Chasing Fire/ Nora Roberts/ 472 pgs.



This new book (at least I finally got it) is pretty exciting. It is about smoke jumpers in Montana. Actually, there are smoke jumpers in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Arizona, Alaska and places where there are forest fires. These people have to be adrenaline junkies as the parachute into the middle of forest fires and then try to put out the fires from the ground. I can't picture really doing that, but then I work at a library. What's going to happen? --book avalanche?

Anyway, the heroine, Rowan, is a hot, smoke jumpin' , Nordic Goddess type, but doesn't do relationships (aha! character flaw!)


Enter Rookie Gulliver - new to smoke jumping, but also hot. He works on having a relationship with Rowan and with true Nora Roberts style that relationship gets steamy and enters fantasy realm.


This time, there is mystery, murder, quite a few descriptions of being in a forest fire, and in all, quite satisfying.
