Intelligent Doms, I swear to god there is nothing sexier. Sure, some hot guy who will tie you up and can use a flogger is great but... A smart guy who can pay attention? Interpret clues? Is dedicated to making every time the best time possible? That's what Lila writes and why I always looks forward to new books in the BDSM Checklist series. They aren't perfect, they have character flaws, but they are generally invested in being great Doms, regardless of their other issues. Dante is no exception.

She also writes great female characters. Women who understand that being submissive does not mean being a doormat or brainless arm candy. Katrina may have concerns about how it will all work out, but she is strong enough to recognize that she needs to at least try, before giving it all up.

Mix it all with frequent, imaginative scenes and I'm sold. These are fiction, so of course there's an aspect of wish fulfillment, but as an example of strong relationship practices, you could aim at worse. As an added bonus, Lila's books are always well edited and I rarely get hung up on typos or grammatically painful sentences, and I'm a very happy camper! ( )
