Breaking up is hard to do, especially when your ex-boyfriend decides to keep you around by using blackmail.
Pia Giovanni is in a world of trouble and it’s all because her ex Keith, a wannabe hotshot and gambling addict, blackmails her into stealing from the most powerful man on earth, Dragos. On top of a bruised ego and loneliness, Pia is on the run for her life because Dragos lets no man, or woman, steal from him and get away with it. In fact, in all his life no one has ever stolen from him, because quite honestly who is stupid enough to steal from a dragon? So begins the cat and mouse game as Dragos single-mindedly hunts his thief and Pia just as determinedly strives to never get caught.
When the two finally confront each other, the chemistry sizzles off the page. Pia’s moxie, quick wit, and fierceness despite her fear are a perfect counterpoint to Dragos’ dominating, powerful, and decisive nature. Thea Harrison has created two characters that balance each other well and keep the reader engaged to see who will win the battle of wills. Their interactions are occasionally laugh-out-loud funny and always explosive. We root for Pia for keeping Dragos on his toes and cheer on Dragos for occasionally keeping his aggravatingly domineering nature in check. All in all this is a couple to celebrate.
In addition to a great romance, Harrison builds a wonderful world filled with the atypical supernatural. There are elves, vampyres, and goblins (which we’ve seen before) but she adds to that with gryphons, dragons, and harpies among others. The world of the Elder Races is richly layered and opens the reader to a world that is fresh and exciting but also comfortable without being too familiar.
Thea Harrison has brought a refreshing new series into the world of paranormal romance. So pick your comfy spot and curl up with Dragon Bound for a good mix of romance, mystery, and the magical which makes for a wonderful afternoon of reading.
