What a phenomenal trilogy. They bundle so well together and read just as well as a single story as they do as a trilogy. Overall it was a phenomenal read that I hated to see end,and I definitely cannot wait to see more from this series. Here's my insight into the 3 parts of this phenomenal trilogy.
~*~ Seduced by Innocence ~*~
What a phenomenally unique take on witches, weres, and druids. I can honestly say that I’ve never seen them combined in such an intriguing way before. Kinrade also gives her reader a story with heartaches galore, but that somehow has an overall heartwarming effect on the reader, giving you hope. As a whole, I can’t believe how captivating this story was. I couldn’t put the book down.
Kinrade has such a laid back, easy to follow writing style that you can very easily immerse yourself in the story itself. The story is also very well and fluently written. Each section flows into the next without pause. She even manages to flow from one character’s perspective to the next, always in the first person, without as much as a blip in this flow. This story is flawlessly written with enthralling descriptions. I also love how she has woven Romeo & Juliet throughout the story. They are not random quotes thrown out, but rather passages that enrich the storyline.
Although the cast of characters in this novel are supernatural, they are also all real individuals with human emotions and idiosyncrasies. I really appreciate the fact that Kinrade developed such well rounded characters for this novel, and the fact that the development is not just skin deep. Even just within the first installment of the series you get to know what makes the characters tick. This is even apparent in the supporting characters. You may not have their entire histories laid out for you, but you get a very large hint into who they are and why they act the way that they do. She also weaves a very sinister feel around certain characters, while others exude a feeling of warmth, comfort, or goodness. This not only helps the reader get a feel for the characters but puts you on the correct track to figure out the mystery alongside the characters.
Everything that Kinrade puts down on paper aids in the forward progression of the story or in building the characters and setting. She weaves everything together into an amazing climax that leaves you reaching for the next installment in the series.
~*~ Seduced by Pain ~*~
Kinrade definitely threw me for a loop with this one. It was a brilliant loop, but I definitely didn’t expect this turn of events. Not only were there twists and turns galore in this novel, but it kept me even more captivated and enthralled than its predecessor.
I greatly appreciate the fact that Kinrade uses the same writing style and tone in this novel as she did in the first of the series. Being that the first ended in a cliff-hanger and that this one picked up where it left off, this consistency in style allows for an easy flow and transition on the reader’s part. She also works captivating descriptions into this novel that bring everything to life in a very vivid reality. And Holy Hannah, some of it is very inviting and extremely enticing. Because of Kinrade’s way with words things become so real that you literally feel like you are standing in the middle of the scenes, watching the action take place.
Not only is the writing style consistent with that found in Seduced by Innocence, but so are the characters. Kinrade takes the phenomenal characters from her first novel and continues to develop them into even more approachable people. Don’t get me wrong, there is still a very sinister feel to some of the characters, but these characters are more blatantly sinister in this novel. Kinrade also delves deeper into the powers wielded by her characters. This greatly heightens the supernatural aspects of the novel and provides a greater understanding into the plight faced by some of the characters.
As a whole, this was a phenomenal sequel to Seduced by Innocence. It draws you further and further into this world, while still leaving a great deal of mystery to be solved in the final novel of the trilogy. It also leaves you yearning for the sequel (and a couple of the characters themselves....).
~*~ Seduced by Power ~*~
With each and every one of Kinrade’s books that I read I come to love her writing more and more. I couldn’t put this one down. Her writing is so enthralling and captivating that you immerse yourself in the novel and lose all track of time. The book is also so flawlessly written that there is nothing to draw you back to reality. This book becomes your reality for a short while.
I love the consistency between the novels in this series. Kinrade adopts the same writing style and tone within each of the novels. Also, each character’s viewpoint in written in a slightly different fashion, but this remains consistent for each. Her descriptions are phenomenal and tailored to create a specific image and aura. By playing with light and darkness Kinrade not only writes about, but also paints the world that she creates.
The characters themselves are simultaneously consistent and ever changing. They face so many life altering obstacles throughout this novel that they continue to grow as individuals, couples, and as a family while never abandoning their original selves. Their core goals and values are the same but they are better, more mature individuals after their trials. Some of the minor characters become further developed in this novel, while never overpowering the main characters, which is awesome. Also, any of the newly introduced characters are developed to suit a specific purpose with no description, dialogue, or narrative wasted on inconsequential details. That said, not a single one of the characters ever seems underdeveloped for their role in this novel.
Kinrade’s supernatural world expands even further with this instalment in Rose’s trilogy. All of the details are worked into the action keeping up with the fast pace of the story. The reader is never left scrounging for details on the new elements that they encounter nor are they wishing that the story would progress faster because they’re having pointless narrative heaped upon them. Kinrade walks a fine line balancing this to create a phenomenally seamless story. She also manages to wrap up Rose’s trilogy very nicely with this story. Everything comes to a very nice conclusion without rushing or skimming anything. As a reader, however, I’m not ready to leave this brilliant world that she has created. I appreciate the fact that Kinrade ends this trilogy and picks up with another character in the series for future instalments. This avoids stagnation while giving me (and other readers, of course) more of the characters and the world that they have so come to love as well as many more brilliant books to read.
Please note that I received this novel from the author in exchange for an honest review.

SEDUCED BY INNOCENCE
Seduced by innocence is pretty much a paranormal Romeo & Juliet. Rose's family, a coven of witches, is at war with Derek's, a family of shape-shifting druids. Just like Romeo & Juliet, Rose and Derek's love sprouted from their only hate.
I'm not sure if the copy of this I was given is an edited ARC since the book is already released. If it isn't, I'd suggest the author have their current editor go over the work, there's an entire chapter with small errors that while most may miss... I did not.
This book is amazing. The characters are very developed, and the storyline, thus far, has no holes that I was able to find. The story, being told from Rose and Derek's, and occasionally Blake's, point of views, leaves the reader as much in the dark about events as it does the character who's telling the part. There's a lot of emotion of all kinds almost charging the pages of this book, and the way it's told will leave the reader a bit disoriented when it finishes, since their senses will return to the now as they leave the story behind.
This book is NOT for those who dislike cliffhanger endings, this book ends with a cliffhanger that leads the reader into book 2, Seduced by Pain. I am anxious to read book 2.
I give this book 5 of 5 paws
SEDUCED BY PAIN
Seduced by Pain picks up where Seduced by Innocence leaves off. Blake plays a bigger role in this book, though things have definitely changed. Book two delves deeper into Rose's "dark" gift as she seeks a way to control it. There's a lot more adult scenes in this one that are strategically placed so the story flows. This book is also a bit funny then book 1. Ocean proves herself to be quite the comedienne.
All in all, the storyline once again leaves readers with a mild cliffhanger. There's not so much a cliff as a sunny ledge to sprawl out on while waiting to read Seduced by Power, book 3 in the saga. The ending leaves the reader knowing there's book 3 without the growl factor that book 1's cliffhanger left us in.
I give this book 5 of 5 paws
SEDUCED BY POWER
Seduced by Power picks up where Seduced by Pain leaves off. The joy and laughter from book 2 are definitely lacking in book 3. The story has taken a dark turn and other emotions are invoked big time as we draw to the climax of this part of Rose's story. The strength and power of Derek and Rose's love is prevalent in this book, and we learn so much more about Blake as this part of the story comes to a close.
This one absolutely will make the reader reach for a tissue more than once. There's a few twists that come out of nowhere, some are a bit predictable, others not so much. While there is a nice ending, there's still that nice sunny ledge for the reader to sun themself on while waiting to read the next book >~.^<
I can't wait to jump into book 4, Seduced by Lies to see what happens next!

This was an amazing Romeo & Juliet type, star-crossed lovers story that showed just how strong the bond of love is and how much it can endure.
What I thought was going to be another typical YA PNR read soon turned into a very sexy romance when Rose and Derek set the pages alight with their sensual and very steamy game of look but don't touch. It was enough to send me off to have a cold shower, or rather to find a very sexy shifter and a cabin with a hot tub!! I loved the sexual tension that oozed between these two characters. The heat between them sparked right off the bat and never fizzled out. It was explosive throughout and reached new heights when pain became pleasure.
I was enthralled by this story from start to finish. I wanted to scream when my eReader's battery died and I had to wait a few hours before I could go back to devouring the pages. This story is filled with mystery and so many wonderful and creepy characters - from Rose's amazing bestie to her weird, crazy mother - there was never a dull moment.
I was immediately suspicious about the attacks on the coven. For some reason I just had this feeling that Rose's mother couldn't be trusted and as the story unraveled, the more uneasy I became. I had to wonder if the O'Connors were hiding something though. They all seemed pretty great and I didn't believe that they were as terrible as the coven made them out to be, but I still kept a close eye on them. I loved that secrets were revealed slowly, giving the reader just enough information to formulate their own ideas, while still keeping them guessing.
As the story developed the darker it became. I was quite shocked at the lengths Rainbow went to, to gain power. She was despicable, selfish and greedy. My heart broke for Blake, the demon not the man. I wanted to dislike him but he showed so much emotion, that I couldn't help caring for him. He was on a mission but his love and loyalty made him think twice about what he was doing. He was torn between duty and love. If only things could have turned out differently for him. In the end the purity or his evil soul shone through.
Deceit, betrayal, loyalty, bravery, love and acceptance, this book has it all. Kinrade is a masterful storyteller. I really loved the Shakespeare references and how they tied into the chapter headings. It was a wonderful touch. I also loved that this trilogy ties in with The Forbidden Trilogy, bringing back some of my favorite characters.
This story will capture your imagination and, like the all-consuming love shared between Rose and Derek, once you've had a taste of it, you'll keep coming back for more.

i've had the first book to this series on my kindle for a few months but only just got round to reading it, but i'm glad i did. As soon as i had finished the first one i brought the whole series, i jut had to know what happened next. would recommend to anyone wanting a paranormal series with lots of hot action between the sheets for a quick read.
February 5, 2014
I was able to snag the first book when Amazon let me read it free on my Kindle. I was instantly hooked. The writing is wonderful, the details make you really feel as though you are going through the ups and downs with the characters and the romance is unmatched. A great read. I will definitely look forward to reading the sequel.

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 is 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.
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.
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 he 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 that helps her get their souls back. But she has to make a choice that could mean she will lose her life. Is she strong enough of a person to make this choice?
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 three but I do suggest that you start with book #1 Seduced by Innocents and then book #2 Seduced by Pain.

I loved this series by Kimberly Kinrade and Dmytry Karpov. I have now read this series twice and it is even better the second time. This is the first three books of the Seduced Saga combined into one volume. The storyline and characters grab a hold of you from the beginning and don't let go. If you have read their work before you know this is true for all of their novels. This series follows Rose and Derek as they fall in love while trying to save the lives of those closest to them from an evil much too close to home. The characters also cross paths with characters from their Forbidden Trilogy, but you don't have to read one before the other. I highly recommend reading them both. So curl up in your favorite spot and settle in for a great read.

Love, love, love the compilation of Rose's Story! Even though I read each book (1-3)separately, I really liked that I could read them continuously! Made it so much easier to remember why I loved it! Great read for sure!

These were absolutely amazing books that I had trouble putting down. The characters were well developed and very believable.

New twist
This book was a new twist on an old classic. I really liked all the Shakespeare quotes on each of the chapters.
