3.89 AVERAGE


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.

Wow this author does it again. What a fab story

I had a lot of issues getting into this book. I’m really happy I gave it another try. It was worth the struggle because the story became great. I’m looking forward to see what happens next.

Code Name: Heist is the third book in the Jameson Force Security series by the talented Sawyer Bennett. I'm loving this series with these sexy men, the suspense and the women they fall for. Saint now works for Jameson Force Security, but he was once a world-class thief. Because of his skills, he is needed on a special assignment and is hit with his past. Sin. The woman he used to steal with. Love. And who betrayed him. Now they need to work together. He needs to find a way to forgive her and trust her again. Sin has always regretted what she did, but she had a very good reason. Now's her chance to come clean and have Saint back in her life. Even if it's just for a short time. Together they have to steal, take down a thief and try not to fall in love again? When danger comes for them again, will they make it out together this time? I loved this story! Saint is so dreamy! Sin is strong, sexy and so sure of herself. They are the perfect pair. They click in the bedroom and while they are stealing. It's a sexy dance! The Saint and his Sin. Perfection!

Yeeeesss, another great Jameson Group book by Sawyer Bennett! The more I read from these ‘boys’ and girls, I fall more & more in love with them!!!
That little side story inside the story has you begging the author to hurry up with writing so you can read the next book lol!!!

Saint, new at the Jameson Pittsburgh group, is a thief, or used to be, because he got caught stealing and spent two years in prison. Now, straight and narrow, he works for Kynan. But an insurance company needs his help, to find out about a planned heist. So he goes undercover...
And meets Sin again. His ex, who tipped off the police so he got caught!
Can they work together? Can Saint trust her?

Sawyer Bennett just has a way with words to suck you into a story which is fabulous! You feel like you’re also in this book, and it grips me every time!!
Can’t wait for the next book !

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

Action, suspense, Paris, London and a second chance romance. I completely DEVOURED Code Name: Heist. I was on the edge of my seat when it came to Saint and Sin’s relationship, plus their heists.

Saint is a world class thief, however, after a stint in prison he is legit. Sin, a woman from Saint’s past is still deep into the business, however, she wants out. These two had some CHEMSITRY.
Despite what went down years ago between them, that fire never went out. There was a reason for Sin’s decision, however, it was one that cost Saint a lot and put him through a lot.

Working undercover for a thief led to plenty of additional action and suspense throughout the story, but for Saint and Sin and readers it led to some pretty explosive scenes.

There were some events that occurred in Heist that didn’t get resolved involving some of the other members of the Jameson Force Security family and I can’t wait to see where that goes in the future.

Code Name: Heist can be read as a standalone, however, the first two books in the Jameson Force Security series are just as steamy and action packed. A MUST READ!

*ARC was provided by the author for my honest review*

Code Name: Heist is the third book in the Jameson Force Security series which can be read as a stand-alone or as part of the larger series. This book is told in the dual POV of the hero and heroine. Code Name: Heist is a second chance, enemies to lovers story.

Saint was a world-class thief until a stint in prison has him on the right side of the law now and working at Jameson Force Security. Everything is going as planned until a job brings his past and present colliding together. While trying to get in with the group he plans to take down his biggest threat is revealed. The love of his life and betrayer, Sindaria "Sin". Saint now needs to pull off the heist, trust Sin again and protect their lives.

Sawyer Bennett just keeps getting better with every book. Code Name: Heist was fast-paced, suspenseful and steamy. The attention to detail of the heists was phenomenal as was the heat, ferocity and passion between Saint and Sin. I can not wait for future Jameson Force Security books as they are only bound to get better!
