I received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.
Rose is a witch with dark powers that she doesn't know how to control. She shares a cottage with her best friend Ocean in what is called a community. The community is made up of friends that are like family. Her mother Rainbow and little sister Jasmine also live in this little community of a coven of witches. Rose is like any other woman and wants what they want like someone she can love and who can love her back. Because of her magic everyone shuns her and are afraid of what she can do to them.
Rose's mother Rainbow has a very evil and cruel heart. The only thing she cares about is her own power and that of the covens. She will use anyone or anything to gain more power. Rose with the help of Ocean is beginning to find out who and what kind of person her mother is. Rose is nothing like her mother and never wants to hurt anyone. Rainbow controls Rose and everyone else in the coven using them to her advantage and making them believe all her lies.
Knowing that her mother is wrong about her using her powers and after finally realizing that she can't hurt anyone ever again with her powers, Rose decides that she wants to learn how to fight so that she can defend her family. Rose and Ocean decide to take karate lessons in secret with her mother having any knowledge of it.
When Ocean and Rose walk into the karate studio to sign up for lessons they meet Derek a Druid/wolf shifter. Rose is instantly attracted to Derek and he to her it is love at first sight for both of them. Derek has just come home after being away for a long time. Derek is the oldest son and is expected to take over the family business but this not what he wants. Derek wants to make it on his own and not have to depend on his father. He has come home because is little brother was in an accident and is in a coma like stage.
While both Derek and Rose's families are being attacked they have no clue that it is their families when they meet. Rose believes that the O'Conner's is attacking her and her family but she doesn't know that Derek is an O'Conner. Rose doesn't know that it is her family or mother that is attacking Derek's family.
Will Rose find out the truth about her mother? Can Derek and Rose stop the war between their families so that they can be together? This is the first book that I have read by Kimberly Kinrade and I can say that I truly loved it and can't wait to read more of her work. I really liked to reading Seduced by Innocence. I can't wait to start the next book Seduced by Pain. Can Derek forgive Rose? Will their love for each other be strong enough?

But one night, one touch, could destroy them both and give Rose's family what they need to end the O'Conner shifter line forever.

I received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.
In the second book Seduced by Pain of the Seduced Saga Derek has found out who Rose is and what she did to his brother Dean. Rose has to deal with the fact of what she can do with her dark powers and learn how to control them. She is determined to use her magic for good and not evil. Rose keeps calling Derek over and over but Derek won't talk to her. He feels guilty for loving her when his brother is in a coma that she put him in. Will Derek find it his heart to forgive Rose? Can she stop her mother from doing more evil before anyone else gets hurt?
Rose has learned that her mother is planning on using her as a sacrifice to help her gain more power. She has also found out that her mother has been hiding things from her. Things like who her real father is and what he is. Who is her father? What is her father? She now knows that Derek's family was not the ones who was attacking them and trying to kill her family.
Rose's heart is breaking because of what she did to Derek's brother and has realized that her mother manipulated her into using her magic against Dean. Her heart is also breaking into tiny little pieces because she thinks she has lost Derek. She thinks he will hate her because of who she is and what she did.
What Rose doesn't know and has no way of knowing is that Derek has a fantastic family with great big hearts. The O'Conner's don't blame her for what happen they know her heart is not like that. She is not evil like her mother. Besides they know her mother and what she is capable of doing. They are not the kind of people to judge anyone. They know that everyone is their own person and just because one person in the family may be bad does not make the other members bad too.
You know I think I liked Seduced by Pain more than the first book Seduced by Innocence. There were more magic and dark creatures. Once I started reading it I did not want to stop. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. I was beside myself wanting to know what was going to happen to Rose and Derek next. I really loved both books and am just dying to read the next book in the Seduced Saga Seduced by Power due to be released this month, March 2013.

Seduced by Power (Book 3)
She was wrong.
Now, the man she loves is trapped in a hell dimension and she will risk everything to save him. But what awaits her in hell is more than she imagined, as deadly secrets from her past come forth to claim her.
Caught between love and duty, between the past and the future, Rose must find the strength to become something more. Her metamorphosis is the only way to save her lover and his clan of Druid Shifters--and the only way to stop an unbeatable new evil from being unleashed into the world.

I received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.
Rose is still trying to find a way to defeat her mother, Rainbow and to take back the rose bush that she stole from Derek's family. Not only does she have to worry with her mother she is also trying to find a way to get Derek's brother Dean's soul back at the same time.
When Rose and Derek are having sex Rose has to feel pain so that she won't send Derek's soul to hell also. But the pain is not enough anymore and she sends Derek's soul to hell as well. Rose's heart is broken over the fact that she has hurt the one that she loves. Rose is a very sweet and loving person and would never do anything to cause harm or hurt to anyone. Unless they are like her mother who does evil things to human beings then she will do what she has to, to stop them from hurting others. So now Rose has to find a way to save them all. Can she or will she be able to do what is necessary to save them? Is her heart that good?
While trying to save Derek and Dean Rose meets her farther and finds out who his is and also what he is a demon. Rose will have to go to hell herself to save Derek and Dean. She meets a demon in hell who helps her get their souls back. But she has to make a choice that could mean she will loose her life. Is she strong enough of a person to make this choice?
The demon Blake has fallen in love with Rose and although he is a demon he helps Rose knowing how she feels about him and also knowing that he can never be with her. In the beginning I really didn't care much for the demon Blake as with most demons he was out to help only himself but in the end he turned out to have a very good heart.
I have truly enjoyed reading all three of the Seduced Saga books. If asked which one I liked the best I could not say as I loved them all. And I highly recommend that you read all five books but I do suggest that you start with book #1 Seduced by Innocents and then book #2 Seduced by Pain. I cannot wait to read the next two books in the series Seduced by Lies book #4 and Seduced by Darkness #5.

Rose and Derek are back and just as in love with each other as they have ever been if not more. Their love for one another has grown so much that they can't stand to be apart. If they could they would be together all the time. But of course that is not possible with the new school that they are running with the help of some of my favorite characters from the Forbidden Trilogy, Drake and Sam. Rose, Derek, Drake and Sam are all teaching kids that have paranormal powers. They are teaching them how to control them and how to use them. This new school of theirs is a lot different than the one that Sam lived and grew up in. All of the kids at this school are all there because they want to be. They are not against their will like Sam and her friends Lucy and Luke. The new school would not be possible without the help of Father Patrick the priest who owns the propriety the school is on. Drake and Sam have a beautiful little girl Ana whom they both love very much.
Everybody is so happy with their lives and the school until they find out that someone is killing kids with special powers. They all work so hard in trying to find out who is killing the kids with paranormal powers. They find evidence that shows that it is a wolf that is attacking the kids and killing them or that is what it looks like but what they are seeing may not be exactly what they think it is. But never fear the church is sending in help. They send a pope to help them investigate and find the killer.
I have read a lot of books written by this husband and wife duo and not a one of them has disappointed me. I have loved each and every one of them. I love all the characters in The Seduced Saga and The Forbidden Trilogy and was so thrilled to see Derek, Rose, Drake and Sam all together in Seduced by Lies. I was also glad that the twins Lucy and Luke make an appearance too.
If you love reading paranormal or about people with special powers then I know you will love The Seduced Saga and The Forbidden Trilogy as well. But I do recommend that you start with the first book in each series so that will you know what is going on and why they have all ended up where they are today and together. The authors do a fantastic job of explaining who the characters are and giving you their background stories from the other books at the beginning. You will get know and understand Derek and Rose better if you read Seduced by Innocence book #1, Seduced by Pain book #2 and Seduced by Power book #3 before reading Seduced by Lies book #4. The same goes for Sam and Drake if you read their stories in Forbidden Mind book #1, Forbidden Fire book #2 and Forbidden Life book #3.

Seduced by Darkness (Book 5)
But that's nothing compared to the changes he's experiencing as a Nephilim--a being part human and part angel with a lust for blood.
He'll do anything to protect his wife and child from whatever darkness is hunting them... but can he protect them from the new darkness growing within?

Rose and Derek are back with us still fighting for all the things they believe in. They are just as much in love or more than they ever have been. They are still teaching at their school Elysium where they try to help and teach kids that have para powers as well. They each have different things/subjects that they teach the kids besides helping them to learn how to use, control and maybe understand their powers. Drake and Sam from The Forbidden Trilogy along with their little girl Ana are still with us as well. Drake and Sam are still helping out with the kids at Elysium.
Rose and Derek have their own personal problems that they have to deal with that is just between the two of them while at the same time someone is still killing people, adults and kids/teens that have any kind of para powers. No one knows who is trying to kill all these people and them too. Along with the personal issue between the two of them; they also have to deal with their own separate personal problems. Rose is having trouble shifting so she asks Talon to teach her how to control her shifting.
Drake and Sam are having problems with their own new abilities as well. Like everyone else they are trying to find whoever it is that is killing anyone with para powers. Plus the Nightfall Queen is looking for them because they disobeyed one of her rules and now they must answer to her. They have to go before her so that she can judge them and decided if or what their punishment may be. Drake and Sam are also worried about Ana and her powers and how strong they are for someone so young and the wrong person finding out.
I have really and truly loved reading both The Seduced Saga and The Forbidden Trilogy. As I have said before I loved each and every one of the characters in both series and was so glad to see Sam and Drake from The Forbidden Trilogy join Derek and Rose in The Seduced Saga. I am sad to see The Seduced Saga and The Forbidden Trilogy end. I am going to miss all the characters especially Rose, Derek, Drake, Sam, Ana, Luke, Lucy, Ocean, Father Patrick, Toby and everyone else.
Have you read The Seduced Saga or The Forbidden Trilogy? If you have not then I would like to recommend that you do and soon if you like paranormal. You will be taken on the best ride of your life and one that you will not regret or forget for a long, long time. This writing duo is one of my favorite writing teams and I have loved each and every book by them that I have read. This is another writing duo that I cannot read enough of their work and want to read everything they write. I am sitting on pins and needles just waiting to see what they come up with next. Thanks KK for writing such great stories and giving us the opportunity to read them.
