Blackbridge Security #4-6
Blackbridge Security Collection 2
Box Set contains Truth Be Told, Calculated Risk, and Heroic Measures.
Truth Be Told
Lies ruin lives.
Ignacio Torres, the translator for Blackbridge Security, has told his fair share and then some.
He lied more than once to Tinley Holland when they were teens.
Told her he didn’t love her.
Told her he could live without her.
Told her what they shared didn’t mean a thing.
He’s lived with those lies, lived with the loss of her for over a decade.
What he didn’t expect was going home to help with a family matter only to discover Tinley has told the biggest lie of all.
Calculated Risk
As the fixer for Blackbridge Security, Quinten Lake is the man that comes in and cleans up after people make stupid decisions.
Which means he didn’t want to be the one teaching lustful women gun safety.
There were guys on the team better suited for the task.
Get in and get out, that’s his motto, something he lives by not only at work but also in his personal life.
And he could be doing just that if it weren’t for the internet.
But if #BlackbridgeSpecial wasn’t trending online he would’ve never met Hayden Prescott.
He wouldn’t be wondering why she won’t make eye contact with him.
He’s supposed to teach her the skills to protect herself, but his ego is encouraging him to be her means of protection.
She isn’t impressed, and he’s left wondering if she’ll ever open her eyes and finally see him.
Heroic Measures
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.
Series contains a band of brothers unwilling to just stand by and watch a woman in need, a foul-mouthed parrot who gets in everyone's business, and a level of steam you may not be ready for.

Fantastic series
This series carries on from the first box set. It’s set in the Blackbridge security team universe with lots of references to the previous 3 books so you need to have read those first.
Book 1
Ignacio travels back to his hometown to deal with a past he’d rather leave behind completely. However, a past love who has been hiding a life changing secret throw all his plans up in the air. Tinley never recovered from her first love’s cruel words. She is doing her best to hold everything together for her family, keep food on the table and care for her mother. She’s tired of fighting, scared and lonely but can she open herself up one more time?
I enjoyed this book. Tinley made so many mistakes and was too busy guarding her own heart to realise she was hurting everyone around her. Ignacio is a good guy through and through but was a reckless and stupid kid. Getting her to see who he’s become is a big challenge.
Book 2
Quinton has been tasked with hold in an introductory class on handing a gun for at risk women. He absolutely does not want to deal with that. Until he sees quiet and timid Hadley. She barely looks at him which makes him even more intrigued. Hadley doesn’t want to learn about guns, she doesn’t want to be around the huge (albeit handsome) instructor. She just wants to feel safe after a break in at her home.
I loved this one. There was a great action scene, some drama and a super sweet couple.
Book 3
Jude the resident medic and shy Virgin can’t turn down the attentions of Harley’s beautiful friend Parker. Parker loves nothing more than a blushing, stammering hot guy, but Jude’s situation makes her worry that he’ll be too clingy. When her past comes to her doorstep drunk and angry, will she realise that having someone to lean on would be pretty great?
I felt sorry for Jude most of the book, he knew what he wanted but Parker was hell bent on keeping her wall up. I hope we see more of them in the next book so we can see them as a couple.

This box set is filled with intrigue, suspense, thrills, chills and of course romance. I enjoyed going on these absolutely wonderful journeys with Ignacio, Quinten , Jude and their lovely counterparts. I also listened to these stories (as a box set) on audible. Narration was perfection!
