Blake Rothwell is the head of tactical creations in Haworth, one of the largest multifaceted operations. Being successful means gaining enemies who’ll try to hurt her. When her brother learns about a threat to kidnap his sister, he acts immediately.
Bronx takes his job seriously. Protecting clients means putting your life on the line, doing whatever it takes to keep them safe. And no complications. Being the one chosen to protect Blake will put his professionalism to the test.
The attraction between the two is instant, but this isn’t about their feelings, it’s about Blake’s safety.
Action and danger are clear from the very first chapter, which in a way prepares you for more to come. Blake is a snarky character and Bronx isn’t afraid of giving some snark back. Blake is super smart and sometimes she would go on and on about something and I’m almost tempted to skip the rest of her dialogue only to find out it’s her way of getting to the point, making this book enjoyable and educational.
Xavier Neal has a unique way of writing. At first, you can see in her words how both characters were trying to stay detached from each other, like calling the other a bodyguard or a client. She brilliantly makes you feel the emotions each is struggling with. This is my first book of hers and I can’t wait to read more. It’s a brilliant, fast paced read that captivates readers who enjoy steamy romantic suspense filled with action, a few sprinkles of humor, and a little taste for fake relationships.
Such a well written book that grabs you from chapter one! In the beginning we’re introduced to Blake and Bronx. Blake is a self-assured, highly intelligent, highly successful woman with the title Dr. before her last name. She’s content with the life she lives. Bronx is a man working in security who’s job is to protect his targets. These two characters come from different worlds and the juxtaposition of their personalities really makes the story. Bronx is given the job of protecting Blake and the adventure they embark on is one neither expected nor saw coming. In their forced proximity the attraction is unmistakable. Bronx begins to peel back Blake’s layers, showing her that a life worth living isn’t always planned down to the “t”.
I like that the meat of the story is the characters spending time and getting to know each other. They struggle with past hurts and current patterns but begin to figure out that what led them to each other is truly a twist of fate.
The action scenes are gripping and I love a good romance with suspense woven in. The romance is swoony and definitely steamy!
My first read from this author and it won’t be my last!

Review: 4.5/star
Xavier Neal, is a “New-to-me” author that I’m now hooked on.
Bulletproof is straight away captivating in action, with its light-hearted energy it is an easy and fun read. Blake (the FMC) is quirky fun with slightly awkward social cues. Add in her genius level scientific engineering and you get a truly wonderful leading lady. Bronx (the MMC) is truly a company man. His matter of fact rule following makes him a perfect bodyguard for Blake. The threat of her kidnapping is too real for them to overlook, with her weapon, advanced tactical gear, and chemical engineering designs she is basically “Q” from James Bond. Her innovative designs make her a very high commodity, and her safety is the utmost concern. However this quirky genius and hot bodyguard are not able to keep the steamy tension from building when her safety causes them to live off the grid in a cabin for months together.
Truly enjoyed this story and the lighthearted romance was perfect.

I absolutely loved everything about this book! The chemistry from the beginning between these two was off the charts! This might just be a new favorite and I am quickly learning to never doubt the mind and writing of Xavier Neal as she is still a new to me author. These characters and this story is the perfect bodyguard romance .
This is a new, complete standalone.
Bronx and Blake quite literally scorched my kindle! Their chemistry was absolute dynamite. I felt extremely connected to their story from the very first page. The writing was engaging and had you on the edge of your seat. I enjoyed the witty banter and pop culture references. I loved all the easter eggs and nods to other couples, books and places. I thought this forced proximity book was very well done. It didn't feel rushed at all. I liked seeing the characters develop feelings over time. If you like snarky heroines and possive alphas, you should definitely read this book!

This is Blake and Bronx's story. Blake a successful woman that needs protection, Bronx is the bodyguard assigned for the job, their forced proximity and attraction lead them into something none of them expected. There are action and emotional parts within the story, making it a very entertaining story to read. It's a story where the heroine is intelligent and successful, yet the hero goes to save her in other ways, she brings her out of her shell and helps her in ways she didn't expect to. A really good story overall that I would be recommending.

I’ve been promoting Xavier Neal books for a while, but hadn’t the chance to read her books, until now. I’m so glad I waited. Gah! Bulletproof was epic! What a fun, nerdy, action packed ride it was from beginning to end. From the start, it’s like a Jason Statham movie, but picture Theo James as Bronx Bradford * SWOON*, it’s a gory action packed scene fighting off the psycho stalker for his current client. I knew this book was not going to be boring.
Bradford gets assigned to protect Blake and from the moment they meet, sparks fly. I loved the witty dialogue, the sexy dirty talk and steamy chemistry. They were opposites attract. She was all facts and experiments and he was all about emotions and experiences. They balanced each other out perfectly. I loved these two characters and their dynamic. Blake was awesome, super intelligent, the female version of Tony Stark, except nerdy and awkward. Bronx was a protective, sexy, passionate and he could kill you with a pen, lol.
Overall, this story flowed and kept you on your toes. So many great moments between Bronx and Blake, that made me swoon and laugh. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will be looking forward to more of her books. If you enjoy reading romantic suspense, forced proximity, fake engagement, bodyguard/client romance, then give this book a try.

Another great story from one of my favorite authors. Bronx and Blake couldn’t be more different and yet so perfect for one another. Blake has this brilliant mind a bit awkward but seriously has the most sickest job ever, whereas Bronx is all business all the time but the moment he meets Blake that all changes and even though he would lay down his life to protect all of his clients Blake sparks something primal in him and he would burn the world to the ground to protect her. Be prepared to be instantly captured by these two and their story. There is no chance you will be putting this down until you have finished. The twists and turns happen right out the gate and never seem to slow down. You must pick this one up you will not be disappointed.
Bulletproof is a must read. I absolutely loved this book! I have read a few other books by this author and she does not disappoint!
Blake and Bronx have some amazing chemistry. I love the way they interacted with each other through out the book.
Bulletproof is an easy read and you won't want to put it down. I highly recommend this book! I received an ARC copy of this book for my honest review.
My gosh I've missed reading xavier's words over the past few years. This book was the perfect one to bring me back into the fold. Such a fantastic book with a unique concept
