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. . . .
When I pick up a NR book, I know I will be reading until the end. This was the second book I read about this fascinating subject. I was also treated to a little romance and suspense even though I figured out the culprit early on .
Dear Anna,
What I have to tell you is difficult to write, but I know it will be far more difficult for you to hear, and I'm so sorry. . .
The unfinished letter is the only clue Tara and Emerson have to the reason behind their close friend Noelle's suicide. Everything they knew about Noelle-her calling as a midwife, her passion for causes, her love for her friends and family-described a woman who embraced life.
Yet there was so much they didn't know.
With the discovery of the letter and its heartbreaking secret, Noelle's friends begin to uncover the truth about this complex woman who touched each of their lives--and the life of a desperate stranger--with love and betrayal, compassion and deceit.
The character's search for answers has an element of suspense that kept me turning the pages. The family dynamics were just as riveting and realistic. The story is told in alternating voices of the women involved that definitely added an extra layer of emotion and empathy.

Nora's one of my favorites as well.
I haven't read this series yet by NR and I always love her books. I really enjoyed Midwife's Confession...Diane Chamberlain is a favorite of mine.
I haven't read any NR books but she sure is popular. I did read Midwife's Confession though and I loved it. I'd like to read more of Chamberlain's books for sure.
I just finished this today and really liked the part about figuring out who Anna's missing daughter was.
Great blog! Am now a follower and have added you to my blog roll.
