Book Review of Seduced by Power

Giveaway and Book Review of 
            Seduced by Power
                   Sponsored by Innovative Book Tours


Welcome to Books, Books, and More Books.  I am pleased to share my review of this book with you.  Thank you for visiting and please come again.


Blurb : 

Forbidden Passions.
Deadly secrets.
A love that will stand against it all.

Liquid fire poured into me, filling me with the intimate sense of him as he leaned in to claim my lips with his own. I reached for him, needing him closer, needing to feel his flesh against mine, but my arms couldn't close the distance between us, which grew wider with each hitched breath. So close to finally feeling something real, something carnal and deep, I cried out in frustration, dropping my hands as he disappeared. My cries deepened into a frenzy of panic and my eyes flew open. I clutched my blanket and stilled myself to calm my racing heart.

Just a dream. Always just a dream.

***

Rose Wintersong didn't have an ordinary upbringing. Raised in what most would call a hippy commune, but what is actually a powerful coven of witches, she never questions the life fate chose for her.

Until she meets Derek O'Conner.

Derek challenges everything Rose believes and forces her to see the secrets hidden beneath the whitewashed walls of her idyllic country life.

Rose knows she should walk away, that the sexy martial arts instructor is bad news bred to create discord in her tight community... but the animal magnetism between them is impossible to fight.

Caught between the passion of first love, and the steady beat of the life she's always known, Rose must choose between the innocence of her youth or the pleasures of womanhood--but lost innocence comes at a price, and Rose harbors a dark secret that could destroy everyone she loves--including Derek.

***
New Adult Romance, Paranormal Romance, Urban Fantasy

Recommended for 17+, contains explicit sexual content
**Rose's story is a trilogy, not stand alone books. The first two books have cliffhanger endings. Her complete story in one book is now available as "Seduced", but all three books in the series are available now. If you do not like cliffhanger endings, or do not want to buy all three books to enjoy the complete love story, please consider waiting to purchase until Seduced the omnibus edition is out.**
This note is from the author.  I read them in the wrong order and managed to follow them fine.  However, I do think that they are best as a series.

Look for these books in the Seduced Saga

Seduced Trilogy
Seduced by Pain (Rose's Trilogy, Book 2)\
Their passion will destroy them.
Only true love can save them.

"Hope is a fragile thing, yet strangely enduring. It hides in the crevices of pain, burrowing deep until unseen, for fear that sorrow, in its rage, will devour hope's desperate hold on the heart.

It can live there for years, silent and waiting. Or, it can be slaughtered with a word-- mankind's most powerful weapon.

They say that universes are created with words.

And with words, they are destroyed.

Just as mine has been."


***

In the sequel to Seduced by Innocence, Derek and Rose face even greater threats to their love as Derek fights to protect the core of his family's power while Rose struggles to control her own dark gift.

***
Recommended for 17+ due to explicit sexual content. This is a new adult paranormal romance with erotic content and includes shifters, demons and witches. 

Seduced by Power (Rose's Trilogy, Book 3)
Forbidden passions.
Deadly secrets.
A love that will stand against it all.


In Seduced by Power, the final book in Rose's Trilogy, Rose and Derek face the greatest threat to their love, and lives, as they are forced to make painful choices to save those they love the most.

They give everything they have to end the battle against Rose's mother and retrieve that which was stolen from them. But will it be enough to save them?

Review

            So I know I reviewed them in the wrong order, but I loved this book.  In fact, I think I liked it best.  I felt so sorry for Rose.  I just wanted to be a mom to her, and not like that @$# of a mom she has.  Can’t say anymore, but let’s just say that you might want to reach in and throttle her also…. Or maybe give her a swift Gibbs/DiNozzo smack upside the head.

            I loved how real the main characters were.  They were not perfect, but flawed.  They didn’t have easy lives, but rather struggled just like anyone else (but with magic being an added problem).

            I give this book (and the whole series actually) a 4.5 out of 5 cloudsl
