Chasing Fire by Nora Roberts

Meet the smoke jumpers who jump out of planes to fight forest fires. Stationed in Missoula, Montana, Rowan Tripp and her crew of seasoned firefighters are ready for the start of another big fire fighting season. After training in the new recruits, Tripp and the current batch of firefighters parachute into the first fire of the season.

During one of the fires close to home, Rowan finds a body. The closeknit community of smoke jumpers and support staff are questioned when the body turns out to be someone they all know. Plenty of action and suspense make the elite world of the smoke jumpers fascinating reading.

I loved reading about the main characters Rowan and Gull. Rowan is strong woman, she is hard but also fair. She is a good trainer and team leader. I loved the scenes in which she trained the new smoke jumpers. The way she supported them and joked with them was admirable.
Gull is a hero after my own heart. He's intelligent, interested in a lot of different things and seems to live his life exactly the way he wants to. Together he and Rowan make a wonderful pair. Their banters were very entertaining and I loved the scenes in which Rowan let him into her heart.
I also liked that there is a second, smaller love story between Rowan's father and a woman he meets. Their relationship is so sweet and shows that you are never too old to find love.
