Review: Calculated Risk

Calculated Risk (Blackbridge Security #5)
by Marie James

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.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My review:

Calculated Risk is the fifth book in the Blackbridge Security (BBS) series but can be read as a stand-alone. I have not read the entire series, but I have found that they are easy to read as stand-alone. Although I want to read them all eventually. It was fast-paced and full of wit and intrigue. The main characters were developed and very likable. Quinten had a tough exterior but deep down he was a huge teddy bear. He did not want to teach the six-week class on gun safety to women, but the BBS wanted to help women who needed it. Hayden did not want to attend the gun safety class, but her friend convinced her. Her house had been broken into and she wanted to overcome her fear. She was so brave to finally overcome her difficulties. I loved revisiting and meeting the rest of the Blackbridge teams and look forward to reading their stories in the future.
I received an ARC and am willingly leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my won.
