About this listen
How brave must you be to love a dragon?
Keira loves her rustic village life, but she doesn't love the man her overbearing mother expects her to marry. But that is of little consequence to her neighbors, especially as two newcomers have stirred up excitement in the village.
The first new arrival is Aaron Drake, handsome and charming, and intent on pursuing Keira, which stirs up trouble with her mother and soon-to-be-betrothed.
As for the other new arrival, who wants a fire-breathing dragon living in their backyard?
But both Aaron and the dragon have secrets they would prefer to remain hidden from the villagers. As events begin to escalate, the truth will drastically alter Keira's life in ways she could never have imagined, setting her on a completely new path.
Bound by a Dragon is the first book in The Dragon Archives, a clean, paranormal fantasy that will take you on an epic journey through medieval castles and lairs. Awarded the Indie Brag Award, it will keep you engrossed to the very last chapter.

Story
I’m Val Thorvald, and I’m an assassin. When magical bad guys hurt people, I take care of them. Permanently. This doesn’t make me popular with the rest of the magical community — as you can tell from the numerous break-ins and assassination attempts I’ve endured over the years. But thanks to my half-elven blood, a powerful sword named Chopper, and a telepathic tiger with an attitude, I’ve always been able to handle my problems with aplomb. Maybe some cursing and swearing, too, but definitely aplomb.

Story
Mav disappeared before I could ever tell him about the child I carried. I’ve had years to get over him, and I’ve tried. But the second I see him again my heart lurches and it’s like all that time evaporates. I still burn for him, even though I know it’s a bad idea. I try to remind myself about the bad things: his possessiveness, his quick temper...but he’s different now. More mature. Protective. Settled. And hiding something. Something bigger than the child we share.

Story
The knight was supposed to be a man. Not me, Sophie MacKnight, a marketing associate from California. This must be a practical joke that the Scots play on visiting Americans. Because otherwise I’ve inherited a haunted castle in Scotland, along with one irritatingly sexy Scotsman. Frankly, I thought I would fly here, sell the heap of bricks, and head back home to a life that I…well, I was comfortable with at the very least. Instead, the people of Loren Brae are in trouble, and it appears that as the new owner of the castle, I’m next in line to reinstate the magickal Order of Caledonia.

Tate is not the sort of neighbor you can ignore. Especially when he walks around half naked for all the world to see. I can't help that I got a weak spot for bad boys. But that was before I became a single mom, and I’m not so weak anymore. Besides, Tate lights my temper without even trying, and I swear he enjoys teasing me. Well, two can play at that game, and I think it’s time someone teaches him a lesson.

People say I'm a weirdo. Sure, my idea of a party is a mini box of wine and hanging out with a feral raccoon, but it works for me. When I’m accused of murder, things get crazy. One, I learn that I have magic. Two, there’s a secret magical city hidden right in London itself. And three, my only hope is a vampire who’s sexy as sin and scary as the devil himself. He's called the Devil of Darkvale, and he all but owns Guild City. Some say I should just quit and turn myself in. Not a chance. I’m going to solve this murder myself.

Of two things I'm certain: When something sounds too good to be true, it is; and when Alexius Del Rossa makes you a deal, you run far away and never look back. Me? I didn't run. I stayed. I opened that envelope, and I accepted his offer. Why? Because my life was a mess and on a downward spiral to a big, fat nothing. And he just offered me everything in exchange for six months of my life. It was supposed to be a simple arrangement, but I learned the hard way that nothing is simple when it comes to Alexius.

Characters you love & hate
I don't usually do "historical" type of stories, but I decided to give this one a try because I paranormal stories are my favorite. There were things I liked and disliked about this story. I enjoyed Keira's character, but it took me a while to warm up to her sister Anna and their father, however I disliked her mother immensely. I hated the way she treated Keira and how she rather believed Edmund over own daughter. I absolutely loved Aaron and his family and friends, well I loved everyone except Jack. Overall, this was a good story with a bit of suspense, betrayal, lies, romance and love. The narrator did a great job with the characters, and I don't mind listening to her voice at all. I'm looking forward to more of Keira and Aaron, and even Anna.

I liked it!
I love dragons! This author was new to me. I liked the story., It is a true romance. There is not a lot of sex scenes. The sex is eluded to but not explicit.
I thought the narrator did a great job and brought the characters to life.
I will add the other books to my TBR list!

I fell in love with this book many years ago. I just love the narrator’s performance. She captured the essence of the story where the characters came to life. I recommend this audio book to anyone who enjoys listening to a fantastic story and written by an excellent writer, and narrated exemplary. Check out Ms. Hopkins other work they are all fascinating!

A Sensuous Immersion
This is my first experience with reading a book and then listening to a narrator read the same story. Linda K Hopkins creates a full sensory world with vivid description of just the right details and Josephine Hall’s rich, velvety voice drips those details straight into the listener’s heart.
With creative genius, Hopkins tackles some scary themes in this story. The characters have to make dire choices and do things that don’t fall into a normal life, but the rewards are also deeper and more lavish than a normal life can hold. Hall clearly distinguishes between the characters with a wide variety of voices and the emotion of the events builds and builds to the stunning climax.
I recommend this book to all dragon lovers.

I normally dont go for dragons but...
I actually can say that this was a good experience for me because the narrator did a phenomenal job keeping her voice interesting and the story upbeat. Normally I dont go for books about dragons because I'm more of a vampire fantasy adventure lover but it's a decent story that continues on in future books so what's not too nice with great narration, fun upbeat, interesting fiction and ofcourse plenty of fantasy!!
I was given a free copy of this audiobook for my honest feedback in return and enjoyed doing so because I wanted to and as well reached out to :) Mot the other way around lol ;)

Amazing book!
This was the first book I had read from Linda Hopkins and I have fallen in love! She writes well and I was wrapped up in the story the whole way along. When I heard that it was coming out as an audiobook I was very excited! This book did not disappoint as an audiobook! The narrator was good and only occasionally was I reminded that it was the same person reading all the different voices! I can not imagine how she managed to keep all the voices straight! I can't wait to hear the next one in the series!

Great listen!
I love dragons. Stories about dragons enthrall me. Linda K Hopkins book Bound by a Dragon has changed the way I look at dragons forever. The dragons in this book were once human and are now cursed. Although it can come off as Beauty and the Beast like, I think it works. These dragons can’t break their curse but can take human form. How cool is that!
If you like dragons and fantasy with some romance you will like this book.

Great Book!
I first read Bound By A Dragon as an ebook, so was excited to read it as an audiobook. I was not disappointed. I like the fact that Linda Hopkins is a descriptive author without overdoing it, and she touches on sex without that being the focal point of the story. She’s a good writer, which is hard to find with all of the Indie authors out there. I definitely recommend this book and have read, and will continue to read, more of this author.
I am posting this review of my own volition.
