Though initially saved by police Detective Sam Kage, Jory refuses protective custody - he has a life he loves that he won’t give up no matter who is after him. But Jory’s life is in real jeopardy, especially after he agrees to testify about what he saw. While dealing with attempts on his life, well-meaning friends who want to see him happy, an overly protective boss, and a slowly unfolding mystery that is much more sinister than he could ever imagine, the young gay man finds himself getting involved with Sam, the conflicted and closeted detective....

Story
A new life in New Orleans is all Jason Thorpe had hoped: His quaint little store attracts a devoted staff, and his warm, loving heart grants him a loyal circle of friends. He's perfectly content, having left behind the chill of a confusing and danger-filled night in Washington, until he discovers something unbelievable lurking in the steamy darkness of the shadowy streets of the Vieux Carré, something that turns out to be terrifying and utterly mesmerizing.

Deputy US Marshal Miro Jones has a reputation for being calm and collected under fire. These traits serve him well with his hotshot partner, Ian Doyle, the kind of guy who can start a fight in an empty room. In the past three years of their life-and-death job, they've gone from strangers to professional coworkers to devoted teammates and best friends. Miro’s cultivated blind faith in the man who has his back… faith and something more.

Story
Fixer. Bodyguard. Advocate. Brann Calder is expected to play all these roles and more as a member of Torus Intercession, a security firm guaranteed to right what’s wrong. In the military, catastrophe was his specialty. Five months out of the service, Brann is still finding his way, so a new assignment might be just what he needs. Unless it includes two things sure to make a seasoned, battle-trained veteran nervous: life in a small town, and playing caregiver to two little girls.

Maksim Lenkov is certain he’s not a good man. His father isn’t, and since Maks is his second in command, then certainly, he’s just as evil. The list of sins is long, and there’s no getting around that. What’s messing him up is that despite all that, in the midst of life and death, his only friend tells him he’s been a blessing, law enforcement is treating him like he prevented more bloodshed than he caused, and everyone is concerned with doing right by him. Why? And how is Maks supposed to figure out who he is when everything he thought he knew is suddenly turned upside down?

You belong to me and I know it down deep, in muscle and bone, where my wolf lives. Avery Rhine isn’t an average homicide detective with the Chicago PD. In fact, Avery isn’t an average anything. Sure, as an omega he knows he’s at the bottom of the food chain, but that’s never slowed him down. He’s got a great life, complete with a loving family and a best friend who’d take a bullet for him, so what more could he possibly want or need? Except, maybe, for the world to change.

Publisher's summary
Jory Harcourt doesn't have to go looking for trouble. Wherever he goes, it seems to find him - particularly when his partner, Sam Kage, is working undercover on a federal task force.
After the recession forces him to close his business, Jory goes to work as a matchmaker and event planner. From there, it's only a matter of time before his big mouth and up-front attitude make him the rope in a tug-of-war between a trust-fund baby and a drug-smuggling criminal. Then, as if that situation weren't delicate enough, Jory's undercover lover shows up working for the smuggler.
Between the men who want him and the men who just want him dead, Chicago is getting a little crowded for Jory, so on the advice of his brother, his boyfriend, and the FBI task force, he heads for Hawaii...where a serious accident threatens his quality of life. Can Sam and Jory keep the faith and prove that their relationship really is bulletproof?

Great book, poor narration
What did you like best about Bulletproof? What did you like least?
I love almost all of Mary Calmes' books. Jory and Sam are one of my favorite couples. I LOVE Jory and the way he looks at life, he is so much fun. But I hated the narration.
What did you like best about this story?
The relationship between Jory and Sam.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
I don't understand why they switched from Paul Morey, he was great as the narrator for the first 4 books. Mr. Gelder has a very nice voice but there was no deviation in his tone for the different characters. Sam is suppose to have a deep, gravely voice and in this book he had anything but. It detracted from the story b/c I have read the all books and listened to the first 4 books with Paul Morey. It really ruined it for me and if Mr. Gelder does the final book, I will not purchase it.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Absoulutely!!

Wonderful addition to series, terrible narrator
Would you consider the audio edition of Bulletproof to be better than the print version?
Absolutely not. Paul Morrey wasn't a stellar narrator for the first two volumes, but at least you could tell when Sam was speaking...he had his low gravelly/growly voice down pat.Dane had the most ridiculous accent, but at least I could tell who was speaking. Gelder is a reader, not a narrator. I had to quit listening and drag out the book because he was ruining the story.
What did you like best about this story?
The continuation of the "epic" love story between Sam and Jory. I love these guys.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Jeff Gelder?
Sean Crisden, Shannon Gunn, Jeff Frez-Albrecht, Brad Langer, Chris Patton, Charlie David, Kevin R. Free, Paul Fleschner... pretty much any good narrator, even Paul Morey would have been so much better than Gelder.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Well, I especially loved the part where Jory and Sam meet up in the dark behind the club. Oh.My. :)
Any additional comments?
A wonderful continuation of the love story. Too bad Gelder ruined it for me.

Love this series!
Would you consider the audio edition of Bulletproof to be better than the print version?
No. I read the series as they came out.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Bulletproof?
I really enjoyed the entire book but Jory& Sam together is always great.
How could the performance have been better?
Narration. I had a hard time figuring out who was speaking. There is no deviation in tone between characters. The only other complaint I have is the awful music played in between chapters. Forget trying to relax and read this.. The music makes it impossible.
If you could take any character from Bulletproof out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Sam. I can't say why! ;)

Ruined by the narrator!
Gelder was terrible. He read the lines as if he were speed-reading and in staccato bursts. It was grating and turned a good follow-up to the series into a Did Not Finish. I now have to just make do with the Kindle book and check first before I buy the audio for But For You when it comes out. If it's not Paul Morey, I'm not buying. In fact, I'm going to ask for an exchange for Bulletproof since I could only tolerate one page:(

Another great one!
What made the experience of listening to Bulletproof the most enjoyable?
I love very one in the book...
What other book might you compare Bulletproof to and why?
n/a
Would you listen to another book narrated by Jeff Gelder?
I have and some books hes great but I rather the other narrator from the first two narrated this book. He had all the voices right so I hope the next book he is back!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Some parts made me laugh Jory is funny....
Any additional comments?
Bring back Paul Morey!

It was a matter of time...
I have had this book since March 2013, but after listening to Matter of Time Vol. 1, and immediately followed by A Matter of Time Vol. 2...I found myself sick of the characters and did not want to continue with their journey. So here it is July 2015 and I can say that after 'a matter of time' I finally remembered I had the book and listened to the story. I think Amy Lane stated in her review of this book that Jory's character matured a bit in this story and I agree. I was not put off by Jory's scatterbrain nor Sam's dominance...in fact the love between the two was mutual, which is something that I didn't see in the first two books. So, I like this book (though the premise is a bit farfetched---there is not that many gay rich men falling over one dude---sad to report) and would recommend, although I would advise a little bit of time between stories. I just discovered there is a #6 to this series...after a matter of time, we will see :-)

Would have been better with a different narrator.
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I would change the narrator. He has a nice voice, but his inflections at the end of sentences was a bit irritating. You know that thing where some people talk like each sentence is a question? That's how it sounded to me. Sentences that do not end with a question mark sounded like it did. Also, there was very little variation between character voices which made it difficult to tell which character was speaking in scenes where there are several characters talking and there weren't narrative clues like 'x said' then 'y said'.
Other annoyances were how the narrator spoke too fast, where he stumbled a few times and repeated some words or seemed like he was about to say something else.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Less of the whole 'Everybody Loves Jory' thing. It was getting really tiresome with how everyone just loooooooves Jory, wanted to sleep with him, or look like him, how everyone just kept telling him how beautiful, perfect, etc. he is. It would have been nice if Sam Kage had more scenes rather than all those random characters.
Would you be willing to try another one of Jeff Gelder’s performances?
Not unless he can change the way he narrates. Don't talk as fast, don't end sentences like they're questions when they aren't. Or having weird pauses within a sentence. He actually did Sam's voice pretty well, which is what stopped this from getting 1 star for performance.
Did Bulletproof inspire you to do anything?
Nope. Not really that kind of book.
Any additional comments?
I wouldn't mind buying this again if they got the same narrator that did the first 2 books (Morey) to re-do this one.

Great Book, Poorly Narrated
Would you consider the audio edition of Bulletproof to be better than the print version?
For the first four books in this series, the audio version was certainly better than the print, due to a fantastic reader. This book, however, was pretty poorly read. I find myself wishing I had read the print version instead.
What did you like best about this story?
It was funny and lighthearted, while still portraying a great relationship between Jory and Sam.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Jeff Gelder?
The narrator for the previous books in this series was fantastic.
If you could rename Bulletproof, what would you call it?
Hmm... think this was a great title for the book, so I wouldn't change it.

Another great story by Mary Calmes
Would you listen to Bulletproof again? Why?
I would definitely listen again for the story. I'm a huge fan of this series but would liked to have heard Paul Morey read this installment.
What did you like best about this story?
How strong the attraction between Sam and Jory is.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Jeff Gelder?
I would consider it but I doubt it.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
There were quite a few moments where I laughed out loud and other moments where I gasped out loud. Mary Calmes is a very good writer who pulls you in to her stories.
Any additional comments?
I hope for the next book in the series we see Paul Morey narrating again.

Disappointing Sequel
I love this author. The first installments were both well written and narrated. Unfortunately the change in narrator for this story created a loss of enjoyment. Known and established characters sounded different and were much less likeable. Names were not pronounced the same. The flow and intensity just fell short of expectations. I have the final book waiting in my library but have very little interest now in listening to it. ☹️

Oh dear :( not as good bring back Paul Morey!
I was looking forward to the third volume with more tales of Sam and Jory but this volume is not as good as the first two - a great sadness to me!
Having spent around 20 hours with Paul Morey's characterisation in the first two volumes the change of reader is to say the least bizarre and somewhat disappointing. There is nothing wrong with Jeff Gelder's reading it's just not Paul Morey.
I suspect the change of narrator has influenced my enjoyment to some degree.

More Jory and Sam!
Great to hear more about Jory and Sam, rated among my top five fave couples.
Why change narrator? After I slowed narration down to three-quarters it was fine, and by end I had adapted to new narrator.
Hate the music between chapters, just get rid of it. Don't need to tell me title of book every chapter.
So my complaints are about narration, but loved the book, and will listen again, but must slow it down.

Enjoyable sequel but spoilt by poor narration.
I loved the previous book " A matter of time" and fell completely in love with all the characters.The audio book was so well narrated by Paul Morey it was easy to relax and fall into the story, this book however is for me, a very different experience, the story is still good but I thought the narration by Jeff Gelder rushed, robotic and monotone and it spoilt the whole book. He has a totally different style of narration and and a very limited vocal range making it hard work to listen and connect with the story, I felt alienated from much loved characters. Sean Crisden would have been a better replacement as the have a similar tone and style.

Amazing Follow Up Story
This is a continuation from Matter of Time and if you love Jory and Sam you'll love this book as well.
As always Jory manages to find himself in trouble and with Sam undercover for a mission things only escalate.Mary Calmes once more wrote a great and quick passed story with a lot of sidelines so that the reader won't be bored to read all through it only about the main two characters. It truly is a gift of Mary Calmes to manage to make the reader anticipate the encounters between the two protagonists and she always delivers in the most hot fashion!
Now as far as the audiobook goes Jeff Gelder delivers a great Jory, but I prefer Paul Morey's Sam. It's annoying to have in every chapter the reminder of the book's title like you can ever forget but oh well. This reading also way better than the he did in Trusted Bond, more paced and with more diversity in voices. So really not to much to be dissatisfied over

I love Sam & Jory
Jory’s career has hit bottom his Husband Sam has been undercover for 3 months, and Dain as just fired another PA.
Jory accidentally finds himself in the middle of Sam undercover case which only proves, that no good deed goes unpunished and Dain’s always right.
Another instalment and it was a fun listen, unfortunately the audio does need a good edit.
