Description In Favor Of Books Chasing Fire
Little else in life is as dangerous as fire jumping. Flying past towering pillars of smoke, parachuting down to the edge of an all-consuming blaze, shoveling and sawing for hours upon hours, days at a time, all to hold the line and push back against the raw power of Mother Nature.But there's also little else as thrilling - at least to Rowan Tripp. The Missoula smoke jumpers are one of the most exclusive fire-fighting squads in the nation, and the job is in Rowan's blood: her father is a legend in the field. She's been fighting fires since her eighteenth birthday. At this point, returning to the wilds of Montana for the season feels like coming home - even with reminders of the partner she lost last season still lingering in the air.
Fortunately, this year's rookie crop is among the strongest ever - and Gulliver Curry's one of the best. He's also a walking contradiction, a hotshot firefighter with a big vocabulary and a winter job at a kid's arcade. He came to Missoula to follow in the footsteps of Lucas "Iron Man" Tripp, yet he's instantly more fascinated by his hero's daughter. Rowan, as a rule, doesn't hook up with other smoke jumpers, but Gull is convinced he can change her mind. And damn if he doesn't make a good case to be an exception to the rule.
Everything is thrown off balance, though, when a dark presence lashes out against Rowan, looking to blame someone for last year's tragedy. Rowan knows she can't complicate things with Gull - any distractions in the air or on the ground could be lethal. But if she doesn't find someone she can lean on when the heat gets intense, her life may go down in flames.

5 Blazing Stars! I loved everything about this bookand then some!!So much to love about this story!! First and foremostGulliver Curry! I really enjoyed his character. He wasnt always front and center in the plot, but he had such a strong presence, that he carried a lot of the book. He handled Rowan with ease, and she was not an easy woman to handle. His determination to be with her was so sexy, he was dominant, but not in a demanding way. He set his sights on her and wormed his way into her★★★★½ (Review of audiobook.) It is one thing to fight a forest fire and another thing all together to parachute into one; however, that is exactly what the Missoula Smoke Jumpers do. Nora Roberts has decided to write a story that follows several storylines of these select heroes and manages a murder mystery to boot. Rebecca Lowman does an excellent job of narrating this one, keeping the voice inflections varied enough for me to differentiate the multiple characters. I enjoyed Rowan Tripp
I've been on a re-reading spree recently, anyone else try something familiar? Nora Roberts explores new territory with this one. She introduces you to the brave, dangerous world of smoke jumpers and you can see the action unfold.Rowan was tough, loyal and guarded.Gulliver Curry was charming, clever, strong with bottomless patience. And romantic.Somehow he made me think of gentle giants, instant noodles and spicy food. The murders in this book were, personal, brutal and the crew was full of

Oh yeah! Just as great as I remembered it!Original review stands: Can Nora Roberts do anything wrong? I learned so much about smoke jumpers - what they do, what they go through, their dedication to their work, how they put their lives on the line every time they jump to help put out a forest fire. That backdrop made for a thrilling story. And the romance was as hot as the fire! Yes, another winner from Nora Roberts. :)
I liked this book well-enough, though a lot of its elements arent really that interesting to me. As is common for Roberts books, the details of those things outside of common experience are researched well enough that they feel real in the lives of her characters. Im not a fire jumper and I dont know anybody who is, so I cant speak to how accurate they may be by themselves. But as part of the story they feel integral and important in ways that would be hard to pull off without a great deal of
I loved this one! My faith is officially renewed in Nora's Romantic suspense. This was an INTENSE read. The smoke jumping firefighting scenes were simply amazing. The research that Nora puts into her books just blows my mind. I swear, I was jumping out of planes and sweating it out on the ground. My heart was racing, adrenaline pumping...simply awesome, says I!!!Rowan is more of a tough chick than I normally like. She's living in a man's world, after all. But I never felt as if she got over the
Great read, as usual for Nora. Strong characters, good mystery, and snappy dialogue. Lots of action too.
