Synopsis (Goodreads):

Jenny’s dreams have turned to nightmares.

Every night, her thoughts are filled with evil. Something is reaching out…and she’s not so sure she wants to reach back. That is, until someone new appears in her dreams. Someone who protects her, comforts her, and thinks of Jenny as his mate. Imaginary friends aren’t real, but Jenny likes to pretend, anyhow.

Then, one day, one of the mindless dragons guarding the fort awakens…and Jenny realizes that the friend from her dreams isn’t a figment of her imagination. He’s a dragon.

And he’s looking to claim his female.

Thoughts on Fire in Her Dreams: All things considered, it might be a little odd to say I've missed these arrogant, possessive dragons and the messed up world they've unintentionally terrorized, but BOY do I like dipping my toes back into this world. These dragons are a hot mess of epic proportions and they caused a lot of damage when they came through the rift. They're arrogant and dangerous and when they find their special someone things don't always snap into place (well, the physical side snaps, but the mental clarity isn't always quite as quick to come back), but they are FUN to read about.

So. This time we have Mhal and Jenny. He's one of Azar's zombie dragons and she's a recruit into the panty program. Her distress over her weird dreams lets him break free of Azar's hold and she's entirely sure she's made him up right up until he really awakens and things go sideways. Unlike some of the earlier couples, at least Jenny has a friend who can provide a little guidance. She and Mhal still have to figure A LOT of things out, but at least she has some idea what to expect.

Which isn't to say things are easy. Mhal is mentally pretty messed up and only his instinctive desire to protect his mate keeps him from causing Jenny any damage. Like all the other dragons, he's gloriously arrogant, too. Jenny has to coax him around to understanding that doing things the drakoni way isn't going to work for her since she's very human. No lie, I dig when these dragons get to experience kissing and whatnot for the first time. They're just so darn enthusiastic about it once they try it out.

We get answers toward where all this is heading and, well, more Azar. Which is unfortunate. The Azar part, not the answers. That dude is...I don't know. I honestly can't wait to see how he fixes things with his lady and figures out that just because you can doesn't mean you should. His story should be pretty darn interesting, one way or another.

Bottom line: We got lots of arrogant dragon, plenty of steamy kisses, and a sliver of hope that the light at the end of the tunnel will lead to better things for all of the couples we've met so far. *thumbs up*
