I can't go wrong with Nora Roberts, I enjoyed most of her books and she is definitely one of my favourite authors ever.
Unfortunately, this time I wasn't in the mood to read anything, so I struggled even with this book. As much as I enjoyed the story and the characters, this book didn't grab me as much as some other ones from Nora Roberts. And I'm not sure if the reason was my lack of enthusiasm about reading anything or maybe the story is not as good as some others. I believe the reason is most ...more

This is one of the latest Nora Roberts' standalone novels and a good one.
I have never heard about smokejumpers who fight the forest fires jumping out of the plane into the heart of the fire. So exciting! I really enjoyed the competent descriptions about the training, living and adrenaline filled job they do fighting the fire in most difficult conditions. This job is truly dangerous, demands special skills and qualities only the bravest or craziest adrenaline chunkies can take on.

I liked this a lot. I'd always taken for granted the people whose jobs it was to put out the wild fires you hear and read about on the news so often each year. I never realized they were people who basically volunteered to do this for the season (yes, they get paid, at least in this storyline, but still) and then went back to "regular" jobs the rest of the year. I know that probably sounds dumb, but it just never occurred to me that smoke jumpers were not people who did this year round or had ot

The story revolved around a group of forest firefighters--a dangerous job, but a group of men and women with a closeness and camaraderie much like soldiers. A little romance, a little danger, a little intrigue, all add up to an exciting and enjoyable read.
Wow! I really love Nora Roberts' books but this one will be at the top of the list for me (at least so far!) It had everything. A great love story where the characters had great chemistry, mystery, suspense and a great background story of firefighters that parachute in to fight the fire! The only thing I'm sorry about is that it took me too long to get to this one!
