Blood bound is full of romance that is erotic and sensuous. There is a carnal passion between the two leads that has a pull completely out of their control. An alpha sexy as sin vampire named Leo that is overprotective, willing to do anything to keep his lady love Shelby alive and with him for all eternity. He is confident and arrogant yet sweet, tender and gentle around his Shelby, with the beast within the man ready to come out at a moments notice. It is dark and mysterious book with vampire attacks that are not sweetened for the faint hearted. There is betrayal of the worst kind, revenge of the best kind, enhanced vampire abilities not always heard about in the paranormal genre, and an all round fascinating take on the vampire and paranormal realm.Leo and Shelby were “blood bound” when at 10 years old she was on the verge of death and Leo was drawn to her like no other hated human before. Leo heals Shelby from the inevitable and over the next eleven years until she is of age watches over her until her 21st where he could fully claim her as his life long partner.Shelby struggles with her new life, however her fear is overridden by Leo’s magnetic pull. Shelby with all she endures keeps her spunk and feistiness, fighting Leo’s views of how a vampire needs to be all the way.With Leo being of noble ancestry there are those that oppose a vampire of such status being bound to a “bound born” measly human. So repulsed at the idea they go to all lengths to “eliminate” the problem.On Shelby’s side are powerful witches, consecration pendants, a prophecy, and of course her protector till the end Leo.An enjoyable read that leaves the storyline open-ended in waiting for the second instalment of this series, which I am eagerly anticipating. I would recommend this book for all lovers of paranormal novels that aren’t too set in their ways of what it entails to be a vampire
