Sin and Saint have to be the best character names I have heard in a long time. And what a couple they are. Sawyer Bennett's third book in the Jameson Force Security series had me hooked from the beginning and I couldn't wait to see how this all played out. Saint is out of jail and working for Jameson. Now on the right side of the law, he finds himself undercover as he penetrates into a huge jewelry heist. What he doesn't expect to see is the woman he not only loves, but who put him in jail working for the same criminal. And now with a second chance at love, Saint does his best to keep Sin safe as they get in deeper, but will it all work out? Will they come our free and together? I love second chances, and this one is right up my alley. Saint is not only handsome, but just has that protectiveness that you want to hide in. Sin is so smart and cunning, I love her spunk and the way she loves. It's got steam, suspense and is an all around fun listen. You do not have to listen to the first 2 books to be able to enjoy this, so grab it!

Joe Arden and Mackenzie Cartwright are amazing, and with this book they add so much to the reading! They have wonderful accents and really compliment each other. Loved them together and can't wait for more.

You know when you put Saint and Sin together you are not only going to get sparks but you might just get and explosion. With a fast paced and sultry story I fell into another great read in the Jameson Force Security Series. As each page turned it felt more and more like I was watching something on the big screen. The characters came to life in my head and I did not know what was going to happen next. Once again Sawyer Bennett does not disappoint.

With a name like Saint we certainly don't expect a criminal, yet that is exactly what Saint Berringer was before he was betrayed and end up in prison. Now he's part of the elite group at Jameson Force Security and is being tasked with infiltrating a ring of thieves planning a major heist.
Saint never expected to face his past when he goes undercover. Sin is shocked to see Saint and definitely wants to clear the air. She still feels the chemistry that always pulled at them and she doesn't want to stay away. With the danger from the heist looming can they find a way out intact?
This third book in the series is fast paced and filled with lots of turns. It's almost like Sawyer has a thief on speed dial.

2.75 stars! I liked the heist elements, but honestly I was anticipating a more angsty story (being that the h landed the H in jail) with a more satisfying reconciliation.

*I received a free copy of Code Name: Heist. This has in no way influenced my voluntary review which is honest and unbiased.*

Fancy the heist of the century? The millenium? That's partly what I got with Code Name: Heist. I also got a second-chance at love that was delicious and filled with past betrayal. There was a good dose of suspense, and also some very strong heart-ache due to a parallel story arc.

Bennett is so good at making her readers care for her characters, and I truly loved both Sin and Saint! Of course, meeting up with the other Jameson Force Security characters was an added bonus.

I actually binged Code Name: Genesis (book 1) and Code Name: Sentinel (book 2), prior to picking up Code Name: Heist. I'm a bit anal when it comes to reading series, even ones where each book can be read as a stand-alone, which is the case with the Jameson Force Security series because each book focuses on a different couple. However, I am so happy I made the decision to read the books in order because I am having such a fun time with this series--each book was exciting and fast-paced with a high-stakes security problem that kept me glued to the pages.

With that said, Code Name: Heist is my favorite out of the three so far. We leave the United States and jet off to Paris with our hero, Saint Bellinger, a former thief who was tasked to infiltrate a crew of thieves who are planning a major heist. Saint was surprised to find his former lover and the love of his life, Sindaria "Sin" Westin, part of the crew. There was lots to love in this book! The title doesn't disappoint--we witness a few heists in action which are so fun to read! We travel to several European countries! We get a second-chance romance with an interesting couple--they both have their own issues personally and with each other, but they communicated and confronted about what happened to them in the past right away which I so appreciated. Saint and Sin also had great chemistry and their intimate scenes were hot and sexy.

I read Code Name: Heist via audiobook and the narrators Joe Arden (who read Saint's chapters) and Mackenzie Cartwright (who read Sin's chapters) did an excellent job bringing the story to life. I especially enjoyed Mackenzie Cartwright's narration--to my [untrained] ears, she did a good job with the accents. I always measure an audiobook on whether the narration elevates the novel and the narrator(s) adds an extra depth to the story I wouldn't have gotten if I was reading it on my own, and I think Joe Arden and Mackenzie Cartwright did just that. I highly recommend the audiobook!

If you're looking for a romantic thriller series to binge, I highly recommend the Jameson Force Security series and once you get to Code Name: Heist, you're in for a treat! But, if you just want to skip to Heist, go for it--it can be enjoyed as a standalone.
