Description

Incomparable #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts delivers a tale of gut-level fear, human triumph, and the bonds that carry us through our darkest times…

Reena Hale’s destiny was shaped in the destructive—yet fascinatingly beautiful—fire that leveled her family’s pizzeria when she was young. Now an arson investigator, she finds her strength and wits constantly tested, although sometimes the job seems like a snap compared to her love life. But she can’t always blame the men. After all, a soot-caked woman barking orders and smelling of smoke isn’t the biggest turn-on in the world. Then she meets Bo Goodnight, who seems different. He’s been trying to find Reena for years, and now that she’s close enough to touch, he has no intention of letting go.

Nor does the man who has begun to haunt Reena’s life—with taunting phone calls and a string of horrifying crimes. And as Reena tries desperately to trace the origins—of the calls, the fires, the hatred aimed in her direction—she will step into the worst inferno she has ever faced...

    It’s no lie. Out of sixteen books I’ve read by Nora Roberts, including ten stand-alone books and two trilogies, I’ve never encountered a better book than Blue Smoke! I love the romantic elements because I find it sweet and romantic, plain and simple. To some, it seems to like an eternally slow buildup, seeing it take so many years for the two protagonists, Bo Goodnight and Reena Hale, to finally meet. I should find it unrealistic that one man should spend such a long time looking for one girl just because he caught a glimpse of her at a college party, found her beautiful, and felt that she was his soulmate. But I don’t, not when the one thing he wants to do is to finally get the chance to talk to her so they can get to know one another. To me, this is very romantic because it seems like the kind of experience that anyone could have. The fact that they finally do meet only makes it that much better because of what happens afterwards, but I won’t reveal anything about it. As a thriller, this story is terrifying because every detail could happen to ANYONE! As Reena pursues her dream of becoming a firefighter and an arson investigator, fueled by a childhood tragedy, she has no idea that she is being stalked, watched, by someone from her past, someone deadly. But who is it? Her life, and the lives of those she loves most, will depend on whether or not she can figure it out before it’s too late! A perfect blend of incredible romance and spine-tingling mystery from a true master storyteller! This is Nora Roberts’ masterpiece!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Had a slow start to the romance but a good ending! If you don’t like slow build ups and lots of background I don’t recommend this book but if you do like the slow steadiness of a book then I do recommend. 👍🏼👍🏼
  • The best!
