Bound by a Dragon by Linda K. Hopkins is the first
book in the Dragon Archives series. It is the story of Keira, a young girl, who
is fascinated by the dragon that taken residence in the mountains above her
village. Soon a handsome and mysterious man comes to the village’s market day
and approaches her family’s table. Aaron Drake has moved into his family home
of Storbrook Castle. Aaron is fascinated that Keira is unafraid of the dragon
while everyone else is terrified. The two become close friends under the suspicious
eye of Edmund Hobbes, Keira’s self-proclaimed fiancé and local bully. As Keira
and Aaron draw closer in their relationship, Aaron reveals a deep, dark secret.
Will Keira be able to accept the man as well as his secret? Will she be able to
love him as well as keep his secret? How will Edmund react when he discovers
Keira’s heart now belongs to another? Will Keira’s love for Aaron put her in
danger?
Bound by a Dragon is a nice romance with exciting
action and drama. It was a nice change from the romance genres with vampires,
werewolves and other supernatural and mythical creatures. I enjoyed Keira’s
spunk and self-confidence. I liked that she knew what she wanted (or didn’t
want) and wasn’t afraid to crave her own paths despite the wishes and dreams of
her mother. I also liked that despite Aaron’s attractiveness and strength there
was a vulnerability about him too. He wasn’t the typical romance hero who comes
and saves the damsel in distress. I recommend Bound by a Dragon for a
fun and exciting romance.
