The Price of Valor (Global Search and Rescue #3) by Susan May Warren {Book Review}

**I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher for consideration. All thoughts are my own. 

Former Navy SEAL Hamilton Jones thought that the love of his life was dead. But when a girl claiming to be his daughter shows up with a dire message from his wife, Ham knows he will stop at nothing to find her and bring her home.

Kidnapped by rebels while serving as an interpreter in Ukraine, Signe Kincaid has spent the past decade secreting out valuable information about Russian assets in the US to her CIA handler. Fearing for her daughter after being discovered as an operative, Signe sends her to Ham for safekeeping. She's ready to give her life for her country, and she can hardly expect Ham to rescue her after breaking his heart over and over.

When Ham discovers the reason Signe has kept her distance, he must choose between love for his wife and love for the nation he has vowed to protect. Will he save the many? Or the few?

Susan May Warren is without a doubt one of my top three favorite authors, and I know when I pick up one of her books I am about to be taken on an adventure. While I have loved many of her series and found them all to be exciting, Global Search and Rescue might just be the biggest adventure yet. The series has spanned the globe and seen more drama than one could imagine... and I absolutely love it. The Price of Valor is the third book in that series and once again takes us on a crazy adventure. While you could likely be read as a standalone, I personally wouldn't recommend it. The characters are previously introduced in the other books, and while some background is given, I don't think you'd get the full appreciation for this group of characters without knowing their full stories. 

The Price of Valor focuses on Ham's story. The story picks up right where the previous book ended. Ham has recently discovered that not only does he have a daughter he didn't know about, but he learns that his wife whom he'd believed to be dead for many years was in fact alive. He sets out across the globe to track her down. The adventure that follows will have you at the edge of your seat. While I personally think that I enjoyed some of the other characters from the previous books a bit more, Ham and Signe's certainly is one unlike any other. The story was larger than life, and I loved every minute. 

If you're looking for an epic adventure without leaving your home, this is certainly one book to check out.
