Foolproof is another great read in the Navy Seals series. From the start full of action, Thrills and spills that take you on a rollercoaster of emotions. Great characters that have depth and personality.
Leo ‘skin’ Ramsey has been severely burnt on a mission that has left him with physical and emotional scars.
Mira Canaveri has worked as a successful executive in her fathers business or so she thought. When he brings in a new business partner he makes it clear he thinks she is useless and she is to kowtow to this partner in her business and personal life. Upset with this she ends up in a bar where she meets Leo. Instant attraction leads to a night together that ends with Mira becoming pregnant.
As it becomes dangerous for Mira to stay with her father she runs away. And so the real action begins with Leo and the team going all out to protect her and the unborn baby. Unscrupulous characters that are not afraid to kill and cause horrific damage.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, page turning and jaw dropping with very little let up in the action and emotions.
My thanks to net galley and publisher for the opportunity to review this book honestly.

An instant-attraction/love trope story, with other immediate life-altering consequences, “Foolproof”, by Jo Chambliss (Hover Press) balances action with a romance which is both very sweet and steamy.
Leo and Mira’s first encounter is compelling, with the wounded hero still dealing with his recently acquired scars and her invisible trauma.
Their relationship is total insta-attraction, instant (torrid) sex, love and a few more immediate events. It’s a combination of sweetness, lust and sex, with the alpha gentle hero, super protective of the “damsel-in-distress” heroine.
The fact Mira isn’t affected by Leo’s scars seems to play an important part in the recovery of his self-esteem.
The author goes further lessening considerably the visual impact of the scarring and, whatever the intention, the effect is making the less-than-perfect hero less undamaged – and, in my opinion, reducing his appeal drastically.
The brotherhood (and sisterhood) ties are strong and expand to include Mira (then again another instantaneous friendship).
What I felt as needless was the frequent proclamation of their powerful ties and of the SEAL invincibility.
The suspense plot is a bit convoluted for my taste.
The main characters were more interesting in the beginning with all that mystery and chemistry, but things evolved into something more deep, although I felt sometimes that their amazing connection was more told than shown.
I’m not a fan of the "instant-attraction” trope but this was done in a believable way although some dimensions might seem really very fast.
The first person dual point of view is not one of my favorite options, too, but others will certainly like it.

I love the Waterproof series for Jo Chambliss. Foolproof is book 8 in the series. This book can be read as a standalone, although some of the characters from previous books do feature here.

As I have mentioned in reviews for previous books, the author does not stick to one trope for her books in the series. As a result, books differ, and not all would be to everyone's taste.

I loved the story of Leo and Mira. Leo struggles to adapt to his new looks after a work incident left him with new facial scars at the start of the book. He and Mira connect at the right time for Mira to significantly influence how he views himself and the reactions of others. But Mira hides her own scars carefully - easy as they are emotional scars.

The middle of the book was a bit of a dead zone for me, leaving me disengaged. However, the latter part of the story is full of fast-moving action and heartbreak—a well done emotive read. I rooted for Leo and Mira's HEA. I did wish her father some additional comeuppance, though.

A word of warning, there is a section in the book that could be triggering for those with scars from a miscarriage.

This is my first Jo Chamliss book, and it certainly won't be the last. This was action-packed from start to finish. Leo is finally recovering from a boat explosion during a SEAL mission, where he got burns over his entire left side and fell into a deep depression. Mira has worked so hard to get her father to notice her and give her more reigns in the family business. They meet when both feel down about their lives and go to a bar to see if that will help their problems. I don't want to say too much about the plot because so much happens, and I don't want to share any spoilers. This was an incredible book; there was so much detail and suspense it had me on the edge of my seat the entire read, You learn about this found family, and it makes you love every one of them. Leo was the best type of book boyfriend material, and the only thing I didn't like about the book was that Mira was very naive at times. She's highly educated and has lived through some tough things, so I felt she would be less clueless about one or two things. Beyond that, this book was Phenomenal, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

This was another excellent read for this series. A very heartbreaking read with no HEA. Leo (Skin) was badly injured on a mission. Now with what happened he doesn't think anyone can look past his injuries, but Mira is not like anyone else. She has her own problems with her father and things he does and says to her. They are both in for a wild ride and injuries to the team are rough to take. There's plenty of action, heat, death and the uncertain. Can't wait to read the next book to see how it ends.

Get ready for an emotional rollercoaster. Saved the best for last with Leo and Mira. The pair share one night together which results in a pregnancy. But before Mira can tell Leo, her father and his business associate have other plans for her. She escapes and eventually goes to Leo for help. I normally am not a fan of surprise pregnancy romances, but this is so well written, I didn't mind it. The way Leo responds to the news is so perfect. And watching their emotional struggles as they battle the bad guys will keep you turning the pages long into the night. Don't expect much sleep with this one, it's too good to put down.

Foolproof is book 8 in the Waterproof : Navy Seals series.
This was such a great addition to the series. I have been waiting for Leo "Skins" story.
Leo & Mira have a one night stand.
Leo is recovering from an explosion that burned half his body.
Mira is having issues working with her father.
Mira finds out she is pregnant and goes to find Leo, and ends up on the run.
They reconnect and Leo and his team help Mira.
Things get intense and crazy from that point on.
This was a fast moving book and I could not put it down. I can't wait for Commander O'Reilly's book!
I received a copy of this book Via NetGalley in return for my honest review

I received this arc for an honest review.

Here another exciting book as with the last one. This one again a man focused on possessing a woman and going to any lengths to get what he wants.
The story opens with Skin still working at getting over the blast from the previous story. The blast has left him with scars from the burns and now at a bar that he goes to people who would normally talk to him walk away. At the same bar is Mira who that day found out by her father that she is really nothing to him and all the work that she had been doing it for nothing. He wants her to marry this man she had never met until today for their two companies to be together.
Watching people leave his table she says something not realizing it was out loud and when she sees him she just sees the man. They end up going to his place and spending the night together, in the morning she leaves trying to figure out her life. She finds from her father she has no life, he wants her to marry this other man. Weeks go by and she finds herself pregnant trying to get a hold of skin she ends up back at her father's and then that night she escapes and goes on the run for a week before she ends up back at his place. From here, the team begins to figure out what to do. Even after the two of them marry it still does not end for her and she is finally taken by his thugs and flown to Vegas. From there you will have to read to find out the rest. The end of this book will be set up for the next one. I will say this was a hell of a page-turner, a very good book.

If you have been following this series then like me you have probably been waiting for Leo (Skins) Ramsey's story He is the man brought up in the world of modelling that after a chance encounter at a photo shoot with a former military man decided he wanted more from life and became a Seal and member of the Wendigo team. What he hasn't been able to leave behind is the fact that everyone loves him only for his beautiful face and body. A face and body that was seriously burned during a mission now after all of his recuperation he is back with the team and he isn't handling it well not helped by the fact that all the woman that previously hit on him are now turning away A chance encounter with a woman in a bar makes him revaluate his life as Mira tells him not all scars can be seen. They have a wild night together but the next morning Mira leaves Now Skin is determined to find her but Mira has her own problems been used as a pawn in her fathers mad plans with another CEO (he is even crazier) Needing help she heads to Skin can he and his team keep her safe and will they have a future together You will have to read to see Now hanging out for Commander Timothy (Stone) O'Reilleys story

Sexy action as Mira is on the run from her father and his allies and Leo is the one who wants to protect her. Some great and realistic action, some strong fight and gun scenes, as well as some tender romantic time for Leo and Mira. A solid supporting cast of Seals and their partners make it a fab book and a series I want to read more of.
