Publisher Description
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. But there’s also little else as thrilling—at least to Rowan Tripp. Being a Missoula smoke jumper is in Rowan’s blood: her father is a legend in the field. 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.
One of the best of this year’s rookie crop, Gulliver Curry is a walking contradiction, a hotshot firefighter with a big vocabulary and a winter job at a kids’ arcade. And though Rowan, as a rule, doesn’t hook up with other smoke jumpers, Gull is convinced he can change her mind...
But 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 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.

"Chasing Fire is my favorite Nora Roberts book so far. It is face-paced (as they all are), well-organized, believable, interesting, educational. I almost gave it a four because it has some of the same flaws the other books have, but I was too interested in what was going on to stoop to a four. Rowan Trip is a veteran Smoke Jumper, and her father, Iron Man Tripp, is a legend in his own lifetime. Fighting fires is dangerous, exhausting and dirty work, but when murders and sabotage occur, Rowan and the rookie Gulliver and their team find themselves fighting danger on two fronts, and lives are threatened and lost. Exciting. It's still a romance on two fronts, when Ella gets a gift of a parachute jump for her birthday. The main characters are a little too good to believe. But still, I liked it."

" I read this book while flying to Europe. It was an easy read, good story line, and the ending was a shock. I never saw what was coming. "
— Jeanne, 2/19/2014 -
" This book was just as dark as the first two. It's a story of people killing other people to survive. I really thought that there were so many other possibilities that would have enhanced the storyline greatly and was disappointing at how simple it turned out to be. "
— Janel, 2/16/2014 -
" Loved it. Scary to think that there are people that do this for a real job. What a great read. The characters were well written and story was very intense. Def recommend this book. "
— Sunshine, 1/22/2014 -
" I'm not necessarily into fire jumping, but I appreciate Roberts always taking different approaches to her novels. I didn't really care for the lead character until halfway through the novel when her behavior was explained. "
— Doreen, 1/21/2014 -
" Haven't read a Nora Roberts in awhile and this was a good one! Lots of intrigue and mystery (and yes some romance and sex as well, but not an exorbitant amount. "
— Mairin, 1/10/2014 -
" Really liked the main characters of this story and the backdrop. I keep thinking of some of the more memorable lines in my spare time :-) "
— Suzanne, 1/2/2014 -
" Very informative on what fire jumpers do and how they do it. Not her strongest book, but pretty good. "
— Tinav, 12/21/2013 -
" 1 of the best books I have ever read! Must read! "
— Lani, 12/16/2013 -
" I have read many of Nora Roberts books, which I have truly enjoyed. I must admit I was truly disappointed with this book. It almost felt like she struggle writing this book. It appeared that there were a lot of fillers making the book drag. I was very happy when I finally finished this one. "
— Sylvia, 11/27/2013 -
" Was the 2nd Nora Roberts i read and although the lifetime movies of her books make me think these women are poor defenseless (or crazy) women: I was surprised that i really enjoyed this book. The heroine is strong, the characters have a purpose and it has a surprise ending... Great book! "
— Diana, 11/16/2013 -
" Nice easy read by Nora Roberts, was able to figure out ending half way through book, but stuck with it to see if I was right. A good read, but not a MUST read. "

" True Nora Roberts style! Draws you into the story and in this case, one can almost smell the fires in Montana! "
— Vickey, 3/11/2013 -
" For the most part just as enjoyable as all NR books but a some poor reasoning in the love story and really poor reasoning in the killer's story ...just have to mark it up to completely masked insanity - too unbelievable. "
— Karen, 2/18/2013 -
" Really loved this book. The look into the world of fire jumpers was fascinating. The romance was believable. No over the top problems to get between the two main characters. "
— Teresa, 12/20/2012 -
" Typical Roberts novel, good characters, suspense and a little romance (i.e. One sex scene). The ending was a little abrupt for me but I enjoyed learning more about smoke jumpers as my husband use to be a Hot Shot back in the day. "
— Mommyreview.com, 11/18/2012 -
" This is the first book that I have read by Nora Roberts, and what a book - brilliant - had me glued! Follow up would be great "

— Cortney, 3/28/2012 -

— Lynne, 9/25/2011 -
" Form me It was hard to get into the story. "
— Megan, 7/9/2011 -
" Fantastic--I read it in one day because I couldn't put it down. I kind of knew how it was going to end about 30 pages in, but Nora Roberts writes so well, it never matters. Great book. "
— Monica, 5/23/2011 -
" I didn't love it. I usually love Nora Roberts. She, along with Doritos, is my guilty pleasure. However, not as good as her usual offerings. "
— Amanda, 5/22/2011 -
" right now I love this book and I'm nearing finished. "
— Kat, 5/21/2011 -
" Not up to her usual excellent standard. Just too much technical detail this time... "
— Karen, 5/20/2011 -
" Not as brilliant as others by her. The characters were a tad flat, and the main character a little annoying. The mystery part was decent. "
— Jessica, 5/19/2011 -
" pretty good. liked the fact that Nora bits us places that we don't normally see. "
— Dionne, 5/17/2011 -
" I as a rule really enjoy Nora Roberts for light reading, but this is far from her best. A few of her metaphors in this book are insipid. "
— Sandra, 5/17/2011 -

— Meredith, 5/17/2011 -
