Foolproof by Jo Chambliss
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Surprise pregnancy, lust and love
Foolproof is scheduled for publication on 28 June 2022.
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.
