I received this ARC copy of this book from NetGallery for an honest review. The storyline between AJ and Lexington was well written. I give this book 4 stars.

Chance Seduction is a fun sexy romp with a serious plot through line. As a warning the serious aspects of the plot deals with kids who have cancer.

Lexi is determined to meet AJ Riley when she discovers he is staying at the same hotel as her. Sure, they have an appointment in a couple of weeks but she is determined to win him over to her cause ahead of time. Unfortunately, her efforts to find him amount to nothing. But she does meet a sexy stranger for a passionate one night stand. Unbeknownst to her, that guy is AJ Riley - and while he knows who she is, he also doesn't know that she wants to meet him to convince him to fun her project. When they do meet officially, he's determined to keep away from her, but the attraction between them is making him forget all his arguments for why he doesn't want to get involved. As Lexi starts to break down his emotional barriers, he needs to decide whether keeping his distance is worth it.

Both Lexi and Adam are drawn to each other from the start. What starts out as anonymous one-night stand (at least on Lexi's part) becomes something deeper. Sure, I got annoyed at the hot and cold behavior by Adam, and I wish we had seen more of his epiphany at the end, rather than he relating it to Lexi, but it was clear from the first time they touched that Lexi and Adam were special and meant to be together. The addition of the serious topic of childhood cancer kept this from wholly being a romp, but this was well-balanced with humor and the continued development of the relationship between Lexi and Adam. While this was a fairly predictable read, I did appreciate that Lexi and Adam actually discussed their relationship and nothing was simply swept under the rug in order to have a happy ending.
4 Stars

Chance Seduction is heartbreaking, seductive and irresistible all at once. Ms. Dee continues to surprise me with a versatility that I initially found to be lacking. She proves herself to be a powerhouse in matters of the heart while never losing that sensuality that I've come to expect from her. The seriousness of the story is balanced out by some much needed humor that lightens the heart and ceases to detract from the subject at hand. Impressive.

this is another re-release of jess dee's samhain publishing titles and the companion novel to planned seduction. i'm going to be super honest here, i liked chance seduction so much more compared to planned seduction where both main characters annoyed me like whoa.

so in chance seduction, lexi tanner is intent on meeting aj riley because she has a proposition for him. she wants him to invest in a charity project that is near and dear to her heart. he's kind of reclusive though and she's not really sure what he looks like. when she literally runs into the hottest guy she's ever met she's distracted but not for long. when she runs into the stranger in an elevator and finds herself in his arms, well, it couldn't be helped. the spark between them was that strong. and the one night of sex was extraordinary.

so imagine her horror when she finally meets aj riley and realizes that he was her hot one night stand. aj, or adam, has been trying to get over the feelings lexi arouses in him for months. that encounter in the hotel wasn't the first time he'd laid eyes on her. and even from across a room he'd known that he should stay away from her. because she had the power to break through his shell.

ever since he had suffered an indescribable loss, he'd  been living a half-life. and unsure about how to best protect his fragile heart from more pain he blows so hot and cold that lexi suffers some severe whiplash. he rejects her cruelly and then pins her to him as if letting go were an impossible task. the extent of his pain is excruciating. what he puts lexi through is excruciating. but they have that explosive chemistry. and the fact that no matter how he protests he can't seem to let her go.

and that's something. and is it enough for lexi? because even though she understands his pain and why he suffers, it's still no excuse for how hot and cold he is with her. especially not when you consider how she lays herself bare for him. it would be an easy thing to hate adam, except you see how much he suffers. i love the deep emotional connection these characters share. and how they must overcome their suffering by letting love in.

Jess Dee has written another hot awesome romance. Good solid writing.

Chance Seduction, by Jess Dee is a contemporary romance that focuses on an intense romantic relationship between the main characters with an underlying serious theme.

Lexi Tanner is working on fundraising for a project to help families, especially young siblings, cope and be supported when a family member has cancer. Due to her sister having childhood cancer, this is a special project for Lexi, yet she needs large sums of monetary donations for the project to be completed. One primary company that she contacts is owned by AJ "Adam" Riley, who happens to be her recent one-night stand.

Until their business meeting, Lexi had no idea that her recent lover was the same man whom she's asking to support her project. Their overwhelmingly intense attraction combined with a tragedy in his past prevent Adam and Lexi from moving forward in a positive manner with business situation, as well as their romantic relationship. Most of the book is spent with the main characters either talking or thinking about their serious attraction to each other.

Chance Seduction is geared towards those who prefer contemporary romance books with a high focus on angst, drama, and attraction.


Note: I received this book from NetGalley, which is a program designed for bloggers to write book reviews in exchange for books, yet the opinions expressed in this review are my own.

The story starts with a scorching hot one-night stand that, unbeknowingly, ends up being with the same man she needs to approach for a large charity donation. Lexi is desperate to raise the money needed for the children's charity she's starting—but how can now that she knows the real identity of her one night love? Adam certainly comes with some baggage. He swears to never get close to anyone again. He's been there before and does not wish to suffer the hurt again. But Lexi rocked his world and he can’t get her out of his mind. That night should have been enough but he ends up wanting so much more, but he ends up wrestling with himself because even though the attraction is strong, he’s determined to protect his heart. Lexi, I found to be quite a strong character with a good heart, she desperately wants the charity to be a success and help people. We find out what Adam has been through in the past and how heartbreaking it is and it’s the reason he won’t put himself in a vulnerable position again. He blew quite hot and cold with Lexi but the reasoning behind this made sense. This was a lovely, heartfelt story with two stubborn but very likeable characters and the sex scenes were hot. It told of tragedy and the dreaded cancer and how this can devastate lives, the sufferers and the ones left behind. I’d recommend this book as although it has some sad moments, it ended with a positive and happy HEA.

I do love my entangled books and this is another brilliant one by there authors. Jess Dee is one of my favourite authors and I really enjoy her books. Again this is another one she's just blow me away with  and by god what a book it is too. I really couldn't put it down at all. I even stayed up late just to read this book. Again if your after a fantastic and brilliant book and you really love your entangled brazen books like me, then your going to love this one too. Would totally recommend

Lexi and Adam meet in a hotel lobby where Lexi stumbles into Adam and does not know who he really is.  One night of passion ensues and Lexi is none the wiser of who she slept with.  Adam knows all along who Lexi is.  He determines that she could be detrimental to his heart so he has a Jeckyll/Hyde personality with her.  One minute he is cold and the next instant he is professing to want something with her.  I found it hard to connect with them at points because of this.  Adam does have a real reason for guarding his heart but Lexi put up with too much crap from him at points.  There was an interesting dynamic between these two and it was interesting to see how it played out.  Cancer does play a big role in this book and how it impacts those around it.  I liked how Jess Dee made you feel the full impact of what Adam went through.  Would have liked a little more insight into Lexi since she was creating a charity for the siblings of those affected with cancer.  I didn't feel all that connected with her because, although given the back story somewhat, I was left wondering why her sister wasn't more involved in the charity.   If you have liked the other Entangled Brazen series of books, you will like this one.  It was interesting, Adam was a complex character and Lexi seemed to just want to do more good in the world.  Overall an easy, quick read.  I received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review from NetGalley.

Adam was giving Lexi whiplash with his back and forth emotion changes. I am surprised that she didn't ask if he had a multi personality problem in the beginning. Of course we new what caused his emotions to run all over the place, but poor Lexi is left thinking that it was because of something she did or said. How she handles it is amazing, just shows how perfect she is for him. I don't think anyone else would have been as patient with him.

Good book.

excellent read

'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?' 

If you're looking for a steamy romance novel with two stubborn lead characters, this book is exactly what you need. It's well written and has lots of sexy scenes.

When AJ wants alone time with his woman he makes it happen, "the lift bumped to a stop and the doors opened. A man stepped inside. “Lift’s full,” AJ barked. “Take the next one.” He banged on the door close button, and the startled passenger jumped out backward as the doors shut again." AJ has no shame, “something happened when you barged into my office.” He lowered his voice. “I got an erection.” I really liked this book, I fell in love with AJ.
