CHASING FIRE A member of an elite team of hotshot firefighters called the Zulies, Rowan Tripp lives for the adrenalin rush she gets when fighting the fiery dragon. Rowan also battles a recurring nightmare stemming from a terrible tragedy that occurred the previous season. Gulliver Curry is a rookie Zulie. Being a smoke jumper gives him a rush. The fastest runner on the team, he is nicknamed Fast Feet. Gull is immediately attracted to Rowan and is persistent in his pursuit of her. As the fire season heats up in Montana and the surrounding states, the Zulies must face off against the dragon on an almost daily basis. A sadly deranged, grieving woman blames Rowan for the death of her lover. When the charred remains of a body are discovered, tension mounts even higher. As the police investigation proceeds, secrets are uncovered, alibis are scrutinized, and loyalties are questioned. This season, Rowan takes some hard knocks and comes to accept some uncomfortable truths. She also discovers that, just as nature’s beauty rebounds, even amidst a scorched and blackened landscape, so too, love flourishes when nurtured with patience, humor and fortitude. Nora Roberts launches the reader right into the thick of the excitement of being one of the elite smoke jumpers. The commitment and dedication of the men and women battling on the front lines against the raging infernos of monstrous forest fires is brought fully to life and unflinchingly realized in this compelling novel that is also a heartfelt tribute to those brave individuals. The story is complex but easy to follow as Nora Roberts proves, once again, her ability to masterfully weave numerous sub-plots, motives, and characters into a wholly satisfying reading experience. The characters are believable and, for the most part, sympathetic. I quickly became invested in them – their triumphs and their heartbreaks. This well-researched and absorbing extreme adventure romance is sure to appeal wildly to a broad cross-section of readers. This is a must-buy, must-read addition to your Nora Roberts shelf. Laurie
