Synopsis (Goodreads):
In dangerous Fort Dallas, Rachel is untouchable. All she has to do is hand over her panties every day. Sure, it’s weird, but it keeps her safe, right? And if there’s a reason behind it, she doesn’t care.

Until she finds out that she’s dragon bait. That changes things.

To stay in the fort’s sheltering walls, Rachel needs to ‘befriend’ a dragon and establish a mental connection with him. Drakoni male Jurik may be protective of her, and caring…but he’s still a dragon, and just as lost to the madness as any of them. He can’t be trusted. No dragon can. Rachel wears the scars from the last time she tangled with one, so seducing one seems absurd.

Or…is it?

Because Jurik doesn’t see her scars…all he sees is her. Is he her worst nightmare? Or everything she needed?
Thoughts on Fire in His Chaos: MAN, I like these Drakoni. They're a little whacked out from being dumped in our world, a lot dangerous when lost in their heads, and complete cuddle bugs once they find their special someone. Jurik is SO adorably cuddly. He just wants to stay as close to Rachel as he can get and she's both weirded out by it (because when all is said and done, the guy's still a predator) and comforted by it (because there's not much opportunity for sweet cuddling when the world's on fire around you). To be fair, the weirded out part really only comes into play before she gets to know him and accepts that he's totally into her and would never hurt her. After that, she's a-okay with it on every level.

Speaking of Rachel, she's the prickly sort of survivor you'd expect to find in the After. She guards her heart after being abandoned by her parents. She's pragmatic about her looks because of her scars. She's practical and hardy and she's willing to do most anything to keep on surviving. Putting the moves on a dragon, however, is sort of outside her comfort zone.

As for Jurik, he's one of the more sane unmated dragons we've met so far. That's mostly thanks to the human-Drakoni babies who are forcing him (and others) to stay in the here and now with their infant demands. Babies who can mind-speak and keep badass warriors focused are pretty awesome. When Rachel stumbles over him, Jurik finds a little more focus (although he does do the crazy thing occasionally, still).

We get a few more answers to the big question of how the humans and Drakoni are going to have to figure out how to co-exist on earth (there's a plan in the works, it's just...well, it's an interesting plan hatched by a guy who skates the line between good and bad). We also get a new complication that could have BIG ramifications for both the human survivors and the Drakoni alike. This is a crazy dangerous world and I'm loving it!
