Global Search And Rescue book 1
by Susan May Warren
| -From Goodreads- Former pararescue jumper Orion Starr is haunted by the memory of a rescue gone wrong. He may be living alone in Alaska now, but the pain of his failure--and his injuries--has followed him there from Afghanistan. He has no desire to join Hamilton Jones's elite rescue team, but he also can't shirk his duty when the call comes in to rescue three lost climbers on Denali. Former CIA profiler and psychiatrist Jenny Calhoun's yearly extreme challenge with her best friends is her only escape from the guilt that has sunk its claws into her. As a consultant during a top-secret mission to root out the Taliban, she green-lighted an operation that ended in ambush and lives lost. When her cathartic climb on Denali turns deadly, she'll be forced to trust her life and the lives of her friends to the most dangerous of heroes--the man she nearly killed. Her skills and his experience are exactly what's needed to prevent another tragedy--but in order to truly set Orion free from his painful past, Jenny will have to reveal hers. They'll have to put their wounds behind them to survive, but at what cost? Leap into action with this high-octane, breakneck new series from bestselling author Susan May Warren. ISBN-13: 9780800735845 Life...and death, can be found on The Great One... |  This Book received a 4.5 Bark rating.

Well, that was a surprise! I only half glanced at the back cover of this book, deciding instead to read it just because it's been awhile since I've read one of Susan May Warren's books and I really liked her Christiansen Family series. I honestly thought it was going to be a military-ish story. Boy, was a wrong! This is extreme adventure, and romance, at the top of the tallest peak in North America, Denali in Alaska.
The Way Of The Brave had everything you could ask for in a extreme outdoor sports novel. It had epic storms, whiteouts, avalanches, ice, snow, crevasses and seracs (yeah, I had to look that last one up), dangerous falls, altitude sickness, and some other nasty surprises for our heroine, her hero, and their friends. It was great! Which, of course, I can say because I'm sitting at home with a nice fuzzy blanket.
But this book was about so much more than the thrills, chills, and spills of climbing Denali. No, Susan May Warren doesn't leave her characters in just an adventure novel nor in a shallow romance. Jenny and Orion both have to come to the end of their literal and metaphorical ropes, to find themselves, each other, and most importantly to find God. And they both have to learn a lesson that we all find difficult to swallow, forgiveness of one's self and of others. The Way Of The Brave has plenty of adventure and romance but there's also some deep stuff in there as well. And I'm not just talking about snow and ice.
So, my advice, since I enjoyed it so much, is to check out the first book in the Global Search And Rescue series for yourself. I think you might like it...
