Fire in His Embrace

By: Ruby Dixon

Narrated by: Noelle Bridges, Jeremy York

Length: 10 hrs and 22 mins

Publisher's Summary

There's only one way to tame a dragon.

Emma Arroyo knows this. She also knows that the big golden dragon captured by her brother's biker gang is in trouble, and it's all her fault. He followed her scent, and now his life is in danger.

She has to fix this, somehow. If she could talk to the dragon, they could form a plan to escape, both of them. But the dragon's mind is wild and full of uncontrollable, killing rage. There's no reasoning with him.

There's certainly no freeing him, not when he's like this. But Emma can't leave without him. There's only one way to solve this problem - a mating. When Emma approaches Zohr to claim him as hers, she realizes just what it means to be a dragon's mate, and how much she's in over her head.... And she learns how fiercely possessive a drakoni male can be.

Contains mature themes.

Fave story in series so far

The main character is string and independant and not needy like previous main characters. I like her alot. Im going to skip over Amy’s story because she is too timid and weak for me and the few times she was in previous stories she annoyed me with her delicateness. But I look forward to seeing if the doctor gets a dragon.

Great 3rd Volume, Equal Power Partnership

Another excellent addition to the series. I was initially worried that the beginning of the story would get mired in backstory of the character Emma but Ruby does a great job of quickly bringing the audience up to speed on where the last volume left off without sacrificing the background you want to develop the character who will be the protagonist for the whole story.

In the same style as the others in the Fireblood series there is a pairing where a male dragon (in this one Zohr) is attracted to a female he decides is his mate and their contact and connection help clear the madness the dragons experience in this realm. Again we see a large focus by the male on wanting their partner to be pleasured and consenting to whatever they do as well as feeling very possessive and protective and a desire to impregnate their mate.

However, I feel like this pairing stands out the most so far in the series in the way they seem to hold equal amounts of power. Emma is a very independent, strong, survival focused female character who expresses a great deal more dominance in the relationship than either of the previous females. There is also an interesting expression of Emma knowing how to armor herself emotionally and mentally and in essence at times blocking Zohr out. Zohr for his part also defers to Emma quite a bit and instead of the way other dragons behave does not try to convince or overpower her. This story is the first glimpse of an equal partnership in this story universe and it is really satisfying.

There is also a deeper dive into the politics and history of the dragons and the lives they lived before the rift. I love how with each volume Ruby reveals more of this dragon world and how it is leaking into this dystopian world. Zohr also remembers a bit more than the other dragons and we begin to see these different couples we have come to know organize together.

I will say I was disappointed with the final confrontation at the end of the story, it felt rushed and anticlimactic and not satisfying for all that was developed in the rest of the narrative. And again as Ruby has done with each of the other volumes in the series she creates the beginning of a bridge setting up a character that will serve as the new protagonist in the next story. I don't take this as a cliffhanger but something that creates an easy transition and allows the audience to get a taste of what the new pairing will be like. I actually really enjoy this.

Overall this is an excellent addition to a well written series, there is scattered sex scenes but a deepening story that draws the audience in and makes me curious to learn more about the world.

Emma & Zohr.

Fits right in with the series, so if you are this far you will like it. Heroine is a bit more blood thirsty which I liked. Again, lots and lots of steamy sex. This time around the background world is a bit more explained. It is good to have more information on where the dragons come from. Don’t read this if you are into serious post-apocalyptic details, because this one has holes. But if you in for a sexy romance, this one is it. Narrators do a good job.

A Dick and Jane Book

I really tried to listen to the entire book, I really really did, but I just couldn't make. If you remember your Dick and Jane Books you may have read in the first grade, well this book is written much the same way. I found the book could not hold my interest, my mind kept wondering causing me to do a great deal of rewinding, which flustered me to no end. I found it to be boring, elementary and hard to follow the story due to its lack of background development, leaving many questions unexplained. I found the characters to be juvenile, weak and just plane disappointing. The narrators left much to be desired....the voice for the Dragon when narrated by Noelle Bridges sounded like a teenager, not the rumbling growl you would expect from a very large warrior.

I wish I could give a more favorable review, but....try as I mite, I could not.

This was the first time I have read this author, but....I will try another one of her books before I place her at the bottom of my favorite authors list.

I loveeee this Book

I loveeeeee this book it shows more of the struggle of the humans to survive our own kind. the story is perfect.

Emma and Zohr

We first meet Emma in the second book of the series as the squatter in the department store and then as a key player in Sasha's escape from the nomads.
In this story, Emma takes her recently learned knowledge of dragons and puts it to use to free herself and Zohr. Zohr is the golden dragon being held in human form by the nomads, whose leader's identity becomes the basis for the drama and plot twists in this book.
As in the first two audiobooks of the series, Noelle Bridges and Jeremy York perform very well as the narrators for the third installment.

Sooo glad I skipped the 1st two!

After the first conversation the heroine has the the h from the first 2 books I was so glad I skipped them. They are dumb, cowardly, bitches.

This book was great with a strong, smart heroine and awesome hero.

The only thing I didn't like about this book was her asking for his consent 7 times everytime they had sex. It was redundant and beyond cringey. Not to mention the random conversations thrown into the middle of sex scenes...wtf?

Aside from that; this book had it all and I would've thought it'd be impossible to merge post apocalyptic with fantasy dragon, but the author does it here and does it well!

When she confronted Azar I seriously HATED her. All of a sudden she was TSTFL!!! Oh look the super villain who can control my mates mind and make him eat me...let's have a conversation instead of killing him. Stupid. Bitch. One of my absolute biggest pet peeves in a story is when the idiot fucking "hero" or in this case heroine has the opportunity to take out the only issue and threat and wants to converse with them forever. It's so annoying. Why can't we ever just have one MC with a fucking brain who just uses the opportunity they have to take out the threat instantly but instead gives them ample opportunity to kill them instead. Even once the stupid bitch realizes he's doing something and getting less and less concerned...she CONTINUES TO TALK TO HIM! This single component made me knock this down from a 4 to a 3. Seriously. It destroyed the entire book for me it was that enraging.

Loved these booked

Loved the booked. Loved the way the dragons see the world. Can’t wait for the follow up. I want to know what happens to the other dragons. And the females. More please.
