   Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.   Natt90 | Mar 29, 2023 |  Los bomberos paracaidistas de Missoula forman uno de los equipos más capacitados de Estados Unidos. Entrenados para saltar en zonas agrestes de difícil acceso, entran en acción para atajar de forma rápida incendios forestales y controlarlos mientras sus compañeros intentan llegar a la zona por tierra. El suyo es un combate a vida y muerte contra las fuerzas desatadas de la naturaleza. Rowan Tripp lleva esa lucha en la sangre. Su padre, Lucas Tripp, es una leyenda entre los veteranos, y ella sigue sus huellas desde los dieciocho años. Para Rowan, volver cada verano a los bosques de Montana es como regresar a casa. Pero ahora dicho hogar alberga un fantasma, el de Jim, el compañero a quien perdió el año anterior y cuyo recuerdo sigue flotando en el aire y hace que la legendaria seguridad en sí misma que Rowan poseía empiece a tambalearse. Por suerte, el grupo de novatos que se incorporan esa temporada es excelente, y entre ellos destaca Gulliver Curry. Gull, directo e independiente, llegó a Missoula tras los pasos de Lucas Tripp e inmediatamente quedó fascinado por la hija de su héroe. Rowan tiene como norma no mezclar amor y trabajo, pero los inquietantes acontecimientos que empiezan a suceder en el campamento lo pondrán todo en jaque. (  ) azumeta | Aug 14, 2012 |
 AMAZING, simply AMAZING! This book was like reading three books in one. An action-packed firefighter story, a romance novel and a mystery. I loved every page-turning second of it. Story One - the action-packed firefighter story: Never before have I wished that I could jump out of a plane. Heck, I don't even really like sitting inside a plane but how I longed to be one of the 'Zulies' and join in for just one smoke-jump. WOW, what a crazy job to have. The vivid imagery that Nora Roberts used made me not only see the flames but feel the heat as they burned through the gorgeous wilderness that the 'jumpers' were fighting so hard to protect. From the moment the siren sounded to the moment they 'killed the dragon', my heart would race and I was fighting the urge to read ahead to make sure everyone made it safely back to base. Story Two - the romance novel: Just enough 'smut' to make the story good. Budding romances between Rowan and Gull, as well as Lucas 'Iron Man' Tripp and Ella, were something that made any woman long to be seduced again... the start of any relationship is so great and these two do not disappoint. After hours on the battlefield, risking your life, I can only imagine the passion behind some of the romance. Story Three - the mystery: Totally unexpected. When things start to go awry on base, vandalism, gun shots, and equipment failure, the police are called in and an intense investigation begins. Bodies start showing up during hard-fought fires and fingers are pointed in every direction. Who would put people who already risk their lives in such danger? Who has a grudge that they aren't willing to let go? Overall, I LOVED this book and was so sad that it ended. An amazing adventure and one that I would recommend to any and all fans of good writing and even better reading!  Popular, prolific Roberts delivers hair-raising smoke-jumping sequences along with the obligatory thrills, sex and a mystery even the greenest armchair sleuths will be able to solve. Distinciones
Montana wildfire fighter Rowan has a strict rule: never get romantically involved with anyone she works with. But the moment she meets new recruit Gull Curry that rule is severely tested. And when it becomes clear that someone blames Rowan for her jump partner's death, and is determined to get revenge, Rowan finds that she needs Gull's help and support more than ever.
