From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Sawyer Bennett… through the doors, Kynan knows he’ll do anything to get closer to her.
Joslyn Meyers is on the brink of super stardom, but with fame comes a level of attention she was never prepared for. She’s even less prepared for the gorgeous, tattooed, British bodyguard her mom has hired to keep her safe.
When Kynan escorts Joslyn to her hometown of Cunningham Falls for a benefit concert, it becomes clear that the threat to Joslyn’s heart is more real than any physical threat to her safety. But when Hollywood comes calling, will the pop princess and the wickedly hot Brit be able to preserve their relationship? Or will the force of their differing worlds drive them apart?

Wicked Force was an alright read. I didn’t like it nor did I hate it, just somewhere in the middle. This story didn’t wow me the way the blurb did. It had potential but I just wasn’t feeling it too much. Kynan becomes Josyln’s bodyguard because her mother deems it necessary. When these two first meet, there is attraction at first glance. But the more time they spend together there is a deeper connection developing. It was interesting to see how it would all play out. The characters, the storyline, and everything were just satisfactory. While there is a somewhat completed ending, it seems that their story continues in a new series by Sawyer Bennett. I might invest in the continuation of their story because I would like to know.
Ex British special forces Kynan McGrath never thought he would be guarding a pop star,but that’s exactly what The Jameson Group has been contracted to do.
Joslyn and Kynan are both strong and lovable characters,from the moment they meet there’s a instant connection they can’t deny. Sweet and sexy with a smoking hot Britt this novella is just part of Kynan and Joslyn’s story,there’s more to come in Code Name:Genesis,due out in May
Welcome to Vegas with a side trip to Cunningham Falls, Montana. This book is part of Kristen Proby’s crossover series and also ends with a twist and leaves us waiting for Sawyer’s newest series to begin. Kynan McGrath is the newest member of the Jameson Group, a security agency based in Vegas and he is heading up the team hired to protect pop star, Joslyn Meyers. Her mother, who is her manager, hires the security group because the apparently has been a fan who is stalking her. This is not addressed in this book, maybe in the next one? Joslyn is a tender age 19 and really quite innocent but she is drawn to Kynan and who wouldn’t be. He is tall, blond, and British and only 26, not that much older in age but in experience he is ancient. He tries to stay away but, as I said, they are drawn to each other, and they quickly develop a friendship and spend hours talking and getting to know each other and finally when they are away for the charity concert they come together. Will their love last or will the forces coming at them with Joslyn’s career force them apart? Guess we will have to wait for the next book to find out.
I had gotten a glimpse of Joslyn and Kynan in Cocktales and was so excited to see where it all started. This and the one in Cocktales are the first Sawyer Bennett books I’ve read and am so hooked!
In Wicked Force, Kynan is one fine Brit who is hired to guard pop singer Joslyn. But the two had no idea how much chemistry they would have with one another. Not only that, but the companionship they shared. Just clicked right away.
I cannot wait to read the next book in the series to see what happens with this couple.
I was so excited for this Crossover Collection and Wicked Force was exactly what I was expecting, this book from Sawyer Bennett was the perfect tie-in between Wicked Horse Vegas and Big Sky and it was great to be in Cunningham Falls with characters I loved. It’s hard to write a review without spoilers and I really don’t want to ruin it for any readers so I’m just going to tell you how this intense forbidden love story made me feel. I loved the sizzling chemistry and I loved watching Kynan and Joselyn grow as they tried to fight the attraction they had for each other, I swooned and I sighed and I was so happy to see this couple get the HEA they so deserved. Another great read from this very talented author and I can’t wait to see where she takes us next.
I wasn’t sure what to expect with this crossover. I’m very familiar with the Wicked series but less so with Big Sky. It was a great set up for the upcoming Jameson books and did make me curious about the rest of the characters I can find in Cunningham Falls.
Wicked Force is part of the Kristen Proby crossover collection and it was interesting to see how Joslyn and Kynan’s relationship got started. He’s there to protect Joslyn but realizes that he can’t do that while he falls in love with her. He knows he shouldn’t want her but the heart wants what it wants. I can’t wait to see where this relationship will go.
Kynan is all mine!!
I’ve been DYING for more of Kynan for so long and I finally get a bit of him. (I need more by the end of still wasn’t enough) When I first got to meet him in the Wicked House Vegas series I hooked on him he has been in and out of the whole series but still no book. So I thought it would be the last book in the series but still both then I heard about this and got so excited and then get even more excited with her new series he was going to be in as well. Getting a lil bit of them in The Cock Tales book had me even more excited. I knew Jocelyn and Kynan relationship was an easy one just from the that book but wow it a crazy ride and there is still so much more to know.
This book is basically how they met and how there relationship started. Jocelyn is a young singer trying to make it big in the world. She is a singer in a Vegas hotel and loves what’s she does. Her step mum is her manager and is pushing to make her career even bigger. There relationship is a lil up and down it’s like her step mum as lost sight on what Jocelyn wants. Jocelyn is a strong character she might be young but she knows what makes her happy and that’s singing. There have been a few weird letter that has caught there attention. Jocelyn seems to think there nothing but her step mum things security is needed this way where the very sexy Kynan comes in.
Kynan good this guy is so great. This author really knows how to make a guy stand out in a series. She did it in the first Wicked Horse series and she did it with Kynan. Kynan is an ex Military guy and is know one of the head guys at The Jameson Group security. There a new company but are getting well known. They have the best guys and when she was asked to join by his best friend he didn’t have to be ask twice. He first job is to look after Jocelyn. When he first sees her he is shocked at how beautiful this girl is. It wasn’t goin to be easy to keep away from her. He needed to thing about protecting her more than getting his hands on her.
I highly recommend this book. It’s a great part to this series the Crossover series and it’s great set up for Sawyer Bennett’s new series to. I’m really looking forward to more of Jocelyn and Kynan after the way this book ended. Yes a cliffy!! I wanted to scream at the end. The story is really good I couldn’t put it down i was dying to know more about these characters. There sexual tension is high throughout this whole book they couldn’t keep there hands of each other once they finally gave in to temptation. I would of like a lil more of from Cunningham Falls. I did liked the way it was tied in with the Crossover series but I just wanted to see a few of the other characters from it. I’m really enjoying that series and looking forward to more from the other authors that are in it. But I need to know more about from this couple. Looking forward to the start of The Jameson Group and more of Kynan.
Three lackluster I wasn’t impressed but being generous stars
Sawyer Bennett is a new to me author, and I’m not familiar with Kristen Proby’s Big Sky series either, so Wicked Force was completely new to me.
I have several problems with this story. The first one being I was creeped out at 90% of it. Joslyn is only 19, she’s still a child, she’s still a child who can’t even stand up to her own mother. I do not read young adult because I am not a fan of reading about children, if you would put this is the YA category is questionable, but that is where I would put it. Then just when I think I can forget that she is just a child, a sex scene happens and it’s brought up that she’s never done something before, or she has never experienced something before, and bam! Just like that I’m reminded that she’s a kid, and I’m back to being creeped out.
The second is I’m very confused as to where this story falls in Sawyer Bennett’s world. Wicked Force is supposed to be book 4.5 in this Wicked Horse world, yet when I read the synopsis for book one it has a character that appears in this story, but this character is out at strip clubs with the sole purpose of picking up random women. Certainly doesn’t sound like someone who had their HEA. So either this book should of been labeled .5 instead of 4.5, or I’m clearly not interested in the type of men Ms. Bennett writes about. Here’s to hoping that it’s just mislabeled.
The third is Kynan. The age difference wouldn’t normally bother me, it’s only 6 years. My problem is the time of the age difference. I don’t know a single stand up guy in his mid twenties that would look twice at a teenager, I know a bunch of creeps who would, but not a one stand up guy. As soon as Kynan meets Joslyn his dick starts twitching for this girl barely out of high school and blah, blah, blah, were backed at being creeped out.
The forth is by the time I finished the last page of the last chapter, once I looked past the creepy factor, I didn’t hate the overall story, I didn’t particularly enjoy it, but I didn’t hate it. Then I read the epilogue and discovered that this is not a stand alone after all. And that’s all I will say about that because I don’t want to give any spoilers, but yeah, not a stand alone.
The things I did enjoy about the story is the writing wasn’t bad, it was actually fairly well written, and honestly if Joslyn was even two years older, I probably would of given it an extra half a star. I actually really liked Kynan’s character. He was noble, honest, and more interested in making sure Joslyn was making the right decisions for her than he was about putting himself first. He actually had some depth to him, and I genuinely felt his conflict over his feeling for Joslyn. He alone saved this from being a 2 star read.
Even after all of that, I’m still going to give to book that needs to be read after Wicked Force a chance. There were enough things in the story to make me give the author another chance, but mainly because I hate leaving a story unfinished.
I received an ARC for an honest review
* A review copy was provided by the author for the Blog Tour *
Wicked Force is the third book I have read in Kristen Proby’s Crossover Collection. I will say that although I found it entertaining and enjoyable, it isn’t my favorite of the collection, so far.
I think the problem lies with my expectations of this story. I was expecting something a little different, so this story took me by surprise a little. I did love that it is kind of a prequel to Sawyer’s new and upcoming series Jameson Force Series.
I felt that this book was kind of stuck in between 2 worlds and I didn’t know where it fit in. It wasn’t what I have come to expect from a Wicked Horse Vegas book and it didn’t have that small town feeling that I expect from a Big Sky story. I think my biggest thing is that after reading the 2 other books in this crossover collection, I expected all the books to be like those. Based more on Cunningham Falls. And this wasn’t. We had a short stint in Cunningham Falls and that was it. It’s hard to explain and maybe this is all a “me” thing.
Either way, I did like this story and I enjoyed meeting Joslyn and Kynan. I am truly looking forward to Sawyer’s new series and where she takes Joslyn and Kynan’s story.
I know this review sounds like I didn’t like this book, and that couldn’t be further from the truth. I just think had it been presented as it’s own prequel and not connected into the other two worlds this could’ve been a 5 star read for me.
I would still recommend this book to all Sawyer Bennett fans. You are going to want to meet Joslyn and Kynan.
Wicked Force by Sawyer Bennett is a Wicked Horse Vegas/Big Sky novella and is part of The Kristen Proby Crossover Collection. It can be read as a stand-a-lone.
It tells the backstory of Joslyn, a pop singer whose career is taking off and Kynan her bodyguard.
They both are attracted to one another, but Kynan knows Joslyn is young and it would be unprofessional to begin a relationship, as her bodyguard.
Joslyn’s stepmother is her manager and controls her every move. Joslyn begins to make her own decisions, which doesn’t go over very well with her mother.
As this is the backstory, it is a quick read. I did feel that this novella ended abruptly, but it will continue in May with Genesis: A Jameson Force Security Novel; the first in the series. I cannot wait to see where this story takes us.
I absolutely loved Joslyn and Kynan’s story. Their chemistry from the very beginning is undeniable. They practically burn up the pages.
But their newly found relationship is not without troubles. The very fact that Kynan works for Joslyn’s mother is a big one. He’s a stand-up guy who won’t mix business with pleasure. Joslyn won’t let that stop her from getting what she wants.
I can’t wait for more!!!
5 stars!
This is like love at first sight! Joslyn is young and attractive and super talented. She’s going places but only where ever her stepmom (who I don’t like) will take her. Kynan is just starting at The Jameson Group, and of course his first job is where he falls in love. These two really have potential, but that epilogue? Oh it leads to so many questions.
Kynan is a gentleman and is interested in more than what you see on the surface from a woman. It’s so nice that he takes the time to get to know Joslyn before even acting on his attraction towards her. She no doubt has a lot to learn but she has good instincts. And with those, she recognizes that Kynan is worth her time and dedication. Here you have characters at the very beginning of their story with details of how they fall in love. You will also find some characters you will simply hate. But like I said, this is just the beginning… there is more to come for them, accompanied by some hurdles and trying moments.
Wicked Force is part of the Wicked Horse Vegas series. Kynan is hired by his friend Jerico to join his Jameson Group, a security firm. Kynan’s first job is to protect Joslyn, an up and coming pop princess. The job becomes more than just a job and decisions must be made. I really enjoyed Wicked Force, the chemistry between Kynan and Joslyn was amazing.
Review copy was received for a honest opinion.
Flipping heck, I’m getting all the feels right now. I love Joslyn and Kynan, and from the very first page, I knew I needed their happy ever after. Joslyn Meyers is so sweet, such a lovely humble girl, who instantly connects to her new security guard, the very British, Kynan McGrath. Kynan though, is determined not to mix business with pleasure, so even though there’s a magnetic force between them, he is not going to act on it. Yeh right. A sexy security guard, an up and coming young star, and a pushy step mum, all makes for interesting reading. A quick, flirty and sexy story that I didn’t want to end. Thankfully we get the rest of their story in a full length novel. I can’t wait, I already know I’m going to love Sawyer’s new Jameson Force Security series. Bring it on. I received an advanced copy of this book from the author. This is my honest review.
When Kynan McGrath, the sexy hunk of Brit, joins up with his buddy Jerico Jameson’s security company, he has no idea just how life changing that decision will be. Then he meets Joslyn Meyers, a young, gorgeous talented pop star he has been hired to be a bodyguard for, and guarding her body is not the only thing he wants to do with her. They have a connection-not just physical attraction- from the beginning and form a fast friendship while he is working, and Kynan really does try very hard for a while to keep it professional. He fails. Big time. I really like them together, they are so good for each other and it’s so sweet. But is theirs a sustainable relationship given Joslyn’s expanding career opportunities and controlling stepmother/manager? We’ll have to wait and see.
**I voluntarily read an early copy of this title in exchange for an honest review**
Sawyer Bennett is one of my go to authors and it’s another great offering from her. Wicked Force is part of the Kristen Proby crossover series, but regardless if you’ve read any Proby book’s, you can still enjoy this one.
We are introduced to Kynan McGrath when he is hired by his buddy Jerico Jameson to work for his newly formed security firm The Jameson Group. His first assignment is to be the bodyguard for up and coming singer Joslyn Meyers. Joslyn’s stepmother feels that she is in danger with trajectory that her career is beginning to take and so she hires The Jameson Group to make sure she is protected.
It’s clear from the moment that Kynan and Joslyn meet that there is a connection there. With the nature of their relationship, it’s clear they shouldn’t get involved with one another, but will they give into their attraction or will their careers end up keeping them apart in the end?
It’s hard not to like both of these characters. Certainly Kynan is strong, confident and he boasts a British accent, which is never a deterrent. While Joslyn is still trying to find her footing, she’s got a good head on her shoulders and she has great instincts, not to mention her singing talents.
I really enjoyed this and I’m looking forward to Sawyer Bennett’s upcoming Jameson Force Security series as well!
I’m not really sure how to review this book without giving anything major away. So, I’m going to keep it simple. This is Joslyn and Kynan’s back story. This tells how they came to be as a couple. You will fall in love with them as you read. It’s a novella, so it’s short. Dual point of view. I guess you could say, it’s a “happy for now” ending. Their story will continue in a book that is coming out later.
