5.0 out of 5 stars Bound to Read August 4, 2009

By L. Rice

Format:Kindle Edition

Prepare yourself for a journey through a world that mixes the war-torn Afghanistan of today with the sultry, mythological beasts of yesteryear when you pick up Stephanie Draven's Wild, Tethered, Bound.

A quick and satisfying read, Draven's knack for weaving ancient mythology through the complexities of military life, finding one's identity, and realizing love can truly seize you at any given time, brings you close to two very convincing characters without even noticing that you are breaking the bounds of reality and dancing on the edges of fantasy. Through Nick and Dessa, an American soldier stationed in Afghanistan and a Dryad with a longing to save the last forested areas in a war zone, one is transported through a world of "what if's" that collides with a sexual tension too great for our hero and heroine to control. The limits of their humanity are broken, and each soon magically unravel while being wrapped up in each other at the same time.

Truly, Wild, Tethered, Bound is a delightful, sexy, page-turning read with lust, danger and love around each plot turn. I would recommend it to anyone who might find themselves wanting a quick foray into a hot, sexual fantasy -- though I'd read it alone so that no one can see the blushing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blown Away August 31, 2009

By Niki R. Redman

Format:Kindle Edition

Be prepared to be completely blown away by the rich and colorful story that Stephanie Draven has written. From the very beginning I found myself in a world that merges fantasy and reality all to the better. The passion that builds between the main characters was enough to make my blood sizzle and my eyes unable to stop reading! Wild, Tethered, Bound is an excellent book that speaks to the heart as well as being an absolutely delicious read.

More About the Author

Stephanie Draven is currently a denizen of Baltimore, that city of ravens and purple night skies. She lives there with her favorite nocturnal creatures-three scheming cats and a deliciously wicked husband. And when she is not busy with dark domestic rituals, she writes her books.

Stephanie has always been a storyteller. In elementary school, she channeled Scheherazade, weaving a series of stories to charm children into sitting with her each day at the lunch table. When she was a little older, Stephanie scared all the girls at her sleepovers with ghost stories.

She should have known she was born to hold an audience in her thrall, but Stephanie resisted her writerly urges and graduated from college with a B.A. in Government. Then she went to Law School, where she learned how to convincingly tell the tallest tales of all!
