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.

Super sexy story with a fantastic heroine - I really enjoyed this book! I can't wait to read more by this author!

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.

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!

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.

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.
