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?

So Sexy! A story of an up and coming Rising Star, who needs protection. And protection that never looked so good. A blazing connection that will come at a price for both of them. As hired protection, his hands are to protect not touch, but with a flame so hot that neither one of them can deny it. What else is there to do but get burned. A fast paced story you will not want to put down. But watch out or you might be the one that gets burned with a ending you will have to wait for.
Josyln Meyer’s has led a sheltered life, and has never known love. But when this rising star meets the man of her dreams, her passion and their intense attraction are too much to deny. Kenan McGrath is second in command of Jameson Group Security Services, a hired bodyguard providing protection for high-profile celebrity clients. Kynan knows what his duties entail and what they don’t. But becoming enthralled to the point of confusion and distraction by his client, Kynan will need to hand over her protection to someone else.
Will stardom be the end of their story? Will a controlling stepmother, as well as others that all want a piece of her in the greedy world of showbiz, let her decide? Or do they have plans for her whether she likes it or not. You don’t want to miss this first part of their story?
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I’m really glad I was part of the blog tour not only for this title but for two others as well because now I just want to devour Kristen’s Big Sky series! I’ve already devoured all things Wicked Horse Vegas and this was an excellent addition! And not only that, but *swoon* Jerico makes an appearance so we are introduced to Sawyer’s next adventure, Jameson Force Security! Eepppp, I just can’t wait!
It’s no secret I will read all things Sawyer Bennett and scream from the high heavens what a great read they all are …. This is me signing lol
Okay so this was a short read but by no means incomplete. It’s meant to be a novella. It was sexy and flirty and just ridiculously good. You’ll devour it in mere hours.
WICKED FORCE is instalment 4.5 and novella in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult WICKED HORSE VEGAS romance series and the introductory prequel to the author’s new CODE NAME: GENESIS, Jameson Force Security series. This is nineteen year old, up and coming singer Joslyn Meyers, and twenty-six year old, former British Royal Marine / security expert Kynan McGrath’s story line. WICKED FORCE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the original series is revealed where necessary.
NOTE: WICKED FORCE is part of Kristen Proby’s BIG SKY crossover collection.
Told from dual firs person perspectives (Kynan and Joslyn) WICKED FORCE follows the building but forbidden relationship between nineteen year old, up and coming singer Joslyn Meyers, and twenty-six year old, former British Royal Marine / security expert Kynan McGrath. Hired by military buddy Jerico Jameson as his second in command for the Jameson Security Group, Kynan’s first major assignment to protect up and coming pop-star Joslyn Meyers, as she settles into her Vegas tour but a trip home for a benefit concert series, as well as the opportunity to star in a Hollywood movie finds our heroine at odds with her step-mother, the woman who has pushed Joslyn towards fortune and fame. What Joslyn never expected was to fall in love with the man hired to protect her both on and off the stage, a man she is willing to sacrifice a part of her future, in the name of love. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Kynan and Joslyn, and the potential fall-out as Joslyn’s choices set into motion a deadly plan for our story line couple.
WICKED FORCE is the prequel novella to the author’s new Jameson Security Forces series, and initial release CODE NAME: GENESIS. We are up close and personal as Kynan and Joslyn’s rapidly growing love threatens the future plans set out for our story line heroine. The premise is engaging and captivating : the romance is passionate; the characters are determined and energetic. WICKED FORCE ends on a bit of a cliff-hanger-you have been warned. Joslyn and Kynan’s story continues in CODE NAME: GENESIS
Joslyn Meyers is working at making her dreams come true, she just needs a little help and that is where Kynan McGrath comes into the picture – ensuring her safety. In much of a whirlwind, Joslyn and Kynan can’t deny their insatiable desires for one another, making them and everyone around them question all that is at stake.
This novella is laying work for what I believe to be a great piece in the Kristen Proby Crossover Collection, but also into the new Jameson Force Security Series that Sawyer has coming out featuring the story of Joslyn and Kynan ten years after this novella.
While this story made for a fun read, I am looking forward to the next installment and a brand new series guaranteed to have plenty of heat and action!
As Always, Happy Reading!
“4/5 Beaming Brains!”
I ama big fan of both Sawyer Bennett and K Proby so I was so excited to hear about a crossover! I was not disappointed…kinda wish it was longer lol
Sawyer Bennett left you wishing and wondering! I can’t wait to read more about this unlikely pair. This story had lots of sweet feels but was a super fast paced love affair.
Looking forward to more Kynan for sure!
I am loving this Crossover Collection from Kristen Proby, it’s a great way to meet new authors and series and Sawyer Bennett was a new author to me.
Once I started this I was hooked, it was a great, sexy, short read. For a short read it packed a hell of a punch and I could have read more.
Kynan is given the job of protecting pop Princess Joslyn. What he never expected was to be attracted to her and struggle to keep his distance and professionalism. His heart says she is meant to be his so how can you ignore that?
I am looking forward to checking out Sawyer’s new Jameson Force Security series coming in May
It has been an absolute joy reading the Kristen Proby crossover series with some of my favorite authors. I’m a new fan of Sawyer Bennett since I’ve just recently started to devour her books. With that being said, I’m new to her Wicked Horse Vegas series, so this was a nice little teaser to this world and one that I absolutely want to start reading from.
I can’t exactly say this is a standalone because there’s a definite HFN by the end with every bit of a hint that there’s more to come. I was reading every single page, but by the end, I was left a bit frustrated and somewhat disappointed because well I was totally expecting a HEA and that’s that. Like the previous two crossover books that I’ve read. That’s not the case one bit, while that may not bother some people, it got to me more than I expected it to.
Obviously this isn’t enough for me to break up with an author … I haven’t had that happened before, but just because I didn’t like one book, I’m not going to go all out and just shun them from my reads. We all have our preferences in our reads and that’s simply what it came down to.
I still adore this author infinitely and she definitely got me interested in this series, so you can bet that I’ll be starting at the very beginning.
Wicked Force is a quick, steamy read with bodyguard romance trope and a bit of a forbidden one with the age gap. I was definitely enjoying this story and then the ending kind of sucked that all away from me.
If you’re a Sawyer fan give this one a try, you just may love it!

Joslyn is a young popstar on the rise, Kynan is a blonde former Marine who is trying to adjust to civilian life. Oh, and did I mention he’s British? Helloooooo sexy accent! After going to work for his friend Jerico and his new security company, The Jameson Group, he is hired to protect Joslyn. Protecting her is his number one priority, he is even willing to lose his life to save hers. What he didn’t count on losing though is his heart. He knows she’s off limits, but the more time he spends with her, the more he realizes just how special she really is and he just can’t help but fall for her. Loved this crossover story!
Angela – Alphas Do It Better Book Blog
Loved this book. First read the short story of Kynan and Joslyn in Cocktale and its been a long wait until now for this book but was not disappointed.
Can’t wait for the next installment.
Love the storyline and love Kynan and Joslyn.
Love the connection between them both.
I love Wicked Horse and I love Big Sky. Merging them together is even better.
The ending though…….well can’t say more than that.
I do have to say that I love how Kynan stands back and doesn’t push his thoughts or desires on Joslyn. With how young Joslyn (19) is during this book and the dynamics surrounding her career, we see how out of control she is in the decisions concerning it.
Wonderful book with more to come!
Loved this novella! Another great story from Sawyer! The storyline and writing were great! I adored the characters! I really enjoyed reading this one! I highly recommend!!
Okay, so I thought I was ready for this from reading the prequel and I was so wrong! This blew me away in so many ways!
Kynan is a former marine who served the Crown in the Middle East and during that time, became friends with Jericho Jameson. Jameson comes to him with an offer he cannot pass up helping him start up a security firm in Las Vegas.
Joslyn is an up and coming singing star currently in residence in Las Vegas and due to some threatening/weird fan mail coming in, her “mom”ager Madeline decides to hire a security detail for Jos.
“She’s precious to this world. To me as well, but that can never go anywhere except the interior of my heart.”
I loved getting to see another side of Sawyer’s Vegas, as well as their visit to Cunningham Falls, Mt, for a charity show. During their time together, Joslyn and Kynan try to fight the attraction between them, all the while Kynan is working to keep her safe from a serious threat to her life. Sparks fly no matter what they do to resist and man oh man are there fireworks when they finally stop resisting.
Now we have to wait to see what happens after choice are made and lives are impacted.
I am a huge fan of Sawyer Bennett and I’ve been waiting for Kynan’s story for a long time. In this novella, we get to meet him before he becomes the man he is in the Wicked Vegas series. We see him and Joslyn fall in love and it’s a great tease for their book in the present time. I am definitely intrigued to see how this story plays out!

Sawyer Bennett has done it again! She has brought us memorable characters within a unique storyline that is well written and will keep you turning those pages!
How can you go wrong with a sexy, hot Brit who is assigned to guard a sweet musician that is just starting out in her career and has so much potential? Absolutely nothing until lines are crossed and important decisions have to be made that will affect both of their futures. But this book is not the end of their story!
4.5 Stars
Wicked Force is the all new novella by Sawyer Bennett. It is part of the Wicked Horse Vegas series that crosses over to Kristen Proby’s Big Sky series. It was so so sooo good! It can be read as a stand-alone, but I highly recommend reading the others as well. Wicked Force is full of heart, heat, and OMG I need more! Like STAT.
I fell in love with Kynan in the previous books and when I found out he was getting his own story-I. COULD. NOT. WAIT! He was everything I thought he’d be- swoony and hot AF. When he is hired to protect a singer, he figures it’s going to be a piece of cake. But when he lays eyes on Joslyn-all bets are off. Joslyn is a beautiful singer with her career just starting off. She’s very innocent with little confidence. When she meets her new bodyguard Kynan, there is an instant connection that is unexplainable. But will Kynan be able to keep his hands to himself and just do his job?
I adore Ms. Bennett and her stories and this one was just as fantastic! It flowed well and I loved the storyline! I will be sitting here impatiently waiting for what I’m sure is going to be an epic conclusion to Joslyn and Kynan’s story in Code Name: Genesis.
This book is part of the Kristen Proby Crossover series. This is a novella that introduces Kynan McGrath and Joslyn Meyers. Kynan joined the Jameson Group with his friend Jericho Jameson. One of his first jobs is a security detail for an up and coming singer Joslyn Meyers. The Jameson Group is hired to protect her in Vegas and during a benefit event in her hometown of Cunningham Falls. She is instantly attracted to her tattooed, sexy British bodyguard and he is instantly attracted to the stunningly beautiful singer. Kynan is hot, sexy but has such a sweet side. Joslyn is young and is struggling to assert her independence with her overbearing mother/manager. However, is their relationship strong enough to survive her manipulative and ambitious mother/manager? If you are looking for a well written, quick read this is the book for you. Advanced copy provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.
This was included in Kristen Proby’s crossover series, and while I had high hopes for the book (ahem Cunningham Falls) it just didn’t live up to the hype. There is a 19 year old pop star and a 26 year old body guard. Add in a controlling Momager and it sums up the book. The whole book felt oddly put together, and the internal dialogue felt forced. And the “ending”, wasn’t really an ending but a beginning of another book. I’m sure someone will LOVE this book, it just wasn’t me.

Short, sweet, intriguing and sexy! definitely worth the read!
Who doesn’t love a sexy brit?
Kynan is strong, up front, and not easy to resist.
Joslyn is young, and sexy, and falls pretty quick.
I love this quick read, and I can’t wait for the rest of this story.
Kynan really knows how to treat a girl, now we wait an see if Joslyn’s mom get’s in the way of true love.
