Code Name: Genesis

*****3.5 Stars***** Code Name: Genesis is the first book in the Jameson Force Security series. If you've read the Wicked Horse Vegas series then you've previously been introduced to Kynan McGrath. This is a spin off series of Wicked Horse Vegas. Jocelyn is Kynan's ex-girlfriend. She dropped him when she found out some rather unsettling information about him. Now she needs his help as she's got a stalker, and it's turned violent. I've been stewing over writing this review for a couple weeks now. I love this author and have read everything that she has written, but this book I struggled to get through. I really thought that Kynan was a jerk in the story, didn't feel he was an alpha male, thought he behaved more like a petulant child with his treatment of Jocelyn. Jocelyn went through a traumatic situation and takes all the nonsense he throws at her and does nothing. I didn't feel the chemistry with the characters, and when they get together, the story ends. The story line had so much potential, but just kind of fell flat with me. Overall, it wasn't bad, just was ok though. Hope this helps. Happy Reading!

This fast-paced book will keep you on your toes! In the past, I have only read this author’s sport romances so I went into this book not sure how I’d feel. Let’s just say Sawyer Bennett can write a great romantic suspense! Kynan cannot help but let his protective instincts take over when the girl who broke his heart 12 years ago approaches him for help. He is a sexy, strong, clever character that you cannot help, but love. Joslyn is no wilting flower as you will see throughout the book even though I wanted to shake some sense into her as she pulls something very bone-headed. Even though things ended horribly between them, she trusts only him to keep her safe as she battles with a stalker intent on destroying her. They were so young when they met and things were not always as they seemed back then, but the intense chemistry between them is still there and it is clear that they never stopped loving each other. There is a good deal of suspense and action which kept me entertained until the very end. Code Name: Genesis is a great first installment to what is sure to be an entertaining series. I received this book for free.

I have been waiting for Kynan's story since first meeting him in the Wicked Horse Vegas series. He's always been a mystery, so I was eager to understand this sexy Brit. This series is a spin off of the Wicked Horse Vegas series, but you don't need to read it or the crossover prequel novella Wicked Force to enjoy this book. I am a huge fan of second chance romances, and Kynan and Joslyn's story of young love gone wrong was right up my alley. The suspenseful elements kept the story moving and I loved getting to meet this new cast of characters. Kynan is 100% alpha male and though I wanted to throat punch him a time or two in the beginning, once he opens his heart again, he goes all in. I liked that Joslyn was a fighter and didn't just act like a damsel in distress the entire book. She certainly makes some mistakes, but she really shows her strength in the end. As much as I loved Kynan and Joslyn together, it took me a bit to really believe that their limited time together 12 years ago could stand the test of time. They certainly have chemistry though and once they reconnect, the sparks really fly! This was a great start to the series and I enjoyed the action as well as the romance. I'm excited to meet the rest of Jameson Force Security! 3.5 - 4 stars *I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book*
