This is the last installment for the Seduced Saga - Rose's Story. I have read each installment as it has been released and this is the best yet. I read it in one night because I just couldn't put it down. The roller coaster ride started with a plunge down the steepest part of the ride, then flashed back and started where the previous story left off. This trilogy has allowed us to watch Rose grow as a person and find her strength. She has always had the power to overcome, but this story really takes her through the ringer to find that inner strength. I have watched the characters develop and I'm now vested and want to know what happens to each of them: Ocean, demon Blake, Jasmine, the twins... I see many spin off stories in Kimberly's future.**SPOILER ALERT** If you haven't read book 1 and 2 **SPOILER ALERT**.This installment takes us back to where Rose's mother has just stolen the roses from Derek's family. Rose has been welcomed to the family of Druids as Derek's fiance, but she is still struggling with the fact that she is to blame for the situation with Derek's brother Dean. Derek and Rose are using pain to control her power so they can be together, but with the loss of the roses, Derek and the rest of the shifter druids are slowly loosing their powers. The situation is dyer and tensions are running high. Rainbow must be found, the Rose bushes returned, and Rose must find a way to control her powers and return Dean to his body.As Rose struggles to accept who she is, events happen and she is forced to confront her father and mother. Will Rose be able to run the gauntlet and go to hell and back to save Derek and his family? Will Derek be able to find his strength of will to become the leader his father always knew he could be? Can they both fight for what they love and save everyone?I totally enjoyed this part of Rose's story. By the end I was even rooting for Blake. Kimberly has done a wonderful job of developing the characters and connecting 3 self contained stories, while sharing an overall combined story. The vividness of the situations pulls me in and doesn't let me go until the conclusion.The Seduced Saga is a must read for anyone who enjoys paranormal romance.
