Synopsis (Goodreads):
The tribes have wilted. The last of the menfolk have grown old. The human race has been dying since the red comet first soared through the skies above.

My name is Issa, and as the youngest huntress and the only one left within childbearing age, I’m doomed to be the last matriarch of my people. Which would be a great honor, if there were a male to be mine from another tribe. But none have been born, none but my younger brother. It’s been my life duty to protect him.

When the time comes to escort my brother to a neighboring tribe, my friend tells me a rumor of a huntress finding a dragon in the northern plains. And when that huntress touched the dragon’s hide, the beast transformed into a virile, possessively bonded male.

With a thundering heart and nothing left to lose, I venture into the forbidden jungle to find such a dragon. To touch him, to bear his burden.

But the dragon I find is nothing at all like I imagined…
Thoughts on To Touch a Dragon: Things are rough on Venys and Issa's dream of having her own man someday is pretty much dead in the water seeing as how the only male of her age in their tribe is her brother and there aren't a whole lot of other men out there. Being the awesome sister and someday ruler that she is, Issa channels her energy into keeping said brother safe and locking away her dreams of a different future.

Hearing about the legends of dragons and the possibility there might be one out there (even though part of Issa doesn't believe it at all), she sets out after dropping her brother off at a neighboring tribe to see if those legends are true.

It turns out they are and Kaos is NONE TOO HAPPY about being claimed by a human woman. Especially since it limits him to a very human body. He's a little rough with her feelings at first, but Issa perseveres just by being herself and eventually her dragon's instinct to protect and cherish their lady friend kicks in and he gets gentler. With her, at least, not necessarily gentler in general.

Elemental dragons, mating heats, a planet full of all sorts of wonderful craziness (dragons! mermaids! YAY!), and unfulfilled longings that finally get fulfilled.

As an aside, I am WAY into the cover dragon's hair. Very much what I imagined from the description and pretty darn cool.
