Chasing Fire

By: Nora Roberts

Narrated by: Rebecca Lowman

Length: 15 hrs and 10 mins

Publisher's summary

In this #1 New York Times bestseller, Nora Roberts delves into the world of elite firefighters who thrive on danger and adrenaline—men and women who wouldn’t know how to live life if it wasn’t on the edge.

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 firefighting 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 kids’ 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.

Any additional comments?
This is a very good book about smoke jumpers that risk all every day on the job. Rowen, a take control woman is a smoke jumper who's got it in her blood from her iron man father. He a single parent raised his daughter alone and is very proud of her. Someone blames Rowen for a death of a fellow jumper which leads to murders and the battle of not only Mother Nature but man too. This book had me rite from the beginning. What more can you ask for, strong woman lead, action, romance, and murder. Rowen breaks one of her own rules by falling for a rookie jumper. Of course Gull is the hottest and best rookie at camp. He works very hard to romance Rowen and wins her over. Roberts did it again with this book, one of my favorite one. "Witness" is also on my list of favorites. The narrator Rebecca Lowman does a great job on this book. She is creative with her characters, very talented and a joy to listen to. She does a super job w/ all the male characters making my windshield time fly by. I will look for more of her work.

Recommend it!

I enjoyed this story very much. The audio performance was really good as well. Definitely suggest you listen and/or read this one!

The best so far

Makes me want to be a fire jumper! One of the best I’ve read so far. Love the main female character so much! This one is suspenseful, romantic, and just plain funny!
