Dragon Bound by Thea Harrison is the first book in the Elder Races series. It is a wonderfully rich and entertaining story written in a world that is intriguing and unique. I absolutely loved this book. It has all the elements that I look for in a paranormal romance, a protective and strong Alpha male, a smart heroine that gives as good as she gets, outstanding secondary characters and a story that grabs your attention and doesn't let go. It's exciting, witty, erotic, creative and romantic. 
 Dragon Bound is a truly enjoyable read that will leave you anxious for more. I have already preordered the next book in the series and have ranked Thea Harrison as a new favorite author. I can only hope that her future books are just as good as this one. 
 Dragon Bound is highly recommended for fans of paranormal romance.
