I’m not the same Bebe Grimshaw I was years ago. The woman I was spent years behind the bars of the highest security women’s prison in the nation, my punishment for hacking nuclear codes as part of a crime syndicate I’d gotten in way too deep with. The woman I am today doesn’t regret what I did, or the fact that I got caught, but I am remorseful for the years I lost with my son, Aaron. Released … from my sentence early thanks to Kynan McGrath, I joined his team at Jameson Force Security and now put my skills to use helping people.I’m just trying to get back a piece of what I lost, focusing solely on raising Aaron and my work at Jameson. As long as I have my son and my career, I’m content. But life has a funny way of letting you know exactly what you need, and when a devastatingly handsome stranger named Griffin befriends Aaron at the park, I have to consider I might be missing something. A part of me that was locked away long ago reawakens, and I find myself looking at Griff in a way I’ve not looked at a man in more than a decade.Just when I think things are starting to look up, my world is turned upside down. Turns out that meeting wasn’t an accident, and things aren’t going my way at all. Griffin Moore is the man sent here to kill me.

I absolutely loved Bebe’s story! She has had this air of mystery around her through the series and I loved seeing “behind the curtain.” Griffin was the perfect hero for her: alpha, protective, and supportive.
This is book #4, in the Jameson Force Security series. This book can be read as a standalone novel. For reader to understand series, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this fast paced series in order.
Briana Belle AKA “Bebe” has gotten a surprising second chance at life with her son. Getting out of prison seemed like an impossibility. Now she is in danger from her past and those whom she has never named when she was put away. She has no idea until the first man she has been attracted to in such a long time comes along.
Griffin knows he must do a job. Only the sparks he feels flowing between himself and the amazing Bebe are so new and amazing. While he does not want his employer to start a killing spree with his name on it, he also does not want to harm a hair on her head. Can they move on past the lies and the secrets?
Right from the very start this book was racing toward the finish line. With enough action to be made into a movie, this series and especially this story suck you in and fulfill an action hero need. Sexy with a good heat level that burns through the whole book, it still shows how a hard man can be tender.

4.25 stars–CODE NAME: HACKER is the fourth instalment in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult JAMESON FORCE SECURITY erotic, romantic suspense series focusing on the men and women who work for Jameson Force Security. This is Griffin Moore, and IT hacker Bebe Grimshaw’s storyline. CODE NAME : HACKER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Bebe and Griffin) CODE NAME: HACKER follows Griffin Moore as he is hired to take down our story line heroine. Several years earlier, Bebe Grimshaw, a single parent, was desperate and found herself working for the Russian mob, forced to hack the US government in an effort to steal nuclear codes. Unable to live with the guilt and the potential for worldwide disaster, Bebe intentionally got caught but seven years later, Bebe’s past has placed a target on her back. Enter Griffin Moore, the man hired to kill our story line heroine but a man whose secret is about to be revealed. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Bebe and Griffin, and the potential fall-out as both Bebe and Griffin find themselves staring down the Russian mob.
Bebe Grimshaw got early release when Kynan McGrath of Jameson Force Security vouched to our story line heroine. Hiding in plain site, Bebe would soon discover that her friendship with Griffin Stolz aka Moore would threaten everyone she loves. Griffin Moore knows a thing or two about an undercover investigation and has no plans to kill our story line heroine but once the truth about his assignment is revealed, the Jameson Force Security team work behind the scenes in an effort to save them both.
The relationship between Griffin and Bebe is predicated on a lie. Griffin has been stalking Bebe for several days and positions himself to be in the right place at the right time in an effort to befriend our heroine at her most vulnerable. Bebe struggles with Griffin’s ability to walk into her life, a life in which she is responsible for more than just her own. The Sex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
Once again, several of the Jameson Force security team members play secondary and supporting roles including Team commander, security specialist and former British Special Forces agent Kynan McGrath, Cage Murdock, Merrit Gables, Saint Bellinger, Cruce Britton, psychiatrist Dr. Corinne Ellery, and strategist Dozer Burney; PA Anna and Bebe’s son Aaron.
CODE NAME: HACKER is a story of secrets and lies; betrayal and revenge; family, friendships, and love. The premise is intriguing and engaging; the characters are colorful, energetic and strong; the romance is captivating and seductive. CODE NAME: HACKER ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.
Wow! This book is so amazing! From the characters, to the intensity, to the plot, it has to be one of my favorites from this series so far! Talk about being thoroughly entertained!! Although I can’t say I’ve been disappointed in the least by this wonderful series but there is just something about Bebe finally getting her HEA and vindication all in one fell swoop that makes me so happy!! I love Griffin so much! I just knew he was one of the good ones!! I love Bebe and Griff for each other and they have amazing chemistry but the way he is with her son Aaron simply makes me swoon. Sawyer Bennett delivers all the goodness with this story! I love that we always get the team in each book and that the back plot regarding Malik’s fate that has been going on is still very much there, and in fact I can’t wait for June!! I loved this book! And this whole series is just brilliant!
Out of all the Jameson Force team members, I have been looking forward to Bebe’s story the most and I was not disappointed!
Bebe made difficult and sometimes bad choices previously- choices which landed her in a high security prison until Kynan showed up to recruit her to Jameson Force Security. She has done her time and paid her dues, but she still feels like she has to do more every day to atone for the past. She lives every day with the goal of being the best mom possible to her son Aaron and throws herself into her work hoping that the cosmic scales will eventually balance out before it’s her time to move on.
When Griff comes into her life, she is shocked at her own response to him. He is like her own personal dream man come to life visually, but his personality pushes all the right buttons too. It doesn’t hurt that he treats Aaron well either. Unfortunately Griff is not what he seems, and hell hath no fury like a Bebe who has been lied to particularly if those lies have the potential to hurt her son!
Her biggest fear has always been that her past would come back to haunt her and those fears are being realized. Despite the fact Bebe has never divulged her contacts or buyer for the hack that landed her in prison, the psycho she stole the data for has now decided she is a loose end that must be tied up. To keep her son and mom safe, she must take extreme steps to finally bring him down once and for all so that they can all live without looking over their shoulders. Once she gets past Griff’s true motives for coming into her life, she is happy to have his expertise to lean on in more ways than one. These two are absolutely combustible when they get together, and their chemistry in all areas of their lives was palpable.
Hacker was fast paced, action packed and full of moments that showcase exactly how the Jameson Force team is rapidly becoming more family than co-workers. Kynan’s protective instincts extend to all of his employees, but his actions make it obvious he has a soft spot for Bebe which earns him Griff’s respect very quickly. This story absolutely flew by and I was sad to see it end, but that ending brought us a very tantalizing tidbit about a missing piece of the team. Let the countdown begin to Code Name Ghost!
ARC received from author
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!
Code Name: Hacker, the 4th book in the James Force Security Series tells the story of Griffin and Bebe. You do not need to read the previous books in the series, as this book can be read as a stand-alone.
Griffin was hired by a Russian Mobster to eliminate Bebe, who previously worked for the mobster. While watching her every move, Griffin reveals who he truly is and the two work together with the Jameson team to bring down the Russian mob.
We learn more about Bebe’s background and we see how the relationship between Griffin and Bebe grows. This story had me from page one and keeps you riveted until the very end. Bebe is a kind, loving single mother who takes care of her son, as well as her mother. She is making up for lost time and Griffin is a softy for Bebe’s young son Aaron.
This is one book you will not want to miss and one of the best in the series. Code name Ghost, the next book in the series releases in June and I for one cannot wait!
My initial thought was “How is Sawyer gonna turn this around?” Griff is supposed to be the bad guy, right? He’s been dispatched to kill Bebe. We know he can’t do that, so hows this gonna work? The bottom line is…never. doubt. Sawyer.
I was not disappointed! Despite Bebe’s reservations about her new lot in life, she’s about to take the bull by the horns when it comes to Griff. The question becomes, will she regret it?
So worth a 5 star review. Bring on Malik’s story!!!
Suspenseful. Sexy. Engrossing. Unforgettable takes on unpredictable and it’s anybody’s guess who will win. There are few authors that can captivate me by just picking up a pen and adding their thoughts to paper. Sawyer Bennett is one of them. There is always a twist that sets hearts to racing. Code Name: Hacker is a story on the edge. From romance to intrigue, I was all in. Bennett spotlights courage and new beginnings while luring emotions into dangerous territory. Bebe’s quest for redemption is an all encompassing thriller. Hope and heartache have lasting repercussions for a woman with nothing to lose.
I am loving every episode we are getting from the Jameson Force Security, and Bebe’s story is right up there. She holds her ground with her skill set and also her back bone that she developed along the way from hardship, being in prison and keeping her family safe. The day she meets a helpful man in the park, teaching her son to throw a ball, starts something that is so unexpected and astonishing.
Griffin is not the man he made out to be, and it only gets more intriguing as the storyline unfolds.
You can start this series with any book, as they are all standalone novels, but reading them in order will give you a feel for the whole team and how each of them found the Force and their significant other. Bebe was picked up by Kynan, straight out of prison, and is using her hacking talents for the greater good. But they are all rocked when they discover that Griff has been sent to kill her. Level heads must be met to stay focused and bring the man behind it all to justice.
You can’t help for fall for Bebe, she was very intelligent and a little naive in relationships but she learns fast with Griff. He had a few sides to his personality and could be a chameleon if need be. You have to love a man that is so protective, he would literally throw himself into a bullet for the woman he loves. Griff would go to extreme measures to keep Bebe and her family safe. This series is classified as suspense or military romance, and I enjoyed that aspect of the storyline too. I had a few moments where my heart was in my mouth and then I was teary. I got all the feels with this one.
Up next is Malik with Code Name: Ghost and I am scared but also excited to see he’s safe and wanting to know what happened and is he ok? I feel if anyone needs a HEA, than this man is at the top of the list.
My favorite Jameson Force Security book yet! Bebe peaked my interest from the first moment she appeared in book one. I needed her story and WOW…. not what I expected, it was so much better! Bebe and Griff’s story was filled with so many twists and turns I definitely didn’t see coming and absolutely left me jaw-dropped and wide-eyed. Everytime I read a book from this series I end up more invested in this team and anticipating the next story that I know will rock my world, which I have no doubt will happen with the next book Code Name: Ghost!
Fast paced and intriguing as ever. Lana~White Hot Reads
Bebe is like no other female I have read. She is smart, beautiful and a world class hacker. We finally get her story and what a story it is. I was not expecting some of the turns that happened but boy was devoured it. Her instant attraction to Griffin was spot on and he became someone you root for. I can’t wait to see what else she can do for Jameson Force in the next coming books.
***Edited to add audio thoughts***
4.5 Stars!
I love this exciting and sexy series! Bebe and Griffin continue the sensual suspense with their riveting romance. Bebe gave up her life to protect her family and her country. Now she has a new life thanks to Kynan and Jameson Force Security. She is working hard to make up for lost time with her son and for redemption from her past. Griffin finds his way into her life, being a strong male roll model for her son, Aaron, and a big sexy alpha that makes her feel alive. But just when she thinks she can have it all, Griffins secrets come to rip her whole world apart for good this time. I loved this thrilling, provocative, and sexy story, and the twists and turns it took had me on the edge and totally engaged. Bebe and Griffin are so great together and their chemistry is off the charts. Of course the whole Jameson family are essential to this story being over protective and supportive, but having fun together as well. I love how Bennett has each of their lives progressing, making us care for them, and wanting to find out what happens next.
The narration by Aiden Snow, and Savannah Peachwood was flawless. They were so perfectly cast to bring Griffin and Bebe to life with all their convictions, courage, vulnerabilities and passion. I loved Snows deep voice, and his timbre fit the rough and dangerous Griffin so perfectly and Peachwood really made me feel all the apprehension and excitement Bebe went through as she was taking back and finally living her life with no regrets.
I loved this thrilling, provocative, and sexy story, and I can’t wait for the next adventure with this Jameson Force Security team!
Code Name: Hacker is the fourth book in the series and is about Hacker Bebe and Griff, a mysterious man who introduces himself to her and her son at a park. Bebe is trying to live her life and work at Jameson Security after spending seven years in federal prison for espionage and hacking into the government for nuclear codes. While at the park with her 10 year old son, she meets Griff, a mysterious man that she connects with. Griff has an ulterior motive which brings back Bebe’s past. I had been looking forward to this story for a while. It was sweet, with the right amount of romance and action. The couple quickly falls for each other, but in a very realistic way. I can’t wait to read the next book.
My Goodness!! What an exciting and heart stopping story!! Sawyer has outdone herself once again!!!
4.5 Code Name: Hacker just may be my new favorite of the series. I loved Bebe and Griff! They’re perfect for one another and I loved reading about their relationship. They certainly have a few bumps in the road, but they have a strong connection. The storyline was really good and kept me hooked, especially with the plot twists. You never know what’s in store for this group of individuals because of their job, and that’s part of what makes these books so interesting. I absolutely cannot wait for Malik’s book! I can tell it’s gonna be a really good one, possibly taking the top spot of the series. *I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.*
Yes yes YES…a thousand times YES.
I mean come on – this book was amazing from start to finish. I’ve been waiting for this book since we met Bebe in book 1. I had high expectations with who she ends up with and boy was Griff the right man for her. He was a good man with brains to match and don’t even get me started the way he protected her.
This series is seriously growing on me. We have action packed drama with just enough hot and steamy moments to keep us at the edge of the seats just rooting for the right guys and their HEA’s.

4.5 stars
I think this is my favorite Jameson Force book so far! Bebe and Griff’s story was everything I wanted and more. I’ve been intrigued by the enigmatic hacker since the start of the series and couldn’t wait to read her story. Code Name: Hacker is book 4 in the Jameson Force series, but it can be read as a standalone. It would be most enjoyed, however, if read in order since characters from the previous books do appear.
Griff was a fantastic hero and was equal parts alpha and teddy bear. I appreciated that these two were mature adults and that they didn’t play games. They only had eyes for each other, and they communicated what they wanted, needed, and hoped for before misunderstandings/hurt feelings could occur. Their chemistry was scorching hot and I loved all the build up. Griff really showed what a generous guy he could be 😉 Sawyer Bennett threw in a fantastic twist that I didn’t see coming and the suspense/action kept things moving. The ending wrapped up a little too quickly and neatly, but this was a really entertaining and sexy read. I can’t wait for Malik’s story next!
*I voluntarily read an advance review copy of this book*
Secrets, deception, murder, intrigue, and a Happily Ever after that will keep you smiling for days! I absolutely adore Sawyer Bennett’s writing. Her story telling is so gifted that the reader can’t help but to become invested in each series. When I read the books associated with Jameson Security Force series, I feel like I am part of the team.
This book is full of secrets… secrets that put Bebe Grimshaw behind bars in order to save her family, and secrets that got her out. Now she uses her super hacking powers for good. That is, until a threat from her past puts an end to the “normal” life she is trying to build with her son and mother.
Griff’s world is based on deception. He risks everything he has worked for, and his own safety to save the very woman that he is supposed to bring down. He realizes that love is complicated, and he never thought that he would want a family of his own, until Bebe. They will have to work together to end a criminal empire in order for any hope for a future together.
*5 Stars*
ARC kindly received in exchange for an honest review.
I have been intrigued by Bebe since the first time I read about her, and that wasn’t even the first book in this series, because silly old me has read them out of order (luckily they can all be read as stand-alones).
I was so stoked when I saw that this book would be Bebe’s story, and I wasn’t disappointed. She is a really cool character, who has been through a lot. She’s had this new start and new chance thanks to Kynan, and she is a such a genuine character, that you’d be hard pressed not to like her.
I was getting into this, and believing one thing in particular about Griff, next minute, that’s all thrown to pieces. He is also a really interesting hero in this book, and he is really well matched with Bebe, despite some obvious career differences.
I really like the way this book works, and its a great story to get captured by. The characters we are familiar with from the other books in the series are back, and I really like the bond between them all. They really are like a little family in a way. And, there was also one big shock right at the end, and I’m now like *GIMMIE THE NEXT BOOK!*.
Enjoying this series, and definitely recommend this one.
