So, I was expecting the usual from Jess Dee … hot, sexy, steamy, possibly ménage, definitely off-the-charts sex. I got so much more from Chance Seduction. I ran the emotional gamut in this wonderfully written story by Jess Dee. AJ Riley is a man that you are going to love to hate but hate to love … and you will fall in love with him. He’s arrogant, ignorant, head-strong, determined, sweet, sexy and vulnerable. He’s dealing with his past with no looking towards the future. Until he meets Lexi and he knows that his world is going to be turned upside down. He recognizes the woman who could make him feel again and let down all his defenses. He can’t and won’t allow that to happen. Lexi needs AJ Riley. She had no idea what he looked like and was totally taken aback when she showed up for the meeting and found HIM … now what? She needs his support and his money. She doesn’t need his attitude, his abrasiveness or his arrogance. She also doesn’t need the reminder of her one indiscretion or to have it thrown in her face at every turn. Just when she is convinced that he is the biggest bastard she has ever known, he lets her in. And, again, now what? Does she forgive him or just walk away from the pain that he constantly causes her? This was an incredible story that pulled at my heart-strings. I give Jess Dee a lot of credit for writing this story and tackling this subject. I could only hope that it was written from her imagination and not her heart. I really have no idea how to put into words everything that amazed me about this story – how she was able to write a love story that centered around a tragedy … how she combined that love story with the tragedy and brought everyone out on the other side … how she expressed both Lexi and AJ’s feelings. Yes, I was blown away by this story. I was touched by this story, wanted to cry in so many places, wanted to slap AJ and shake Lexi. I totally expected Chance Seduction to be something totally different and was so pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t what I expected. I cannot praise Jess Dee enough for the telling of this story. It was beautifully written and will definitely satisfy your craving for drama, hot sex and love. |
Thanks for the opportunity to read and review Chance Seduction. I've struggled to get into it so far, so I won't be reviewing at this time. If I do get to it in the future, I will review at that time. |

When Lexi Tanner’s unbelievably hot one-night stand turns out to be the same man she needs to approach for a hefty donation, things certainly get complicated. She’ll do anything to raise the money needed for the children’s charity she’s starting—but how can she ask AJ Riley for money now? Adam knows he’ll never love again. He’s been there and done that. But the sexy woman he had an unbelievable night with causes cracks in his emotional defenses as well as cranks up his libido. One night should have burned her out of his system, but this kind of heat comes with strings. This was an ok story for me. It was a pretty standard plot with a set of layered characters. The scenes were pretty steamy and the book was a fairly quick read. I just really didn’t like AJ and had a hard time with forgiving him for how he was with Lexi. **I voluntarily read and reviewed this book |
If you've ever read a Jess Dee story, then you know already that you're getting plenty of sexy times ... usually in all kinds of ways (if you feel me lol). I haven't read a lot by her (yet) and I plan to change that very soon. She packs a punch kids. This story ... it was more than just a romance journey with exceptional sexy times. It had emotion and depth! Adam especially will make you run the whole gamut of emotions. You will hate him while you love him and you will feel for him while you want to slap the stupid from him. You will definitely be conflicted by him but he's got a really big heart with a heck of a lot of baggage .. so be patient :) you'll love him in the end #TRUST And as for Lexi ... there's nothing not to like really. If you're looking for a solid read with likeable characters and a well developed story-line then just one click away! |
I enjoyed this a lot more than I though I would. Great characters, great chemistry and enjoyable story line |
Chance Seduction is steamy, soul wrenching, and fulfilling. Lexi is looking for one man she believe will help her fund the money for her start up children’s charity, only problem? He’s one tough man to find because she doesn’t know what he looks like and he refuses to meet with her. Even after to the hotel she knows he’s at, she still can’t find him. Or can she? Adam is the man she ends up meeting and having a hot one-night stand with, only to find out he is AJ the man she’s looking to meet. I would give this novel 4 stars. |
A quick and dirty read that fell flat for me at some points, but I really did enjoy the relationship between Adam and Lexi. |

Emotional roller coaster ride with some sexy as all heck stops along the way! Great read with enjoyable & believable characters |
Chance Seduction is an emotional, sexy tale. Lexi is trying to get funding for her program that provides support for siblings of cancer patients. There's one man she's been trying to pin down for a meeting to ask for funding, AJ Riley. But he's managed to elude her so far. When she meets a hot man who stirs her in ways someone hasn't in a long time. They have a hot one night stand and she figures she'll never see him again, unfortunately. Then she walks into a meeting with AJ Riley and boom, there he is. I figured this would be a stock, sexy one night stand turns up again story, but it's more. Adam (AJ) is an emotionally stunted man in so much pain that he cannot allow himself to move on. His son was diagnosed with cancer and died and Adam hasn't been whole since, even though it's been years since he passed. Lexi is the first person since to make him feel, to make him loosen the tight control he has had over his emotions and his life. But, because she makes him feel, he constantly pushes her away so much so that she had to have been suffering from whiplash. He was at turns warm and sweet, then a cold bastard who accused her of ridiculous things. While I absolutely felt for him because it was obvious he wasn't really a bad person (just in a lot of pain), he was so cruel to Lexi so many times that I had a hard time understanding how she could possibly have taken him back. But, when you're in love, you can forgive just about anything. Chance Seduction turned out to be much deeper and complex than I had been expecting. Adam and Lexi, especially Adam, are fully drawn, deeply layered characters who share a deeply emotional and physical connection. Kudos to Jess Dee for such an emotional, sexy story. |
Lexi Tanner’s has one-night stand with the man she has been trying to track down to get a huge donation. Only she doesn't know it is him because they never exchanged names. AJ Riley knows who Lexi is and wants her the second she falls into him. There is the problem of the donation and them sleeping together.... so you know of know where this story is going right off the bat. |
This book was ok. Lexi and Adam had an explosive one night stand, come to find out that Adam is the guy that Lexi has to ask for a donation. He thinks she was using him, and she is upset that he knew who she was. Thus begins the issues, and Adam annoys you with the his ping pong actions. |
MY RATING: 2.5/5 STARS I received an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review. This is my first Jess Dee novel so I didn't know what to expect but since it was published by Entangled Publishing, I had certain expectations. Hot Sex. Check. A couple with amazing chemistry. Sort of check. And a plot that made me go oh yes! Not really there. I wanted to give Chance Seduction at least 3 out of 5 stars but it missed it's mark in my opinion because of several reasons. Let's start with discussing the plot of this novel. Lexi needs funds to support her charity and the only one that can help? It's Adam also known as the guy she had red hot sex with literally the day before they meet up. Lexi, of course, didn't know it was the man she was going to beg for a donation, so it obviously leads to some very awkward conversations when they first meet, properly. Anyways, Adam becomes defensive towards Lexi, misunderstanding her for someone who slept with him for the donation and Lexi, obviously is pissed at Adam for thinking so low of her. I'll let you read the rest of the novel to find out what happens between them. Let's move onto Adam. The reason why I didn't give 3 out of 5 stars to this book was simply because of him. While I loved all the book boyfriends in my previous stories I've read, Adam was a difficult one. He had a complex background including a divorce that left him scorned and a secret that readers won't find out until towards the end. I enjoyed his complexity but I seriously hated him when he was so fickle with his mood. He would be exactly what Lexi described him (twice). Hot and cold and then back to soft and then moody. It grated my nerves and made me wonder if he could suffer a mental health issue instead of just bring the broody dominant character's we're so used to. Anyways, there's nothing much to say about Lexi. She's a safe character who supports Adam and gets hurt in the process. MY RECOMMENDATION Together with Adam and the average plot, Chance Seduction was enjoyable but definitely not the best. I recommend to try other Jess Dee books. |
Sizzling with chemistry, Lexi and Adam/AJ are given one heck of a story in Chance Seduction. An unexpected meeting, followed by surprises at an expected meeting leads Lexi to Adam. He was a broken man, difficult to like at times. He was likeable but stoney. Lexi went through a lot with him, and held on like no other. I really enjoyed her strength. This book makes you feel. It grabbed me from the first pages and kept my interest. I was dying to get to the end. Chance Seduction is evenly paced with characters that you just want more from. Highly recommended! *Review Copy requested and reviewed on behalf of OMGReads* |
Lexi had an AMAZING one night stand with a man who she never thought she would see again. When she arrives at a meeting with a potential donor for a new program at the hospital, she is stunned to realize that the man she has not been able to forget is also the one she has to ask for money. AJ knew Lexi had no idea who he was during their wonderful night together, but he can't help but accuse her of knowing exactly who he was. He can't risk his heart and he feels that if he gives into the pull he feels, he will lose everything. Lexi and AJ's story is amazing, hot, complicated and heartbreaking. I couldn't get enough, although at times I really wanted to strangle AJ. You knew he loved Lexi, but he was just too scared to risk his heart on her. Lexi was such an amazing character and I instantly loved her. She was so strong and knew AJ was worth any heartache she may receive. I though the story was wonderful and flowed well. The author did a great job of wrapping up the story in way that made you cry your eyes out. I enjoyed every word and I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next! |

Lexi decided to indulge in a one-night stand with the sexy Adam. Unbeknownst to her, not only did Adam know who she was from the beginning, but he's also AJ, the man she's been hoping to meet with in regards to funding her children's charity. AJ, due to something from his past, isn't exactly the most trusting person. Though he thoroughly enjoyed his explosive night with Lexi, he believes it was orchestrated by her as she's hoping he'll support the charity she wants to start. Both AJ and Lexi felt more during their time together than the usual one-night stand entails, but AJ isn't thinking of a future because he hasn't quite let go of the past, and as such his actions, and feelings, in regards to Lexi are conflicted. As AJ and Lexi begin spending time together, their attraction begins growing, but AJ remains guarded, unable to take a chance on being hurt again. Will AJ ever fully let go of his past? What happened that made AJ into the man he's become? Will he risk his heart and explore what he and Lexi could have together? Will Lexi accomplish her dream of opening the charity? Why does she want to? Will AJ and Lexi get their HEA? One-click now and follow along as one man meets the only woman that can break him out of his self-imposed exile. **I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.** |
I voluntarily read this advanced readers copy of this book. I just couldn't put it down once I started reading it. Strong characters and great story line. I can't wait to read more of this series. |
While Chance Seduction is my first Jess Dee book, since it was from Entangled, I trusted that I would enjoy the ride. All in all I did, but I think it just left me wanting more. I enjoy flawed/damaged characters (they're more realistic to me) and we get that with Adam/AJ, but all of his back and forth with Lexi sort of grated my nerves to a certain extent. Their chemistry was palpable, the misunderstanding that ensued after their one night stand was realistic, and the sex was hot - but I just couldn't vibe with him and his personality, which made it difficult for me to really invest in the relationship and thus the books as a whole. I give Chance Seduction 3 out of 5 wine glasses. |
