Pyre: A Motorcycle Club Romance

by Cathleen Cole, Frank Jensen

She’s never felt as though she belonged until she met him—but trust is a fragile thing, and he's about to find out exactly how easily it breaks…

Rae
Being Sentinel's medical examiner and funeral home owner has never won me any popularity contests. Most people find me unsettling. But Pyre has never looked at me like I'm strange. When he finally stops watching from a distance and makes his move, I let myself believe that maybe two weird people can make something real together. Then I find out something he did and suddenly I don't know if his interest in me was ever genuine. Was I ever more than what I could provide for his club? Now I have to figure out if the one man who made me feel worthy was lying to my face the whole time.

Pyre
I've wanted Rae for years. Watched over her quiet, strange, beautiful world from a distance, waiting for the right moment. I'm a former Navy Corpsman—I know how to be patient, how to assess a situation before moving in. When I finally make my move, it's real. Every bit of it. She's the only person who's ever made sense to me, two oddball pieces that fit together in a way neither of us ever expected. But the club has business that won’t wait while you fall in love, and I made a decision I can't take back. One I told myself was necessary. One that made sense at the time—before I understood exactly what I stood to lose.

An old enemy is back in Sentinel, the danger is very real, and my woman is caught in the middle. We're going to have to fight like hell to build a life together—but only if she can forgive the one secret that might cost us everything.

Loved it!!

Pyre and Rae are a great couple. Similar in many ways and totally hot together. The other guys are crazy and sexy and can’t wait to read their stories!!

SPOILERS: from an ARC read!



Where do I start?!? WHERE DO I START!!!!! As always Cathleen and Frank have created another masterpiece! Rae and Pyre are just the perfect touch of kookiness I needed in my life! I’m personally now debating having a pet opossum and I wish Penny had a little more page time! I love that they always have such interesting animal sidekicks! I’m really interested to see how the storyline progresses with Forge! Also what was in the box? CATHLEEN WHAT WAS IN THE BOX?!?!

The only thing I wish was that some more of their backstories, especially Rae’s, was talked about and elaborated on! It feels like it just scratches the surface of both! I know that Cathleen will insert others backstories in other books as she did with Hush and I’m hoping something similar will happen this time around! Overall another phenomenal read and I know it will join the list of my yearly rereads!

I can't resist a good motorcycle romance, and PYRE was absolute perfection! 🔥 Seriously, I couldn't put it down. This book had it all: funny moments, steamy scenes, and action-packed thrills.

It hit all my favorite tropes:
✨ Found Family
💖 Possessive & protective MMC
🏡 Small town vibes
🤫 Secrets
👯‍♀️ Amazing friend group
🦝 Non-traditional pet (a possum!)
🧠 Beautiful, smart, and delightfully awkward FMC

This story follows Pyre and Rae. Pyre is a hot, broody, possessive, protective, and slightly unhinged biker who's also his MC's medic. Rae is the medical examiner and funeral director—beautiful, smart, guarded, and a bit awkward. Their chemistry is undeniable! I loved watching Pyre single-mindedly pursue Rae; he was totally committed, and I was absolutely here for it. They are perfectly matched. I highly recommend this book!

Pyre & Rae

Book 2 of The Berserkers Rage MC Wyoming Chapter and I am loving this series!
For me Cathleen and Franks books are an automatic purchase and read (I have even bought them all in paperback I enjoy them so much). These authors books are always well written and have moments of humour that carry through from their other books. I always laugh at mention of Toxic's song 😂
I really enjoyed Pyre and Rae's story, and the antics of her friends and his club brothers meant I couldn't put it down till I finished. Can't wait for the next book of this series ❤️

MC Romance
Alpha hero
Touch her and die
He falls first and hard
Made family

There’s nothing better then a good MC romance. This book at it all, danger, found family, laughs, trill and of course some good spice.

I did find this story a little slow at the beginning but once it picked up it was hard to put down. The relationship between all the brothers has me laughing. And I love the sister hood these girls are forming.

I also very enjoyed the sneak peek atJury and his old lady 🤭🤣

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another 5 star MC Book!!

I loved Raeleen and Pyre story. I'm so glad the Pyre's MC brothers helped him see how amazing his girl was and didn't let him keep staring at her from afar but make his move. Raeleen is not your typical girl in that she is a medical examiner and a badass to holding her own. She saves Owen and herself from some bad guys and Pyre is there to help but she is amazing. The writing is perfection.

[Wendy Livingstone · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great story!!

This is the second book in this impressive series and this is Pyre and Rae's story.I
This is a well written easy to read, action packed story, with found family, friendships, emotions, tension, challenges, secrets, humour, witty banter, revelations, trust, loyalty, undeniable chemistry, and love which leads to an entertaining, and unpredictable addictive page turner.
I look forward to reading more from these talented authors whose work I highly recommend.

[Abby Westling · Rating 4 out of 5]

I always love when the weird and quirky people get their love stories too. Rae is so unabashedly herself, maybe not so much in her past but in this book she demonstrated it beautifully. Pyre is his own brand of quirky too, but him and Rae mesh well together. I love their banter! I think Jury’s stunt at the end is going to take us on one hell of a ride.

[Courtney Jaggers · Rating 5 out of 5]

Never disappointed!!!

Devoured this book in 1 day!!! I love Pyre & Rae's story. I Love how you give each of these alpha males, their own personalities and how you can write and form all the different relationships between them. And I love the fact that these heroines that you write about are not meek and mild. They're badasses in their own right!! Can't wait for the next book!!

Pyre's Little Reaper

Rae just likes being her unusual self. She's a beautiful soul with her quirks that a lot of people don't understand. Pyre is his own unusual self and has been keeping his interest in Rae to himself until a bar incident and his brothers push his buttons. Can he convince Rae to give him a chance or will his secrets keep him away? Fantastic read.

[Lori · Rating 5 out of 5]

I just love Pyre and Raeleen's story. MC tropes are on of my favorite and the Berserker's Rage MC is at the top of my list. I love how possessive the guys are and the banter between them keeps me laughing.

[Erin Baer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cathleen Cole and Frank Jensen did not disappoint! Absolutely amazing! 🤩 Pyre is perfect for Raeleen. They are so cute! I couldn’t get enough of them. I never wanted to put it down. I need more from them…I didn’t get enough!

[Amy Penn · Rating 5 out of 5]

I just love these books

I look forward to these books so much. There’s romance, comedy, suspense! I just love this series and previous series so much. I hope this author never stops!

[Liz · Rating 5 out of 5]

So so so so good as always. I love how the two oddballs get together. It’s almost giving the same vibes as butcher and his old lady, but almost better. It’s always so hard for me to pick a favorite couple but I think this pairing will definitely be in the top

[Bob Jones · Rating 5 out of 5]

Morbidly romantic

Another fantastic action packed, banter filled romance that I couldn't put down.
Keep up the excellent work author. 👍
Definitely recommend a read.

[Denali · Rating 4 out of 5]

As always I LOVE this series, Pyre and Rae are too cute. Perfect mix of Romance and MC action without it getting too dark.

[Penny Penny · Rating 5 out of 5]

Always an awesome read! But, WHAT WAS IN THE BOX?!?!? Yes that was a whine. Love all the books! 🥰🥰

[Pamela Huggins · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great book

I really enjoyed this book. The characters are awesome and the storyline flows. I can't wait for the next book.

[Kelsey Lambart · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was so excited for this book!! Who knew that these men could get sweeter! I love Pyre! He is a man who knows what he wants and waited a while to get it! Spicy and strong this Fmc is everything he never knew he needed!!

[Terrie Romero · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’m in love. I love all of them but Pyre is close to number 1. He is a little huh disturbed but doesn’t hide his heart or sexiness. Rae is just the right amount of strange ( her way of thinking) for Pyre. I laughed in this book, yelled a couple of times and had a aha moment. I love this book.

[jamies_bookreads · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh Pyre you wicked man- I seriously need to stop adding you guys to my collection. But I’m going to claim you right along with Hush and Warrant.

Pyre & Rae could not be more perfect for one another. The MC brothers love giving Pyre a hard time about “death chick” Rae the local ME/mortician. He is all about taking his time. While Rae is all about not trusting someone who is as hot as him would want to be with a girl like her. What I love about them is how they go from awkward to HOT. However, the story is so action filled and full of events - it also seems like they take awhile to get there.

I absolutely love that this series continues to grow from book to book, much like the other chapters did. I also love how they all tie in together as well. That being said, you do not need to read all of the past chapters to understand the stories. But I do suggest you start at the beginning of each chapter of the different MCs.

With the ending it has me so excited for the next book, and for their Pres reaction 🤣😂!

[Angela Andrea · Rating 5 out of 5]

As an MC girlie and a fan of Cathleen and Frank I absolutely devoured this book.

This is book two in The Berserker's Rage MC: Wyoming chapter and it did not disappoint.

Pyre is in the MC and he's a little unhinged but they make the best book boyfriends. He is a collector and its truly an art.....

Rae is a shy medical examiner and mortician with a pure heart. She's unique in her own way and Pyre has been attracted to her for 3 years. Rae's pet opossum Penny is adorable and its very fitting that she would be the pet that Rae has. Once Pyre decides to go for Rae he's all in and when Rae is taken he does whatever necessary to get her back. Of course he screws up along the way and I love that Rae doesn't instantly go back to Pyre but makes him wait.

The other MC brothers and Rae's BFFs made this book hilarious, I can't wait to read the other MC books and find out which of Rae's friends or newbies they claim.

xoxo Scythes girl lol

[Lexie Parizek · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cathleen Cole and Frank Jensen write some of my all time favorite MC romance books. I’ve read each book they’ve put out more than once. I had a feeling that the Berserker’s Rage MC would be my favorite and so far I know I’m right!
You see them in a previous series and this builds on this chapters relationships. They are so crazy it keeps you on your toes while also cracking up. But dang do they love hard!

Pyre (MMC) and Rae (FMC) are two people who show you that you should always be yourself and if people don’t like you for you then don’t settle. They both have reputations for be “different”, but are both amazing people. Rae is so freaking sweet and Pyre loves her with everything. They found a love in each other that makes you believe in that saying “there’s someone for everyone”. They deserve each other and I can’t wait to see their relationship keep playing out.

Thank you Cathleen Cole & Frank Jensen for the early copy - all opinions are my own!!

Spoilers - from an ARC read
I absolutely loved Pyre 🔥
I absolutely love Rea . She’s quirky, chaotic, funny, and just a little unhinged in the best way — and I loved every second of it. Her matching Pyre’s freak so effortlessly was honestly the best part of the book. Their dynamic just worked. The banter, the tension, the chemistry… it was such a fun read!
Pyre is exactly the kind of slightly feral man I love in an MC romance!
Also… I’m already fully invested in Forge and his book isn’t even here yet. I cannot wait to discover more about him throughout the series because I have a feeling his story is going to wreck me in the best way.
Such a fun read and now I’m just sitting here impatiently waiting for Jury’s story. 🔥📚

[Skyler · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book I could not put it down. I have enjoyed the Wyoming Chapter so much and I am beyond excited to see Cypher and Torque’s books come. Pyre and Rae I fell in love with them and their little weirdo personality. They absolutely fit perfectly together and Cathleen and Frank did such an amazing job with their story. The story had a very easy flow that you are able to put the book down for a while and then pick it back up and still feel encapsulated by the story. In all honesty I will forever recommend the whole MC series to people.

[Maelle C · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series is only two books in and it’s already getting better and better. Honestly, these Berserker’s Rage guys are completely unhinged… and I love every second of it.

Cathleen Cole and Frank Jensen always manage to create stories that feel perfectly balanced. The dialogue is sharp, the characters feel real, and the mix of romance, action, angst, and emotion just works. Their books always pull me in so easily and keep me hooked until the very last page.

Pyre is exactly the kind of chaotic biker you’d expect from this MC — intense, a little unhinged, and absolutely relentless once he decides he wants something. And what he wants is Rae, the town’s medical examiner and mortician.

But this isn’t an impulsive attraction. Pyre has been watching her from a distance for three years before finally making a move. And when he does, it’s clear he’s all in.

Rae — also known as “death chick” — was such a great heroine. She’s shy, a little awkward, completely outside the norm, and totally unapologetic about who she is. She doesn’t fit into any box, and that’s exactly why she works so perfectly with Pyre. Their dynamic is a mix of awkward, intense, and surprisingly hot once things finally get going.

I also really loved how the overall plot continues to develop alongside the romance without taking over the story. It keeps the tension building for the rest of the series while still letting Pyre and Rae’s relationship shine.

I discovered Cathleen Cole and Frank Jensen about three years ago, and they’ve never disappointed me. If anything, each book makes me love their worlds even more.

And now that I’ve finished this one… I only have one thought left:

What the hell is in that damn box?!

[Katherine · Rating 5 out of 5]

I fell completely in love with Rae and Pyre! I loved the Morticia and Gomez Adams vibes these two had going. Rae seems like she’s the quite shy type but underneath she has a core of steel that fights back! The silly banter between the MC Brothers and Rae’s group of girls had the story flowing and with how they both admired each other from afar from the very beginning of seeing each other made it impossible to put down!!. Definitely another storyline to add to my top favorites.

[Allie Felske · Rating 5 out of 5]

These two are absolutely adorable… in a creepy/hangout-in-a-cemetary kind of way, but adorable none the less. I love a story where the MMC finds the FMC quirks to be endearing and even shares some of them. Pyre is the definition of “touch her and die” while Rae has a huge heart with a secret sneaky side. This is a must read!

[Rachel Stephens · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved Raeleen and Pyre's story!
These two were just so perfect for each other. They each had their own quirks. The chemistry and spice was great.
Their story had a bit of action, some emotional moments, humor, and tension. I also love the found family and friendships.
Another great read by Cathleen and Frank!

[Nine Cats · Rating 3 out of 5]

It sounded better in the blurb. The thing is that when you build the romance background in the previous book there’s not much to build in the actual characters book anymore. So to make a story longer you add some hang ups that are nor very convincing, which made the story a bit dull.
