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.

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.

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.
