Seduced by Power is the coup de grce to the Seduced trilogy. War wagged between two paranormal households with one naughty romance in the mix; This new adult action paranormal romance was elfin alluring series involving shape-shifters, witches/warlocks/druids, demons, and magic.One factor I really enjoyed was the Shakespearean references.  It was paralleled perfectly with each segment. Seduced by Innocence pay homage to Romeo & Juliet while introducing the fueding families and blossoming forbidden love. Seduced by Pain brought the conflict, the drama, and the romantic competition with reverence to A Midsummer Night's Dream. This one had a sexy Macbeth theme ...if our classic hero liked spankings! Similar to book one and two, there was a nice amount of steamy scenes in conjunction with the classic lit chapter headings.One major complaint for me was the romantic placement in the beginning.  It didn't flow as effortlessly as before.  Rose and Derek were at their wits ends in their mission to restore the power and safety of the roses  and defeat the evil Rainbow before time ran out for the O'Conner clan and they took a time-out for "R&R;".  I won't go into detail but you get my drift.Aside from that ill placed intermission, I was not disappointed by the ending at all.  From love to a broken heart and a grudged remembered I'm now on board with Kimberly Kinrade's work. I'm anticipating the side stories and hidden chapter additions on the horizon.
