Chasing Fire

I guess I'll be the one who disagrees with the majority here, but I absolutely could not get into this book. The one and a half star rating is solely because the smoke jumping information in the beginning of the story was a little bit interesting. Even that became old after about the second fire of the book. It seems that all the characters do is whine, eat, and fight fires. The romantic element of the book was barely there, and the "threat" Rowan faces is a ridiculous, melodramatic angry female. I found that I could not work up any interest in the heroine at all, and I had to give up on this one about 115 pages in. I skimmed through the rest and didn't see anything all that exciting that I'd be missing. Definitely a DNF for me.
