The Heart of a Hero, #2 by Susan May Warren

Book Description:   In The Heart of a Hero, book 2 in the Global Search and Rescue series, Warren ramps up the action once again as former Navy SEAL Jake Silver and heart surgeon Dr. Aria Sinclair fight to survive a category 4 hurricane in Key West. Jake Silver battles traumatizing memories that resulted from his career as a former sniper and Navy SEAL. As part of the Jones, Inc., rescue team, Jake finds some element of redemption by utilizing his skills to rescue and save the lost and injured. One of his most rewarding moments was saving the life of pediatric heart surgeon Dr. Aria Sinclair—a woman he still can’t forget. 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. Although she finds Jake both exciting and handsome, he’s also dangerous, and she refuses to take the risk of loving again. When Jake hears that Aria is in the path of a deadly hurricane in Key West, he can’t help but jump on a plane to rescue her. As the hurricane turns paradise into peril, Aria realizes she needs Jake desperately. With their very survival in the balance, can they hope for a second chance at life . . . and love?

My Thoughts:  I realize that this is the second book in the Global Search & Rescue series but in my opinion it can be a stand alone read.

There is SO much going on in this story that the reader is never bored.  

I love the action and the romance.  Romance makes the story so much sweeter.

I find the title so fitting for this story.  The main character Navy Seal Jake Silver saves the life of pediatric heart surgeon, Dr. Aria Sinclair.  And he just can't forget her sweet smile.  However, Dr. Sinclair can't trust herself to love again.  

Then a terrible hurricane is headed towards the Key West where Aria Sinclair lives and Jake just can't help himself he gets on a plane to go rescue her.  

As the hurricane gets closer Aria realizes that she needs Jake.  But can she trust her heart?

I enjoyed this great story.  And I loved all the action with little turmoil.
