This one is a little less than four stars but it’s the best so far. I liked the second book but this one was a lot better. The whole series still feels like it’s missing something but it’s improving over time.
My main issue was that, like the others in the series, it was just way too long for having so little plot. Also, Emma was supposed to be Hispanic but it was just really painfully obvious that she was written by a white person lol.

I genuinely enjoyed this one so much. Emma's realistic issues around emotional intimacy felt very accurate to me and Zor's patient stubbornness was adorable. These are definitely darker than Icehome though.

Ruby Dixon's series just keeps getting better, and "Fire in His Embrace" featuring Emma and Zorh is a delightful addition that had me giggling like a schoolgirl, thanks to the clever dry humor woven throughout the narrative.
What truly stands out is the world-building in this series. The way it unfolds is nothing short of fascinating, offering readers a deep dive into the lore and intricacies of this captivating world. It's a hot and fiery romance in more ways than one, with the slow burn in world-building itself makes this series super unique. And I'm here for every bit of it.
These books have become my guilty pleasure, my literary equivalent of comfort food. The sacrifices Zorh makes to keep Emma safe and the way this world is meticulously constructed are nothing short of awesome. It's a journey that's as satisfying as it is steamy, with a perfect blend of passion and fantasy.
In conclusion, "Fire in His Embrace" is a testament to Ruby Dixon's mastery in crafting addictive romances that keep readers coming back for more. With humor, fiery passion, and a world that continues to intrigue, this book is a must-read for fans of steamy romance and fantasy.

3.5 stars.
I really loved reading this, but I there were a lot of chapters that were the same scene but in the other persons point of view and it got on my nerves a little. This one had heaps of action and bits and pieces are starting to unravel and Amy WANTS a mate but her sister is making her decisions for her so I'm real excited to read her book, but I will admit when I'm reading these they at times feel a little too slow and tedious. It has me feeling for about 50% of the book that I won't read the next book, until I get closer to the end and the characters are set up and then I'm excited to continue. Individually each book has been pretty great action and romance wise, but there's so little background plot to the actual series that I always end up thinking I won't continue.
This book had a super strong heroine and a really great hero, they were both pretty badass, and both went through some shit. Hands down she's been my favourite because she was strong and wanted to fight not hide behind her dragon, and even though I'm still rolling my eyes at these girls whenever they go 'shopping' or look for loot (toothpaste and cookies, novels and mattresses) in a post apocalyptic world, because she was taught to survive she's the most 'smart' about things.
