Fire in His Veins by Ruby Dixon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’ve wanted Andrea since the moment I saw her.
But she’s human. I’m drakoni. The only way I’ll stay sane and not lose myself to the madness that’s swept over my people is if I keep my mental walls strong. I have to give up everything that makes me a dragon. That means no telepathy, no fire breathing, and no battle form.
I certainly can’t take a mate. Andrea can’t be mine.
When her brother escapes the fort, though, she needs help tracking him down. That means I’ll be alone with her, breathing in her sweet scent, and it may be too much for my control.
What happens if I give in to my dragon? Will I take her as my mate…or tear her throat out?

The heroine: Andrea (a.k.a. Andi) – She was second to Gwen at fort Shreveport. Now that Amy is running the fort, Andi feels a bit at a loose ends. She is taking care of her 14 year old brother and helps as she can around the fort. She has been trying to stay away from Liam because now that people know he’s a dragon, rumors have been flying about her and him.
The Hero(s): Liam (a.k.a. Atolum) – back on his home world, he was taken captive by the Salorians. He learned to keep his mind apart from the Salorians ability to control minds by building up walls in his mind and staying away from the way his people communicate through thoughts. He kept that up after being pulled through the rift and so was the only Drakonian that didn’t go crazy.
The Story: When Andi’s brother Benny runs away, Andi knows she needs to go after him and Liam goes with them. They go on a trek to follow Benny and bring him back to Shreveport. Along the way they realize they are mates. However Liam is unable to claim Andi for fear of losing his mind to the madness the rest of his people are experiencing.
Some reviewers didn’t like this one because they were hoping the story of the Salorian Azar and the big bad that might be coming through the rift. I had already looked at all the blurbs so I knew that one is coming in book 10. I actually really liked this book and think that the storyline in this one would be extremely relevant to an apocalyptic world like this, where billions died, electronics no longer work and most of the manufactured items in the world are very difficult if not impossible to find.
The narration was great, done by Noelle Bridges and Jeremy York. Most of the book was told from Andi’s POV, but there were plenty of chapters told from Liam’s as well. I am really liking this world of dragons and mates and plan to read more of the series.
