Genre: Paranormal romance
Pages: 312
Published: May 3rd 2011 Berkley
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 each other. Pia knows she must repay Dragos for her trespass, but refuses to become his slave - although she cannot deny wanting him, body and soul.

My thoughts:
This is the start to a new paranormal series with mythical beings who walk the world side by side with humans.
The main character is Pia who is hired (well blackmailed) to steal something. She knows it's stupid but she does it anyway . So she is sure brave. I liked her because all she wanted was to keep her secrets. She is also halfwyr and I did figure out what she really was before it was told. Trust me, you will be amused in the end. Then we got Dragos, a powerful man and a more powerful wyr. He is a dragon, rich and yes of course he is a hunk too and a total alpha. I do not say no to that. And sparks fly between these two.
About the world then. It was an interesting world where humans thought they were alone but then the wyr and others came forward and now they live side by side. The wyr are beings who can transform into animals, well it's more like they are the animals and transformed into humans. There are different kinds and Dragos, well he has been around since the universe was created. Gotta love an older guy.
This book is a romance after all and things to heat up between these two. He sees her and wants her. So lots of passion promised.
And of course adventure. I can't say any more, but I did like that part.

This book has gotten a lot of great reviews, and sure it was good. But I do confess that I did not fall as deeply as the rest of the blogging world did. Though I still enjoyed it, don't get me wrong. It was a nice paranormal romance.

ReplyDeleteAn alpha male to drool over? And you didn't exactly fell for it? I must reconsider...
ReplyDeletehmm, I like the idea of dragons but I don't know if this is for me. Not fan of the cover.
ReplyDeleteI do love a good alpha male!!
ReplyDeleteI have also read those raving reviews, and had this book scheduled for the weekend. I am really looking forward to it, also because it should be just plain fun a lot of the time. Now I am even more eager to start reading it and find out for myself.
ReplyDeleteThe real question here is...would you read the next book in the series??

KT
Hihi, I did wonder how that weird stuff tasted
@Misha
Lol, too bad there was only one dragon but hey that is better than none
@melissa
I fear I knew that from page 10, but it was still ok, I mean I just did not fall as hard as everyone else seems to have done
@Staci
have a look,everyone loves it, more than be too
The word Dragon in the title automatically caught my eye, but after reading your review.... the thing is, I got a mountain of TBR spilling from the shelves onto piles on the floor... in my futile fight to keep the TBR under control, I don't think I'd be picking this book up...
ReplyDelete@Cherry
ReplyDeleteThough everyone else loved it to pieces..but yes I do get the huge TBR pile. I am trying not to buy more books, or borrow awesome books from the library. I need to read those I have
I picked up DRAGON BOUND the other day and really liked it. I'm not in love with it, but it was a fun and light read - great if you don't want anything too serious or deep.
ReplyDelete@Jennifer
ReplyDeleteSo you were a bit more like me then. Good but did not fall in love like so many others :)
