After I served my time, I decided to get on the right side of the law, or as much as my job at Jameson Force Security allows. The lines sometimes blur, which suits me just fine. My name might be Saint, but I’m a devil to most.My plan to go legitimate is going as anticipated, until my past and present collide in a big … big way. While in Paris preparing to take down a ring of highly specialized thieves, I come face-to-face with my biggest threat—and my most dangerous temptation.Sindaria “Sin” Westin was the love of my life, until her betrayal landed me behind bars. Now I’ve got to find a way to trust her again, at least long enough to pull off this job. When it becomes clear the price for this heist will be our lives, I realize I need to do whatever it takes to keep Sin safe, even if it means trading my life for hers. Because no matter the lies I’ve told myself, Sin’s greatest theft was the day she stole my heart.

This was one phenomenal read. Sawyer Bennett’s attention to detail was amazing. The descriptive way she writes each heist makes you wonder if she has personal experience with it. LOL. This story was so captivating you could not put it down. Her characters are always good but add to this one the heists and you have an incredible story. The details, the chemistry between Sin and Saint, and the excitement of the heists will keep you glued to every word. They have a past, the connection was already there but she was the reason he was sent to prison. He never knew the reason she “betrayed” him but now he knows and those feelings he had for her have returned and he sees her as his forever. The only thing standing in the way is completing this final heist and not getting themselves killed.
Heist is one fantastic, incredible, amazing read. A true 5 star read that you will not want to miss. It takes a hold on the first word and won’t let go until the final word. Sawyer Bennett has outdone herself as usual. She gives her readers everything and so much more.

I love Sin and Saint. This was a fun book that didn’t disappoint! I love this series and can’t wait for more.
So, overall, a really enjoyable read. The start was a little slow for me but once Saint and Sin met again, then it was all systems go. I found it an intriguing story with how the con artists operated, and the fact the story took place in different cities.
Saint is pretty gorgeous and debonair. He was like a gentleman crook with a pretty soft heart and a keen conscience. Sin is very similar to him in terms of her conscience. Neither are ruthless unless a human life is on the line. I loved their chemistry and the undeniable connection between them. Their feelings ran deep and I loved how they would do anything to keep the other safe.
Looking forward to the rest of the series.
I admit that I have been in a book funk lately. Thankfully Code Name: Heist landed on my kindle.
I got a rush reading this book. The thrill of the heists and the loving romance were a perfect combination.

Great story as usual. Sawyer has a flair for writing so you can really see the story unfold. Jameson Force is a special handpicked group of people who work just under the radar doing jobs most wouldn’t or couldn’t do. Saint is a former thief who was recruited for his skills. He thought he was done stealing until a special assignment puts him right back into his old ways. And who is the first person he meets but his former gf that put him jail in the first place. Can he make it through this job and protect her too?
Suspenseful with a little romance thrown in.
This story is full of suspense, intrigue, danger and bursting with a fierce attraction in this wonderful second chance romantic suspense that quickly captured and held my attention until the very last page. An absolute must read.
Saint Bellinger had spent years being a thief, but after getting out of prison he joins Jameson Force Security to go straight. So when Kynan McGrath comes to him with a job to infiltrate a well-known crew of art thieves, he cannot say no, even with all the danger that he will be in. But what he doesn’t count on is meeting and seeing her again.
Sindaria Havana “Sin” had been in a relationship with Saint, planning a life together until she betrayed him and lost everything. Now seeing him and having to work with him once again, all she can think of is, that she needs to let him know why she betrayed him. And with just a look, a conversation their chemistry comes flooding back.
These two have secrets that could hurt the other. But doing this line of work is a risk and they will need to come clean with their secrets to get through this together. Can’t wait for the next story in this series!

Sawyer Bennett’s series about Jameson Security is one of her best series to date. Each story has had a great couple and a well thought out plot. Sin and Saint were two of my favorite couples. First off, how can you not love the names…and then the storyline is that they are thieves of the wealthy. What a great plot. Saint works for Jameson Security as a reformed thief. He is sent to Europe on a mission for an insurance company to prevent a huge heist. He runs into Sin who is a former love and still a thief! Wonderful story, wonderful couple, and a great romance plot about trust!
What I really enjoyed most about this book was that the story was fast paced, suspenseful and it kept my attention throughout. I’m really partial to a second chance romance and this one delivered on that and set a back story for Sin and Saint that helped me to connect to the characters, I did, however, wish that there’d been a little more depth to the relationship side of things in the present as that all moved a little too quickly for me. That said, this was another enjoyable read from this series!
I was provided with a copy of this book from the publisher; there was no inducement or obligation and I opted to leave a review.
One of my favorite things about reading SB’s books is that I know she’s going to make my eyes sparkle with her description of some new tech. I don’t know if she makes up these things to fit her plot needs or if she really does her research with these romantic suspense novels. Either way, I’m drawn to her techy characters who work for the good guys to put away the bad guys. In this book, the third in the series, the good guy happens to be a former thief who’s gone straight and wants to take down the grand daddy of all thieves. The suspense is killer, but because the characters are so smart, it’s also fun to read.
Saint has served his time in jail for being a thief and is now on the right side of the law, that is until this new case comes to the Jameson Force Security and he’s the perfect person to pull it off. Saint has been hired to infiltrate an art theft ring and bring them down, unknowingly it puts him right back with the person that had him sent to jail and the love of his life, Sin.
Saint and Sin have a past, a good past until the day she left him to take the fall on a heist, she was doing it for the right reasons but he doesn’t know that. The chemistry is great between the two, hate sex, make-up sex, loving sex, we have it all and then some.
This was a fast paced romantic suspense that had you wondering if Saint was going to be able to get the job done that he was hired to do and get the girl at the end of it all. There is a major side story going on while this one unfolds and unfortunately I was at times more interested in that story which is still playing out and I have a feeling will be for a while.
I am really enjoying this series. I would highly recommend reading this book in order of the series rather than as a standalone because of the way certain story lines carry through the books. If you enjoy romantic suspense I would recommend this series to you.
Happy Reading!!!
Saint Bellinger used to be a high end thief but after his arrest and jail time he now works for Jameson Force Security. When the owner, Kynan approaches Saint with a new job of wanting him to infiltrate a well-known group of thieves who have been stealing high end items for an insurance company to ultimately shut the thieves down, Saint agrees. Little did Saint know that Sindaria “Sin” Westin, would be part of this group.
Sin and Saint used to work together on big time heists. At one time he was convinced the two of them would quit the business and find their happy ever after….up until she was the one who got him arrested! Now he needs to figure out a way to secretly work with her again as he tries to take everyone down. After spending time with Sin he learns of her reasoning for having him get caught and he slowly is able to forgive her. It seems deep down he is still in love with her. When the last big heist they are working on looks like it may cost them their lives, Saint decides to take matters into his own hand, much to Sin’s chagrin.
Just when it looks like everything is lost, Saint and Sin find a way back to each other and finally get their happy ending. I just adored this story! Saint and Sin were both such fun characters. Who could have thought you could fall in love with thieves! I just adored their names! Overall another great addition to this fun series. It gives you just enough intrigue with romance to really keep you reading.
This second chance romance was a fast paced thrill ride. Saint spent time in prison for theft. When he was released he joined The Jamieson group. His first big job finds him face to face with the girl who got him caught. This story kept me on my toes with all the heist they had to do to prove themselves so Saint could infiltrate a gang of thieves. I wasn’t sure either of them were gonna make it out alive. I wanted more! Exciting 4 star read
If you enjoy a good caper this book is for you! I’m a huge fan of romantic suspense and this book is top notch. It very much reminded me of the TV show White Collar. Both Saint and Sin were fantastic characters and it was a unique spin on a second chance romance.
Every time I think of Saint that “Smooth operator” song comes to mind. That describes him completely, smooth (not only in looks) and in total control. He thrives in extremely difficult circumstances and having to work again with an old flame (more like a bonfire), will test just how far he is willing to go and how crazy he is willing to get. In this book you will find talented and committed characters, action, surprises, crime and desire among other things. Saint will be always prepared and always a step ahead so this is one of those books where you just have to trust the character and enjoy the excitement.
So, 100% of the time I’m giving 5 stars to anything that Sawyer Bennett writes. She’s that good.
But this time I had to give 4 stars. It’s still a good read. There’s snarkiness and intrigue. You get those good vibes, but there’s also some sadness. And I loved the ending!
But I wasn’t too sure that I liked Sin. It’s not like I haven’t read books before that involved criminals. And make no mistake, she’s a criminal. Maybe she justifies her thievery by saying she’s just stealing from over-wealthy cocky people. But to never have to pay for her crimes like Saint did and to never have any consequences to her own actions, just didn’t sit right with me. Saint paid for his crimes and he’s more than happy to walk the straight and narrow so he was fine with me.
So, I felt this was worthy of 4 stars. I will continue to read and, I’m sure, love Sawyer’s future books!!
Book 3 in the Jameson Force Security, and Sawyer Bennett gives us more action, more danger, and more romance in this addictive thriller. When Saint Bellinger goes under cover to infiltrate a heist ring, he gets more than he bargained for when he’s partnered with his ex, the woman who betrayed him in the worst possible way, Sindaria ‘Sin’ Weston. Yes they really are Saint and Sin – I loved that little twist. However, in order to pull off the heist and catch the bad guys, Saint must put his past with Sin aside to discover what exactly the heist is. But, we get a spanner in the works when those pesky feelings start showing themselves again. Can they pull off the heist, and catch the bad guys without ending up getting caught by the authorities, or worse still getting killed? Is it possible they’ll get their happy ever after and live legitimately in bliss? So much happening, so many things getting in their way. Action, romance, and a story to keep you on your toes. Wonderful writing, and characters, I’m just loving Jameson Security Force. I received an advanced copy of this book. This is my honest review.
I’m really not sure why but this book dragged along for me. I just couldn’t get into it like I would have liked. I think I just couldn’t connect with the main characters at all. I won’t give up on the series though!!
If you like a good action movie, then this book is for you. The story reminded me of something you would see on the big screen. I will admit that is isn’t my favorite Sawyer Bennett book, but that’s on me and my tastes. Sin and Saint have a history. But, that history is full of loving and hurting each other. But the hurting comes from trying to protect the other. I think you could read the book as a standalone. Dual point of view. No cliffhanger.
