Review: Unknown Identies continues....
Rating: 4 out of 5

This bk was more equal romance to suspense and less intense than the 1st bk (Bulletproof). This time it's Adam, "Double Vision", who's been framed as a traitor by Unknown Identities (UI). "The Messenger", Gabriel, assigns Adam to watch over Selena, a designer who owns a showroom in the garment district.Selena's cousin is being held hostage in exchange for a watch her ex-boyfriend claims she has and he wants back. Selena must get the watch from her cousin's apartment which unbeknownst to her holds secret info and return it to the boyfriend in exchange for her cousin's life.  Adam's been assigned to watch Selena by "The Messenger", Gabriel. It's not immediately clear how these 2 stories interact until a bit later in the bk. "The Messenger" wasn't portrayed as such the baddie this time as the ex-boyfriend captured that title. But you know they're all stirring the same pot.  This was another fast paced story that ended all too soon. Although this is a solid story, I have to say I enjoyed the first bk better than this one. Adam/Selena do get their HEA (happily ever after), but I didn't have the warm feelings for Adam that I had for John in bk 1. Adam seemed hopeful and a bit clueless to the evils of UI. Maybe that's just Adam's personality. Brief appearances by John, Amelia and Ben here have me wanting to continue this series to see what's up next. Hoping to see this cast of good guy characters grow and converge on the creator of the Unknown Identities and expose them.  Look forward to bk 3.
