Review: The Heart of a Hero by Susan May Warren

To Purchase

About:

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. But now he can't get her out of his head.

Aria has dedicated her life to helping children born with defective hearts. After all, she was one of those children. 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 Thoughts:

Wow, wow, wow. This is probably now tied with my favorite author Warren story. Talk about an adrenaline rush...I had a really hard time trying to live in reality with this story unfinished in my life.

This is the second in the Global Search and Rescue series and there is an overarching storyline. This is the first one I have read and the author does a great job of catching the reader up, but who wouldn't want to read the first. I do and now I just need to find the time.

Jake and Aria, what can I say. Jake is a scarred hero who loves a woman who does not want to be a damsel in distress. And it seems she always is around Jake. He doesn't see her like that, he just loves her. Aria actually likes him being the hero if she wasn't so caught up in her own head. Both have tragic paths that affect their present decisions and future paths, and I am really hoping that we get some closure on Jake's. 

Not only do we have their up and down relationship, but the dangerous weather and less than idea circumstances that rise up from that said weather has this story on a really fast rollercoaster. It was non-stop and I enjoyed every minute of it.

And the ending, with Ham...let's just say I am really anticipating the third in this adventure rich series.

I received a copy of this novel from Revell through Interviews and Reviews. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
