Kelsey Ford: 10 Books That Celebrate Women’s Rights and Women’s Wrongs (0 comment)
Sure, women’s rights have come a long way over the last century, but for every step forward, it feels like we take a few back, and when that feeling is so consistent, so insidious? Man, it makes me want to support women’s wrongs. On this list, you’ll find books about women’s rights — Gloria Steinem, Barbara Ehrenreich, Mary Beard...

The #1 New York Times bestselling author 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.

Review

Synopsis

The number-one New York Times-bestselling author 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.

There's little as thrilling as firefighting — at least to Rowan Tripp. The Missoula smoke jumpers are in Rowan's blood: her father is a legend. 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.

Fortunately, this year's rookie crop is one of 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.

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 mean the end — but if she doesn't find someone she can lean on, she may not make it through the summer....

Aother great Nora Roberts novel. I love ALL of her books. The minute you begin reading, she sets the right amount of uspense to grab you and keep you through the entire story. Her plotting is terrific and very plausible.

One of her best books ever and I have read every one of them. A mystery and romance all in one.

Chasing Fire was a step up from most of Nora Roberts' romances. The characters weren't as soft, they didn't hop into bed quite as fast, they lived very intense and real lives, and they dealt with some very difficult human challenges. It was an in depth look into the smokejumpers' world, and I think I learned a lot, reading it. I enjoyed the book very much, and it will go onto my "read it again in a year or two" list.

It was an okay read. Just didn't warm up to the characters as I did with other of her books. I am looking forward to the next quartet.

This was a delightful surprise in reading. The clarity and description of what a fire fighting base camp was like and the actual going into a fire were outstanding. In the traditional Nora Roberts there was the romantic couple but what was great is that she incorporated more than one. The relationship between the character’s dad and his new client was a delight. This is a great read for multiple generations providing education on forest fires, females on the front line and the surprise of an engaging relationship for the over 50 crowd.

Nora Roberts is a Bestselling Author with over 200 novels to her credit under her own name and as J.D.Robb. Thus one expects professionalism, and in "Chasing Fire" she does not disappoint. This book is centered around the Missoula Smoke Jumpers and just reading about them would be exciting enough. Throw in romance and intrigue into the mix and you have a page turner. The expected conclusion is comforting as all the loose ends are tied. Definitely worth a read.
