Smexy Books | 17 May 2011
The lackluster suspense combined with the drawn out, predictable plot made this a C+ read.

...Roberts fills Chasing Fire with details that really brings the story's world to life...Chasing Fire is a keeper.

There were two things, though, that bothered me: The writing, and the villain.

...it’s a suspenseful read with just enough romance and humor to make me late to work because I couldn’t put it down.

At every turn, Roberts makes Chasing Fire a book you will not want to put down.

...overall this story dragged for me. There's a lot of unnecessary information going on in this book.

The Romance Dish | 11 Apr 2011
Action, suspense, humor, red-hot sex, and heart-melting romance, and so much more make this a book that you won't want to miss.

Suite 101: Romance Fiction | 11 Nov 2011
As the descriptions of fire fuel Chasing Fire, so do Roberts’s descriptions of Rowan and Gull allow the novel to grow and develop depth.

Errant Dreams Reviews | 8 Feb 2011
The true treasure of Chasing Fire lies within the setting, relationships and characters, all of which were well worth delving into.

Book Reporter | 18 Apr 2011
Once again, Roberts makes the reader proud of heroic, strong women who know how to fight a fire, solve a mystery, and get a man all in one short summer.

Since I don't read Nora books for the suspense, the fact that it was predictable didn't really bother me. But this is definitely not the book for hard core romantic suspense readers.

Jandy's Reading Room | 11 Jun 2011
To any seasoned reader, this book is fairly obvious fairly quickly. There is really only one person who fits in the antagonist's description. The person is hidden in plain sight.

Fiction Addict | 16 Apr 2011
Dealing with heartache, guilt and issues that many of us deal with on a smaller level in our own lives, Roberts takes us on a journey of love and healing at the same time we navigate a tense and thrilling mystery.

The thing about Nora Roberts is that I almost always enjoy her books—just never enough to want to buy her next one and let’s not even contemplate her backlist. Chasing Fire is no exception.

Book Loons
Too many fire-fighting scenes ultimately bog down the story and leave little room to build suspense. Halfway through, I found myself skipping ahead to learn more about the ongoing hunt for the killer, whose identity was easier to figure out than Roberts' usual villain.

Kirkus Reviews | 1 Apr 2011
Popular, prolific Roberts (The Search, 2010, etc.) 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.

About Happy Books | 11 Apr 2011
The story is thrilling and fascinating, there are two wonderful love stories in the book, the camaraderie between the smoke jumpers is amazing and their fight against the fire is breathtaking.

I had a feeling who was stirring up trouble and why. Nora ably kept me wondering about that feeling until the end...

Romance Around the Corner | 26 Apr 2011
...just plain, the romance lacked a bit of spice and drama, the plot and mystery dragged a lot in the middle, and I think maybe a shorter book would have been better.

Gull was a hero it was easy to fall for but I felt he deserved to find someone so much better than Ro.

The mystery was good but not as suspenseful as some of Roberts' other books...Rowan...acted pretty childish

In So Many Words | 28 Jul 2011
I’m not sure if it’s fair to read a romance/suspense novel and then complain that the story drags a bit or that the whodunit is too predictable – it sort of comes with the territory, I suppose.
