Read August 2018.
Chasing Fire is just the kind of Nora Roberts that I like. Although her out and out romance books do nothing for me, I do enjoy her thrillers (with a bit of Montana romance thrown in!).
This one follows the lives of the Missoula smoke jumpers - the hot-shot fire fighters that tackle forest wildfires in western USA.
Rowan Tripp has been fighting wildfires since she was eighteen, following in the footsteps of her legendary father, but since the accidental death of her partner, she's not so sure of herself anymore.
Enter rookie cop and wannabe smoke jumper, Gulliver Curry. Rowan is suddenly thrown off balance and when a dark force threatens, she needs to be able to rely on Gull when it counts.
This book was a bit of a slow starter, but liked the strong women characters, and it was good once the story got going.
I learnt a lot about the brave souls that fight forest wildfires. Respect to those brave men and women.
