** A USA Today Bestselling Novel **Years ago, we were in love. She was an up-and-coming superstar and I was the security professional hired to keep her safe. We fell hard and fast, no matter how much we tried to resist one another. But not everyone around us was happy about our relationship, and a string of lies and deceit destroyed what we once had. I moved on from her and didn’t look back.Now … back.
Now I’ve taken the helm of a nationally renowned protective services company, and I’m looking to rebrand my career. The newly crowned Jameson Force Security is moving from the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas to the mountainous steel town of Pittsburgh, and the last thing I have time for is to deal with my past.
More than a decade has passed since our split, but even a bruised and battered heart remembers its first love. So when Joslyn Meyers comes to me for help, I reluctantly agree to keep her safe from a terrifying stalker who keeps threatening her life.
As the danger continues to intensify, it becomes clear that I’ll stop at nothing to protect the woman who turned her back on me all those years ago. Because one thing is certain—no matter how hard I try to convince myself otherwise, Joslyn still has my heart.

And now this author has a new fan!
This is my first new-to-me author this year, and I can’t believe it took me this long to try Sawyer Bennett.
Since the very beggining, I was enthranced, totally glued to the story and I just couldn’t put the book down.
The characters were strong and their personalities were addictive. They were flawed, yet full of wonderful qualities. They made mistakes, they made it right, they captivated each other and the reader (aka, me) and it was a wonderful rollercoaster.
Once consumed in love, Kynan and Joslyn were deeply wronged and they took different paths, none the wiser that their sense of betrayal was misplaced.
After over a decade, Joslyn is forced to look for Kynan for security, and the love they once thought was behind them comes back full force, giving them no other chance than aknowledge their feelings and finally figuring out what really happened in their past.
Their chemistry was all-consuming, their love was undeniable and their trust was finally set on the right place: each other.
The writing was amazing and the plot was so hot and thrilling. I can’t wait to devour this author.
I have had this series on my TBR list for ages. Sawyer Bennett is one of my go-to authors. I’m still working my way through her back list of goodies. I decided that I was going to start out 2021 with a series I’ve long wanted to read. Enter Jameson Force Security.
Joslyn & Kynan have a history. They haven’t spoken since their relationship crashed and burned years ago. When Joslyn finds her life in danger she needs help even if it means turning to the man that broke her heart. Things start off rocky but the spark is still there. As Kynan tries to keep her safe they dredge up old hurts. Will they be able to reconnect and better yet, can Kynan keep his promise and keep her safe?
This is a good start to a series. I’m looking forward to meeting the rest of the people Kynan hires for his security company. It’s looking like a great hot alpha series to keep my attention.
Wonderfully captivating and brilliant story of retrieving long lost love!
I really enjoyed this book.
I enjoyed it.
I loved the characters & storyline. I thought the language was too crass for me, way too many F-bombs. Also the sex was too graphic for me so I skipped much of that. The suspense was intense & love all the high tech gadgets.
This is a fast-paced riveting novel. The writing style is rather unique and adds to the story’s attraction. There are psychological twists which keep the reader guessing and wanting more. Difficult to put down. Great character development.
Enjoyed every minute of this book. Highly entertaining and a great love story!
Loved this first book in the series. I highly recommend you read/listen to Wicked Force first, which is the prelude to this book and will give you a good history of these characters. It is not required, though. You will be able to follow the story fine without it, but I recommend. Plenty of excitement, intrigue, romance, and definitely steamy scenes in this book. Imogen Church & Shane East deliver excellent performances in this audiobook and I definitely recommend!
This book is edgy, but still a great romance read with all the feels. I really enjoyed it!
I really enjoyed the two characters! It was a fast moving story with lots of twists and turns. A fun read!

Kynan McGrath is the very wealthy owner of Jameson Force Security. He can have anything that he wants, except the one that he needs. The one that got away, Joslyn Meyers. When this beautiful woman from ten years ago calls him up and needs his security services. This unleashes all his protective instincts and with that the love that has never left him.
Their story has so much chemistry and trust. Even from a decade apart.
5 Intense Stars!
I just found this series. Although, I have read other books by this author. I actually didn’t start with book 1 in the Jameson series. Not having to, however, I wish I had. I would have know the background the full background. Not to say if you start with a different book you won’t learn it. In book 1 Kynan is starting a security company. Not your typical one. Joslyn is a well know A list celebrity. Back when Joslyn was starting Kynan was hired to be security for Joslyn. Their started relationship only to have it end. Years later Joslyn seeks out Kynan’s help again. She has a stalker and needs his protection. I really enjoyed this story. I an definitely going to read the other books I missed.
Code Name: Genesis (Jameson Force Security #1) was a great read by Sawyer Bennett. Years ago Joslyn and Kynan were in love. She was an up-and-coming superstar and he was a security professional that was hired to make sure she was safe. Unfortunately all though they fell in love, a string of lies and deceit tore them apart. Joslyn now has a sucessful career, beautiful homes, and a bank full of money. Unfortunately she also has a dangerous stalker and a deceitful stepmother. Kynan now is at the helm of a protective services company and Joslyn comes to him for help from her stalker. I loved reading Joslyn and Kynan’s story and I can’t wait to read more by Sawyer Bennett.
Code Name Genesis is the first book in the new Jameson Force Security series.
Kynan and Joslyn were happy and in love. Then one day, without explanation, she broke things off and left. Twelve years later, Joslyn’s life is in danger so she goes to the only man she trusts for help, Kynan.
I adored Joslyn. She was a great person and really strong for what she was going through. As far as first impressions go, Kynan was a prideful arrogant ass! Dude was a jerk. However he does grow on me as the book progresses, but I felt he should have lost the attitude a little quicker once he learned Joslyn’s reason. The story progresses pretty smoothly and I enjoyed watching these two fall back together.
I really liked both the main and secondary characters, and thought this was a great start to the series. So much so, I’ve already pre-ordered book two. I’m excited to learn more about Cruce and see what happens in his book.
4.0-4.5 Stars
Code Name: Genesis
Jameson Force Security, Book 1
By: Sawyer Bennett
Narrated by: Shane East, Imogen Church
Jameson Force Security is going to be an amazing series. This is the first book and it not only gives us an amazing second chance romance, but introduces a cast of characters I can’t wait to get to know. Kynan has started this security agency and now is given a case to protect an actress from a stalker. Little does he know, it’s his ex-girlfriend. Joslyn needs help. The threats are becoming more prominent and the best in the business is needed to keep her safe. Kynan has a plan, but with this plan, old feelings are surfacing. Will this interfere with the investigation? Will the stalker get to her? So much is happening in this story. There is connection to the Wicked Horse Series, a great intro to the power of Kynan as he hires Bebe the hacker, and the second chance romance is sizzling. Suspense, heat, the unknown, the memories all are integrated into the twists and turns and had me hooked. I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to more of this series.
Sawyer Bennett must write her characters with her narrators in mind because the choice of Shane East and Imogen Church are Kynan and Joslyn. Each fits the persona so well, it is like they are telling their own story. I loved their performance.

Code Name: Genesis starts off Sawyer Bennett’s new Jameson Force Security series off with a bang! Combining great characters and an engaging storyline is what one expects from Ms. Bennett and she definitely has delivered on both with the added aspect of intrigue to make everything even more interesting!
Sexy, hot alpha man meets sassy, independent woman! Kynan and Joslyn have history and they have chemistry but a misunderstanding has kept them apart for more than a decade and now it takes a threat to Joslyn’s safety to bring them back together, but as they find out, somethings don’t always go as planned!
I had a chance to listen to the audio version and the narrators only added to the enjoyment of this story! So whether you decide to read the book or listen to the audible version, grab your copy and hang on for one hell of a ride! You will not be disappointed!
3.5 stars
An entertaining romantic suspense novel with some great chemistry, and a whole lot of alpha hero goodness. I also enjoyed the fact that, in many instances, the heroine saves herself in this one. So it bucks some of the tropes of this genre and makes for a more balanced and egalitarian coupling.
Talk about an action packed story! I loved reading/ listening to this! There is drama, suspense and sexiness. These are well rounded characters who get a second chance at love. Oh did I mention Kynan is British?! Who doesn’t want to listen to that for 7 hours? Shane East narrated the part of Kynan and holy hotness! That voice!
Anyway back on track. The characters are just lovely. They have each grown and changed since the breakup so I wondered at the beginning if a reconciliation was even possible. Kynan is so harsh to her. But their chemistry is off the charts! So maybe.
I loved seeing how the recruiting goes for this new group. The whole situation with BB was intimidating. I mean if he can do that…what can’t he do! The we get a meet with Saint and a few others. These are impressive guys!
I did listen to this on audio. Shane East and Imogene Church are the narrators. They did a wonderful job!
*4 Stars*
I finally got around to reading the first book in this series. It was a great introduction to this series, and the boss man behind the organisation.
Kynan is a pretty gruff, and alpha character, and it took me a little bit to warm up to him completely. I liked Joslyn right away. With their past, and some explanations that took a little bit of time to come out, I was wondering exactly what had happened and how things would play out.
It’s clear that their history isn’t in the past for either one of these guys, and its nice when things finally start coming together. For Kynan being tasked with Joslyns safety it just adds an extra level to things.
Not my fave in this series, but another great book from Sawyer as always, and a great way to introduce the boss man and also some of the characters who later get books. Would recommend.
