4.5 stars – loving Jameson Force men!
So this story surrounds Saint and Sindaria aka “Sin” who are former lovers who are thrust together again. To complicate matters even further, Sin’s betrayal is what landed Saint behind bars. When he gets out, he joins Jameson Force Security.
His new assignment involves his former life and that’s where he meets Sin again and finds out why she truly did what she did.
This one has some steam, some wit, some banter, and some thieving.
“While I might want her badly, we have so much to figure out. I went straight…working a legit job. Sin is a world-class thief. Those two lifestyles don’t mesh.”
This one has some predictable twists, but it’s an enjoyable read and looking forward to more from this group.
I voluntarily requested and read an advance reader copy.
***4 Stars***
This was a fun, smexy second chance romance with a good dose of suspense added into the mix that kept things interesting and kept me turning the pages until the very end.
Sin and Saint. Yeah, I did the whole giggle and roll my eyes thing when I read that, but they both definitely complemented each other in every way possible. Both are charming, sweet and highly intelligent, and considering their profession (ex in Saint’s case) it certainly comes in handy. But they also have huge hearts and will go to extremes to keep those they call their own safe.
Their journey to their HEA was definitely an interesting once, considering how intimate they had once been, but I really enjoyed watching as they dealt with the past and found their way back to each other. Their bantering was a lot of fun, the chemistry intense and I loved how well they flowed together. The bump in the road was an interesting one, I didn’t take a side, but I did like how things worked out for the pair in the end.
This was a fun read, a little predictable in some ways, but still a good read and a good addition to the series as we got to have some time with the Jameson crew. And speaking of the crew…that subplot that was started in this book has me making grabby hands at the next two because Oooweee, things just got even more intense and I cannot wait to see how it all works out.

Saint and Sin …..
Saint is part of the Jameson Force Security. Before joining Jameson Force Security he was a legendary thief that landed in jail and when he came out, became a part of Jameson. For this security job, he had to become a part of a group of thieves to figure out (and hopefully prevent) a huge heist.
As Saint lands in Paris to work his way back into a group, he sees Sin. Sin is a past lover, who crossed him on their last job together which landed him in jail. He wants to hate her but he’s still attracted to her, but can he ever forgive her. They have to work together but will it become more? will they pull off the heist? will they both be around once it’s over?
Sawyer Bennett is a one click kind of author and this is one of the many reasons why.
This was definitely not your typical second chance romance. And that was a refreshing change for me. Plus I love when the “bad guy” turns good. There’s plenty of steam mixed in with the danger and suspense and great world building to keep you interested in all things Jameson.
Saint Bellinger is starting over and going legit this time around. After serving time for a heist gone wrong and paying for his actions with more than just prison time, he is determined to do things right this time. Though he wants to do things above the law, a job comes through Jameson that requires his thievery skills and working behind the laws one more time. In the course of the job he runs into the woman he once loved, the woman who betrayed him, and if this last job is to be a success he is going to have to find a way to work with her again.
Sindaria “Sin” Westin is an expert lockpick, following in her father’s footsteps. She is tied to a crew she doesn’t like, but breaking with them isn’t worth the cost.
The backdrop of the heist kept tension high throughout this story. As Saint and Sin work together they have to rebuild trust that was lost before Saint went to prison. The secrets Sin has kept change the course of much of their story. But as they continue working this heist together, more secrets build, threatening the fragile peace they have found. I found their relationship to run just as high as the threats swirling around them. They are working together closely in high stress, leading them to set aside petty worries to focus on what matters most: how to pull off the job while keeping their lives.
This story is a little more disconnected from the rest of the Jameson Force group, because of the side of the law Saint is running on to complete this task and the geographic setting, but the bits of the team that do show up in the story are a nice thread to tie these two to the Pittsburgh group. There are some teasers for future stories for other team members that have me anticipating the continuation of the series.
So here’s the thing – the whole second chance at love is my favourite trope but see how it was too much about the job rather than their way back to each other I have mixed feelings about my liking it this story. I know this is not a “normal” romance book but I would still loved more connection between MC’s. Don’t get me wrong it was an OK read but nothing extra special like I’ve become accustomed to Sawyer Bennett’s work.
It’s breaking my heart but this is a 3.5* read for me. I’m just hoping this is a case “it’s not you it me” kinda book because I really like this series.

Wow! What a story about Sin and Saint. Be prepared for a ride like no other. It was fast paced with lots of adventure. I have loved this series. Highly recommend.
After being released from prison after spending two years for burglary, Saint has now come to work for Jameson Security and is tasked with going under cover to investigate a huge heist that is being planned. There he encounters his former love Sin, who was the reason he was sent to prison in the first place. Code Name: Heist was such a thrilling book that covers suspense, action, and romance. Sin and Saint were perfect for each other and I loved how they were able to forcgive each other for past and present; their love was the answer. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
I loved the complicated relationship between Saint and Sindaria. Their past is one for the record books until Saint learns the reason she set him up. If he doesn’t believe her then there is no way they will ever be able to work together now. And he will not be able to pull his real job with Jameson Force.
Sin can’t believe what she is seeing when Saint walks in but she has to make him understand that she was only trying to save his life. And yes having him get arrested and sent to prison was a lot better than him being killed.
So can Saint and Sin move from the past and work together to bring down this big heist? Will they be able to make a future together or will the past come back to haunt them? If they get caught, who will sacrifice who?
Although I loved this story, it was not my favorite. It did hold my attention but it did not keep me glued to every word as the other ones have. It is filled with suspense, intrigue, lust, a second chance at love, past hurts, and a really big heist. It will keep you on the edge of your seat waiting to see if they can pull it off or get caught. Don’t get me wrong, it is a great story. So sit back and enjoy it with your favorite drink in a comfy chair in front of a warm fire.
**I received a free copy of this book to read and review and this is my honest opinion**
I’m not normally a fan of second chance romances but this one was done just right! Loved the chemistry and connection between Sin and Saint, the perfect mix of suspense and romance I could not put it down. This is definitely my favourite Sawyer Bennett series for sure.
Saint and Sin- an ironically named match. But it’s a second chance romance where the stakes are high. I like how the Jameson Security books all have a good amount of action in them. It definitely keeps my interest and makes it hard to walk away. Like, who wants to take a break to clean or do laundry when someone is trying to pull off a very dangerous mission?
No matter what they’ve gone through, in the long run, Saint and Sin have remained true to each other and belong together. I also love her dad, and the mention of other members of the team. Something terrible happens to some of the Security firm, which I wonder how it will affect future stories and already has me anxious to know what’s happening. You could read this on it’s own, though.
Sawyer Bennett delivers this fabulous, action packed, nail biting, suspenseful story. Saint is part of the jameson Group and he must go undercover to his old career to catch a thief. Sin is the one that got away and put him in jail. They are perfect together but he hates her for what she did to him, but he remembers their explosive chemistry in bed and he wants that feeling again. She did not have a chance to explain to him, why she did what she did, but seeing him, brings back memories that she cherishes because he was the one. This is like watching a suspense movie and you can’t determine who’s the villain. Great story and characters. I honestly volunteered to review this arc.
Code Name: Heist by Sawyer Bennett is the third book in the Jameson Security Series and can be read as a stand-alone.
Saint is a world class thief who is now working legitimately “on the right side of the law” and while preparing to take down a thief ring runs into the woman, “Sin” who betrayed him and put him in jail.
This book contains suspense, heat and drama. Will Saint and Sin find their way back to each other, or will the anger Saint feels for Sin ruin the case, as well as a possible future?
Ms. Bennett always writes characters that are vivid, serious and also have a humorous side. This book was a fun read and I look forward to book 4 in the series, which releases in March and will tell Hacker’s story.
Holy smokes this book was filled with so much drama, suspense, action and a second chance love story that I couldn’t help but inhale page after page of this amazing story! Saint a former thief is new to the Jameson team but ends up on a job where he is thrown back into his former lifestyle, as well as, coming face to face with his former love. Sin regrets what happened between her and Saint but felt she was saving his life; however, the real question is will she be forgiven and can they rekindle their romance? If you’ve enjoyed the Jameson Security series so far then you’ll definitely enjoy this book, it quickly became one of my favorites in this series! If you love a great second chance romance than be prepared to immerse yourself in this story that you won’t want to end.
Saint and Sin are the perfect couple. Lana~White Hot Reads
These two thief’s are perfect for each other. They have a past like no other and the love between them still exist. As they reconnect while doing a heist, answers are given and forgiveness is given as well.
This third book in the Jameson Force Security can be read has a stand-alone, it follows Saint when he goes undercover to bring down a heist operation.
A intriguing plot with incredibly sexy characters and chemistry so hot it’s off the chart
You know you are looking at a great read when you are drawn in from the first couple of pages and Code Name: Heist book 3 in the Jameson Force Security Series did exactly that and as they say the rest was history, there was no putting down until I had read the final line.
This book is Saint and Sindaria (Sin) Weston’s story and boy do they have a story to tell, a reformed thief and the woman who betrayed him and sent him to jail cross paths once again……
Saint has joined Jameson Security and the last thing he expects is to come across the woman who was the love of his life before she sent him to jail but what was more shocking to him was the feelings he still had for the woman he should hate. Sin did what she believed to be right all those years ago, she was only trying to protect the man she loved…..
Can this couple start over with the love they are feeling now or will the past haunt and ruin their second chance at true love.
As always this author does a great job of mixing love, mystery and suspense with a plot that will keep you turning the pages. The characters have plenty of depth and the plot is intriguing but there are also moments in this book that will touch your heart and that only adds to this great read. Looking forward to more from the men of Jameson Force Security.
OMG this book was G – O – O – D! Code Name: Heist is book 3 in the Jameson Force Security. This is a second chance romance.
I get so excited when I see that I have another book by Sawyer Bennett to read!
Heist is Saint Bellinger and Sindaria “Sin” Westin’s story.
Saint has recently gotten out of prison and is now working for Jameson Force Security. They have need for Saint’s talents. He is an ex-thief.
Saint is out on an assignment and meets up with Sin. She is a thief too and they have a history together.
Well you can imagine sparks fly when they get together!
I love this story and now can’t wait for Code Name: Hacker to come out!
This third book in the Jameson Force Security series is a little darker and packed with as much action as the others. Saint hasn’t been with the Force for very long, but he has finally found his place, a family of sorts, and he has a job he is proud to be apart of. Because of his past, he has been given an assignment that takes him back to London and Paris to help an insurance consortium take down a major crime kingpin. He goes in undercover and discovers a hell of a lot more than he anticipated. The most unexpected is his ex girlfriend, whom he did jobs with previously and whom also set him up to go to jail, is now apart of this light fingered group. It’s going to take a lot of patience and understanding on both sides to achieve all that is meant to happen.
I’m going to be honest and say, I had a little hard time connecting with Sin more than Saint with her profession and his past occupation. It played on my mind that deep down they were thieves for the reason of the rush of a heist. But once I got to hear more of their background and watching them interact together, I totally fell for one and the other. The story line had me gasping at times and when the actually major heist took place, I felt I was holding my breath till it was over and they were in the clear. Everyone deserves a second or third chance at getting their life in order and I enjoyed reading Saint and Sin’s plight. The epilogue left me feeling mostly elated but my heart is hurting for Malik and I hanging out desperately wanting to know his story, book 5, but next is Bebe’s tale which sounds exciting!
Code Name: Heist had it all – action, suspense, and a sexy second chance romance. Sawyer Bennett did an excellent job of describing and introducing readers to the world of high end thieves. We met Saint in the previous book, but Code Name: Heist can be read as a standalone.
I really enjoyed Saint and Sindaria’s (Sin) story. They have a complicated history, but I loved that from the start they only have eyes for each other. They both were willing to forgive and change for the other and I appreciated that for the most part, they dealt with their issues maturely and openly. Even the questionable decisions were made from a place of love. There’s plenty of action between these two thanks to some forced proximity, and I loved what a team these two were. They excelled in the face of danger and throw in some seriously hot sexy times and I was sold. There is some drama at the end, but it’s resolved quickly and the epilogue was so sweet. It really felt perfect after everything Saint and Sin had been through.
It isn’t all fun and games in this one though, and there is definitely some sadness for the Jamison family. I enjoyed catching up and getting updates on old characters/couples in the series, but also the Cold Fury crossover. I’m very interested to find out more about the final Fournier brother, Malik. This is a fast paced, action filled romance that is sure to be a hit with fans of the series!

Performance 4.5 stars
Story 4 stars
Joe Arden and Mackenzie Cartwright were awesome as Saint and Sin! I was especially impressed by Mackenzie Cartwright’s ability to voice accents so well and Joe Arden’s talent for making each of the characters (male or female) distinguishable and unique. I have listened to other titles by both of these narrators before, but this is the first time hearing them together. What a wonderful narrating duo!
