SHE’S SWEPT INTO TREACHEROUS WATERS

Princess Bria Visconti demands the return of the money her brother rashly invested in Cutter Salvage. Treasure hunter Nick Cutter is too reckless, too arrogant—and far too handsome—for his own good. But he can’t charm his way out of this one. Bria plans to make Nick pay up even if she has to board his boat, don a wet suit, and dive for the treasure herself…

HE FIGHTS THE RELENTLESS PULL

Nick sees Bria as a beautiful but spoiled princess who’s never done a day’s work in her pampered life. But once they set sail for the dive site, and the legendary fortune in gold the wreck carries, Nick begins to see Bria in a new light. This princess may be out of her depth, but she’s ready to take on the hidden danger and excitement a treasure hunt stirs to the surface. Together they must fight unexpected enemies—and reveal their darkest secrets—before they’re pulled into a rip current of danger.

Series: Men Who Walk The Edge Of Honor #1

The tougher they are, the harder they fall…

Professional mercenary Dare Macintosh lives by one hard and fast rule: business should never be personal. If a cause appeals to him and the price is right, he’ll take the mission he’s offered. But then the lovely Molly Alexander asks him to help her track down the men who’d had her kidnapped—and for the first time, Dare’s tempted to combine work with pleasure.

Fiercely independent, Molly vows to trust no one until she’s uncovered the truth. Could the enemy be her powerful, estranged father? The ex-fiancé who still holds a grudge? Or the not-so-shy fan of her bestselling novels? As the danger heats up around them, the only anchor Molly has is Dare himself. But what she feels for him just might be the most frightening thing of all…

Series: The Fallen #2

Once the Fallen’s fearless ruler, a grieving Azazel must find the legendary siren meant to take his lost lover’s place . . . and kill her.

He’s a devil of an angel.

Azazel should have extinguished the deadly Lilith when he had the chance. Now, faced with a prophecy that will force him to betray the memory of his one true love and wed the Demon Queen, he cannot end her life until she leads him to Lucifer. Finding the First is the Fallen’s only hope for protecting mankind from Uriel’s destruction, but Azazel knows that ignoring his simmering desire for the Lilith will be almost as impossible.

She’s an angel of a demon.

Rachel Fitzpatrick wonders how Azazel could confuse her with an evil seductress. She’s never even been interested in sex! At least not before she set eyes on her breathtaking captor. And now she can’t think about anything else—besides escape.

Angels and demons don’t mix.

Rachel stirs a carnal need in Azazel that he never thought he’d feel again. Falling for a demon—even if she has no idea she’s the Lilith—means surrendering his very soul. But if he lets her go, he risks abandoning his heart, his dangerous lover, and possibly all of humanity, to Uriel’s deadly wrath.

Dragon Bound by Thea Harrison

Available: May 3, 2011 Preorder: Amazon/ B&N/ Borders

Type: Paranormal Romance

Pubisher: Penquin

My Copy: ARC

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.

Wow. Just wow. Where do I begin? Thea Harrison has the beginning of something magical here. Something that will pull you from any reading slump. Something that will make your heart race and pound in your chest. Something that will make you feel alive. Thea has artfully created a world that will draw you in and make you believe. Dragon Bound was one of the best books I have read in a long time! Yes, I am stating that right here and now. I loved it. I loved it with the brilliant shining of a million stars.

Pia Giovanni is a half breed Wyr. Not quite shape shifter, not quite human. Longing to fit in somewhere. She knows stealing from the famously scary Dragos isn’t the smart thing to do but being blackmailed wasn’t what she had in mind for her life either.

Being the largest, most powerful Wyr is something Dragos is accustomed too. Having a back talking, sexy female is not. He isn’t sure what to do with his feisty thief but he sure isn’t letting go until he figures all her secrets out. Secrets Pia has sworn never to reveal to anyone again.

Dragon Bound had an awesome heroine that kicked butt and then enjoyed some Twizzlers and a slurpy. Pia wasn’t afraid to speak her mind or put Dragos in his place when he stepped on her toes. I loved her human mentality coupled with her magical abilities. Of course Dragos, being a uber scary dragon shifter that was centuries old, didn’t know quite what to make of Pia. His experiencing of new emotions was sweet and definitely made this a page turner. His protectiveness was fierce and we all know about me and alphas. Do I need to say how much I love alphas again? No? HA. It was well thought out and paced with just enough action and just enough set your sheets on fire sex. Believe me, Thea can write some steamy scenes. The world building is superb and gives you a mix of classic and unique paranormal elements.

The mix of characters helped make the book what it is. You get to meet a whole host of yummy magical shifter men with egos and attitudes big enough to rival that of Greek God’s. Shoot some of the God’s might even be modeled after the men. There are also a couple of women we meet as well that have snappy comebacks at the ready for these alpha men. The combination is electric. Certainly helped move the story along to see everyone’s interactions with each other and Pia, the new girl to their group.

.

The next book, Storm’s Heart, will follow Tricks as she steps into her role as a queen. Tiago who is the male lead is definitely drool worthy from his short appearance in Dragon Bound. He is a strong silent type and has a Native American eagle shifter able to throw thunder and lightening…ummm yeah…yum. Storm’s Heart  is due out August 2nd.

I give Dragon Bound by Thea Harrison 5 stars!
