Oh my. I blazed through this book. Seriously.
This was a sigh worthy end to the trio of womanizing “douchbags” (Max’s term – not mine!!).
I did – really – I sighed out loud at the end of this book. Maybe even let out an “awwww”.
First off – Maddie was adorable. So was Caleb.
Max was a great ending. I had my doubts about him because of book 2 when he totally flipped out on Jade and Zach, but that seemed to be smoothed over. And it seems like he would be the protector that Avery needs in her life.
I admired Avery for being a survivor without turning into either a total hard ass or a basket case. She was successful in her chosen profession – she didn’t “need” to be rescued – and I think she makes a good match to Max’s strength.
Like the last 2 books – passionate sex scenes that are both emotional and sexy.
Definitely well worth the read. Just make sure you have the time because you won’t want to put this down.
What an amazing read. It pulls you in and keeps you there to the very end.
Max not looking for love meets Avery and his world is flipped. He loves his sister very much and is happy with his life until he sees her.
Avery has a dark past and with her daughter Maddie they are content with life. Till she meets Max and her world shifts.
Will she be able to let go of the past and learn to trust again? Will she be able to tell Max everything about her and Maddie or will she keep it hidden? Will Max be able to trust Avery and when everything is revealed will he be able to keep what they have or lose it all?
This book will have you laugh and crying and falling in love with Maddie and all her sweetness
This happened to be the first book I’ve read from this author and I really liked it! Avery is a woman who has survived life’s ups and downs and lived to tell about it. She’s fierce, fiery, talented, loving and in many ways a super mom. She’s dedicated to her career and her family. She is perfectly paired with Max! Oh let me tell you, he was a hottie from the first description! He’s also fierce and a cutthroat businessman when he needs to be. He’s been through is own personal hell and keeps pushing. He’s equally talented, funny, sexy and detests liars. He lays it out there, no matter what it is.
Their relationship is quick and intense. They both have skeletons in the closet that will come out soon enough. I really loved them as individuals and together. I feel like TC really brought them to life and spun their story with a lot of depth and emotions. It gets you right in the feels! Also, the fact that she went away from the “norm” for their careers was fascinating. A professional snowboarder and a winemaker, who knew? Fabulous read, heartfelt, steamy, and incredible! Winner!
I loved this story SO MUCH!!
I have to tell you Avery frustrated me beyond belief with her secrets. I totally understood it, I honestly got her reasons and fears but OMG! Max was absolutely perfect and she knew it!! Her secrets scared me because the longer she kept them, the more I knew it would end them. And Gah! I didn’t want that to happen I loved them together too much.
On the edge of worry while devouring this fantastic story and the whole time there was this adorable little Maddie who made me smile and brought me to tears. I just adored her!!
I was so wrapped up in this story, I thought about it when I had to put my Kindle down sneaking a page here, a chapter there. I needed to know how this was going to play out.
I started the book remembering how mad I was at Max in the last book and finished it smiling through tears and loving the man I thought I hated, Max.
This series was awesome each one better and more romantic than the last. This one was my favorite though!
Avery and Max have steam heat and secrets galore but nothing is going to stop them from dancing the dance of seduction. Max has been watching his friends fall left right and center, but so far he’s escaped Cupid’s arrow. He never thought one night of passion followed by him being ghosted would be his downfall. Avery knocked him for a loop, but she apparently wasn’t likewise affected because she left him with nary a glass slipper to find her. It seems though destiny has set its sight on them as she shows up literally on his doorstep. Avery has responsibilities coming out her ears and her one night of indulgence wasn’t supposed to come back to haunt her. It’s bad enough Max consumed her thoughts must he actually consume her day? She needs to focus on Maddie and providing and caring for her, not get distracted by his cocky swagger. Turns out Max is used to getting what he wants and he’s made it clear that’s her, but can he handle her baggage?
I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book
Have you ever fallen in love?
I did with this book. The way the author brought the characters to life makes you feel as if you are living inside the story as well. I loved seeing the characters develope and how they came together. You really get to know Max more in this story and his reasoning for why he is the way he is. He’s got a heart of gold, once you get past all the layers of steel he puts around his heart. I would recommend this series to everyone!
Ms. Maston blows this one out of the park. In the first book we meet Max as a side character. Hes brooding, quiet and angry. Then in book 2, he explodes on his sisters situation. I hated him. Then, the author brings us his story. And let me tell you she knocked it away. We understand why he is the way he is. Avery and Max’s story is explosive and a must read. If you haven’t read any of the Debonair Serid, you are missing out. Ethan, Max and Zach are heart throbbing book boyfriends you cant get enough of.
I love Max!! He’s your typical rich single guy. He doesn’t usually chase women. Avery is different. She Sparks something in him. I love the way he pursues her. I love how strong Avery is. She’s a tough cookie,with a big heart. Their story is so sweet. I loved Maddie and the epilogue. It really added to the story. I loved it!!
5 Stars
Seductive Secrets is the final book in Matson’s Debonair series with Max finally getting his story. Max has watched his two best friends and sister find their true loves and settle down, but he is content in his bachelorhood and success with the winery. That is until Avery Taylor. The beautiful blonde that catches his eye at his annual fundraiser, and the same one who’s number he failed to get.
Avery has tons of baggage and has sworn off all relationships. She has more important things in her life to worry about, but meeting Max Lauder has knocked her for a loop. Deciding that she can indulge in some harmless sex, she decides to give in to Max’s advances and agree to a “friends with benefits” relationship. These two were fantastic together. The push and pull, and their chemistry is white hot. Max knows he’s falling for her and can definitely see a future with her in it. Avery knows she’s starting to fall for Max and it has her freaking out. She has so many secrets that she’s sure Max would run for the hills if he ever found them out.
I loved this book. Matson’s writing grabs you from the beginning and keeps you enthralled until the end. I loved seeing these two characters grow and fight for what they want. I loved having the whole crew back and Zach never failing to miss ribbing Max about doing his sister lol. And sweet little Maddie is the cherry on top. The Debonair series is definitely #oneclick worthy. All three books are standalones, but if you’re like me, you want to read them in order.

I love Max and Avery!
They met at a galla. What was supposed to be a night of fun, turned into more…. Avery is very secretive about her past, and she doesn’t talk about what has happened. Max hates secrets and lies. When him and Avery get together, it’s not as hell. Until Max wants more. Avery finds out something about Max, and Max finds out something that Avery didn’t tell him. He doesn’t know what to do..
It’s a great story of love, Avery and Max have awesome chemistry. And when they get together, sparks fly. I loved this series. I would definitely recommend to other readers.
I loved this book so much. Avery has been through so much in her younger years and it has shaped the person she is today. When she meets Max she not even close to wanting be in a relationship but he makes her want more. But will the secrets that she keeps be the ultimate deal breaker for him? I loved these two so much and enjoyed reading this book.
This is the third book in this amazing series, and in my opinion; this is the authors’ best work to date! Avery and Max struggle to overcome past issues, and work hard to make their relationship grow from strength to strength, as together they complete each other. This is a beautifully written story, which is emotional, and with secrets, lies, humor and love. I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I look forward to reading more of this talented authors’ work, which I highly recommend for all readers.
Seductive Secrets by TC Matson a five-star read that you won’t want to keep a secret. This is the third book in the Debonair series, but each book is a stand-alone and revolves around a different couple. Each debonair gentleman seems to be better than the last, and Max Lauder I would drink you down like a tall glass of delicious wine, but he needs a woman who could go toe to toe with him and that woman is Avery Taylor, but just because she can go toe to toe with him doesn’t mean they wont be treading on each other’s at any point. This was such a fantastic read filled with chemistry and drama and great little quips and long, long spiels from a certain little lady. Each sentence will resonate with you in a different way and each will compel you to the next. I have to admit this may just be my favourite read by this author and its weird as for me the kids stole the show!!
Soooo good! I’m usually not a huge fan of small children having a big role in a romance book but little Maddie had my heart melting. Her interaction with Max is priceless and makes them both even more lovable.
While watching his best buds fall in love and start families Max is still happily single and playing the field, that is until Avery enters his life. He never thought he’d want just one women but Avery is a game changer that he wasn’t expecting. Watching them struggle to overcome their own issues and build a relationship is simply wonderful. I love the bond that they both share with their loved ones and how they fit into each others lives.
This is a contemporary romance that will absolutely leave you with a smile on your face.
Omg. I thought I was going to dislike Max bc of the drama he caused, but he definitely has stolen my heart. He just put himself out there, and went for Avery.
Speaking of Avery, I love her! She’s a strong, independant, and smart woman. She’s not in the market for a forever, but Max isn’t letting her get away.
Of course there are turbulent times for these two, and they both go through a lot of emotional growth. And the ending is everything!
SEDUCTIVE SECRETS
By: TC Matson
TC MATSON AT HER FINEST
Okay…Everyone knows, for years, I have loved every book ever written by TC Matson….Yeah? Well, then it shouldn’t surprise anyone to know that I love SEDUCTIVE SECRETS, the final book of THE DEBONAIR SERIES…..
Honestly, after reading book 2 of the series, PERSUADING PERFECTION, I may or may not have thought Max Lauder was an irredeemable character, but (and this is one of the things I love about TC Matson’s writing), I couldn’t have been more wrong…..of course he was…
Now, If you don’t reread all of the books in a series every time a new one is released…. well…..I can’t really relate to you….But, you must remember Jade Lauder’s sexy big brother, Max, who beat the crap out of his lifelong best friend, Zachary Calloway, who had impregnated Max’s baby sister, and who, with Jade, had kept the secret of their years long love affair….Yeah, that Max!) The reason I wanted to remind you of him is so you would remember how far he has come…
Max Lauder meets Avery Taylor at a gala, and they are equally smitten…They do make a hot couple, but she has more secrets than a priest could keep…and because of their limited time together (due to one of those secrets) they spend more time in bed and less time talking…..actually, sometimes, they don’t even make it to the bed….But, everyone knows secrets have a tendency of coming out at the worst possible times…….
Although, I am always sad when a good series ends, I know she is already working on a new one, and I know I’ll re-read THE DEBONAIR SERIES, again, because it is TC Matson, and she is one of the best!!!!
Finally Max gets his story, after being the protector of his sister Jade his whole life, he finally gets his HEA. Avery is very protective over her heart and her daughter. These two are so perfect for each other, once they get both get past all their insecurities. Avery’s daughter Maddie is the cutest thing ever, love how she will talk everyone’s ear off. Must read book, I laughed so much thru this book and even shed a tear or two.
