Soundproof by Jo Chambliss

Title: Soundproof (#5 in Waterproof: Navy SEALs)
Author: Jo Chambliss

A beautiful and heartfelt story of one Navy SEAL's quest to find three women despite their original unsuccessful attempt. 

Cailyn Ridley works as an oncology nurse and is asked by two of her patients, Roberta and Amy, if she'd like to join them for their final trip around Europe, an end of life bucket list trip of sorts. After confirming she'll still have a job when she returns from her absence of leave, the three women set off on their travels. 

They are having a fabulous time until they are suddenly kidnapped on their way home from a Flamenco evening in Spain. Roberta and Amy convinces Cailyn to pretend to be a boy, smears her face in dirt and dress her in male clothes from the rags provided by their captures. The rouse works as Cailyn is set to work as a house servant to the terrorist cell they now belong to. 

A group of Navy SEALs are tasked with rescuing five women captured under similar circumstances. They manage to find the two other women, but they arrive too late. Told to return back to base, one of the SEALs, Tyler "Hawk" Morgan can't let go of the fact that they never managed to find even a trace of the other three women. He uses his spare time to track through surveillance data and eventually gets a break-through. 

This is book 5 in the series, but can be enjoyed stand-alone. Read the other books in the series to find out more about the other Navy SEALs in Hawk's 'family'. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Hover Press for allowing me to read this eARC. The book is released on 7 September 2021 - pre-order your copy on Amazon

Embrace the Lace by Shannon MacLeod

Paisley Evangeline Darling (Van for short) attends a renaissance festival in the US, but somehow ends up in a pond in Scotland and is rescued by Andrew MacIver. Not only has she travelled across the world, she's also travelled in time - back to the 17th century. Add in some more low level magic, a nasty uncle and women competing for Andrew's reluctant hand in marriage.  Highly entertaining story with some slow romance and Van getting stuck into her new life and improving operations at Andy's castle.  This book is available now!  PS. I am not really sure what inspired the title of this book. #EmbraceTheLace #NetGalley
