From Barnes and Noble:
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. . . .
I love the way Nora Roberts tells a story. She gives time for a build up, plenty of suspense and she develops characters like nobody else I've found. I just love her. It always disappoints me how quickly I read through a Nora Roberts book. I want it to last longer.
Of course I flew through this book in two days. I was a tad bit disappointed that the end just happened. You were in the middle of the good part and BAM, the end. She did wrap it up nicely and take care of everything, but I think I needed a little time to adjust :)
I loved all the characters and even felt a bit bad for the bad guy. I liked meeting these people and walking through this with them. Dobie was probably my favorite, he was a fun guy.
I love the way she weaves everyone in and out of each other and always teaches me something that I didn't know about. Not that I feel like I'm an expert on Zulies now, but I feel a bit better informed.
Thanks Nora, it was great!
I give this a 3.5 out of 5!
