What's there to Love about Vampires?

They are the epitome of dark and dangerous, and yet vampires continue to fascinate us with their 'come hither' ways. Even elements of evil cannot pull us from our desires to be called closer.

His breath against your neck, strong arms to hold you, powerful eyes to command you; these are what a female would notice when a male vampire takes her in his embrace. Why then does she submit?

Tell me there isn't a small part that want a powerful man in our lives? Someone confident and passionate. A man we feel safe and in danger with at the same time. For him, we are the 'one'.

TASTING CAMILLA

Camilla Ivanov never imagined that being kidnapped by a group of vampires would lead to the most erotic encounter of her life. Vladislas is a vampire master, bored with existence until Camilla’s blood awakens his deepest hungers. Locked together in a basement, who will be declared the true captive?

Let's not forget the female vampires. Those seductive and alluring mistresses of pleasure that beckon males to their arms.

She chooses her prey wisely; a strong mortal man who can enjoy the ways she plays. He mustn't be afraid and if he inspires a little fear in her then perhaps she'll keep him as a mate. Power comes in many forms and being mortal doesn't make you weak to a vampire. It makes you special.

CRAVING ELISA

Vampire bounty hunter, Brandt Grayson, just betrayed his best friend, Camilla, to vampires to save her life. Vampiress, Elisa offers herself to Brandt in gratitude for awakening her master, Vladislas, with Camilla's blood. Can vampire hunter Brandt resist Elisa's decadent offer of gratitude, or will Brandt take much more from her than her body?

CRAFTING THE PARANORMAL HEROINE

1)      She must be strong. The heroine of a paranormal romance must have both inner and outer strength. She can't cower when problems arise, but must confront fears with the attitude that nothing will defeat her. She may possess her own paranormal abilities or characteristics, such as fangs, fur, or claws, but she should be judicious in her violence. In Tasting Camilla, the secondary heroine Elise is a female vampire who isn't afraid to confront a vampire hunter in his own home. Moreover, she desires him sexually and shows him just how much when she gets him alone. Poor man dropped his beer because of her. Haha

2)      She must be wise. She must see beyond the hero's surliness and distinguish the weaknesses he's trying to protect. Every male has weaknesses, and it's up to a woman not to take advantage of these weaknesses but to support the man in learning to strengthen these short comings.

3)      She must be a loving person. Sometimes a heroine's heart needs to be opened like a flower blossoming after a rainstorm, and other times she's damaged and must learn to trust again. Either way, her ability to love must be unquestionable, even if at the time she's unattainable. In the novella, Love's Demon Ways, Alexine has a broken heart but Ren recognizes that she's a woman with great potential to love the right man.  Even if that man happens to be half sex demon.

4)      She must accept change. No one particularly likes change because it interrupts the rhythm we set for our lives, but a paranormal heroine knows her like can't stay the same. Heroine, Linea Kamiya of Dhampir Passions, knew that her transition into a vampire would be life altering, but in order to move to the future she accepted this change. Nothing in life stays the same, but nothing is more annoying than a heroine afraid of moving forward and living.

There are the basics of writing great paranormal heroines. Notice anything? Yes, these are all characteristics that we as women need in our own lives. Does this mean to we'd make a good mate to a paranormal hero? Well, I don't mind a man nibbling on my neck a little. How about you? *wink*

What other characteristics do you love in a paranormal heroine?
