I'm struggling. Decided to try this as a representative of a genre I don't usually read, so I shouldn't be shocked not to have an immediate home run on my hands. So far, descriptions of landscapes and activities stand out as well written, while the personal narratives and especially conversations seem painfully bad. Will try to persevere...

Didn't get round to reading it before due back!

The descriptions of Montana, Africa and the act of smoke jumping helped draw the reader into the story. An accident during a fire changes the lives of the three main characters sending their lives into a tailspin and making a very complex love triangle. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0440235162, Mass Market Paperback)

New York born and bred, Julia Bishop has no warning that spending the summer counseling troubled teens in Montana will change her life forever. Happily in love with smoke jumper and musician Ed Tully, she looks forward to spending the summer weekends with him in Missoula and is stunned and disturbed by the instant connection she feels to his best friend, Connor Ford. Connor, a Montana rancher and smoke jumper, loves fighting fires almost as much as he loves photography, and before the summer is barely started, he loves Julia Bishop just as deeply. The bond between the three is strong but the work of a smoke jumper is fraught with danger and the trio soon face death by fire. Survival changes their lives forever and places them on paths that divide Julia, Ed, and Connor just as surely as their individual journeys bind them irrevocably together. The Smoke Jumper is a tale of loyalty and guilt, honor and selfless love, and the human cost of choices made. --Lois Faye Dyer
