“Domination in Pink: A Club El Diablo
Book” by Holly S. Roberts will be released on October 18
th.
I had the pleasure of reading the book and I loved, loved, loved it!
The novella is a part of the Club El Diablo series and is seriously
hot! Holly graciously took the time to answer some questions I had
for her about the novella and the series.
Holly, this book was smoking hot!
Damian and Lydia are both powerful Dom/Dommes – you really took a
leap to put them both together in a dominant/submissive relationship.
Did you have inspiration for the couple, or are they total figments
of your beautiful imagination?
I work in a male dominated field
with high testosterone and contempt for any type of weakness. I can
take care of myself and I kick ass daily. Then, I come home to a Dom
who loves me, is not intimidated by my strong personality, and
masters me in the bedroom. Club El Diablo is a figment of my
imagination but Damian and Lydia’s characters have a lot of my own
M/s relationship running throughout their world.
What was the hardest part about writing
“Domination in Pink?”
Most definitely the research though
I loved it. I would hate to think that someone would use my book as
an example of BDSM play during pregnancy and have it cause a problem.
I was told I could drink as much iced tea as I wanted throughout one
of my pregnancies and then two years later told no caffeine. Medical
recommendations change constantly and I did not trust the kink my
husband and I experienced ourselves when writing this book. I
strongly recommend discussing your lifestyle with a qualified doctor
while pregnant and nursing.
There are so many great lines in this
story. My favorite is after Damian tries to soften his words to
Lydia and she tells him “You're getting soft Master but put those
lips to mine and I'll f**k your mouth” Total jaw dropping moment
for me! Is Lydia always this feisty with her Dom, or is this related
to her pregnancy?
Lydia is always feisty and pushing
her Dom, trying to top him, and craving his control. This is what
makes her unique. It was hard for Damian because she was pregnant and
he had to come up with different types of punishments to keep her in
line. The term “ball gag” comes to mind.
When you are writing, do you tend to
put a lot of yourself into the characters?
Yes I do but I also have a vast
imagination. I would love to have a Club El Diablo to play out my
every fantasy. Thank goodness it’s waiting for me in my stories.
The birthing scene is incredible! Did
your own personal experiences with child birth help when writing this
part?
The funniest thing on earth is a
dominant man at his child’s birth. They want to play it cool but it
kills them to have no control. A lot of the birthing scene came from
my own experience and the part where Damian rubbed his hand on
Lydia’s thigh is a great example.
When you are writing, do you have any
rituals? Any specific music that you listen to while you write?
First, I always read the previous
chapters I worked on, edit them, and then go from there. It puts me
back into the grove of the story. I MUST listen to music when I write
but it varies and depends on my mood. I jump from Irish/Scottish
flute, bagpipes, and drums to hard rock. I love Buckcherry!
What projects are you working on now
and are Damian and Lydia involved?
My next book will be out at the
first of the year. It will have a short scene at Club El Diablo but
the rest of the book takes place at a private location. The story
involves a cop, a contemporary Shibari artist, and human trafficking.
It’s a ménage and much more in depth than my previous four Club
novellas. Two Doms for Angel will be a full length novel.
Are you reading any good books right
now?
I’m trying very hard to but it’s
difficult during new book release week (NBRW). I just finished Beyond
Shame by Kit Rocha and loved it. My TBR pile is filling up my
eReader. Oh and I have a sneak peek at yours but I’m not telling
anyone, promise.
For all your followers out there, what
can they do to help you make “Domination in Pink” even more
successful?
Please review the book on Amazon,
B&N, and All Romance Ebooks. I take the good reviews with the bad
so don’t let your opinion stop you from commenting. The more
reviews shows that more people are reading.
Thank you Hazel for a wonderful
interview!
