New author for me and a new rom-suspense series, edited by rom-suspense author Debra Webb. More suspense/thriller than romance until about the 78% mark when the love interest picks up.  A fast paced, intense start to a new series.John, the Hero, nicknamed Bulletproof, has had his life hijacked by Unknown Identities (UI), a group that experimented on ex-soldiers in exchange for avoiding trumped up legal charges and/or imprisonment.  John comes out of the super soldier camp with the natural ability to heal and is assigned bodyguard duty to a newspaper reporter by "The Messenger", Gabriel, the spokesperson for this shadow agency.  John holds no love for Gabriel and just when he thought he was out of his commitment to this merciless group, he's manipulated into one more assignment.  You just know this is going to wind up going bad from the get go. Not much detail on Gabriel, "The Messenger" and who he works for but assume more will be revealed as the series unveils.  Unless I'm wrong, there's got to be a higher up who orchestrates all the baddies and their assigned duties.  John's assignment is the safe keeping of an aggressive, diehard newspaper reporter, Amelia, out to get her story to expose a Senator up to no good regardless of the eminent death threat against her.Lots of twists and turns as John/Amelia race against the clock to get her story written and to her publisher before those out to kill her can succeed in keeping her story from reaching the public. Almost want to go back and re-read to get all the details straight due to the double crossing that goes on. This was a fast read that kept my attention and had me disappointed when it was done. The story for John/Amelia ends with an HEA, and thank goodness, I was rooting for John the whole time wanting him to find the redemption he's so desperately looking for.  The series continues with John/Amelia having a reoccurring role in bk 2.  Lucky for me, bk 2 "Double Vision" is already out and I could keep reading.  Looks like "The Messenger" has a new assignment for a new player. Now on to bk 2.I'd rate Bulletproof 4.0-4.5 stars worth of entertaining reading.
