A dangerous secret threatens their love…

Rene can’t seem to get her life together. After her high school sweetheart and long-term boyfriend dumps her, she throws her heart and soul into her job. When she’s mysteriously fired from her position at the Department of Dragons, she’s done playing nice. Something is wrong in Five Peaks and she’s determined to get to the bottom of it. When she meets Kellan Rixa, she finds an unlikely ally, and it doesn’t hurt that he’s scorching hot.

Dragon shifter Kellan is intrigued by Rene. She’s smart, feisty, and could be his perfect mate. But before he can act on his desire for her, they must work together to find out who is keeping secrets from them both, and why. Kellan fears it’s something that could throw the entire dragon world into chaos, but even he doesn’t suspect the sinister truth.

As Rene and Kellan work together to uncover the mystery together, Kellan struggles to keep his dragon under control. The beast wants to claim their mate, but first, they must survive a conspiracy deep in the heart of Five Peaks.

Riley is one of those early-morning people you love to hate, because she swears she doesn't need caffeine, even though the coffee-maker is connected to her smartphone. She lives in a three-story townhouse by the good graces of a tabby-cat who rules the house, the couch, the table, well, basically everywhere. When she's not groveling for forgiveness for neglecting to pet her kitty enough, Riley is strapped in to her writing chair coming up with crazy worlds where she can make her own decisions of when feeding time is and how much coffee can be drank without her friends--of which she has three--holding yet another intervention that they threaten to post on the internet.

Dragon Bound is the third book in the exciting Dragons of Mount Rixa series.

Something new has come through the gate putting everyone in jeopardy. When they learn what it is that came through the dragons must find the reason before the Warped Fae destroys them all. Legends say he is the worst of the worst, they know he has an agenda but they don't know what it is.

Its fun watching these big strong alpha dragons brought to their knees all for the one they love.

With twists and turns that keep the pages turning there is something for everyone who loves a shifter romance.

This is a NON-SPOILER REVIEW. Dragon Bound by Riley Storm is the third book in the Dragons of Mount Rixa series. I really enjoyed this read. Kellan and Rene had serious chemistry from the start. Action, lots of drama and spicy heat (this is a Mature Readers Only read) take this read in a forward direction. While we get more information on the Warped Fae, the story still does not resolve. I love that we get hints and pieces of the puzzle, but still there is enough left unsaid to make this series addictively mysterious. A great anytime read that is highly entertaining and recommended to be read in series order.

Still going strong with lots of surprises!

This story is really intense. I loved both Rene and Kellan. Rene is still getting over being dumped by her long-time boyfriend. Now she is told over the phone that her job is gone too! Then she meets Kellan who is trying to find out why her dragon liaison job has ended when the dragons want it and are funding the department! That is all in the first few chapters. Things ramp up from there. There are a ton of twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat. Watching Rene and Kaplan learn to trust each other was great.

The pace is breakneck and the tone is uncertain yet hopeful with a character and action oriented storyline that has some steamy scenes. The characters are vivid and kickass, both dragon and human. Neither one are willing to give up. You need to read at least this series in order. However to get the most out of your reading experience, you really need to read all the Dragons of Mount Aterna box set first, then Mount Teres in order, Mount Valen in order, and Mount Atrox in order before these Mount Rixa stories in order. Enjoy! These are some really cool dragons with some different abilities from other dragon shifter romances.

We are one book three of the Dragons of Mount Rixa. There is something afoot happening in this town, and it just keeps ongoing. A newcomer to the story Rene has just gotten out of a long-term relationship and is going to throw herself into her new job at the Department of Dragons. Problem is she all of a sudden lost her job. She is dumbfounded and talks to her friend Jordyn, and she informs her mate Tars as the dragons paying for this department. Things seem a bit of kilter, so they send Kellan to find out what is going on. With these two working together now, Rene and Kellan have to find out the truth behind this situation. Kellan's dragon knows that Rene is his mate but cannot act on it at this time. As things go on, a tornado of emotions and things happen are just enough to keep you on the edge of your seat. You should grab this book and check out what is actually happening see who the bad ones are. Is there a love that will happen?

Rene and her boyfriend of many years had broken up, but she consoled herself with the knowledge that she had a new job as an ambassador between humans and the dragons. Unfortunately, her excitement over her job quickly turns into an investigation when she is informed that her job has been eliminated. Kellan is one of many dragon shifters in Five Peaks, he is in town to find out why the Department of Dragons has been suddenly shut down. Rene and Kellan quickly realize that something strange is afoot after they are given the runaround by the towns officials.
Well written, compelling, and sexy characters that will end up working together to find out who is trying to sabotage the relationship between the human and dragon populations of Five Peaks. Exciting action, suspense, surprising twists, intrigue, and a happily ever after, I couldn't put this book down. I think this is another must read in a fantastic series.

Oh la la
Rene just wanted a new start she had broken up with her boyfriend of many years and now was about to start a new job for the Department of dragons. she was excited about it but then everything went wrong! the job vanished and she didn’t understand why?? Thankfully she could ask her good friend Jordyn Who is mated to a dragon shifter and find out what is going on. Something just isn’t right.
Kellen is sent to find out what is going on and when he meets René he knows that he has found his mate but Kellen needs to get to the bottom of what is happening. The chemistry between these two is just brilliant and the banter everything is just brilliant there is so much going on in this book so much drama and action it just leaves you with a humongous smile on your face. Another brilliant read from Riley storm. I could read her books every day.

Rene just got out of a long time relationship when she heard she suddenly is fired from her job. This is a huge surprise not only to her, but also to the dragons who are funding her department.

Together with Kellan she tried to find out what happened, but it only gets worse. Somebody seems to have a evil eye on Kellan his clan and acting on it to make it more and more difficult for them.

Rene and Kellan team up to solve this and while doing this they are developing feelings for each other. Although on Kellan his part his dragon knew she was his mate the minute she touched him.

Another great dragon shifter story full of action.

Fast and Feisty
This continues to be an amazing series. The Rixa Dragons are up against the Warped Fae and those who he has under its control. Shockingly, for this book, it’s the Dragon Kellan’s long time friend, and Rene’s Boss. They manage to wreck havoc on the Rixas so how will this mystery be solved? Read and find out.
This series continues to never disappoint. The writing is brilliant with well-developed characters and a storyline that holds your interest from start to finish. I’m certainly recommending this book for your reading pleasure. PEACE.

"Dragon Bound" is a wonderfully well written , fast paced adventure that you won't want to put down. Kellan and Rene's story is loaded with one mystery after another and things are starting to come to a head between clan Rixa and the warped fae. The dragons still have questions that need answers like what exactly is the Warped Fae up to and why he is obsessed with the Rixa clan leader. What are the dragons missing? Will they be able to defeat the Warped Fae once and for all? Only time will tell. I for one am looking forward to the next book in this wonderful series. I read an Advanced copy in exchange for an Honest review. All opinions are my own !

The tension increases

I'm so appreciative that each book provides a complete story while setting up the expectations for the next one. The story of Rene and Kellan was sweet, but not over the top, making it very plausible. I love the way this pair, like Jordyn and Tars from the previous book, work so well together as a team to solve the challenge the Warped Fae presents.

If you like dragon shifters and mates who grow stronger throughout the story, then I'd recommend you read this series. It starts with Clan Aterna and proceeds with the other four clans. As you read each book, the challenge grows.

I don't know what took Kellan so long to remember some things that has happened lately in the near past. But finding your Mate could have taken some time though. Very good story. The excitement is off the charts. The danger is exciting and enticing. WHAT, an extremely good looking man wanting to spend time with you and get to know you better. You don't thing that is enticing? I'm sold. I would LOVE to live in Five Peaks. I received a complimentary review copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Clan Rixa is getting closer to solving the mystery surrounding all the dragon clans from the beginning of the series. Rene and Kellan are determined to get to the bottom of why someone is targeting the clan but their professional relationship quickly morphed into something so much deeper. Will they be able to neutralize the threat on time before it causes too much damage? It was a great read and cannot wait to read the next book.

The author has taken us back to Five Peaks to spend some time with our friends. However, when things start to go crazy Kellen is sent into town to find out what is going on. The first person he checks in with is Rene and she also wants answers. The more they work together, the more they feel for each other.

I am enjoying this series about the Dragons of Mount Rixa, Dragon Bound is the third book this time it's the turn of Kellan and Rene to be the centre of attention. The story has plenty of mystery and intrigue as well as some strange happenings within the Department of Dragons. The author has woven action, suspense, palpable chemistry and romance into an enjoyable, gripping and entertaining story which is a wonderful addition to this fast-paced enjoyable series.

Part of the Mount Rixa series of dragon shifters. Kellan and Rene are the two main characters. This time the warped fae is trying a new tactic. But clan Rixa will take the brunt of it. The story is adventurous with a mystery that will take a lot to figure out the missing pieces. The romance is great with both danger and humor. We do get some answers that will shed some light. But with the warped fae nothing is ever certain.

Dragon Bound

This third book in this series is Kellan and Rene's story and their determination to find the reason behind the recent financial attacks on the dragon's and the Mayor 's attempt at avoiding their questions. When another attack by Oriyn threatens Rene and other humans, Kellan goes into stealth mode to rescue everyone. I really enjoy this author's books. They are exciting and well written.
