Rekindled Flame!
Secret Heir Seduction is a Hot addition to the Texas Cattlemen’s Club: Inheritance series. Reese Ryan does an Awesome job spinning a passionate love story between two driven characters while staying in the sizzling plot line of the series.
The chemistry between Darius and Audra was evident from the beginning to the end of the story. I sat in awe as I turn each page reading how Darius and Audra fought feelings of past betrayals to heal and move forward while coming to terms with new challenges.
Secret Heir Seduction is a complete love story, but there is a mystery in the background of the series leaving you wanting more. I truly enjoyed the author’s contribution to one of my favorite series and look forward to the next Reese Ryan novel.

Enjoyed reading this book. Did not want to put it down
Wonderful story loved the characters but I cant stand wondering what was up with Vaughn theres like no insight into him at all so I’m left stumped on that part. However it was a great story I only wish I hadn’t read it in one day lol.
I love a good reunion romance, and Reese Ryan has written a scorcher!
REVIEW:
This is a second chance story of a couple who found love in the end. Darius and Audra had dated in the past and when Darius found out that his stepfather was not his biological father and the fact that his mother would not tell him, shook him to the core. He was so angry with his parents that he stop speaking to them. Just as his life was going well who his he get a call from someone who going into business with him. This bring on a lot of problems.
Audra and Darius run into each other and although Audra though she was over Darius, but she realize that their things in the past that needed to be resolve between them. The attraction is still there, and they are both trying to fight this attraction. As Darius and Audra started ear them apart again. Will the relationship survive, you will have to purchase and read the book to find out?
I received a ARC from Booksprout for an honest review.

First let me say I have yet to be disappointed by a Reese Ryan story. I really enjoyed this book and I’m glad that Darius and Audra found their way back to each other. I understand that Darius was full of anger when he first dated Audra not knowing his biological father but I’m glad that he realized that he had a good father already who loved and adopted him so he was open and ready for love in his life. Reese handle the self identify and self awareness concept well. I’m glad that Kellan and Sophie have accepted and welcomed Darius into their lives but Vaughn doesn’t seem to want him as a part of his life. I like Kace and Lulu together.
He has just found out he is an heir and he will be next door to his ex. He never explained why he left her. Will they try again? What if they do try again? What if they are secrets? See what will

He was wrong on so many things when it came to her. She just wanted him just as he was. I can understand why he chose not to say anything to her about being an heir. It makes sense to confirm before telling. They had some things to talk about to really make it work.

A really great read.
Once again, Reese Ryan, did not disappoint. I received an ARC through Booksprout for my honest review. First let me start by saying that I love second chance novels. Darius and Audra are both very driven people with a history of a grad school romance that ended badly. Fast forward to a chance meeting while they are both in a small town in Texas on business. They clearly still have feelings for each other and I love the fact that Audra is a free thinker with piercings, that greatly intrigue and attract Darius. When Darius finds out that the business he thought he was in Royal to handle becomes personal, he decides to hang around and spend some time with his newly discovered siblings. There second chance at romance is prodded along by no other than Sophie, Darius’s sister.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and highly recommend it. This was my first in the TCC series but it has piqued my interest and I plan to delve deeper in to the series.

Where do I even begin with this terrific romance? It’s wonderful in so many ways, and it was exactly the book I needed to read this week. Not too heavy, not too fluffy…just right. It restored my faith that books I’ll love are out there, waiting for me to find them.
Let’s start with the quality of the writing first. In short, this is how it’s done. The plot was tight, the pacing was perfect, there was a lovely balance of sweet and heat and not a single typo, wrong word, or questionable bit of grammar to be found…too often, that is not the case with traditionally-published titles or indies. I was impressed from start to finish by the sheer professionalism on display here. Reese Ryan knows what she’s doing, and then some.
And now, on to what stood out to me the most, once Darius and Audra had gotten their well-earned HEA. Look, I’m a white woman, and I’m often dismayed and disappointed by the one-dimensional way that people of color are portrayed in American media. Not here. Not a stereotype to be found.
In this book, our Black main characters (along with assorted other diverse side characters) get to be educated, successful entrepreneurs (both the hero AND the heroine – double kudos), with layered family and social lives and complex relationships. They are depicted as productive citizens who care about their communities. You know, like they are in real life.
This should not have been anything extraordinary or refreshing, and yet, it was. What’s more, it was integrated so seamlessly into the overall story, that if there weren’t a national conversation happening around the topic right now, the average reader might not even notice it was there. I loved every second of it, from start to finish. I want to see more of it in romance publishing, and I want to read more of it in my daily life.
You know what else I want to read more of? Reese Ryan’s books. I’m off to do just that now, and I highly suggest you do the same.
This is a beautiful love story that draws you into the story as if you are part of the story witnessing it first hand. This second chance romance leads you to the dynamics of Audra and Darius tangled lives. These two are amazing. I couldn’t put this book down.

Darius Taylor Pratt is a Harvard-educated, self-made businessman. Owner of Thr3d active wear, he has earned every single one of his successes. So when he discovers he is the secret heir to a billionaire father who kept track of him all his life but never once deigned to contact him, it rocks his carefully constructed world. More surprises await Darius, including the return of his love interest, Audra Covington. Her appearance after their love affair during their MBA studies causes complications when it becomes evident that the chemistry has not abated with time.
This is a second-chance love story. Ryan’s writing is tight and the pacing is perfectly orchestrated, giving you one twist and reveal after another. You are never pulled out of the story. The romance between Darius is sexy, fraught and well-earned. These are two highly intelligent people with history and emotional baggage to work out, coming together in an already tense situation. Their HEA is convincing and well-earned.
The secondary characters are fascinating in their own right, which is important, because the couples in the novel receive their own stories in other books in the series (I walked in to the middle, so I have some catching up to do). However, Secret Heir Seduction can easily be read as a stand-alone and I did not feel like I was at a disadvantage for not having read the previous ones. That being said, there is also an over-arching storyline that spans all the novels, engaging the reader to follow the story to the very end.
Great world building, excellent characters, and the romance is fuego! I’m looking forward to catching up to this series.

This book is a story about Darius and Audra. Their love started in college but because of quiproquo end not on good terms.
Years later they are both two successful people in fashion: Darius with clothes and Audra with jewellery and because of destiny they are once again bringing together and this time around would give themselves at love with forgiveness, truth and acceptance?
I love how we get to see how they evolve as a person and also they love story and all the people around make reading the book so much fun. I’m always pleasantly surprise with Reese’s ability to blend all the secondary stories so perfectly with the major one.
