute friends story with enjoyable characters. Amusing issues arise when Daniel decides he's no longer waiting for Amy to notice him, he's taking it into his own hands and going to show her they can be perfect together. Over all enjoyable read

Planned Seduction is a good spin on a classic friends to lovers troupe. It features Daniel and Amy as best friends that  become lovers. Daniel has had feelings feelings for Amy and is ready to give up his playboy life for a relationship with her. He creates a plan to win her over, but must overcome his own history and her lack of trust to find happiness. This is a sexy, well written book that had an awesome hero. It was hard to connect with the heroine, but eventually she won me over too. I was given a free copy for an honest review.

Fantastic friends to lovers story with some hot sexy times!  Loved it!

*This book is a re-release of Ms. Dee’s previously titled Photo Opportunity it was been re-edited.

Having read this book years ago and recently re-reading it for this review, I once again enjoyed it immensely. Friends to lovers is a favorite romance troupe of mine so Planned Seduction was right up my alley, I loved that the hero was head over heels and had to convince the heroine that he was serious about being in a relationship with her. The sexual tension was heavy in this story which only added to the intriguing story line.
Friends for seventeen years and best friends for most of that time Daniel Tanner has finally figured out that Amy Morgan is the woman he wants in his life as his friend, lover, and wife. Daniel knows he has an uphill battle on his hands because Amy doesn’t trust men; between her father and her ex-boyfriend she is prepared to be alone.
First off I want to say holy hell of an opening sex infused dream! Seriously the first chapter alone was scorching hot even if it was a dream sequence. Once this couple got together physically it showed that despite they were far apart on what they were to one another, their lifelong friendship and unmistakable chemistry left no doubt they were equally matched and satisfied physically.
After working on a particularly grueling photo essay assignment, Daniel has had time to come to terms with events from his past that skewered his thinking and understand what he wants from life and he makes a plan to go after Amy. I very much enjoyed Daniel’s pursuit of Amy and loved that despite the fact never expected to settle down that once her realized Amy was the woman for him he went for it completely and totally. I’ll admit I grew weary of Amy’s reasoning for not being with Daniel. She trusted Daniel enough to be her best friend and confidant for years, but refused to believe that he wanted her in his life as his lover and more. For someone as educated as she was and someone who had the job of counseling others she needed a prescription for “physician heal thyself.” I would have loved to see Amy really take stock of her life, accept that she had some issues and grow a bit more, I felt that even though she figured out she loved Daniel she still didn’t completely trust him which was sad.
Despite the problems I had with this book, there were moments of fun, moments of reflection, moments of joy, moments of seriousness, and many, many moments of sexiness making Planned Seduction an entertaining romance.

Jess Dee introduces her book as one that has been in her head for years. The characters just wouldn’t let her be until she wrote it. The result is a wonderful story about what happens when friends take their relationship to the next level. Daniel Tanner is a well-known photographer who has been taking photos of a children’s cancer wing a hospital. The photos will be auctioned off to raise money to redo the ward and make the lives of the children who are there a little brighter. Daniel knows that the assignment will be tough since his older sister fought and beat cancer as a child. He finds himself filled with memories as well as a sense that he needs to go after what he wants and not wait for it. So he decides it is time to make his feelings for his best friend known. He plans out and executes a seduction. He just hopes that he doesn’t lose everything. Amy Morgan has had her heart broken by men that she trusted. She doesn’t know how to trust and now all of a sudden the one man that she knows she can trust is changing their relationship. Amy has counted on Daniel to be her best friend for years. She knows him. She has seen him go through relationship after relationship and she knows that commitment is not his strong suit. Now she finds her feelings changing and she sees him as more than just a friend. The question is can she move their friendship to the next level without jeopardizing it? What happens when Daniel finishes with her? How can they go back to being friends? My favorite thing about this book is that the male point of view is so prevalent. Daniel really drives the story and is the one who wants things to change in their relationship. Usually it is the female who wants more out of a relationship. Having the male lead initiate it was a refreshing change. I will warn readers that this book has hot and heavy sex scenes. Ms. Dee holds nothing back so if you are someone who doesn’t want to read that type of book, than this is not for you. For the rest of us, the sex scenes may be steamy, but they are needed to move the story along. Without the physical chemistry between them, the friendship would not change at all.

This was one mighty hot and sexy read.  Daniel was utter perfection.  I loved all the things he did to get Amy to fall for him.  He played the game so very nicely.  Definitely need a fan for several parts of this book.  Amy, I loved her and was frustrated with her.  I understood her situation, but not how she could resist Daniel's intentions.  But it did end on a very sexy note, so I can't complain.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review from the publisher through Netgalley.

his is the first time I have read Jess Dee and i enjoyed it! i always love the friends to lovers troupe so when I read the plot I was sure I will love this story!

Daniel Tanner and Amy Morgan have been friends for seventeen years. But then Daniel realizes he is head over heels in love with Amy and that he wants not only to be friends but also a couple.

The problem is that Amy doesn't trust men after being hurt first by her father and later by her ex boyfriend.

Amy will have a hard time dealing with her feelings and sometimes she will sound a little stubborn but apart from that , the chemistry between them is amazing and the book is funny and entertaining.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy provided by the publisher via NetGalley

A great story from a new-to-me author. I was a little irked with Amy's constant belief that Daniel would cheat or leave her, but I see why too. Past experiences can really mess you up. Sexy times and best friends to lovers storyline written well. I'll read more by Jess Dee.

another lovely story by Jess Dee. I have to say I am never disappointed in a story that is written by this author and this was great from start to finish.

Amy who was a therapist and Daniel had been best friends for the last seventeen years
 Amy and Daniel were careful to keep their relationship at friendship because they didn’t
want to chance losing their friendship.Daniel and Amy made it through their teens without making out once and that was something.  Then Daniel gets a photography shoot at Children’s hospital and it shows Daniel life can be short and you should go for what you want and Daniel wants Amy as he has been secretly in love with her for a long time. But Daniel never could find the right time to tell Amy how he really felt. Amy believes men always leave her and will never stay, Amy was afraid of being hurt like in her past that started way back with her daddy issues.Then her last live in boyfriend cheated on her. But also Daniel had a lot of woman in and out of his life and Amy had seen all of them. Daniel would do almost anything for Amy. But even though they had been best friends for so long Amy didn’t trust Daniel with her heart.   
I liked this story but did find some things irritating about it like when Amy has been with Daniel then pushes him away because she is afraid she will lose him. Why didn’t Amy go to a therapist for herself ? But otherwise I did enjoy the story. I also thought the plot was good. I liked Daniel’s character a lot no matter what he doesn’t give up on Amy. I also love how he didn’t just blurt out his feelings or didn’t pull away from Amy. He also tried to ease Amy into more than just friendship. I liked the characters and the ins and outs and I recommend this story.

This is a great blend of sweet and sexy all wrapped up in one book. The love story of two best friends. 

 " You think if I kissed you right now, it would be any different? Any less explosive? You think nothing else would happen?"

Daniel is in love with his best friend and she has no idea. So he plans a seduction to get her to realize that they belong together. It doesn't take much to get Amy to realize she wants Daniel just as much. 

This is such a quick and easy read. You will fall in love with Daniel and Amy in the first couple of chapters and next thin you know the book has ended.

This is a good friend to lover’s romance.  I loved the chemistry between Amy and Daniel, the sex was steamy.  The story was okay for me, Amy had a lot of baggage and it was hard for her to trust Daniel.  Can he convince her otherwise?  Overall it is an entertaining read.  I liked it.

Cute best friends to lovers story. I'll definitely recommend this to my customers who prefer the sex to story ratio a bit higher.
