This audiobook was pure temptation from start to finish. What begins as a reckless bet and a single night of indulgence quickly turns into something far more addictive—and emotionally charged—than either character expects.
Lucas is the ultimate walking red flag: cocky, confident, and fully aware of his appeal. But what makes him dangerous is how clearly he sees the FMC—especially the desires she’s never voiced out loud. Their chemistry is instant, electric, and layered with that delicious this is a bad idea but I want it anyway energy.
The spice is bold and unapologetic. The MF heat is intense, the MM scenes are seamlessly integrated, and the voyeuristic elements add an extra thrill without ever feeling overdone. Everything feels intentional, sensual, and rooted in character chemistry rather than shock value.
🎧 Narration Review: Savannah Peachwood is phenomenal—she brings vulnerability, longing, and confidence to the FMC in a way that pulls you right into her head. Teddy Hamilton, as always, is dangerously smooth. His portrayal of Lucas is effortlessly seductive, confident, and just the right amount of smug. Together, their performances elevate the tension and make every charged moment hit harder.
If you love audiobooks with high heat, risky dynamics, and that one night was never going to be enough vibe, this one is absolutely worth your time. 🔥🎧
Another short & spicy novella to add to the list 😏💦
Lucas & Avril are in the midst of a game at the start of this book…who will give in first (whew they’re hot)?! But prior to now, they both were into eachother & Lucas is the one who got away. Now that Avril is divorced from his ex best friend, aka her ex husband, GAME ON!!
This was HOT & I have truly enjoyed all the novellas in this series.
Her Secretive Second Chance by Adele Knight is the fourth standalone novella in He Sweet Seduction.
This audiobook is a duet-style performance by Savanah Peachwood and Teddy Hamilton. Savanah is phenomenal; her performance beautifully highlighted the FMC's longing and vulnerabilities. Teddy is Teddy …. Do you really want me to say anything more? Ok. Fine. The man is a god that can take any shape form or character, he is smooth, sexy and extremely seductive. Their performance makes this story shine.
The chemistry is palpable from the beginning, I could say electric. The spice is bold, unapologetic and get your toys ready. There are MF scenes and MM seams let integrated with the most delicious voyeuristic elements.
Thank you so much Adele for allowing me the opportunity to listen to this ALC, my opinions are my own.
Quick and Oh So Hot 🔥 Another spicy novella from Adele Knight in the Her Sweet Seduction series that I loved. This is a fast paced story of two people who have skirted around their feelings for each other since first meeting. Avril, married and now divorced has a risqué bet with Lucas, her ex-husband’s best friend. I thoroughly enjoy Adele’s short novella’s not only do they all have a lovely ending, this one was especially fun and steamy with the characters fulfilling all their fantasies with each other. Listening to this audiobook narrated by Savannah Peachwood and Teddy Hamilton was so much better than my reading it. They are electric together and it was extremely hot. Great story and narration.
So I haven't read really any kind of erotic, spicy romance books. This is technically my second, so I'm not really a pro at these kinds of reviews.
The way the book was formatted I didn't like very much, it was hard to read and be able to follow along. I also wish there was more of a plot instead of hardcore s*x because even if it is a short story I was expecting a little more.
The characters were cool, spicy, and bold, and the erotic scenes were made with a lot of interest and care- written well.
Maybe just more of a plotline.

3.5 ⭐️ This felt a lot like the first one, a fun smutty read. But it did have the epilogue / extended epilogue that made me love it more. I do think it made the MM component not necessary though especially since they end up together just the two of them. But still a fun read, enjoying this series as a fun restart between longer books / series.
⭐️4/5 🌶️3/5 This is the 3rd book I've read in this little series of novellas and they are now known as my slump busters. The books are short, spicy and to the point. I have loved everyone of them so far. This second chance romance includes some MF, MM and voyeurism and I was a puddle the entire time.
Quick read, not my favourite in the series but the first half was awesome, from about the 60% mark it starts to feel really rushed and the love confession seemingly came out of nowhere? I also am not the biggest fan of pregnancy tropes especially in epilogues so I think that affected my review too. Overall a good read but I highly recommend her “filthy enemy” book more than this one :)

He pulls open the door, then stops. “I’m not Ben. I would never ask you to give up anything.”
One Seductive night with her ex husbands best friend. Will a second chance at love prevail.
This was a great quick novella and I'm grateful to have the chance to listen on audible. The narrators as always are amazing. Narrated by Savannah Peachwood and Teddy Hamilton.
Avril (h) is moving on with her life after her divorce from her cheating ex, Ben, and enters a bet with Lucas (H), Ben’s former friend and the man Avril has wanted ever since she met him. Lucas proposes a week-long abstinence bet for himself and Avril, and whomever holds out gets to have their fantasies fulfilled. Partway through the bet and things heat up between Avril and Lucas with nothing off the table, or bed, including Lucas and another man, William. But William seems to want more and Avril isn’t sure she’s ready to risk her heart again. Ultra-hot and steamy second chance quickie with MF and MM.
Well, you can’t win them all. This is the first in the series that I haven’t liked. Actually, I considered DNFing it, but it’s short enough that I didn’t see the point. It felt like it was written by someone else. Very distant, repetitive, cheesy, and unbelievable. I don’t think it’s common for men to be able to have a dozen orgasms in one night without some helpful supplements, but whatever. It’s mostly the last page before the epilogue (again) that pissed me off. Oh, and the fact that there’s two epilogues. One I was unnecessary. Two is absurd.
Deeply hurt after her failed marriage, Avril wants to move on but first, she gives in to a once-forbidden fantasy. Sexy and emotional, this is an excellent story. I loved it.

Now, I’m not a very big second-chance romance lover, but then again, I wasn’t a friends-to-lovers romance fan before Adele Knight either. Her Seductive Second Chance was so good; I was sucked into the story from the very first line, and I’ll definitely be rereading it in the future! Honestly, I can’t express enough how much I adored Avril and Lucas. For a novella that had so much spice in it, it also had such strong emotions running throughout; I felt the grief, the heartbreak, the fear for things that could be ending that had only just begun, and of course, I felt the desire and the love so deeply. I very much needed the epilogue and second epilogue to mend the heartbreak I was feeling for these lovable main characters, and I’m so happy to find out just how happy their lives are and just how spicy they still are. Avril is so strong and sexy, and Lucas exudes sex, but he has this gooey soft centre reserved for Avril; he’s perfect for her, and the perfect man, really. I think my rating is obvious by now, so naturally, this is a Five out of Five stars read.
This is another over-the-age of eighteen novella, and there is no need to worry about waiting too long because spice is on the cards very early on. This is a second-chance romance, with a couple that should have always been, and have pined over each other for years but not once crossed that line physically. Lucas is possessive and greedy, and his control is waning in all the best ways, but he’s also caring, giving, and wears his heart on his sleeve like a love-sick pup. Avril is recovering from heartbreak, but she’s coming back stronger than before; she knows exactly what she wants, and she’s taking it. It’s glorious to see. Seriously, this couple brings all the heat. Her Seductive Second Chance is primarily male/female, but there is a male/male scene that is witnessed by the lucky Avril. This novella holds one of my favourite lines in a spicy romance (the first line of chapter three); it makes me laugh in giddiness every time, and of course, it comes with a very happy HEA, including a lovely glimpse into their future. The Her Sweet Seduction series seems to be one favourite after another for me.
📚Her Seductive Second Chance by Adele Knight 🎤Savannah Peachwood & Teddy Hamilton
DUET NARRATION 2.50⭐ Book 4 in Her Sweet Seduction
Thanks to Adele Knight and Must Love Audio for a #gifted copy of the ALC. All thoughts are my own.
Second chance is literally one of my favorite tropes. It's my own HEA. So I went into this thinking this was going to be some sweet second chance story but guys THESE TWO get down to business right away. They waste ZERO time. These two believe in eye contact and saying things that should probably come with a warning label.
I feel like second chance romances are somewhat tender but this one is just down right FERAL! At one point I paused the book because I couldn't believe these two were shacking up so quickly. I needed time to process. I listened to this as I was shopping and kept thinking, "Um. Teddy, Savannah, cool it down. I'm around other people." They are on fire and don't stop! 🔥This is really a story about unresolved feelings between two people but make them loud, flirty & down right dirty.
Their chemistry hits so fast I barely had time to take a sip of my Dr. Pepper. Almost had a spit take at one point.
The book is only 1.5 hours so not much can really happen except these two have multiple sleepovers but NO ACTUAL sleeping occurs.
🎤Let's talk audio: Savannah & Teddy have done this whole series and I'm NOT sad about it for one flippin second. Teddy plays the feral MC and Savannah is always as sweet as pie with that little hint of erotic probing. These are perfect to get out of the house, take a walk by yourself and just enjoy them quietly so you can fangirl properly over Teddy. Quick, fast & naughty!
Her Seductive Second Chance is about best friends Avril and Lucas.
It's a pretty short book, just like the rest of the series, and it gets to the spice pretty quickly (chapter 2 or 3?), but we still get to see some sweet moments and their relationship develop. Also, I LOVED that Lucas was a stay-at-home dad and Avril was the one who worked full-time in the epilogue!!
Another thing that I've enjoyed in all the books thus far, this one included, is that although it is, by anyone's standards, a very short and quick-to-read book, it doesn't feel rushed, unfinished, or too much like a surface-level read.
The chemistry, angst, and spice were delicious and I ate it up, as I always do with this series. In this book we get second chance, mf, mm, voyeurism, best friends, friends-to-lovers, one night, angst, loads of hot tension, great spice, 2 very cute epilogues, and an HEA. This one is written in 1st person, single pov (FMC).
Her Seductive Second Chance is the 4th installment in the Her Sweet Seduction series. The next one, Her Rockstar Ex, will be coming out on September 30th. It's not the first time I'm reading this author's works, as I've been following this series and will continue to, and she has yet to miss for me. 100% recommend!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Short, spicy, and surprisingly addictive.
I went into this expecting a quick, fun listen… and ended up fully entertained from start to finish. Adele Knight delivers a bold, fast-paced story that doesn’t waste time and knows exactly what it wants to be.
The premise is simple but effective: one night, a bet, and the one man the heroine absolutely should not want. Lucas is confident, tempting, and dangerously perceptive—he sees through her walls and straight into the fantasies she’s never admitted out loud. What starts as a game quickly feels much more personal, and that tension kept me hooked.
The audiobook narration really elevates the story. Savannah Peachwood and Teddy Hamilton bring heat, emotion, and playful energy that make every scene feel vivid and immersive. The chemistry comes through clearly, and the performances add an extra layer of indulgence to an already spicy story.
This is a great pick if you’re in the mood for something quick, bold, and unapologetically sexy. It’s not meant to be deep or drawn out—just a fun, steamy escape that leaves you smiling and wanting more by the end.
Perfect for readers who enjoy short romances with high heat, confident characters, and a touch of scandal.
Trigger Warnings include: mention of cheating (not between MCs), voyeurism involving the MMC with another person
When Avril’s husband cheats on her, his best friend chooses her. Supports her, protects her. Avril and Lucas have been playing cat and mouth with each other. Since long before her marriage. But they always ignored it. She has always been cautious, and he’s always been unafraid to walk into the unknown. If this was written in dual POV, I probably would have given it four stars. Not knowing what was going on with him and getting lost in her circling thoughts sometimes took away from the story.
My Favorite Quotes: • “I'll take everything you offer, even what you don't." • “The first time I come, I want it to be inside you.” • “I’ll wait as long as it takes.” • “I can't give you up. I'll follow you anywhere." • “You're it for me.”
To get over your ex-husband, fuck his best friend. Avril's ex-husband cheated on her with his ex-girlfriend. They say the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else so she makes a bet with her ex-husband's best friend (Lucas) that she's been attracted to for so long, no sex pact (including solo) for 1 week, whoever caves first has to fulfil the others fantasies for one night. They push each other to the limit but he caved first so she won the bet. For her prize she want to watch him with another man. (he's bi and so is his friend that joins the party) I thought there might be a group scene or make it why choose since she slept with William (3rd party friend) before but nope. Lucas brings him in to furfil her fantasy then promptly kicks him out so he can have her all to himself. This is very smut heavy which was fun but morally it was iffy for me. They were into each other for her entire marriage, they didn't act on it then but it still doesn't quite sit right. I mean her husband was cheating so maybe alls fair. What do I know?
Another spicy hit from Adele Knight in the Her Sweet Seduction series and WOW—I devoured this one. 🌶️🔥
This fast-paced novella follows two people who’ve been dancing around their feelings since day one. Avril is finally moving on after divorcing her cheating ex, Ben… and then enters Lucas—Ben’s former friend and the man Avril has wanted since the moment they met. 👀
Lucas proposes a week-long abstinence bet. No touching. No giving in. Winner gets their fantasies fulfilled. Sounds simple, right? WRONG. Halfway through, the tension is off the charts, the chemistry is feral, and absolutely nothing is off the table—or the bed. 😮💨
🎧 Audiobook friends: do not walk. RUN. Savannah Peachwood and Teddy Hamilton narrating this?? ELECTRIC. Their chemistry takes an already hot story and turns it molten. Honestly, listening was even better than reading. 🥵🔥
Fast. Spicy. Addictive. Exactly what I wanted. 💋📚

Her Seductive Second Chance delivers exactly what a bedtime treat promises: quick, spicy scenes that hit fast and hard. As a steamy escape, it works. But as a cohesive story… not so much.
The chapter transitions have almost no flow, and more than once I caught myself checking if I'd skipped a page. The pacing jumps abruptly, which makes the story feel fragmented rather than seductive.
A recurring issue in Adele Knight’s shorts shows up again here: the secondary characters are basically cardboard cutouts. They’re props, not people - no voice, no emotions, just placeholders to move the plot.
The bet subplot had potential, but lacked depth. Avril was supposed to set the rules, yet Lucas took control from start to finish, reducing the power dynamic to something much more one-sided than intended.
In the end, it’s quick, hot, and easy, but weighed down by inconsistencies and missed opportunities. Perfect as a steamy palate cleanser, but not memorable beyond the spice.
To say I'm obsessed with this series is probably an understatement... I absolutely adored these spicy lil novellas and Second Chance is my favorite yet! I think... I seriously love them all, don't make me choose. 😂
Avril and Lucas were so hot right from the start. Spicy games of chicken are always a hit, especially when they are betting over who gets control of their one night together. The cab exhibitionism scene got us started, but William getting dragged to her apartment and railed by Lucas in the hottest show on earth really drove the spice level home.
And it that wasn't enough, the ending and epilogue had me swooning into a melted puddle. They were so sweet and perfect and I was so happy they got their happy ever after.
Did I mention that Teddy Hamilton and Savannah Peachwood bring this to life with DUET narration? Cause they do. And it's incredible. An hour and a half of nonstop drooling tbh. Thank you so much to Must Love Audio for the advanced copy!
