This first book in the Global Search and Rescue is fast-paced and exciting. Set in Alaska, a team of women decide to climb Denali, the largest mountain peak in North America, to prove that they are stronger than they think they are. Each of them is climbing this treacherous and unforgiving mountain to prove to themselves they are capable. Kit, Jenny, Aria, and Sasha each have to conquer their fears and the unpredictable and dire weather conditions that Mother Nature throws at them. I was on the edge of my seat, reading as fast as I could, as there were several perilous events that took place.
Jenny Calhoun and Orion Starr both had guilt and regrets about a military operation that had gone terribly wrong. I liked how Ms. Warren used the harsh, life threatening conditions to make Jenny and Orion to face mistakes in their lives and find love and forgiveness.Warning: Do not read this late at night because you may have a difficult time sleeping- I did!
Favorite Quotes:
"We don't stop living life just because bad things can, or will, happen. We just keep going forward, trusting in God's plan for us, even if bad things happen, God is still there, still in control, Still saving us. Still protecting us. "
"Be brave, Jen. Love when it hurts, When it's scary. When you're not sure what the future might be."

Description:
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?
About Susan May Warren:
Growing up in Minneapolis and attending the U of MN, I learned to love city life, although I'm a woodsy girl at heart. Or maybe I'm an adventurer -- having lived and traveled all over the world, including Siberia Russia as a missionary for eight years. Probably that's why my characters can't sit still, and seem to get into one scrape after another -- they're too much like me! I love God, my family, my country, my church, and feel privileged every day to be able to write stories.
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.
