The Heart of a Hero is Susan May Warren’s second in the Global Search and Rescue series. Jake and Aria process what happened while climbing Denali until the heat is turned up. Disaster strikes leaving them trapped in the middle of a hurricane on Key West.

I have to say, this book checks all the boxes. Jake is an exceptional hero. The heart of a marine but the soul of a boy who suffered a terrible tragedy. He’s spent his whole life since, trying to make amends for something that wasn’t his fault.

Meanwhile Aria is still living in the shadow of her twin sister turned heart donor. She now tries to live more like her daredevil sister, but keeps ending up in highly precarious positions. A medical conference takes her to Key West, where she plans to unwind and forget her attraction to Jake Silver.

When food poisoning prevents her from leaving, Aria awakens to a frightening and empty new world. Following his instinct, Jake shows up and between them they fight for personal survival, and to keep those around them safe.

As in her other books, Susan May Warren shows herself to be the mistress of intertwining motivation with circumstance, bravery with tragedy, and growth from loss. The supporting characters jump from the pages and book three should be a doozy. The Global Search and Rescue series is a triumph of storytelling.
