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 … 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?

Fantastic series
It’s no secret that I am a fan of this series. But Fire in His Veins took it up a notch and was so gloriously different than the other books.
Yes we still have a Drakoni male who falls for a Human female but the circumstances are vastly different. Liam has cut himself off from his drakoni side. He has blended into life after the Rift by pretending to be human. He speaks English fluently. All of this allows him to strike up a friendship with Andi before any possessive mate stuff gets involved.
We get to see the deep feelings they have for each other as Liam helps Andi track down her runaway brother. We also really get to see them both interacting with the greater community around them instead of them being more isolated.
Gahhhhhhhh my heart was breaking for what they were dealing with. And this book sets up some intriguing little twists for the future of this apocalyptic world. I admit to be itching to get my hands on future books to see all the twists and turns this may take. And can I say I love the idea of a female dragon following Gabe. Oh the possibilities!!
I knew that Liam’s book would be as great as o hoped. Not only did he have this air abounding but when it came to his mate he loved her as much as the others. Such a great plot and interesting twists. I can’t wait to see what’s going to come with the next book. It’s one that I’ve been waiting for since this series started and the thought of a female dragon could get a book. I can’t wait! 5 stars #2OCCJD
Liam, man. The poor guy’s in a rough place. Not that all the drakoni aren’t in a rough place what with their rampaging case of the crazies and all, but Liam’s cut himself off from his drakoni side and he’s living a half-life as a human and I FELT for him.
Plus, there’s the whole fear he has (rightly so) that if he goes dragon he might end up hurting (or killing) Andrea and what’s a drakoni without a mate to anchor him? Pretty darn screwed if they’re on earth.
So Liam’s in a tough situation. The cold shoulder Andrea’s sending in his direction doesn’t help, either. She’s determined not to become what she was before and ends up hurting Liam when she goes out of her way to ignore him. Actually, Andrea’s actions are a little more complicated than that for the big guy. He sees her as playing hard to get which is a big turn on for the drakoni, but he also misses talking to her and being near her, so….yeah. Tough situation.
Being on the road alone? A little bit tortuous, a little bit perfection. Although the circumstances that send them out of the fort aren’t the greatest and Liam’s worried about losing control and…you know what? I feel like I’m going on and on and on.
Let’s just say there are a few exciting revelations made (lady dragons need love, too!) and I ADORE how protective these dragons are to their special someone. I liked Liam’s more human side (and he’s a whole lot more human than the others who’ve found their mates thanks to his time blending in) and watching Andrea’s walls slowly crumble as she gets to know the big guy more.
These dragons are a little crazy and a lot protective and I’m INTRIGUED by what’s coming up next.
