Seduced by Innocence
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.
Thoughts
Kimberly does an AMAZING job on this one....yes I know I've said that before about her, but I have to admit she is one GIFTED author!
If ever there is a story that will drive you nuts, this is the one.
I have NEVER dis-liked a character as much as I dis-like Rainbow! To tell you the truth Blake isn't far behind.
Those two can go stuff themselves!!!
This story is full of mystery, it keeps you turning the page, until you're at the end and SCREAMING.....Omg did she really end the book there?!?!?!?!?!
Rose is not really my favorite character, mainly because at times I really want to smack her...she's just so naive. Sometimes it was just so hard not to want to push her along....kinda of like Ocean did.
Ocean is the best friend anyone could want. Up beat and there for you....too cool.
Then you have Derek....YUMMY!!!!
He was just a loving and understanding character I would totally spend sometime in a cabin with him!!!
The story on a whole takes you through a lot of misdeeds and some are HORRID...Poor puppies!!!!
You will totally be craving more of Derek and Rose....if the massage scene doesn't get you fully on board, the way Rose stands up to Rainbow sure the heck will!
With this book ending with so many unanswered questions....Will Rainbow and Blake get theirs, will the coven open their FREAKING eyes, and most of all will Rose get her man....
I will be flipping the page of book 2 VERY SOON!!!
