KB is a very busy girl! She is either working, sailing, hanging with friends,on the computer (twittering -which she introduced me too), reading, or writing or even a little bit of it all at once- lol. I was lucky to spend last weekend with KB in Las Vegas, we had a great time and even played a little dress up :D .
When I first met KB I hadn't read any of her books, I quickly changed that and read Bound by Sunlight. This isn't a book I would normally read as I am not a huge magic fan BUT I am very happy I did cause I LOVED it! Her characters were wonderful and the story line was easy to follow and I got a happy ending. (Now I want more!)
I have loved getting to know her and doing this interview was great fun. KB has some amazing giveaways in store for you too! So, let's get on to the interview ...
Kyriana Price has spent nearly a year trapped at her evil day job. And she does mean evil. Her boss is a mage bent on power who lets nothing stand in the way of his quest to gain more. When she sees Connul Graysn wielding a flogger at a BDSM club, she formulates an escape that will require his considerable skills—as a mage and as a Dom. Going to another mage for help might not be the best plan, but it’s the only one she’s got, and at this point, she’s willing to try just about anything.The last thing Connul expects when he finds an intruder in his house is that he’ll soon have her chained in his bedroom, her lovely body marked by his paddle. But she’s begging for his help—how can a gentleman refuse? As they learn to trust each other, he begins to realize the only thing he’s not willing to do for Kyriana is let her go.

Dawn - What makes the “Perfect Man” for you?
KB - Someone who listens and pays attention. And, you know, is hot. But really, I think a guy who puts you and your needs at the top of his priority list, who knows your likes and dislikes because he cares enough to pay attention, is definitely a winner.
Dawn - Which of your heroes do you have a particular soft spot for?
KB - Ooh, that’s hard, I do love them all. I think I will always have an extra special soft spot for Caleb, though. He’s one of two heroes from my first book, Perfect Formation. A confident, alpha male who finds himself in love with two best friends - Richard and Taryn - and has to figure out how to convince them that the three of them together is exactly what they all need. Lucky for him, the friends don’t mind when he pulls out the restraints to get his point across!

Dawn - Talk to us about Connul. What’s his story?
KB - Connul is a mage, with a great deal of power. He’s also a Dom. Can you say alpha male? As a good Dom and careful, responsible mage, though, he’s very conscious of his power. So when he walks into his private, secure home study and finds an unknown woman sitting in his chair, wearing her pyjamas (and not even the sexy kind!), his instincts to protect his home over those to protect a seemingly vulnerable woman clash. Is it a surprise to anyone that he’s soon pulling out the restraints to deal with the situation?!

Dawn - The romance genre has been getting a bad press of late (Not by us! We love it :D) Why did you choose to write in your genre?
KB - There was never really any question, for me. While I read across a wide range of genres, I always come back to romance. In romance I can get the mystery, the suspense, the comedy, the super sexy - whatever I want, all with a guaranteed happily ever after. A hot hero and an enjoyable heroine just add to the pleasure. I’ve never been embarrassed to say I write romance, although I am sometimes a bit circumspect about the erotic part, depending on who I’m talking to!

Dawn - Do you have anything new in the works for us?
KB - I’ve finished a Valentine’s Day story that I really like. I wanted to see what it would be like to write a holiday specific story, so of course I tried Valentine’s Day first! I found that the spirit of the holiday grabbed hold of me, and the book is definitely a sweeter story than my others. Although still erotic, of course, lol. Hopefully you’ll be seeing that release in February. I’m also working on a contemporary with ménage, and another werewolf story (set in the same world as my second book, Alpha Turned).
