The main character Darius is getting acquainted with the family he never knew when he runs into an ex-love who is designing jewelry for the same family. While in Royal, Texas they continue to run into each other until it’s obvious that there is something unresolved between them. Darius ended things poorly when they were in college, and he has to prove to Audra he’s serious this time. Eventually. That’s one of my concerns about Darius. He knows he’s attracted to Audra, but it takes him awhile to figure out his emotions.
This story also contains a subplot with two smaller characters, Lulu and Kace. I wish that it was explored in more detail.
Overall, Secret Heir Seduction was a fun read.

Darius and Audra dated in graduate school. By divine intervention they are in the same city interacting with the same family. Trying to reconnect with another is challenging due to unresolved issues. The story was not as good as Ms. Ryan’s other stories. The story was lacking her normal sparkle.
Reese Ryan never disappoints. I am of fan of second chance romance so I really enjoyed Darius and Audra’s story. Despite past misunderstandings and family secrets, love won. I recommend this story and I can’t wait to to see who’s next to find love.
Explosive secrets come to life! With the fourth book in the Texas Cattleman’s Club: Inheritance series, Reese Ryan brings the illegitimate secret son of Buckley Blackwood to Royal, Texas.
Darius Taylor-Pratt is such an easy guy to like. He’s worked hard to grow his company, and isn’t happy to have a possible business deal bring him to town only to sideswipe him with the information of who his secret father was. To make matters even more electrifying, his temporary next door neighbor is none other than his former grad school girlfriend who’s heart he broke when he dumped her with no explanation.
Audra Lee Covington is a strong, accomplished character … who still has a soft spot for the one that got away. He might have broken her heart, but the time they shared together still stands out as the happiest time of her life.
I highly recommend this book and the series as a whole to anyone who enjoys lots of drama mixed into their romance. I’m looking forward to more to come in the series!
The Texas Cattleman’s club is an amazing series, a looong running series with a variety of authors getting their own installment(s). It’s a treasure trove of goodness for your future if you haven’t had the chance to partake.
This book four of the Inheritance arm of the series and it did not disappoint . It’s a second chance love with all the angst and drama you would expect from a relationship that didn’t make it the first time around.
Darius and Audra have a sad history that makes you root for them this time around, I was anxious after their first meeting, I mean biting nails nervous .
I thoroughly enjoyed this book I think you will as well.
I LOVE Reese Ryan and I can’t wait to read her contribution to the Texas Cattlemen’s Club series!
Can’t wait to dive into this one! I love high-stakes second chance romance.
This story is packed with so many good elements like love, secrets, ex-lovers and good drama. Darius and Audra are wonderful characters who have been brought back together unknowingly. Their chemistry is still wonderful after years apart and I loved their characters. I enjoyed this second chance romance and this couple deserved a second chance at love with each other. The story held my attention and interest until the end, enjoyed.
Audra and Darius had a very complex and interesting relationship. The journey to get past past hurts was complex and full of uncertainty. Rediscovering the spark they once had but also understanding where they went wrong made Secret Heir Seduction a page turner. I highly recommend this book to all who want to immerse themselves in a love affair rewind.

Second chance romance fans, grab this!
Reese Ryan never fails to write a sexy, emotional, high stakes romance that includes secrets, family drama, second chances and passion! AND it’s another Texas Cattleman’s Club book! Loooove!
New from Reese Ryan! This is going to the top of my TBR pile 🙂
I really liked that this was a continuation from the previous book. Loving Darius and Audra and of course their back story and then you add on Darius’ news on top of that and there was a lot going on in this book. I enjoyed watching both Darius and Audra, both great people, who are very successful in their own right, however a past hurt is holding them both back. I did like that they were able to talk and get closure on the past and see what the future holds. I also liked that we were able to see everyone from the previous book plus meet a few new friends. I also have to say that my opinion of Miranda is changing, I just really want to know more about her. I’m definitely excited for the next book in this series.
Secret Heir Seduction is Reese Ryan’s contribution to Harlequin Desire’s Texas Cattleman Club: Inheritance series. Darius Taylor-Pratt and Audra Covington have a history that dates back several years. On the day that Darius discovers his true parentage, he encounters Audra. His newly discovered half sister does her best to put them together. Both characters are dealing with their past along with the present lives. Will they find a future? Will Darius come to grips with his parentage? Secret Heir Seduction is a fast read that I couldn’t put down. I highly recommend reading it along with all of the books in the Cattleman Club series. I received an advance copy which I chose to read and review. This is my honest opinion.
(3.5 stars)I didn’t enjoy as much as I wanted to because I didn’t read the other books in the series. So going in I wasn’t up to speed with all the players. But I did like the King’s bourbon cameo. It was penned in true Reese Ryan style so overall is a good story. I received an ARC version of this story for an honest review
Secret Heir Seduction starts right off with the action. Darius Taylor-Pratt is a self-made man, he started his active wear company Thr3d from a dream and hard work. Learning he is the secret heir to a billionaire turns his world sideways. Learning who his father is only half the surprises he’ll face in the first few pages. It’s what I really love about this story, within a few pages we’ve learned who Darius is, some of his backstory and we’re thrown into his drama, and by chapter two we’ve met Audra, his former lover and boy oh boy do sparks fly. If that doesn’t make you want to read this book, then let me tell you they are one sexy couple in a town of sexy couples. Reese Ryan has peopled her story with secondary characters who add spice and diversity to the setting and story. We get a little taste of several other romances and family dramas going at the same time giving us a rounder view of the town of Royal.
This is a second chance love story. If you like hot, sexy, characters with deep emotional scars and strong ethics, then you’ll love Reese Ryan’s stories. Each book becomes my new favorite, but I think this one will be hard to beat.
I love the second chance romances. The separation of the couple allows them to grow into themselves and make their love even more amazing for round 2. And this was exactly what happened for Darius and Audra. From the beginning you could tell they loved and longed for each other, and I couldn’t stop reading as I followed their journey back to each other. Wonderful read and it even sparked my interest in case the author wants to write about some of the secondary characters *hint hint*.
