Chasing Fire
Nora does it again. Chasing Fire has all of the elements I love about her books. Great chemistry between the lead characters, interesting secondary characters, and a good mystery to round it out. Coming in at almost 500 pages, there is a lot packed into this book. You can tell that Ms. Roberts did a lot of research about the Fire Jumpers. After reading Chasing Fire, I have a whole new respect for the men and women who fight forest fires. You have to be very gutsy to do that job! The fire scenes were exciting and kept me on my toes. As for the msytery, I had an idea of who it might be causing all of the problems, but I wasn't really 100% sure until the reveal. Rowan and Gulliver are very well fleshed out characters. Both are strong people and compliment each other well. I really believed their relationship and fall into love. There is another secondary romance between Rowan's father, Lucas, and his jump student, Ella, that is so sweet and endearing that it made my heart melt. Along with the romantic relationships, I enjoyed the comraderie between the firefighters.
