Ages 17 and Up A girl with nothing else to lose. A life that's brought nothing but pain. A tattoo that's more than what it seems. Eighteen-year old Veronica has had enough. Her alcoholic mother has only delivered a slew of abusive step-fathers and life is only getting harder. What was to be a simple tattoo for her birthday brings more than she ever imagined. Liam is a shape-shifting dragon. He lives on her shoulder, watching her, helping her. Having the dragon come to life and teaching her courage becomes a new lifeline for Veronica. But Liam will eventually become a permanent tattoo on her skin - never to take the shape of the protector she became attached to. Will she embrace her life or will a broken heart shatter her soul forever?

I have only read one other dragon shifter book before, very different than this one, but I loved them both.Ronnie comes from a broken home, a product of domestic abuse but she doesn't cling to her role as victim. She often deflects the anger of her step-father from her mother. She is a hero in that sense alone.
Liam is a dragon shifter with little experience guarding a ward of this sort. He is a fierce warrior and blood thirsty. I wont say Ronnie tames him, that is not true, but she helps him grow to learn that there is more to even a dragon than blood lust and war.
Their relationship is not easy and both make mistakes, it was quick and passionate but also sweet and affectionate.
*****SPOILERS BELOW*****
I wont usually post anything that can be viewed as a spoiler but I think this is the one refreshing detail that set this book apart from others!

OK, my spoiler has to do with the ending. Which I absolutely, 100% LOVED! Liam helped Ronnie grow enough that, even though she wanted him, she was not crippled by his leaving. She was strong enough to be alone! How often do you read where the heroine is just ruined, an empty husk, a shell of her former self, when her man leaves? It gets so old. I loved the courage it took Jeannette to NOT give Ronnie what many would perceive as the perfect happy ending. But to me these perfect happy endings are what hold us back from thinking that we have any worth outside of a relationship/couple. She found her worth and wasn't going to shrivel up and die because she was "alone". *GASP* God forbid.
Way to go, Jeannette, for sending the message that a relationship doesn't make you worthy of happiness.
Another point made: Domestic abuse is a cycle that can be broken without breaking you first.

Bound to Me Jeannette Medina Sheri Spell Stephanie White 9781492731184 Books Reviews
If I had known before I began this novella that it was a prequel to a soon to be released full-length novel, I probably would not have read it at this time. Not because it's not good or because I didn't like it, but because I did! Ms. Medina grabbed a hold of my attention on the first page and did not let go until the every end. Therein lays my problem. I'm not a very patient person, especially when it comes to books. So having to wait for the novel's release to find out what happens next is guaranteed to drive me nuts. If I had known, I would have waited until the full-length novel was released then read them both back to back.
Ms. Medina touches on alcoholism and abuse in Bound to Me. Two topics typically guaranteed to end any thoughts of romance or love. However she does it without delving so deep into either topic as to make the reader feel uncomfortable. Instead she uses both as a boost to show how our heroine can overcome having to face both on a daily basis to become a stronger person in the end.
Fair warning, this novella does end in a cliffhanger. However, it has such promise and potential that I can't wait for the next book to see what happens next.
As an avid reader and reviewer, it isn't often that an author's talent for telling a story surprises me. I have to admit that Ms. Medina did just that. If you're expecting a story filled with all heats and roses, you've come to the wrong place. But if you're looking for a well-written gritty story of finding personal strength and growth, you've come to the perfect place. Kudos to you, Ms. Medina, for tackling such deep topics. I can't wait to read the next book... if I can survive the wait.
If you are looking for a story full of hearts and flowers and sweet words well you have come to the wrong place. If you want a story full of passion and a rawness that you don't often see, then welcome.!
This is a story about a beautiful girl named Veronica, or Ronnie as her friends call her. She hasn't had a very easy life. Her father left when she was younger, her mother became a raging alcoholic to numb the pain and seems to only bring home abusive and perverted men. All she wants to do is be free, feel safe and loved, and above all else be worthy. So she decides to treat herself to a birthday surprise, and low and behold is given an amazing dragon tattoo. She later finds that because of the tattoo she is bound to the fierce black dragon warrior Liam, who has her back and shows Ronnie her true self worth.
I can honestly say that I didn't want this book to end. I found it both satisfying and frustrating and I so loved the part where they decided to throw caution to throw caution to the wind. Making their little bit of time together count and having those few memories of each other to last a lifetime. Fate is a B*!$%, lesson learned. I hope, no scratch that I can't wait until we get to see more of not only Ronnie and Liam but Jeanette Medina's writing.
P.S. If you are familiar with Jeanette Medina from I Heart Books, expect to find a Booty Pop somewhere in the story. I laughed so hard when I found it!

Ronnie comes from a broken home, a product of domestic abuse but she doesn't cling to her role as victim. She often deflects the anger of her step-father from her mother. She is a hero in that sense alone.
