Heroic Measures

Blackbridge Security, Book 6

By: Marie James

Narrated by: Jacob Morgan, Callie Dalton

Opposites don’t just attract.

They captivate.

They entice.

They beckon.

As the medic for the Blackbridge Security team, he was just fine hanging out at the office in his spare time.

Jude Morris was...boring.

He didn’t need excitement.

He wasn’t a thrill-seeker.

Then, he met a woman who was.

Parker Maxwell, the only woman able to captivate, entice, and beckon him, was his antithesis.

The up to his down.

The light to his dark.

The hot to his cold.

He couldn’t take his eyes off of her.

She didn’t seem to notice him.

It’s going to take heroic measures for this guy to win the girl.

Hey Jude!

Loved listening to another Blackbridge book. Jude is kind of like the odd man out of the bunch.. Shy, keeps to himself most of the time. Until he meets Parker. Parker turns his world upside down and in and out. Another amazing book by Marie James and awesome narration by Jacob Morgan and Callie Dalton!

Love the shy ones!

I think Jude is the best. Being brought to life by Jacob Morgan makes him even better. It's the quite ones that will get ya. Parker is a commitment phobe and has meet her match in the shy medic of Blackridge Security. They both try to fight their feelings, but fail epically. Toss in a stalker, some super steamy scenes and Puff and you have one excellent reading experience. Sooooo good!

Another winner in the series.

The narrators did a great job. For fans of Puff Daddy, he plays a larger role this time and is hysterical with a birdtastic job by the narrator. I listened to this just a few days after reading the book version and was a little concerned it was too not. Not so. I caught things I had missed and really enjoyed some of the humor, even more, the second time around. A great addition to the series.

Jude and Parker are the most unlikely couple ever. She is vivacious, sassy, sexy-hot, and doesn't do relationships. They only meet because she is supporting her friend and her BFF's involvement with Blackbridge.

He's the company doc, super-smart, nerdy, gorgeous, and not sexually experienced. It isn't that he doesn't want relationships, just that he doesn't have experience trying to have one.

He was drop-your-jaw attracted to her. Strangely enough, she liked shy nerds. Not for keeps just for a little while. Neither expected to get together. The reason is pretty unexpected and knowing about them or not is a great reason for the guys to rag on him.

Are they gonna find a way to get over their hesitance? When danger changes direction will their feelings change?

We get to see the team and their teasing as well as the support for each other and yes, Puff Daddy makes an appearance or two. The group remains talented, strong, and the men you'd want supporting you in trouble. Another great story and characters not to miss.

Love Jacob Morgan!!

Love Jacob's narration, particularly of Puff Daddy!! Callie Dalton does a great job too. I liked the story but I'm sure I like it more as an audiobook than I would have if I had read it. The narrators bring so much into it.

My Thoughts on Heroic Measures

I just continue to be impressed by Marie James and the characters she creates and the plots she crafts. She has a particular skill with her leading men. They can be so very different from each other but they all make me fall in love with them time after time. This time around it was Jude. Blackbridge Medic, highly intelligent and resident shy guy. He was totally opposite from Parker. She is confident, sassy, jaded and aware of her affect on men. But the moment these two give into their attraction to each other their chemistry practically explodes from the screen. They both have their share of baggage from their pasts. And I kind of wish we had gotten to dive more into Jude's past. But the pacing and flow of this story along with the dialogue both between Parker and Jude as well as among the Blackbridge crew made this book even better. As always though the cherry on top was Puff Daddy. That is one truly excellent and hilarious parrot and I always look forward to the next moment he will be featured.

I'm so happy with the continued use of Jacob Morgan and Callie Dalton for this series. They both manage to embody these characters and keep me hooked on the emotion they convey, the high level of energy they bring and their overall performance. And it's truly that, an excellent performance the way they told this story.

Jude and Parker

Love this story both in written and audible. These narrators really bring this story to life and the emotions for each of the characters are so believable. The different tones for the characters and the scenes match up nicely and the story flows together very well.

Opposites attract

Jude and Parker should have never made the perfect couple but they balanced one another. His shy tendencies and her need for adventure were just what the other needed and the passion they ignited within each other would fuel their wildest fantasies. What should have been an illicit affair became the soul mate the other needed to breathe and get through their day. An absolute amazing performance by the narrators and Marie James does a magnificent job of adding to the Blackbridge series.

Amazing!!

I LOVED THIS AUDIOBOOK! Everything about this book from the narrators to the story. Everything is amazing!

Jude and Parker’s Measures

I found this book difficult to read and enjoy. Parker’s hardline standards was ridiculous at best, more over it didn’t make sense. Maybe if she didn’t also played the one wronged so often, it would be less frustrating!

Disappointed!

I have listened to the other books in this series and I must say I was extremely disappointed! It was all sex and no suspense/romance. I caught myself just wishing that it was not 35 chapters and that it would just end already. I must say, I fast-forwarded through all the sex scenes until just to not listen to it. Heroic measures my ass, more like sexual measures with no chance of romance.
