The day after you finish the book, you think about the characters. When it happens for the next couple of days as well, you realize how good it was and that you want more.I found Bound By a Dragon to be both unique and intriguing. It reminds us of the human condition, fear of the unknown and how different people handle the same reality (people vs dragons as an example). I found the love/romance aspect of this book to be better because there were no explicit love scenes. They simply weren't needed. The romance was there, the love was there and I honestly think it would have taken something away from story, so bravo to the Linda Hopkins for not having them.And while I never give away the story in a review let me just say I absolutely love the way Hopkins let the dragon be a dragon and true to that being. It made the story more believable.I enjoyed the first half of the book but the second half I really got into it and never once guessed what would happen (which I'm usually pretty good at). Instead I was nervous and hopeful that my favorite characters would remain unharmed.I thank the author for providing me with a free copy to review. As a first book, Bound by a Dragon exceeded my expectations. With just a tiny bit of polishing which will happen naturally by her second book I am sure, my bet is that we will see her moving up the ranks to a best selling author in no time. She has made me into a fan and I can't wait for the next book. And while I see the other reviews want to know what will happen with Anna, heck I want to know what new adventures Keira and Arron will have!
