Stone Bears #2
Phoenix
A horrific injury has left bear shifter Uriel traumatized and unable to speak to his bear. With the growing evil in Genesis Valley making him desperate to heal, Uriel will do anything to return to active duty. After finally seeking aid, Uriel realizes the intelligent and confident woman who has agreed to help him may just be the key to his problem. Maintaining a professional demeanor is crucial to Sydney Hightower's job. But when the clearly hurting Uriel walks through her door, she has no idea what's in store for her. The electric connection between them throws her off guard and makes her question whether she can truly maintain her distance from him. Reconnecting with his bear seems impossible, hastening Uriel's downward spiral. An unknown traitor in his crew's midst is threatening to undo everything they have been working for, and Uriel will need to grow whole and heal if he is to help his crew survive. But can Uriel use his budding romance with Sydney to rise from the ashes and help save the Valley?

I love both the Jade Crew and the Stone Bears series. This book is not an exception to that. I really enjoyed it. Stone Bear: Phoenix is very different from most of the bear shifter books you read. We know bear shifters as being so stong, fast, tough, and able-bodied. In this book, Uriel had lost one of his arms in a fight. It was very different seeing him feeling worthless, not being able to protect others, not being able to communicate with his bear, having a disability. It is a wonderful story of watching him being stronger in a different way to overcome this, with the help of Dr. Highpower, that would be a female Dr. Highpower. The chemistry between them is immediate, but how can he know if she is his mate, if he can not communicate with his bear. There is also lots of suspense in this book as the problems in Genesis Valley continue. I received this book from the author in return for an honest review. This book could be read as a standalone, but it will be so much better if you read them in the order recommended by the author.

Overcoming Challenges while finding love
Uriel, Stone Bear shifter, was badly injured while fighting for his Genesis Valley and those important to him. I loved Uriel, his determination and fight to regain his place with the Stone Bears is inspiring. The help and encouragement he gets from his physical therapist, Sydney, also allows him to realize his worth to her and his community. Loved that Sydney has a dog, Bruce, but wished his involvement in the story was a bit more consistent. But overall, the story is fast paced and interesting. An endearing love story about overcoming disability, while providing plenty of action & sexy times.

Juicy story!
This story is the turning point in the Jade Crew/Stone Bears series.
Definitely suggest reading them in order.
Enjoyed reading this story except for a few oops like Uriel waving both arms or Uriel calling the Third Crew the Second Crew.
Good series.

This is the second story of this series but it goes along with the Jade Crew series. So if we follow both then this would make it #6! This author is very talented. Her 📕📕📕 are fantastic.

While not as good as the previous book it was still good. The story was a wick read and was worth the time.

The stone bear series has been more fun than I was expecting, the story line's have been creative, the caricatures have depth, the editing is lacking, but all in a fun read.

Absolutely loved it.
I received an ARC for an honest review.
I loved this story. I felt like it was a bit deeper than the first stone bear book (although I loved that book as well). This dealt more with overcoming limitations and finding good in life no matter what you're dealt.
This world that has been created is so fascinating, the Jade bear series introduced us to it and pulled me in right away. It seems in every shifter romance the plot is as follows... Fall in love, deny you're in love, accept it, lie to each other or misunderstand something, leave, come back together... This is not the case here. Uriel is dealing with a horrific life changing incident and he needs help, he finds it in Sydney the physical therapist (I think) who just happens to he his mate. They feel it from the moment they see each other. There is no denial, no game playing. They lay it all on the line and I loved that. Uriel is having a hard time because as a sentinel and bear shifter he needs to be able to fight and now he feels he is a liability, what good can a bear with 3 paws do? Worse than that, what good can a 1 armed shifter who can't reach his bear do? Sydney helps Uriel find himself again, not without struggle.
Sydney is strong, brave and absolutely not willing to let Uriel fall into his own pit of despair. Uriel see something in Sydney that makes him want to fight harder and dig his way out. By the end of this book I was half in love with Uriel myself and I cannot wait for the next book.

I received this for a honest review. Such a perfect title for the book. I am so glad to see a story come out on Uriel. He has been through so much. I can not imagine how incomplete he truly feels. To be a shifter with only 3 limbs has to be hard.
Uriel needs inward healing. He has to feel less of a person. His alpha does not use him because at the moment until he gets his head on straight he is no help. Uriel can not shift. The battle that he must be feeling along with the pain his bear must of feel.
We can have people tells us we need help until the are blue in the face but until that person is ready for healing and facing the tragedy that they have faced it does no good. Uriel was ready to face his demons. He wanted to be a help to his crew. His missed the work that he did.
I loved the first meeting between Dr Sydney Hightower. She does not look at him with pity. She truly cares and wants to help him over come his limitations. They are attracted to each other off the bat. Sydney will have a lot to learn about him, the question is is she ready to face everything he has done and has to do as a shifter in Genesis Valley.
The Stone bears are still trying to find the mole in their group. There is still strange things going on that they must get to the bottom of. They need to find out who is behind all that is going on. Uriel and the Stone bears are going to face some challenges and I can not wait to see what is to come.

I came into this world in a later book than this one and I am starting from the beginning to catch up. I am enjoying the journey very much.
Though I know what is coming it is still a pleasure to get more understanding and build-up of the background story. I was impressed once again by this authors world building and how she ties in these separate series to flow and intertwine with each other
I am so sorry I have not read this book earlier. Really enjoyed the connection between URIEL and Sydney, their banter was fun.
I am so glad URIEL is learning to live with the horrible thing that happened to him due to Caia's stupidness in book 1. He is learning to compensate in such remarkable ways. His idea of using dart guns was fabulously clever and reconnecting with his bear was sweet.
Sydney is one smart cookie and stood her ground, calling URIEL out when he was being a stupid male.
Things are getting interesting with the background story too.

Stone Bear: Phoenix (Stone Bears, #2)
by Amelia Jade
Uriel is a Stone bear or at least he was until he lost his arm in a huge fight with other shifters, but that isn't all that he lost. Now he feels useless. He needs to get back some of what he lost and learn to function again. He finally goes to Dr. Hightower for help. She is more then willing to help him with his physical problem, but he hopes to get more then her medical care.
Sydney Hightower is a Physiotherapist. She helps people re-learn how to do things when recovering from various injuries that are life altering. Upon meeting Uriel she knows that he is going to be much more then a patient. She just needs to figure out what.

Love Prevails
Sydney and Uriel fall head over heels in love within 24 hours. Uriel lost his arm in a hugh fight and feeling sorry for himself, but his fellow workers convinced him to seek help. Sydney was the therapist he went to see and she was able to teach him some exercises that would help him regain some balance as well as learning how to do things with one hand. Uriel was kind of shy (silly ole bear) around her, but he wanted to get to know her on a personal level. One thing led to another within hours, and he knew she was his mate. Great story, wonderful characters, twists and turns galore to keep it interesting. Enjoy!

Uriel is a bear shifter who can't shift, after losing his arm. His boss convinces him to go to physical therapy to learn to improve his health and he reluctantly goes. Sydney is the human physiotherapist Uriel goes to see. The both feel an immediate connection when they touch and one thing leads to another. In the meantime, there is a traitor in the midst of the mine workers and Uriel feels useless in not being able to help. This was a quick, sexy read - 3.5 stars.

When Stone Bear, Uriel, lost an arm in a conflict, he was having trouble coming to grips with the handicap. He came to realize he needed medical help to overcome the lose of the limb. He sought out the physical therapist, and with the good doctors help, he found out that he had a lot more going for himself than thought. I don't want to give away the whole story. As with all Amelia Jades books, there is a bit of mystery, a bit of romance and sexual encounters.

A nice read
Has some violence, Some hanky pancky and lots angst. You meet a bear shifter with physical limitations, trying to find new ways to be of help to the others he's worked with in the past.
Read and enjoy.

This book is hot!
This book should not be read on its own, it continues a storyline from the previous book and the previous series. However if you have read those books this is a really good book actually it might be my favorite book in this series.

Another great one.
I just love the action in all of these Stone Bear series. This one is about Uri and Sydney. I found this one a little more interesting due to Uri's handicap. Sydney is the doctor that's helping him to recover.
