"Seductive Nights" by Suzette Riddick
My Rationalization:
What a good series this was of 'The Night Series book 3' in "Seductive Nights" that dealt with Julio Castro and Alexandria Lawrence's second chance at love. It seems after Julio recognize his big mistake in letting Alex go, but was it too late to rekindle the love they once had? Well, it seems after Julio learns about his three-year-old adorable daughter, Maliah he will be more than happen to set things right by stepping up to the plate to have them both in his life. I loved how both Julio's and Alex's families [the Lawrence's and the Castro's] were brought into the reading giving the reader some other surprises and in the end, we get an endearing sweet HEA.

Short but enjoyable read
The book covers one of the subjects I usually dislike. Secret babies because the mother is hurt that the father behaved badly or just didn’t want them. However I like that the author didn’t drag us through the usual court battles, lawyers etc nor was there the typical disapproving parents. The topic was treated with maturity and I enjoy that. That Julio really was a charmer. I was finding the going back together a little too smooth actually if only because after being so profoundly hurt, I was skeptical that Alex could just move on no matter how much she still loved him. Therefore I wasn’t surprised that she lost it about the Vegas deal. It was bound to happen, however unreasonable she was being. They had all the I’m sorry but it takes some real soul searching and maturity to forgive a rejection like that. I’m glad it happened before they got married so the resentment she had towards his job wouldn’t grow and fester. I was glad that Alex could accept well meaning advice. Joey was a fantastic sister. Actually I also enjoyed that both Julio and Alex had such a strong and supportive family system. The HEA was nice. All in all this was a well executed romance with no fabricated/unrealistic drama, perfect for a lazy afternoon

Mi'Amor❤❤
After four years, Julio still had Alexandria on his mind and in his heart not knowing that their love created Maliah their daughter. It's sad that Julio was betrayed by someone who he looked up to and mentored him. Julio chose his career over Alex and ended their relationship not knowing that she was pregnant at the time so she didn't tell him about the baby. It was by chance that Julio ran into Alexandria and Maliah and he knew instantly that she was his daughter. I love how Julio stepped up to the plate to have both women in his life. I'm glad that Alexandria had support from her father, Garrison, and her sisters, Joey and Sammie. Sammie was to judgemental for me but Garrison checked them all quick though. I love how Julio's family welcomed and accepted Maliah and Alexandria in their lives. I'm glad that they got their HEA.

HEA!!!
Alex and Julio once were a couple, but when Julio career start to take off and he broke it off. Four years later Alex has a child that Julio knew nothing about. Running into each other, Julio meets his daughter for the first time and decides to get Alex back as well as get to know his daughter. Spending time together and getting to know each other again, Alex realized she still loved Julio. Telling each other how they felt they took their relationship to the next level. I loved this story so much. Julio and Alex loved each other and bought into the world a beautiful little girl Maliah who was the cutest to read about. She had so much love and I was happy she got her dad. and Julio loved her from the beginning. I loved the family dynamics and wanted more. This was my first book by this author and I have to read more by her!!

Wonderful read!
I do feel sorry for Julio because Alex took the choice from him to be a father to his child after their breakup making him look like a deadbeat dad when indeed he wasnt. Even if life is going well never anticipate the ball to drop. Alex pretty much waited for it fall to force Julio to decide concerning his ambitions. I felt that was a little harsh on Alex part. I love how tight their family is. Outstanding!😍💞

The last book in this series had me the most in my feeling Alexandria got on my bad side when I found out she kept this secret from Julio,but as it went on I understand why I still don't like it. As everything starts to grow so did Julio and Alexandria love we had i few OMG its going to happen again like it did four years ago . Get the series and enjoy the love of each couple and what they went though to make each other their Soul Mate

Solid
This book was solid. The characters were good and well-developed. I wanted to see them, though. The good descriptions were missing. I loved the focus on family, and his family, the Castros were great. Her dad was too. I read these out of order, so I'm going back to read the rest. Bravo!

This book tugged at my heart, so relatable and filled with some of life's difficult times. I adore the author's writing style. The characters are delightful, which builds the story even more. I'd love to read Sammie's story also and hope there are plans for such. Hats off to a heart-warming story, and series. Thank You!

Seductive Nights
This was a love story about Alexandria Lawrence and Julio Castro. They previously had a relationship over four years that ended badly. On a chance meeting at a spice shop they again met and to his surprise she's now a mother. After an instant glance at the child he realized he was a father. After much soul searching this led to their happily ever after.

Another sweet love story for the Castro family Julio and Alex almost lost because each other because he took the advice of a friend who was not a friend and Alex did not tell Julio she was carrying his child.

Wonderful story
This was a very nice read. I really enjoy reading about the Castro family. Julio didn't start out as my favorite person the way he treated Alex I didn't like it. Julio redeemed himself and him and Alex have a wonderful family.

Great read
Great read, I enjoyed the characters and storyline. Julio and Alexandria (Alex) had a relationship that ended badly for Alex four years ago. The result was a child Julio didn’t know he fathered. This is their story of reconnection, love and family.

The one that got away
A sweet story that focuses on redemption and second chances.
I hope the sisters get a book, because Sammie is something else. I see fireworks in her future.

So so
Some what ok. I chose to read this book because of author's other books. This book just didn't have that quality of the "Love conquers all series.

The night series has been a great re ad. Enjoyed the family collaboration in each other life. The sisters had a maternal bond, that's seldom happened.

Great read
I enjoyed the journey of love. I’m trying not to do a spoiler. I just think reading this will remind a person that everything is not as it appears.

Adorable story
"The Night Series" was an enjoyable read and I found myself wishing that the series was not over. I took two hours to read the last three chapters and epilogue.
The theme that family is forever and though everyone is not always perfect, we can improve. I enjoy reading the author. "Two Hearts as One" and "Love Conquers All" series are in my Kindle library and various other books. I anticipate reading more of her work.
