Chasing Fire by Nora Roberts - 472 pages

Rowan Tripp and Gulliver Curry are smoke jumpers dealing with murder, arson, and sabotage.

I listened to the audio version of this book.  I enjoyed it.  The romance and mystery aspects were well integrated into the story.  The characters were also intriguing and fun to "read".
