"The Price of Valor", by Susan May Warren



Global Search and Rescue #3


This contemporary romance novel continues with another saga of high rescue mission during a devastating catastrophe. The latest drama picks up a few loose threads from Marshall Family and deepens them along the way. The main players are Ham Jones, a former Navy DEAL, with his wife Signe, a CIA operative. We also have the participation of Orion and Jake with their sidekicks, the much loved heroes from the previous stories. The rescue drama takes place in beautiful Sicily near Mount Etna. “The Price of Valor” is the series finale. Because of the intricacies of this latest, I strongly recommend reading book #1 and #2 first.

What a roller coaster ride and what an exhausting read this turned out to be: one natural disaster after another, terror never gives up. This is one story filled with shock factors no one would want to live through. Oh yes, the plotline gives a lot more than a story around rescuing people it is principally a love story of man that would not give up on his wife. This is Ham’s story and it is deeply emotional.

In the second storyline we follow Orion and Jenny on their journey to forgiveness and along the way we have a life lessons and the love of God. We also find surprising turns along the way and some intense moments to keep us on our toes.

Sounds good...why didn’t it appeal to me more.

Answer: feels like a religious soap opera and the constant rehashing was too much.

By the end, the story was so bogged down by faith aspect that my mind had disconnected and it was time to move on.....

I received a copy from the Publisher Revell via First Reviewer Program for my thoughts
