**May contain spoilers**Like its prequel, Kimberly Kinrade associates 'Seduced by Pain' with one of Shakespeare's greatest love stories; this time it is 'A Midsummer's Nights Dream'. Each chapter begins with a quote from the play and is named after a section from that quote, indicating the action of the story. I appreciate this homage by Kimberly Kinrade, to Shakespeare, who I believe wrote some of the world's most beautiful stories, and I am interested to find out which play she will be using for her third book.'Seduced by Pain' begins where 'Seduced by Innocence' ended; the demon has been released and is intent on finding Rose. However, Rose is missing Derek, despite knowing his heritage, and she is doubting her mother even more. After receiving a vision from his brother Derek decides to free Rose from the coven and help her discover more about her powers; he finds a small community of paranormals who may be able to help.In this sequel Rose and Derek find the secret to unlocking their sexual relationship and the reader sees them united together: emotionally, physically and against the witches coven.Kimberly Kinrade lulls the reader into a sense of safety and security within the story and then builds into the battle crescendo when Rose's life is thrown into chaos again. I enjoy the way in which the pace changes but the story is still as absorbing and exciting. I am anticipating the sequel!This was given to me as a review copy, but had no influence on my opinion.
