FROM THE ASHES, EVEN THE MONSTERS CAN BE REBORN.Mackenzie wakes up, naked, in front of a burning apartment with amnesia and a voice in her head telling her to run. But when she takes refuge in a small mountain town, the fire beckons. The voice in her head has a disturbing connection to the flames. And yet, she can’t seem to stay away from Ryan, the local Fire Chief and bear shifter alpha.Too bad … alpha.
Too bad it’s a terrible idea to date a fireman when you’re harboring an inner pyro…
Ryan is on the hunt for the arsonist who’s stalking his town. Yet, he can’t get his mind off Mackenzie, the sassy new barista who pours lattes like a dream. When she keeps turning up at increasingly dangerous call-outs, he has to decide…
Is his mate the arsonist or merely a soul swept up in the flames?
Their sexual charge is through the roof. But their lives, and the lives of everyone they love, are set to combust if they don’t work out the true identity of the arsonist. Because he has a dark vendetta of his own. One that will not be denied.

You know how you see a cover that makes you all tingly cause it’s just that gorgeous, and then read the blurb which makes you jump around in anticipation waiting for the book you just pre ordered to finally be released?
That’s how I felt about Pyro, Pyro, Burning Bright. Miri Stone not only delivered she did so with a punch to the gut.
I just finished reading PPBB and I feel like I am coming down from a crazy high.
You get suspense, fight scenes, friendship, love and oh-so-hot passion, pages upon pages of goosebumps from thrills, all with a healthy dose of magic and abundance of sexy shifters who are nothing if not entirely human.
You feel it all because despite being a PNR, the human interactions and emotions are so genuinely real.
Amazing debut.
This should be on you TBR list today!
Always good to read something original. Loved the characters and plot. A great paranormal romance.
A fabulous paranormal romance read! Mackenzie makes for a spunky lead. I just love Stone’s writing style. It dragged me right in to experience this read with the whole crew. Loved every moment of it.
I want to smell like a fire-fighting bear . . . are words I never imagined myself uttering until I read this book!!! It has all the elements I love . . .
1) City girl meets country boy
2) Small-town romance
3) Quirky well-developed friends that feel like family (Sara is my personal favorite)
4) Kick-ass female protagonist
5) A group of hot male shifters
6) A sweet diner-esque café
7) Fire
8) Struggle between good and evil
9) Good coffee
10) A shower scene . . . okay, so I love a lot of things, the point is this book has them.
It was a fast read and the romance melded perfectly with the conflicts surrounding the couple. Ryan is a hot alpha who fights fires for a living and Mackenzie is the biggest fire he’ll ever meet.
I was pulled into the characters’ worlds and into their heads. Seamless and colorful world-making tied me to this wonderful story. I couldn’t believe this was her first novel! I waiting with bated breath for book two!
Pyro Pyro is probably one of the best books I’ve read this year. No, seriously. It held my attention from start to finish, and with the length of this novel, that’s seriously impressive. I love Mac and her fierce struggles. I love her sarcasm and wit, and the heartbreaking realities that she faces. The Chief is a beautiful polarity of soft and hard, steadfast and moveable. Their relationship is organic, but also that flash bang that is typical in this genre.
When it comes to secondary characters, you can’t help but fall in love with them. Even the most tragic and broken of the characters in this book become lovable in the way they are brought to life and nurtured.
This is truly an excellent start to what I can only imagine will be a truly epic series, and the first look into this world of shifters. I can’t wait to see where this all goes.
If you haven’t fallen in love with this book yet, I strongly urge you to get on with it. I promise you won’t regret it.
What an amazing debut by Miri Stone! I loved this book! The storyline was awesome and unique! It was full of action, suspense, mystery, intrigue, and spice! The characters are terrific and well rounded! I love Mackenzie , Chief, and all the guys, as well as Sara and the Cubs! I cannot wait to read the next book in the series! I would definitely recommend this book!
Absolutely loved this book! I was grabbed from the very beginning and couldn’t put it down until I had read every word. I loved the attention to detail and the descriptions given in this story. I loved the characters Ryan and Mackenzie together and how sassy Mac was. This is such a fantastic read, it had great characters as well as an amazing storyline that is well written and engaging. I can’t wait to continue this series!
This is the first book by this author that I’ve read and it won’t be my last. The eerie mysteries surrounding Mackenzie’s character drew me in from the start and, all the way through, I just couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. I’m usually a little on the fence as far as shifter romances go, but Stone packed this novel full of amazing, richly developed characters that I connected with right away (to the point that I’m hoping a bunch of them show up in future books.) Not to mention all the smokin hot chemistry between Mackenzie and a certain fire chief bear shifter. Whew, my kindle is still sizzling! Can’t wait to read more about the Phoenix crew. Would recommend to paranormal romance readers that love hot shifters.
Miri Stone’s debut novel is a smashing example of exactly how to enter the literary world. Her shifters are steamy and her main character is HOT. And that cover? I love it. If you like a gripping storyline with plenty of spice, this book’s for you!
Thank you to the author for gifting me this copy of Pyro, Pyro, Burning Bright. This was my first shifter book and I am hooked. I loved this book. Honestly, I love to read a little bit of everything but I was not expecting to enjoy this genre as much as I did. Just love the characters; Ryan is the local Fire Chief and bear shifter alpha. And Mackenzie is much more than the sassy new barista in town. Each unique member of the crew and family… just great. Great mix of heartbreak and love, mystery and humor, sexy and fun; intense. Definitely recommend this book.
First by this author as well as genre and wow! It was amazing, intense, on the edge of your seat great story. I was confused some of the time as I’ve not read a book like this but so glad I did definitely my first book hangover
Lions & Fires & Bears, Oh My!!
Bear shifters and firefighters are my catnip and I loved this book. I had the pleasure of watching this story come together and I’m so excited to see it out in the world.
It’s sexy, mysterious & funny. I dare you not to fall in love with every character in this book, especially the ones you’re not supposed to fall in love with.
It’s an amazing read that will keep you guessing until the end.
Congratulations Miri!
Wow, this book was surprising and intriguing.
I couldn’t put it down.
Miri Stone did amazing job with this book. She wrote this book amazingly.
Pyro, Pyro, Burning Bright is nothing like I have read probably ever. I am a vast PNR romance reader and have read numerous authors and different themes, this book, however, is different.
Mackenzie is unlike any character I have ever read before. She is a phoenix that runs by her emotions, but her past lives she can’t remember doesn’t help. At points in her life, she knows she will restart, so keeping to herself is the best thing to do. But it always easier said than done.
When Ryan finds his mate, and it ends up being Mackenzie, what will happen to these two characters during this struggle of magic and love?
I loved this story and what a debut it is. I can’t wait to see what is next.
Wonderful read! Would recommend this to anyone who reads this genre- can’t wait for the next book in the series!
This book blew me away! You can not put it down, I love all the details and descriptions that went into this story. The dynamics between the characters is enough to set your whole body on fire!!! It has alot of sizzle to it, so go out and grab this book if your looking for next sexy shifter book!!
This was a great read that starts off with you wondering where it will go (I loved the diary part when Mac first takes a breather after going on the run) and then everything starts to interweave creating a story that pulls you in and wanting to know what will happen next. The change of POV’s is done smoothly and allows you to get to know and see what motivates the main characters as well as the peripheral characters. I really liked Mac’s strong character as well as how she had the vulnerability and confusion in regards to what she is and whats happening and to be fair if I heard voices in my head I would think I was going a bit bat sh*t crazy! Bring on book 2 as I can’t wait to see what happens next!!!!
First book i’ve read by this author but definitely won’t be the last , waking up naked in front of a burning building is shock enough for most people but when Mackenzie starts hearing a voice in her head telling her to run , then finding notes from herself she really thought she was going more than a little bit crazy but that was nothing compared to the crazy to come . A paranormal book lovers dream with plenty of great characters who have stories of their own , as well as Mackenzie trying to sort out what the hell is happening to her . Slow at times but when the pace picks up the pages fly past , so many twists your head will spin , bring on book 2 quickly please .
This is a wonderful story. Mackenzie wakes up standing naked in front of a burning building with a voice in her head telling her to run. She lands in a small town and finds a job as a barista.
Ryan is the fire Chief and alpha bear shifter and he can’t deny the call of his mate, Mackenzie.
As you read you get the chance to learn about Mackenzie as she is learning about herself. When the danger increases so does her affection toward the local bear shifter crew.
5 stars. Super fun read. Can’t wait for the next.
I loved this book. There was so much girl power. The love connection between the MCs was HOTT! There was plenty of action and suspense. The storyline kept your interest and i just loved how the story progressed. I cant wait to read more from this author.
