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.

Hard Power, by J.B. Turner (Jon Reznick #12)

Posted
Action, intrigue, and some politics mixed into another fab Jon Reznick thriller. This is the twelfth in the series but it can be read as a standalone.  This time it's Jon's go-to hacker and computer genius Trevelle that's in trouble. Trevelle contacts Jon to ask for help after his Chinese girl friend fell / got pushed into the tracks. A parallell legal system with Chinese police station is revealed and it all feels very close to a possible real situation which makes the story even better.  To find the culprits, the relationship between Martha (FBI) and Jon is tested yet again in this story - but this time it's Martha's career that's at stake. With the pressure piling up, will she be loyal to Jon or look after herself first?  Highly recommended. The Jon Reznick thrillers are available on Kindle Unlimited and you may as well subscribe for a month or so, to read them all! Hard Power will be published on 12 March 2024, but can be preordered now. #HardPower #NetGalle...

A fab combination of romance, danger, and family drama, but at times quite dark, with themes of violence and betrayal.  "She’s the kind of friend that points out your crown is slipping, not quietly helps fix it."

Big Bad Boss: Midnight, by Renee Rose and Lee Savino

First things first: This book ends with a cliff hanger and after getting over that frustration, it leaves you wanting to hurry up the authors to publish the next one, and the one after that in this Werewolves of Wall Street trilogy. Brick, the lead male, is the stereotypical billionaire a-hole, going through assistants quicker than he changes his underwear - well, that's until Madison comes along and puts him in his place. She's bright, sassy and knows what she wants - enough money to pay her brother's tuition fees and to do some under cover research.   Big Bad Boss: Midnight is an amazingly well written and captivating shifter story mixing hotness and business; a shame it ended with a cliffhanger. It's publishing tomorrow 29 February 2024. #BigBadBoss #NetGalley
