Fiction Review: The Heart of a Hero (Global Search and Rescue Book #2) by Susan May Warren


Book Description:
Jake Silver may not be able to put the memories of his time as a sniper and Navy SEAL behind him, but at least he can put his skills to use as a part of the Jones Inc. rescue team. Saving the life of pediatric heart surgeon Dr. Aria Sinclair on Denali helped too. Now he can't get her out of his head, and when he hears she is in the path of a hurricane down in Key West he can't help but jump on a plane to rescue her.

Aria has dedicated her life to helping children born with defective hearts. After all, she was one of those children. Now driven to succeed, she lives a lonely, stressful life. One she would have lost on Denali if it hadn't been for Jake. Jake is exciting and handsome, but he's also dangerous, and she's already lost one person she loves. She can't bear it again.

It's not until she finds herself trapped in the middle of a category 4 hurricane that she can admit she needs Jake desperately. With their very survival in the balance, can they hope for a second chance at life . . . and love?

My Description:
You've got two strong characters in the midst of a crazy storm which leads to a story of will-power, trust, and second chances. Susan May Warren weaves a story filled with energy and excitement. When Jake follows Aria to Florida, he's prepared to rescue her. What he finds is a woman who pushes herself aside to save others. In the midst of the chaos, some of the other characters try their patience and make them question their trust, while others teach them lessons they didn't know they needed. While they wrestle with their inner demons, they fight the elements and search for the light at the end of a hard and hectic tunnel. Filled with suspenseful moments as well as tender embraces, this is a great summer read. One thing I enjoy most about Warren's stories is her focus on the male heroes, flaws and all. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
