Sweet story love the characters so much. Love the second chance they got. I don’t usually read stories about famous people but I love this one. I will look forward to reading more stories from the author.
Reese Ryan really heats things up in Book 3 in the Dynasties: Secrets of the A-List series! A dynamic cast of characters, serious passion, and lots of twists and turns.
Seduced by second chance wasn’t what I expected, first I feel like I was reading two book in one, it was so compelling I couldn’t stop. I read straight and was left wanting more on the twists plot and super content with the wrap on the actual story.
I love Jessie character strong, bold and vibrant and Gideon cocky just enough to claim her. Love it, the author did an amazing job writing two ploy twists and making them fun, entertaining and sexy.
Loved Reese’s contribution to “Seduced by Second Chances (Dynasties”: Secrets of the A-List Book 3). I hope that Reese also gets a part in Joss Woods’ book about her characters Jessie and Gideon.
I’m not use to reading about 4 main characters in one book usually there are two main characters and secondary characters but again Reese did a excellent job with her characters.
Jessie is singer and Gideon is a real estate mogul. Jessie’s parents didn’t want Gideon with the oldest daughter Geneva and I don’t think that Geneva really wanted to be with Gideon. Jessie’s parent had no ideal that Gideon would turn into a real estate mogul. That just goes to show no judge a book by the cover. Gideon did realize that he and Geneva had both made the right decision by both going their separate ways because if they both had stayed together he wouldn’t have been what he became a real estate mogul.
Teresa is a event planner and Liam’s is a billionaire businessman. Teresa was Liam’s father’s protege and after his father’s death not only did Liam but his mother believed that she was having an affair with Liam’s father who left her 25% of his company. Liam’s mother has secrets of her own that she is hiding and Liam wants answers. Liam’s mother is evil I wouldn’t be surprised that what she is accusing Teresa of doing that she did it . Hopefully we will find out the answers to what is going on in Joss Woods’ book Redeemed by Passion (Dynasties: Secrets of the A-List Book 4.
Seduced By Second Chances by Reese Ryan
Jessie Humphrey and Gideon Johns are the main characters.
Jessie is an aspiring singer and Gideon is a millionaire who dated her sister in high school. Jessie has a hard time letting go of the past in order to take a chance at love with Gideon. Gideon also resists the relationship but they spend time together and they fall in love. Jessie has a hard time believing that Gideon wants and loves her. I really enjoyed this book. It was very well written. I received an arc in exchange for an honest review.
Seduced by Second Chances is the third installment in the Dynasties series. This is the story of Gideon Johns and Jessie Humphrey. Jessie has wanted Gideon for a long time , but he was in love and engaged to her sister which made him off-limits. Gideon is now available and has a strong attraction to his ex’s sister but he does not want to cause a rift in between them so he has deemed her off-limits also. Will his past relationship with her sister keep them apart?
I am really enjoying this series that these ladies have written . I knew this book was going to be good so I waited to read it. I love how each author just picked up where the last one ended and continued the story line making it even juicer than the last. Reese Ryan has not once disappointed me in her stories and she came through again with this one. I was talking and shouting at characters I was predicting how things were going to unfold but Reese Ryan said no ma’am my Book is not predictable and that is why I love her writing style and her books. The next book is bittersweet because I cannot wait to see how it all ends but I do not want the series to end.
This is a great second chance romance read. The characters are well developed and engaging and the storyline flowed smoothly.

I really likes how this story covers the lives of several characters at one time, it is definitely a soap opera on the written pages but without the overly dramatic emotions portrayed by actors so I enjoyed it much more. The story and characters play out in my imagination and I can control the emotional output, which is why I cant watch day time TV. The storyline does provide a HEA for one of the highlighted couples and enough of a cliffhanger to entice you to read the next story about the second leading couple. Very good writing and and dynamics. I’ll be looking for more.

Book three in the Dynasties: Secrets of the A-List series and this series is just getting better with each book. I hope Catherine Christopher gets back everything she has given to everyone and more, what a malicious woman she is. I want to read the next book in this series.

Seduced by Second Chances by Reese Ryan is part of A Secret of The A List mini series! This is the third book in the series. I suggest reading this series in order. You will get bits and pieces of many stories and be out of the loop if you don’t. This book held me intrigued and kept me captive by Gideon and Jesse. I had to immediately start the next book in the series. I read them both back to back in the same day. You will not regret this read.

Seduced by Second Chance by Reese Ryan. To me this is a multiple couples story. The main couple being Gideon and Jessie They ET each other when they were younger. Jessie gas always had feelings for Gideon but he chose her sister but in the end he wast good enough for her because he wasn’t rich and their father felt te same way. But not Jessie she took a hance and went to see him but he rebuffed er advances. Which then catapulted er career as his career took off after the break up with her sister. Fifteen years later they both have regrets and when they see each other again all the feelings come rushing back. Jessie is afraid to take the chance that he might have feelings still for her sister. But Gideon has to prove to er that she is the only one for him. I want more of these two. The other couple Liam and Teresa love each other but a scandal is keeping them from truly being together. But they are so attracted to each other that they find it hard to stay. Their story comes out in the next book. When they find out who s truly ehind all their problems it won’t be nice. Can’t wait.

Will Jessie’s fantasies become reality?
This is my first book by Reese and I will definitely look to read others. Jessie made a career on singing about lost love which was inspired by Gideon, her sister’s ex boyfriend. Fast forward 15 years, and Jessie is going to make her own album after her contract came with stipulations she wasn’t willing to accept. Jessie is singing for a client’s 5th work anniversary where Gideon is in attendance when next they meet. Will misunderstandings continue to keep them apart? You have to read to find out and will love the interactions of other characters we met in the prior books in the Dynasties Secrets of the A-List quartet.
Jessie Humphries wants to maker her own music her own way, and since she wants to do it without the restrictions of her former record company, the only way it will happen is if she can get a big music producer to help her. Gideon Johns knew Jessie back when his heart was broken by her sister, Geneva , but when Jessie told him of her true feeling back then, he pushed her away. Now both of them are older and wiser and need to see if they can build something together.
One thing I really liked about this story was the slow build of romance between the two main characters. It wasn’t a rush for them to end up in bed together, but they took a little time to get to know the adult version of each other. There was a story about another couple woven into this book which brought more drama and heat to the story. I really enjoyed this book.
4 1/2 STARS!
Forbidden love rekindled! With the next book in the scandalous Secrets of the A-List: Dynasties series, we get to catch up with the key players and continue the big celebration that has forthcoming in the earlier books. The event’s entertainment headliner will reunite with the one that got away at the same time as she’s stepping out on her own career wise. We also get more info into who is setting Teresa up for a fall and whether Liam is going to put his feelings for her first or let the past continue to color his opinion of her.
Pop star Jessie Humphrey isn’t prepared to come face to face with the only man she’s ever loved, but she isn’t left with any other option. She’s at a point in her life when she’s ready to step up and take what she wants … but does that include him even after the humiliation she suffered?
Billionaire Gideon Johns hates that he hurt Jessie all those years ago … he was young and she was his ex’s little sister, so he didn’t handle her feelings well. He panicked and was gruffer than he should have been. He’d like nothing more than to make up with her … especially when he is standing in the same room with her and attraction is flaring.
Wow this is one emotional twister! Gideon and Jessie set this story on fire with their on going drama! Once you start reading you can’t put it down I was engaged in this book from start to finish!

I definitely recommend you read this book and series and you will not be disappointed.
I Voluntarily Reviewed an ARC Copy Of This Book.
Seduced By Second Chances upped the ante on this series and has me so excited for the conclusion. It had drama, suspense, betrayal, love and sweet, sexy scenes. Liam actually didn’t annoy as much in this one and I even began to like him. My fave parts though featured Jessie and Gideon, I enjoyed their journey. I thoroughly enjoyed this one and I’m highly anticipating the next book in the series.

If you’re looking for a drama-filled romance book then Seduced by Second Chances has your name written all over it. This is the third book in the
Dynasties: Secrets of the A-List series. The series consists of four books, written by four different authors. Each book has its own hero and heroine with their own complete story. However, there is a bonus couple in the first three books who have the fourth book all to themselves. There is also a mystery arc that plays out over the course of the series. If you plan on reading Seduced by Second Chances and are only interested in a romance then this is a standalone read. If you want to follow along with the mystery, then you need to read Tempted by Scandal by Karen Booth and Taken by Storm by Cat Schield first. This series is like Dynasty and Dallas on speed. It’s soooo good.
Gideon Jones and Jessie Humphrey have a history going back more than 15 years. Gideon is Jessie’s older sister Geneva’s ex-boyfriend. In fact, it was Gideon’s failed relationship with Geneva that pushed him to become a successful billionaire real-estate mogul. Jessie’s unrequited love of Gideon has turned her into a talented songwriter and singer, whose heartbreakingly soulful songs of love and loss have made her a superstar.
The fifth anniversary celebration of Richmond Industries brings these two together in Napa Valley. Matt Richmond is a friend of Gideon’s and during the event Gideon hopes to get Matt to agree to go into a business deal with him. Jessie is one of Matt’s favorite singers and he is beyond excited she has agreed to perform at the event after the previously scheduled one ended in disaster. Jessie’s career is at a crossroads and she actually hopes to connect with a couple of people in attendance at the event. The story of Gideon and Jessie was really good. My only issue is that it seemed too clean. The biggest obstacle for them is that he is her sister’s ex. Surprisingly, there was no drama there. The storyline was set up as if there would be, but there wasn’t any at all.
As mentioned, there is another couple featured in this story. Teresa St. Claire is an event planner and Liam Christopher is a businessman. The two have a history that readers first become aware of in Tempted by Scandal. This couple has an on-again-off-again relationship that is clouded by trust issues. I really liked that Reese stayed true to this couple in the same way they were originally introduced by Karen. This series centers around this couple and all the drama deals with them. I felt the drama and mystery was missing in Taken by Storm but Reese brought it back with a vengeance. I cannot wait for Redeemed by Passion by Joss Wood. I haven’t read her before but I am really expecting a great read and to be blown away.
