Review on: Chasing Fire by Nora Roberts
Once again I've read the great Ms. Roberts. And she always manages to keep me on the edge of my seat. Why can't I write like that? I wish I knew how she does it. I loved Chasing Fire, I didn't know much about fire jumping, but Ms. Roberts makes it interesting even as she tells a compelling story.
Here's the blurb (Again borrowed from her web site)
There's little as thrilling as firefighting-at least to Rowan Tripp. The Missoula smoke jumpers are in Rowan's blood: her father is a legend. 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.
Fortunately, this year's rookie crop is one of 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 kids' arcade.
Everything is thrown off balance 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 mean the end-but if she doesn't find someone she can lean on, she may not make it through the summer. . .
Take about living on the edge. How do real people do it? The only complaint I have, once again, are that the characters do seem very similar to some of her other stories. But I still read them because I can't seem to get enough. I would recommend this to anyone who loves to read!

I ordered the first book of her new series, The Inn Boonsboro Trilogy on audible... "The historic hotel in BoonsBoro, Maryland, has endured war and peace, changing hands, even rumored hauntings. Now it's getting a major facelift from the Montgomery brothers and their eccentric mother." Amazon...
I ordered her first book also. I can't wait!
And Nora Roberts Inn her and her husband restored and now has opened, I'd love to stay there!
