From the author's website:
Half-human and half-wyr, Pia Giovanni spent her life keeping a low profile among the wyrkind and avoiding the continuing conflict between them and their Dark Fae enemies. But after being blackmailed into stealing a coin from the hoard of a dragon, Pia finds herself targeted by one of the most powerful–and passionate—of the Elder Races.
As the most feared and respected of the wyrkind, Dragos Cuelebre cannot believe someone had the audacity to steal from him, much less succeed. And when he catches the thief, Dragos spares her life, claiming her as his own to further explore the desire they’ve ignited in one another.
Quickie Review:
Pia Giovanni is in trouble and she knows it. Under duress, she's just stolen from the most powerful dragon on the planet, and he's going to come searching from her. She knows her life is pretty much over, it's just a matter of when and how.
Dragos Cuelebre is outraged - he cannot believe someone found his treasure, let alone was able to steal from it! He's got a few clues, and he plans to find this thief - not only because he wants to know how she did it, but because he can't get her scent out of his thoughts.
My Quick Thoughts:
OMG - this was such a fun, sexy read!! Dragos is such a fabulous Alpha male - very "You're mine, I must protect you", and Pia is an independent woman - very "Don't tell me what to do, I can take care of myself". Together they make sparks fly.
Dragon Bound is about more than sexy dragon time though - we learn that the people behind Pia's initial foray into Dragos' treasure lair are quite unsavory and will do anything to cripple Dragos and his empire, and aren't afraid to use Pia and her special talents to achieve their goals. Pia also has a secret that she's been hiding her whole life, and when she finally shares her secret with Drago - Oh, it was a pretty sweet secret :)
In addition to a fabulous hero and heroine, Ms. Harrison's secondary characters were interesting and I want to read more about them. I'm super-excited about the next book - Storm's Heart - which will center around Dragos' vivacious head of PR, Tricks, and one of his bodyguards, Tiago.
My Rating:
I am still sad that I did not fall like the rest of you guys, everyone else just loves it to pieces
ReplyDeleteI liked the book, not loved it. There were some silly things in it, I just couldn't believe were happening. But I do look forward to the next, and I believe this author will get better. It was her debut after all.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this book. I had to roll my eyes once or twice though. But yeah NOM. I'm excited about the next book

Danielle: Yes, I'll be hunting the bookstore on release day!
Julie: I can't wait either - that snippet at the end wasn't enough.
After all of the awesome reviews on this book (and this can now be added to that list) I bought the book and it is now sitting on my bookshelf calling me name (along with about 100 other books, but that's beside the point). I really need to pick this one up and get to reading it! :-D
ReplyDeleteI keep hearing such fabulous things about this book! I bought it already, now I need to read it!
