I received a complimentary copy of this book as a part of a book tour in exchange for a fair and honest review.  I rated the book 4.5 Stars:Beginning shortly after the events which took place at the end of the first book, Seduced by Pain continues the saga of the Romeo and Juliet like romance between a powerful, somewhat out of control witch and the shapeshifter/druid who loves her.  A little darker in tone, the stakes are higher now that Rose and Derek have to repair their romance while trying to resolve several power struggles at the same time.  Continuing her world building and further developing her characters, Ms. Kinrade easily drew me back into her tale.At the beginning of this story, Rose finds herself still on the outs with her coven.  Having just survived a small battle with her mother, Rose has several issues she must face on her own.  She still doesn't understand the extent of her powers, has self esteem issues she needs to resolve and finds herself temporarily separated from Derek, the man she loves.Heartbroken over his discovery of the part Rose played in his brother Dean's situation, Derek is determined to stand by his family.  Refusing to return Rose's calls, Derek knows he still loves her.  He just needs to help her figure out how to control her dark powers.While Rose and Derek are temporarily apart, Ms. Kinrade introduces us to a few new characters.  Rose and her best friend Ocean, are determined to discover what's really going on inside the coven and just what Rainbow, Rose's mother, is trying to do.  Rose also has to deal with Blake, a person she's never liked, who suddenly isn't behaving he was in the past.  Blake's sudden change also attracts the attention of Ocean, who wants to know why he's suddenly acting like a hottie!Soon Rose and Derek realize they'll have to forget and forgive the mistakes in their past to discover the answers they seek.  It's only their love and the hope for a future together that will give them the answers and power they seek.Will Rose and Derek's love be enough to get them through their problems?  Will Rose be able to uncover all of the secrets involving her mother and learn to control her powers?  You'll have to read Seduced by Pain to find out.  I can't wait to see what happens next.
