Matthew ekes out the win…

Looks like Mercy‘s dom, Matthew, wins by a close result of 35 to 27. Actually, I’m almost inclined to call it a tie. 🙂

I love both Matthew and Jeremy very much, so the close results don’t surprise me. I am a little nervous because my next two books in line for release, Lily Mine and The Edge of the Earth, are much less BDSM books and much more alpha-male books.They both had characters and stories that didn’t lend themselves to the traditional BDSM dom/sub set up.

But the guys are still emotionally complex, sexually demanding, and extremely toppy–there’s definite power exchange. Just not the usual BDSM trappings. So maybe my readers will like them just the same. I hope so.

Jeremy and Matthew will always have a place in my heart, though, and I hope I can keep writing doms (or alpha-male-heroes) that affect readers just as much as they have. Thanks again everyone for voting and playing along in my “Battle of the Doms”!
