Synopsis:

Seduction comes in many forms. 

“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, 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.

Submit to the Seduced Saga as Derek and Rose face their future while unraveling the mysteries of their past.

Review:

I think I’ve said before that I normally don’t go in for paranormal but lately it seems like I’ve been reading several such stories and enjoying them.  I guess it goes to show that if you give anything a chance you never know, you might just like it.  This story is one of forbidden love, much like Romeo and Juliet but with Druids and Witches.  Rose is a sheltered witch with a dark power that she tries to hide as much as she can.  Derek is a druid that decided he wanted to see the world instead of joining the family business.  They meet by chance in a martial arts study and you could say it was love at first sight…or maybe that is second sight on Derek’s part.  They don’t know that they shouldn’t like each other and of course that is always when the trouble starts!

This is a gripping story but I will say it leaves you hanging….but never fear, the story is continued in the second book, Seduced by Pain that came out this month.   I have to know what happens!  I read this book in a day (it isn’t long anyway) and give it 5 paws.
