For women who walk through fire
Lieutenant Elena Gonzales has spent her life running away from her past and into the flames. Decorated, respected, and untouchable, she’s Barcelona’s most composed firefighter. Until journalist Maya Carter walks into her station with a recorder, a sharp tongue, and a story that’s supposed to be about bravery.
What starts as a forced assignment becomes something neither of them expects — a connection forged through smoke, loss, and banter over coffee. But when tragedy strikes, Elena’s walls shatter, and Maya finds herself holding more than just a story.
Now their love faces the same question as every call Elena
when the world around you burns, what do you choose to save — your duty, your truth, or each other?
BURN PROTOCOL is a slow-burn sapphic romance about courage, vulnerability, and the women who walk through fire to help rise each other from the ashes.

A beautifully balanced slow burn full of heart and heat
What a story. This book delivers the perfect mix of sweetness and excitement, keeping you wanting more from beginning to end. It’s a wonderfully crafted slow burn with just the right amount of build-up leading to the inevitable relationship between Elena and Maya. Every moment feels intentional, and the pacing allows their connection to unfold naturally and beautifully.
The tension between Elena and Maya is utterly captivating, and their chemistry is completely off the charts. There’s a seamless blend of tender, heartfelt moments and well-placed spice throughout the book that makes their journey even more satisfying. I was thoroughly invested in their story and genuinely couldn’t put this book down.
The side characters each made their own mark on the story and had a meaningful impact on both Elena and Maya, individually and together. I really enjoyed getting to know everyone and watching the relationships develop across the board—it added depth and richness to an already engaging narrative.
Thank you, Mira, for the opportunity to read your fantastic book. I’m so excited to see what you have in store next—if this story is anything to go by, sign me up for whatever you have coming down the pipeline.

I want to thank Mira that I had the honor to get an ARC of Burn Protocol and could read it before the publication. I chose to preorder it myself too because I want to support her as a small indie author.
I enjoyed the chemistry between Maya and Elena that is there right from the start, even if both try to deny and repress it. The slow burn and building up of the relationship is done in an easy way that it felt very natural to me. The witty banter between Maya and Elena is so enjoyable to me and makes the book the great read it is. Mira writes their emotions in a way that I could relate to the protagonists and could really feel their emotions in my heart, which made me cry, laugh, and have a lot of fun reading Burn Protocol.
The book contains spicy parts. I do not always enjoy spice in books, but here it felt right and very well written. I could feel their need and pleasure, and it is filled with the same wit and banter as the rest of the book.
There are some heavy topics in the book and as someone that has experienced trauma, it can be heavy to read parts of the book. The description of trauma and anxiety does match how I feel with them which made the book even more relatable to me. It shows that people with trauma can love and be loved and are not “broken”.
It shows how private relationships get complicated when they interfere with work and when ethics come into play. The book shows that authors can write characters that are working for a better world without being on the nose with the messaging.
I recommend the book to readers that like sapphic books with some spice, that show a healthy relationship with the problems that can come with it. The book will burn you but when you finish it you will crave for Moore.

Ich möchte Mira danken, dass ich die Chance hatte, ein ARC von Burn Protocol zu erhalten und es schon vor der Veröffentlichung lesen durfte. Ich habe mich auch entschieden, es selbst vorzubestellen, weil ich sie als Indie-Autorin unterstützen möchte.
Ich habe die Chemie zwischen Maya und Elena genossen, die von Anfang an spürbar ist, selbst wenn beide versuchen, sie zu leugnen und zu unterdrücken. Das langsame Aufbauen der Beziehung ist so gestaltet, dass es sich für mich sehr natürlich angefühlt hat. Das schlagfertige Geplänkel zwischen Maya und Elena hat mir unglaublich viel Spaß gemacht und macht das Buch zu einem großartigen Leseerlebnis. Mira beschreibt ihre Gefühle auf eine Weise, die mir den Protagonistinnen sehr nahegebracht hat. Ich konnte ihre Emotionen richtig in meinem Herzen fühlen, was mich beim Lesen von Burn Protocol zum lachen und weinen gebracht hat und das lesen hat mir viel Spaß gemacht.
Das Buch enthält auch einige spicy Szenen. Normalerweise mag ich solche Szenen in Büchern nicht immer, aber hier haben sie sich richtig angefühlt und waren sehr gut geschrieben. Ich konnte ihr Verlangen und ihre Lust fühlen, und die Szenen sind genauso voller Witz und Charme wie der Rest des Buches.
Es gibt auch einige schwere Themen in diesem Buch, und als jemand, der selbst Traumata erlebt hat, waren manche Stellen schwer zu lesen. Die Beschreibung von Trauma und Angstzuständen entspricht meinem eigenen Empfinden und hat das Buch für mich noch greifbarer gemacht. Es zeigt, dass Menschen mit Trauma lieben und geliebt werden können und nicht „kaputt“ sind.
Es zeigt auch, wie private Beziehungen kompliziert werden, wenn sie mit der Arbeit kollidieren und ethische Fragen ins Spiel kommen. Das Buch beweist, dass Autor*innen Figuren erschaffen können, die für eine bessere Welt kämpfen, ohne dass die Botschaft zu aufdringlich wird.
Ich empfehle das Buch allen, die sapphische Geschichten mit etwas spice mögen, die eine gesunde Beziehung zeigen, mit all den Problemen, die dazugehören.

300 pages in and I am absolutely- wrecked- in the best way! Burn Protocol doesn’t just tell a love story it ignites one! The romance is a slow burn, but tastefully paced, and in parts feels like you are holding your breath under water knowing on the next page air will come. But when that heat finally comes it’s not just steamy, it’s intimate, and makes it hit every inch inside of you. You truly feel the heart under the heat. It shows vulnerability and is truly intoxicating. The writer knows how to word things to get under your skin, pulling you in, the fears- the longing- the desperation… Fire… Desire… I keep telling myself one more chapter, and then it’s 3am, hours slipped away. This story makes my chest ache, palms sweaty, & places tingle that I will keep to myself, but with all this it is in the best way that only exquisite romance stories can achieve. If the first 300 pages are any indication how my experience is, this isn’t just a simple love story. It is an emotional journey within a wildfire fully consuming me. I literally am already grieving the moment that I will turn my last page of this book because I don’t want it to end. I love it, clearly Author Mira Moore you know what you are doing. Exceptionally talented, and you should be extremely proud of yourself. Congratulations you have an epic wonder on your hands that I can’t get enough of. UPDATE- Hours later I have since finished this masterpiece! I am now going into a state of depression because it is over. Author- please continue this story I need book 2!!! && fast!! Readers- Trust me you will not be disappointed. This is a story you won’t want to put down. 🔥🔥🔥

I loved the characters, the settings (think I should def go to Barcelona now), and the spice is very nice. I loved how the author tackled issues of women in predominantly male jobs (and how they kick ass!), the complexity of finding love and having a career, and how a sapphic romance fits snuggly into the mix.
It's well researched, well written, and shows all the promises of a future series (here's hoping! 🤞 ). Highly recommended!
