That book cover plus that synopsis? I was dying to get my hands on Code Name: Hacker. Our hacker is Bebe Grimshaw, who we met in book 1 when the hero from that book, Kynan McGrath, who was then forming the elite Jameson Force Security. He recruited her from prison, and got her out ahead of her 35-year prison sentence.

Six months after leaving the high security women't prison, Bebe, her son and her mom have settled in a little town just outside of Pittsburg. What Bebe doesn't know is that someone from her past want to tie up loose strings and has sent someone to eliminate her. That someone is sexy and bearded biker Griffin Moore, who had decided the fastest way to get close to Bebe was befriending her 10-year old son Aaron.

The Code Name: Hacker is the fourth book in the Jameson Force series and it can be read as a standalone. This whole series is so entertaining and fun and every book was a page-turner. I basically read (via audiobook) Hacker in one sitting. I love the characters, the friendship/found family among the Jameson team, the different espionage-y jobs they have to pull--all super fun and keeps me at the edge and reading through the night. While Hacker isn't my favorite (I just wish there wasn't that twist on Griff's characters about a quarter in), it was still a fantastic read! My favorite character was Bebe who I related to the most out of all the heroines so far in the series.

Like I mentioned, I read Hacker entirely via audiobook and it was excellent. Aiden Snow with his deep, manly man voice was perfect for Griff--I enjoyed his chapters just a bit more than I did Bebe's chapters in terms of performance. I liked Savannah Peachwood's Bebe too (I especially liked her boy voice for Aaron), but sometimes her inflections took me out of the story.

Overall, I recommend this series if you want a romantic suspense with a dash espionage and fun sexy times that you can read in one sitting. Hacker can be read as a standalone so feel free to pick it up whenever, but if you are reading the series in order there is an overarching story line and I can't wait until the next book!

I am completely obsessed with this series. Bennett has done such a great job character building throughout this series. I highly suggest that reader go through the other books first before reading this one. It does help tremendously.

Code Name: Hacker is the fourth book in the Jameson Force Security series by the talented Sawyer Bennett. I am loving this series and these men and women at Jameson. We've known Bebe for a while, she's their hacker and she's finally out of prison and trying to live a normal life. Then she meets, Griffin, a sexy, stranger in the park while she's with her son. He's sweet and seems to be interested in her and her son. She hasn't been interested in a man in a long time and Griff definitely interests her. And then she finds out why he's really there and who he really is. But it's not as bad as she thinks and when she finally realizes there's a way to have everything she's ever wanted, she needs to go all in. With Griffin. It's dangerous, but she isn't going to let that stop her. Will Bebe and Griffin be able to find their happily ever after together? Wow! I loved this story! I had the pleasure of listening to it and Aiden and Savannah were fantastic as Griffin and Bebe! I'm a huge fan of Aiden's and I just love his deep, sensuous voice and Savannah is so great at using her voice to show emotion. I was on the edge of my seat listening and couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next!

Book 4 in the Jameson Force Security Series. Can be read as a stand-alone, but I would advise to read in order, to get to know everyone, and to know the dynamics of the group, and what’s happening with the other members of the team.

Bebe. Computer specialist. Single mom. 10 year old boy. Living with her mom as well. Spent 7 years in prison and is now working happily as a ‘Hacker’ for the Jameson Group.

Griff. Sent to kill Bebe by the mobster she used to work for before she went to jail.
What is he going to do??

As always Sawyer Benner writes her stories so I’m glued to my kindle!! These twists and turns and the excitement in her stories is phenomenal!!!

I totally recommend this series if you like romantic suspense. These books are absolutely fantastic!!

I kindly received an arc from the author and voluntarily left a review

I have been waiting for Bebe’s book from the moment we first met her character. We’ve gotten glimpses of her throughout the series and we know her talents, however, it always felt that there was something missing and something more to her. Code Name: Hacker was everything I could have wanted and everything I didn’t know I needed.

Bebe is a hacker, a damn good one, she is a mom, a daughter, and a friend. She spent 7 years in prison for a crime, but now she works for the good guys. Despite being free, she wasn’t. Her past could come back and find her at any time. Griffin is helping a blast from Bebe’s past, the past that has finally caught up with her. However, what he didn’t expect is that there would be so much more to Bebe besides being a criminal and a hacker.

I love Bebe. I have since the moment she was introduced and love her even more now. She is insanely smart, she is honest, especially with her son about her past, she is hardworking, determined, strong and just overall amazing. Griffin was sort of a mystery. I hated him, then I loved him, then hated him again and finally loved him all over again. He is a man on a mission and will do whatever he can to complete it. He is protective, especially over Bebe the more he gets to know her. The two of them have loads of chemistry and despite a little hiccup in the middle that chemistry was there and brewing.

There was more of the Jameson crew, which I love! If you’ve read the previous book there is a little continuation across the storyline, however, it can be read as a standalone. I am counting down the days until the next release after the way this one ended!

Code Name: Hacker is a MUST READ and my favorite of the series to date! It has suspense, heat, action, and drama!

description

Bebe spent time in maximum security prison for hacking nuclear codes. Trying to rebuild her life with her mother and son as well as landing a dream job with Jameson Force Security, she does not give her time for anything else. While at the park with her son Aaron, a handsome stranger named Griffin befriends them and works his way into her life. The only issue is that Griffin and Bebe's meeting was not an accident as Griffin was sent to kill her.

Code Name: Hacker is a romantic suspense that is told from the first-person point of view and can be read as a stand-alone or as the fourth book in the Jameson Force Security series. Sawyer Bennett truly knows how to write a suspenseful novel that keeps you on the edge of your seat through the whole novel. I was excited to finally get to read Bebe's story and get a look into her life. It was nice to see her get a second chance at life, motherhood and romance. I can not wait for the next Jameson Force Security novel.
