Bulletproof
He was built to be bulletproof. She's the one thing that can break him.
Briar Thornton has spent months outrunning her past, but when she's drawn to the small Montana town of Bane Falls with the death of her late uncle and his estate to handle, she runs straight into a new nightmare—and a man more dangerous than the one who tried to kill her.
Roman Syxx isn't a savior. He's a weapon—cold, precise, and programmed by the Dark Forces to destroy anything and anyone. As the lieutenant of the covert Icarus Squad, he's in Bane Falls on orders: infiltrate, eliminate, disappear. But the new girl that randomly shows up in the small town fractures his control in ways no enemy ever could.
Drawn together by their traumas, they burn through each other's defenses until love feels as lethal as war. And when Briar's hidden connection to Roman's mission is exposed, both will learn that freedom always comes with a body count.

OOH YES. I had such a good time with this book. I already love the Dark Forces universe, so picking this up felt like being handed a little treat and told to have fun. And fun was had. A concerning amount of fun, actually. I devoured this book at an alarming speed. KM Moronova continues to prove that she is completely unwell (complimentary). There is just something about the way she writes romance that scratches a very specific part of my brain. The dark twists, the tension, the chemistry, the emotional damage disguised as entertainment—it is all excellent. And THE PLOT TWIST. Excuse me? I did not know what I would expect, but this sure ain't it. Roman and Briar are exactly the kind of characters I love reading about: messy, flawed, stubborn, and deeply entertaining disasters. Every time they were on page together, I was fully invested. Their chemistry felt natural, their banter kept me entertained, and their dynamic had me constantly swinging between rooting for them and wanting to lock them in a room until they learned how to communicate like functioning adults. Was this book life-changing? No. Did it cure my problems? Also no. Did it provide several hours of pure entertainment while emotionally drop-kicking me down a flight of stairs? Absolutely.
