Today on Larissa & Friends' Bookish Life, we have Stacey Kennedy. She’s an urban fantasy lover at
heart, but she also enjoys losing herself in dark and sensual worlds. She lives
in southwestern Ontario with her husband, who gave her a happily-ever-after.
Together, they have two small children who can always make her smile, and who
will never be allowed to read Mommy’s books. If she’s not plugging away at a
new story, you’ll find her camping, curling up with the latest flick, or
obsessing over Sons of Anarchy and Game of Thrones.
In her newest release, WEREWOLVES BE DAMNED, we are
introduced to guardian, Kyden, and guardian/witch, Nexi. Today we had the
chance to sit down and ask them some juicy questions.
Now, let’s turn the spotlight onto Nexi!
What’s your favorite
thing about Kyden?
Have you seen his body? Doesn’t that say it all? Okay,
honestly, though, my favorite thing about Kyden is he’s got a sweet side buried
beneath all those muscles. He plays tough most the time, but deep down, he’s my
big softy.
How did you meet?
Our first introduction wasn’t a memory I like to visit often.
Kyden had come with my birth father, Drake, to save me from werewolves who attacked
my family and I. After that, Kyden kept having to chase me while I sought
revenge for the death of my parents. It’s not my most proud moment, but craving
revenge makes you do crazy things!
What do you most love
about Kyden?
I’m not sure I could list everything I love about him, or
even explain how and why I care for him. It just clicked with Kyden. He’s
accepting and tolerant of me, when maybe others wouldn’t be. He’s all the
things I’m not: logical, patient, and cautious. I’m a bit reckless, tend to
have an attitude, and can get myself into dangerous moments. But yeah, that’s
what I love about Kyden, he levels me out.
Do you ever feel like
Kyden tries to control you?
Yes, of course, he does. He’s a guardian and that comes with
territory. Plus, we live in a dangerous world where supernaturals want to kill
us. He can be protective, which turns him into a chest-beating caveman. I’m
sure you’re not surprised to hear I don’t like when he gets like that.
How do you feel about
marriage?
Well, marriage is something that’s a bit different now. In
the Otherworld, mates go through a magical ceremony to declare their bond to
each other. I’m not sure of all the ins-and-outs right now, but I learned from
my family how wonderful a good marriage could be. So, yeah, I’m a sucker for
gushy love.
What is Kyden’s
sexiest physical attribute?
Trick question, right? No?
Well then, I’d have to say, all his attributes are damn sexy!
~*~
Okay, Kyden, don’t give us that grumpy look, and don’t make
this like pulling teeth either. It’s your turn!
When’s the first time
you realized you were attracted to Nexi?
The moment she opened her mouth and told me off. What can I
say—I love a spitfire.
How would you
describe the perfect date?
Having Nexi in my bed.
What do you dislike
the most about Nexi?
The things that drive me mad about Nexi are also the things
I love about her. She’s confident, eager, strong, and independent. Yes, these
are all traits that I adore in her, but it’s also the traits that get her into trouble.
Are children in your
future?
Not sure, but I’m more than willing to practice for when we
decide to make that decision.
What has changed
about Nexi since you first met?
A lot. Revenge can do interesting things to a guardian, who
is at war with herself. She dealt with guilt and grief. Her family had been
murdered, and she was thrust into a supernatural world she didn’t know existed.
It’s my hope Nexi’s life will soon settle again, become easier, and maybe a
little more peaceful.
What’s in store for
the future?
Knowing how things have been so far since Nexi has returned
to the Otherworld, I suspect things are about to get far more dangerous than I’d
want.
Wow! We actually got some answers out of Kyden. Impressive!
Thank you to Larissa for sitting down to chat with Nexi & Kyden. It’s been
a blast!
