Soundproof: a Military Romance Thriller by Jo ChamblissMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
"Never assume that loud is strong and quiet is weak" Unknown.
Soundproof is the fifth book in the Waterproof: Navy Seals series by Jo Chambliss. Read my review of the rest of the previous books here. All books are standalone in the interconnected series with one couple per book, no cliffhangers and guaranteed HEA. It would also seem that the covers for the series have been updated. I preferred the previous covers, although I understand the appeal of colour and a more prominent male cover model for romance books.
This book follows the story of Tyler "Hawk" Morgan and Cailyn Ridley as a couple. Hawk's childhood made him a quiet adult, and Riley's kidnapping ordeal gave her a new quietness. Yet, both these characters show strong determination and a sense of justice. This determination and sense of justice propel Hawk not to give up the search for the kidnapped women. It is also determination and grit that keeps Riley alive in the worst circumstances. At the same time, her sense of justice motivates her to give as much information on her kidnappers as possible - even while this puts her in danger.
In all this, both Riley and Hawk find their safe space with each other, finding comfort in the quiet of the other. This all sounds very philosophical - but in essence, this book is an action-packed, steamy romance well worth the read.
