It probably won’t surprise you to learn that as I write each book, I grow VERY attracted to the dominants in each story. I live with them for months, daydream about them, imagine their lives above and beyond what ends up in the story. Each one romances me, surprises me, and sometimes pisses me off!
Even when a book is long released and I’ve moved on to other things, each one of these men stays in my heart. Really, each couple stays in my heart–Matthew and Lucy, Daniel and Wednesday, Jeremy and Nell, Kyle and Caressa and so on. But when you come down to it, it’s the men I’m really attached to, I suppose because I’m a woman.
I noticed something else as I was looking back on my backlist so far. Each of my Doms seems to have a related counterpart. Some are obvious. Jeremy and Kyle go together because their books were related. Same with Dave and Ryan. Matthew and Daniel go together because they’re the first Doms I wrote. The Devil Earl of Cait and the Devil and Lord Ashbourne of the upcoming Lily Mine go together because they’re the only historical Doms I’ve written. Mephisto will have a counterpart in the edgy hero of the book I’m writing now, Cirque du Minuit. (He is tentatively named Theo.) That leaves Firebird‘s Jackson as an outcast. Well, he was a straight male choreographer, after all. Perhaps he will find a like spirit in Will, the linguist in The Edge of the Earth.
At any rate, I thought it would be fun to poll my readers about some of these Dominant dyads. Let’s start with the obvious…now that Caressa’s Knees is out and many of you have read it, which Dominant does it for you the most? Jeremy or Kyle? If you like you can explain your choice in the comments section, or just see how your vote compares to the other readers who respond. Thanks for playing! Tomorrow–Part II!!

Though I love Kyle, I picked Jeremy as the hotter Dom. There was something about Jeremy that really did if for me. He was just so…intense. If I had to choose which one I’d want to live happily ever after with, I’d pick Kyle.
After all this time, after all my rereads, I still can’t choose. Like asking about a favorite child. They both fulfill different needs.
Dianna said it right. It’s not that I didn’t like Kyle, I actually adored him. He just wasn’t a strong Dom like Jeremy. Kyle is still a great character, and I loved his book.
