She tends to write men in her series (possibly excluding the titles with Game in them) who psychically, chemical/hormonally or emotionally are so dependent on finding the right woman to save their sanity or soul, that they turn themselves inside out to please her once they've captured her. One of my favorites is Jackson in the Drake Sisters books.
Another example of this kind of tie would be Lora Leigh's Breeds, where DNA level changes occur in the non-breed partner due to what I think is a virus in the saliva and semen of the Breed. The tie on the Breed's side is emotional before it is physical, the glands producing the 'infected' fluids only surface after the 'mate' is found. The most recent example is Styx in Styx's Storm.
I admire both Feehan and Leigh for the ability to keep a series fresh after more than 20 books.


I do love how steadfast Feehan's heroes are. They might be dominating, but you know how much they love/adore their heroines.

I also like that Feehan and Leigh write strong personalities, both men and women, who end up revealing their weaknesses and insecurities to their loved ones. They are strong enough to open up and risk rejection.


Of course, there are so many, many others.

I need to read that, it's been under my night table for months and months.





“I will find you," he whispered in my ear. "I promise. If I must endure two hundred years of purgatory, two hundred years without you - then that is my punishment, which I have earned for my crimes. For I have lied, and killed, and stolen; betrayed and broken trust. But there is the one thing that shall lie in the balance. When I shall stand before God, I shall have one thing to say, to weigh against the rest."
His voice dropped, nearly to a whisper, and his arms tightened around me.
Lord, ye gave me a rare woman, and God! I loved her well.�
It also has to be said that Claire went back and slept with Frank, her husband.
He is still one of the best book heroes I have ever read.

I second this!! I discover so many books come now with billionaire theme. I don't know if they will top Roarke.

I agree. I love Jamie and Outlander is my favorite series. Technically though he did cheat but like you said so did Claire.

Of course, there are so many, many others."
He was who popped into my head too. All the alphas from Nalini Singh's Psy changeling series to come to mind
