Publisher's summary

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.

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.

Ok story

This was an ok book. The storyline a little unbelievable that there would be a 31 year old male virgin. Parker was very unlikable and irritating. also why even mention Deacon and Anna having a freaking baby and not even tell what she had and what they named the baby. That is so stupid. The only good thing about this book was the bird Puff Daddy. The permanence was good.

The geek and his girl

Jude is the medic for Blackbridge and is a reserved guy…possibly one of the last remaining virgins at 31. That is, until he meets free spirit, Parker. With chemistry that’s off the chains, there’s no doubt that a fling is going to happen. But Parker has a huge secret, one that may prove to be deadly. Will there be an HEA in the future? Throw in a dirty talking parrot and you have an enjoyable story.

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’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!

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.

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!
