I needed a PNR fix. So this ARC came at the perfect timing. While I absolutely adore contemporary books, my real love falls in the PNR/SciFi realms. I looooovvvvvveeeeeee them sooooo much!! My feelings are the same for this guy/gal/it/book?!
I think this is one of the first books I’ve read where a character has 3 different voices/ personalities. It was fascinating how Mac, while was 3 different people, she really was whole when she was all 3. – clear as mud right… If you want to get all psych on it, it can also portray that we also have different sides of us. That depending on circumstances, it will bring a different side out of you. – like I’m a lover not a fighter, till you mess with my kids. Then I’ll kill you. I loved the different sides of Mac and how they all came together.
Ryan and Bear. Dear Sweet Sweet Ovaries. I love me a burly alpha man who is a bit broken but still does everything he can despite pieces of him missing. But Mostly MOSTLY I love how he liked… nay….LOVED & LUSTED every side of Mac. He- Man and Beast – loved her completely… All of her.
My only complaint is that I feel like the first part of the book moved slower. Maybe it was because I was anticipating the story so much or it is very likely that due to the Real World, my patience was thin. I’m really thinking it is the second item. I was a brat when I was reading this book. Absolutely nothing due to this book.
Now once the llama drama really started started, the book was fast. Twist and Turns that I was not expecting. It kept me up way too late, and frankly day dreaming wayyyyy too long. So in other words. Perfect!
I can NOT wait to see where this series goes. I absolutely adored the supporting cast. (I kind want Brock…. no wait the twins….. ha kidding Nick…..all of them?!!) I can not decide who I want to read next, but I know whosever book is next, it is going to be filled with Llama Drama, and red hot passion. Dare I say a potential ménage is a coming or should I say a cumming
This is a really great story. I enjoyed so many aspects of the story and truly felt like I was on an emotional rollercoaster that was necessary for the flow of the story. This story is not the same old story being retold, rather it is unique and action-packed with plenty of character development. I have a hard time believing this is the debut novel of this author. Surely she has to have extensive experience in writing. I loved her word choices in this book. I know it may be a weird thing to comment on, but found the words she chose to be above average in complexity for readers. I love this because it allows people to expand their vocabularies, which is so important for all of us! The flow of the story is perfect and meaningful. Overall, the writing of this book is top notch. There is a good balance between all of the action and the sex scenes without it feeling too vulgar. There are plenty of explicit sex scenes and if you can’t handle those you should just skip over those parts and still enjoy the book! This is quite original. I really enjoyed the variety in the shifter world and the complexities of their world described within the book. There is so much depth in this book and really allows the reader to escape into the book and feel as if they have become part of the storyline. You are left at the end of this book feeling so satisfied with what you have read, yet yearning for more, which we will get since this is a series. If I could pick one character to have my backs in life it would be Sara. And that is all I will say. Any reader who enjoys paranormal romance, sex scenes, and/or is looking to find out if they love these types of books should get it and read it! Reader beware, the sex scenes are nothing to take for granted. They are, well let’s say, graphic? In the best way possible.
I came upon this book kind of by accident, but honestly with that cover, how could I say no?
This was a million mile per hour whirlwind adventure from the very start and totally engaging. It’s hard not to instantly relate to this heroine and want to help her figure out her story. The setting is lush with other fascinating characters, danger, suspense and a very taut edge of sexual tension. Just all super well done. I can’t wait to continue with this series!
RECOMMEND!

Ryan in the Fire Chief and also a bear alpha shifter who has sparks flying as soon as he see Mackenzie..but there is a mystery going on with her and the fires that are going on. Enjoyed this Paranormal Romance.
Oh sweet Jesus! What a debut, this girl is going places!! I read this book not having huge expectations because it is the first book of Miri but OMG!!! This book is not good, it is excellent. Shook me to the core… Not your everyday shifter book… Raw emotions run rampage and it pulls you up, lets you fall and lifts you again. Mac is so strong having to go all that she goes thru and still being able to love and care and I really, really, really hope Nick gets a HEA at some point because he is my favorite!! Do not miss this book, I am eagerly waiting to hear the story of the rest of the crew!
Wow, what a debut novel this was to read! I am beyond hooked on Miri Stone! Her writing is truly magnificent! If I could give her more than 5 stars I would.
When the story first started I was a little confused as to what was happening but I soon got lost in the way the tale was being told. It had a nice pace and it has hot shifters and a deep story within its pages! What Mac is, well let’s just say I have never read a book with that type of character before and I want more! Beautiful in all her glory, inside and out. She is confused about herself for a bit but the way things are discovered about her and those around her is well told and keeps you locked in the story.
It is a story filled with lots of action, love, heat (not just sexual in nature either) and a connection that truly is something you would wish to find for yourself. It has some tragedy within the characters that gets played out and not in a way you may expect. I love the twists and turns that I experienced while reading it.
I truly look forward to future books by Miri Stone!
