A theme I have noticed in a lot of the books I have been reading lately is the development of strong alpha female characters.\u00a0 There aren’t as many stories that focus on the female character being the damsel in distress. There are a lot of female ass-kicking characters now then there ever were.\u00a0 But, that being said there are quite a few book series that feature very overly Alpha male characters.\u00a0 You are hard pressed to find many series that balance the two well.\u00a0 A series in which both are Alphas and work well together.<\/p>\n

Female characters such as Anita Blake, Charley Davidson and Mackayla Lane, to name a few, all have very similar character requirements.\u00a0 They are tough, witty, strong both of character and physically and yet still very feminine.\u00a0 They are exquisite examples of Girl Power.<\/p>\n

Anita Blake, of Laurell K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake Series,\u00a0 is also known as the vampire hunter.\u00a0 Her series revolves around her but also include a male counterpart, Jean Claude.\u00a0 The stories illustrate her strengths, weaknesses and her ability to over come them herself not relying souly on Jean Claude to bail her out. The story between her and Jean Claude also does not lead to them automatically jumping into bed.\u00a0 She sticks to her guns even though there is definite chemistry there.\u00a0 She is not the shrinking violet or damsel in distress.\u00a0 In a fight you wouldn’t mind having Anita Blake at your back.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Charley Davidson, of Darynda Jones’ Charley Davidson Series, is also known as the Grim Reaper.\u00a0 She is a part-time private detective who can communicate with the dead because she is the light that spirits must go into.\u00a0 She is one of the funniest characters I’ve read in a long time.\u00a0 She also has a male counterpart in Reyes.\u00a0 Now, she and Reyes have had hot, sweaty sex but she still keeps her wits about her and still questions the Son of Satan’s\u00a0 (Reyes) motives.\u00a0 Charley is definitely headstrong and no non-sense but very relatable.<\/p>\n

Mackayla Lane, from Karen Marie Moning’s Fever Series, is our most human of the three female characters I chose.\u00a0 She does have special powers but it’s not really something most people would want to have.\u00a0 She can see the Fae without their glamour.\u00a0 Which means all the awful and ugly facades come crashing at her.\u00a0 The only reason she learns of these powers is because she leaves her very isolated Georgia home town to Dublin where the Fae are very prominent.\u00a0 It is here she meets one of the best Alpha males that has been written, Jerricho Barrons.\u00a0 Mackayla isn’t always the strong character she develops into.\u00a0 It is her situation, determination and Barrons incessant bullying and pestering that drives her be become what she needs to be.<\/p>\n

Since we have covered the female characters we must give props to some of the very strong male characters out there. But, I find that many of the male characters are parts of groups. The Black Dagger Brotherhood and the Lords of the Underworld are some of the strongest male characters that are currently placed on the bookshelves.\u00a0 They know how to be both sensitive and totally take someone out for messing with their mates.\u00a0 These men are all Alpha males even though there are leaders in both groups.<\/p>\n

J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood contains ALL strong characters.\u00a0 Each one of them must overcome obstacles from Vishous and his need for pain, Rhage and his inner monster, Zsadist and his tormented past and John Matthew and his human past to name only a few.\u00a0 But, with overcoming these problems whether physical or mental allow for them to grow as characters and still kick ass and show the Lessers who is boss.\u00a0 These males take care of theirs and no one better ever threaten what is theirs or face the dire consequences.<\/p>\n

Gena Showalter’s the Lords of the Underworld are a bit more complicated considering most of them are\"\"<\/a> two entities.\u00a0 One half is the man and the other half is the demon they house.\u00a0 These Lords face similar issues like that of the Brotherhood except they are constantly fighting themselves. Most of the Lords must do things like consistently lie, win every challenge or cut themselves or they are in immense pain.\u00a0 These cursed men fight those who are trying to destroy them while still protecting their mates.\u00a0 These men, like the BDB, are strong-willed Alpha males.<\/p>\n

I have covered both strong female and male characters.\u00a0 There are only a few series’ that offer partnerships that allow for both to be Alphas or dominant.\u00a0 Cat and Bones from Jeaniene Frost’s Nighthuntress series and Elena and Raphael from Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunter Series are \"\"<\/a>two that stick out to me.\u00a0 Both of these strong couples support yet protect each other.\u00a0 Both allow for dominance and strength in each other while accomplishing their goals.\u00a0 This type of relationship is rarely seen in novels.\u00a0 I believe it’s probably just very difficult to write.\u00a0 It is much easier to have one central character be the dominant.<\/p>\n

All this being said, I still am at a loss to which I prefer.\u00a0 Whether I like the strong, witty, fun female protagonist or the domineering, overly protective\/sensitive male protagonist, I am unsure.\u00a0 But, if those two get together I know they most likely will have fireworks and really sexy love scenes.\u00a0 And, who doesn’t like a good sex scene?<\/p>\n

What do you prefer, A Female Alpha or a Male Alpha?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
