CHASING FIRE by Nora Roberts

In this book it goes into the lives of the Zulie’s A.K.A the Fire Jumpers. How Mrs. Roberts describes the job of the Fire Jumpers makes me feel like I am really there, feeling the adrenaline from jumping out of a plane (something I would never really do) and feel the heat of the flames.

Rowan Tripp (who reminds me a little of Eve Dallas) is one of the best Fire Jumpers, just like her father nick named “Iron Man”, is a woman who does not mix business with pleasure. A newbie Zulie comes along with the power to change her mind and make her like it to.

Even her father is getting his romance on and even though the part of the book where he and his lady friend was “getting it on” was extremely disturbing to me, the rest of their romance was sweet and wonderful.

No book comes without conflict and this one comes with a whopper of a conflict. People are being murdered and setting the bodies on fire, which the Fire Jumpers have to put out, where burns and injuries are received.

Rowan is a suspect because of an altercation she had with the first of the victims and now she has taken it upon herself to clear her name (as she damn well should) with the help of her newbie lover. They must figure out who is really behind all these murders and fires and to also deal with the disturbing news that the killer might be one of them.

Nora Roberts writes with passion and knowledge of what she wants to portray. She makes me feel like I am really there, jumping from airplanes and fighting the destructive beauty of fire. Nora really has a magic way with words.

IT STARTED WITH A KISS by Marina Adair

Well well well! What do we have here with this story? Is it a love story, is it a trade or is it MURDER! I'm kidding, I'm kidding, there's no murder here. Avery Adams wants adventure. She wants to push herself outside the norm and experience life instead of just existing. This came about when she survived a kidney transplant that saved her life, but it's also a ticking time bomb that can explode at any time. With her resolve to experience life, Avery did the most logical thing and got a job as a guide in the local adventure lodge in her rustic Sierra Nevada Town.

THE HIGHLAND HENCHMAN by Amy Jarecki

After reading "The Angel and the Warrior" I really needed a book to pick me up and I am so glad that this book did just the trick. The only thing that irked me was that the heroine in this book upset me greatly. Needing royal assistance, Baron Ross issued a tournament to enchant the Highlanders to leave their land and come to the Lowlands to take part. What he really wanted was for the Highlanders to fight a dangerous battle that would get most of them killed. After the tournament the Highland Lairds choose instead to entrust their best warriors to stay and fight. This was not exactly what Baron Ross wanted but he knew that he could not change their mind so he accepted. Bran MacLeod was one of the warriors that was left behind, and even though he did not like it, he knew that he can never go against his Laird. It did not help matters that their was a dangerous instant attraction between him and the baron's last daughter. Bran knows that getting involved ...
