CODE NAME: HEIST IS LIVE!
CODE NAME: HEIST is a second chance, romantic suspense standalone. See what readers are saying:
☑️ OMG this book was G - O - O - D!
☑️ This is my favorite of the series thus far.
☑️ What a captivating story!
☑️ I was hooked from the beginning
I am a world-class thief. Or I was, before I got pinched and landed in prison. 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 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 series bring a new spice on Miss Bennett works. It has this Ocean Twelve twist on it. And I do enjoy it very much. The descriptive sex is on the background. The run and catch between Saint and Sin is so fun to read. I do also like their name. Saint and Sin. They do a match meet in heaven. Just because of their name.
It is short book. I do not know if it is categorize for novella or full length novel. Saint and Sin had history together. They both international thief who specialized in stealing high class material. They worked together and one day Sin 'betray' Saint. Saint ends up in jail. Then the story begins with that catch and run.
The character develop well enough. Their chemistry is hot. Overall I do enjoy this book very much.
4 stars

Code Name: Heist is the third installment of Sawyer Bennett's James Force Security series and brings us to the dangerous life of art theft. Saint was once an amazing thief, almost unstoppable until he was caught. Now he's on the right side of the law and using his skills to help stop a theft ring that's growing bolder. But infiltrating the ring means coming face to face with Sin, the woman he once thought he loved enough to go legitimate and live a normal life with. Until she had him arrested that is.
Sin and Saint were as perfect together as their names. I loved the intense passion they had and it blended so well with the suspenseful story. I was on the edge just waiting to find out how they were going to get passed the fact they were now on two different sides of the law. As well as captivated by the thefts they pulled off together. It was a great mix of romance and heart-pounding moments and it had me unable to put the book down until I figured out what was going to happen in the end.
Overall, this story was written really well and Ms. Bennett wrote the heists in such a captivating way that I think anyone who starts this book will be just as entrapped as I was. The romance was done beautifully as well. Sin and Saint definitely gave us an amazing love story.

Code Name Heist is a second chance romance has action, suspense and is part of an interconnected series. The story has hate to love elements.
The Jamesforce Security Series features the sexy men of an elite private security firm in Pittsburg, PA. This is Saint Bellinger’s story.
What an explosive, highly charged and emotional second chance romance. Saint and Sin have a dramatic past filled with mistakes and regret.
Our heroine Sin stars out as the villain of this story. As we read, we realize there are layers to the story that Saint was never aware of. Does that change how he feels about Sin’s betrayal? That is a major plot point as well as an exciting suspense and of course romantic element told with Paris in the back drop.
Sawyer Bennett is a brilliant writer. Her heroes are to die for. Swoony doesn’t so them justice. Her heroines are so lovable, strong and vulnerable at the same time.
Her writing is mature. As an adult, I adore the way this story was written. Feelings are discussed, growth is shown and adults handle their relationships as you’d expect them to. As a romance reader, this clearly isn’t always the case. There is none of that character outrage for me when reading a Sawyer Bennett novel.
4.5⭐️ for this explosive journey.
Two flawed souls. A tale of forgiveness and sacrifice. This is a standalone which can be read on it’s own or in conjunction with the rest of the series.

Code Name: Heist was the third book in the Jameson Force Security series by Sawyer Bennett.
Saint Bellinger was a former marine, former thief, ex-con and current employee at Jameson Security. His heist skills were needed for an undercover operation that put him in direct contact with his former team that had betrayed him.
Sindaria “Sin” Westin was a professional thief. She could pick a safe lock with the best of them. She was stuck in the life and couldn’t get out even if she wanted to and her dreams were shattered years ago when she betrayed the love of her life and sent him to prison.
Bennett brought us a second chance theme - which I’m a total sucker for. And I loved the suspenseful plot. It reminded me of the movie The Italian Job. Not the same plot, but it had the same vibe and had an edge to it that kept me turning the pages.
All in all, it was well written, well developed, intriguing and had great characters. Bennett also had a secondary plot with Jameson Security that was running simultaneously with Saint’s mission. It was heartbreaking but had promise for a great story to later be revealed in Code Name: Ghost. In the meantime, we finally get Bebe’s story, the tech genius, in Code Name: Hacker. I love the series and I can’t wait to read more!

Very exciting and dangerous and sexy and fun.
Sin and Saint are adorable! And they obviously belong together!
There's also a little sad side-story about some Jameson op gone wrong in Syria - I'm sure we'll hear more about that in one of the next books.
This could be a really great TV Show!!
Great romantic suspense! Can't wait to read the next book in this series!

I need a bit of Saint !!
I really enjoyed this book so much. This series is becoming one of my favourites from this author. Every character that gets a book just has me hooked. This book was Saint's and I was so excited to get more of this hottie. His life hasnt been easy but he has really changed his life since when he was younger. Now he has to go back to what's he left behind and the woman that he once luvd who betrayed him.
Sin is a brilliant character she has so many sides to her. She is so caring when it comes to her Dad and even Saint but then she she can be so strong and sassy. With the job that she has she has to be strong and ruthless in ways. It's not an easy life to lead but she will do anything to protect the ones she luvs even if she has to take them down to protect them.
I was so excited to read this book. The story was really good and had me gripped from start to finish. I didn't know what was goin down with Saint and Sin but the sexual tension was crazy from the start. Things may of happened between them but they still wanted each other no matter what had happened in the past. I think Saint and Sin are my favourite in this series I just luv everything about them. I would highly recommend this book the writing, story and characters are just so good. I'm dying for so many more characters in this series can't wait to see what the author will do next.

4.5 this thief of mine stars
This James Force Security series is becoming quite the must read for me. Amongst the many members of this elite pack, we are introduced to Saint Bellinger, a newbie employee. As well as having the deemed necessary experience in the military service, he also spent a period behind bars when his stint as a world class thief was thwarted.
Quite a combination if your new job takes you back into that arena that bought you down. Also providing the perfect backstory to infiltrate, Saint finds himself not only revisiting familiar haunts, but reunites him with the main person who shattered his livelihood as well as his heart; Sindaria (Sin) Westin.
Sin had a good enough reason to lead Saint to prison, and she remains firm in her decision. The opportunity to carry out one of the biggest heists yet, whilst reuniting with Saint, gives her hope for forgiveness and perhaps reconciliation.
I keep saying I love the diversity & depth in Sawyers stories, so I’ll just repeat myself. Code Name:Heist contains suspense as well as romance, delivered in an easy to read format. The references to interlinking series, as well as other stories within this series is cutely clever, and the complexities in her story board must be getting quite a size now!
I’m looking forward to the rest of this series, already knowing a fair bit about the MC’s..although Ghost might just be top of the pile.

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!
*****
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!

5 star Review Code Name Heist (Jameson Force Security #3) by Sawyer Bennett
What a gripping story which had me hooked from the first to the last chapter. Set in the world of illegal heists, betrayal and second chances.
Book number three in the Jameson Force Security series, I found myself just as entertained and riveted as I was with the first two books in the series. This time it is Saint and Sindaria “Sin” Westin’s story and what a story it is. Saint is a reformed thief who now works for Jameson Security whilst Sin, is the woman who betrayed him, sent him to jail and was the love of his life.
Sawyer Bennett writes a story that is equal parts romance and suspense which makes for a well balanced exciting and intriguing read. The story is faced paced and you cannot help but be drawn in to the tale that Ms. Bennett weaves.
When an undercover job brings Saint face to face with Sin, he is shocked to discover that the feelings he has kept buried are trying to resurface. Sin knows he will never forgive her betrayal, if on,y he knew she did it to protect him.
Behind the scenes, heart breaking things are happening at the Security company and that added a layer of sadness to the story that got to me; hopefully we will learn more in future books.
Will Saint be able to keep Sin safe, as the past comes back to haunt them or will the increasing threats and danger put their lives in further jeopardy? Will Saint and Sin be able to come to terms with the past and re connect? Can they learn to trust one another again?

“You know all my dirty secrets, Sin. What you choose to do with them is up to you.”
<><>Story Overview<><>
The book blurb explains it well. Nothing I need to add here.
<><>Characters<><>
Hero: Saint Bellinger; Age: 36; Occupation: works for Jameson Force Security
* The following words/phrases were used to describe Hero: used to be a world-class thief before joining Jameson, former marine, spent time in prison, wants to be useful, still gets a thrill at the idea of stealing something, observant, raised by a single mom who he dearly loved, became a thief at the age of thirteen to help his mom with finances, generous, sly
Heroine: Sindaria Westin; Age: not sure; Occupation: thief
* The following words/phrases were used to describe Heroine: specializes in safe cracking, motivated by goals and competition, British, abandoned at birth, adopted, mom died when she was seven, her dad was her safecracking teacher, stuck-required to fill a job quota with current crew, funny, can’t take a compliment, wants to get out of the thieving life and have a family, no friends, alienated, has a conscience.
<><>A Few Thoughts<><>
^^ ~ this story has a second chance element, so it flips from past to present just a little bit
^^ ~ there’s another Jameson Force story plot that was introduced and it will be solved in subsequent books
^^ ~ it kind of irritated me the way Sin felt Saint betrayed her. I saw it as protecting her. So that little tiff just felt like it was added for drama.
^^ ~ I did appreciate that Sin went back and tried to right one of her wrongs.
^^ ~ there was one thing that made me audibly gasp. It wasn’t something I was expecting to happen, so it took me by surprise.
^^ ~ hmmm - not quite sure i would agree Mercier is not a threat to Saint and Sin. I’m not exactly happy with the way that wrapped up.
<><>The Basics<><>
- Content Warning: loss of friends (side story)
- Setting: Paris, London
- Do you need to read previous books in series?: I think it would be helpful to read the series in order. This book continues to build on the overall series.
- POV: Dual POV
- Tropes: romantic suspense
- Hero likable? yes
- heroine likable? yes
- h virgin? No
- First time they kiss: 20% (it was a past memory). 29% in the present
- First time they sleep together: 20% (it was a past memory) 30% in the present
- Safe sex? No. Sin hasn’t been with anyone since the last time she was with Saint (a couple years), but that was only shared with the reader. So no conversation about partners, being clean, etc.
- First time they say I Love You: she says it at 76%. He says it at 89%
- steamy? Yes. Descriptive bedroom scenes
- Chemistry? yes
- OW/OM drama? No
- H/h cheat? Technically no, but at 92% she goes out on a date with another man even though she knew she loved Saint (and previously told hom as much). This was just stupid!
- Time apart? initially, its been a couple years since they’ve seen each other. Once back together, I think they had about a week apart
- Did I skip pages? No
- Big secrets? At 12% Sin confesses why she squealed on Saint and sent him to jail. Sin isn’t aware Saint is undercover. He tells her at 41%
- Did I cry? No
- Did I laugh? No
- Did I swoon🥰? no major swoony moments
- Cliffhanger? No
- HEA? HFN
- Epilogue? two months later. Joslyn and Kynan’s wedding (the couple from book 1)
- Recommend? It was not as predictable as the other books
“You know all my dirty secrets, Sin. What you choose to do with them is up to you.”

<><>A Few Thoughts<><>
^^ ~ this story has a second chance element, so it flips from past to present just a little bit
^^ ~ there’s another Jameson Force story plot that was introduced and it will be solved in subsequent books
^^ ~ it kind of irritated me the way Sin felt Saint betrayed her. I saw it as protecting her. So that little tiff just felt like it was added for drama.
^^ ~ I did appreciate that Sin went back and tried to right one of her wrongs.
^^ ~ there was one thing that made me audibly gasp. It wasn’t something I was expecting to happen, so it took me by surprise.
^^ ~ hmmm - not quite sure i would agree Mercier is not a threat to Saint and Sin. I’m not exactly happy with the way that wrapped up.
<><>The Basics<><>
- Content Warning: loss of friends (side story)
- Setting: Paris, London
- Do you need to read previous books in series?: I think it would be helpful to read the series in order. This book continues to build on the overall series.
- POV: Dual POV
- Tropes: romantic suspense
- Hero likable? yes
- heroine likable? yes
- h virgin? No
- First time they kiss: 20% (it was a past memory). 29% in the present
- First time they sleep together: 20% (it was a past memory) 30% in the present
- Safe sex? No. Sin hasn’t been with anyone since the last time she was with Saint (a couple years), but that was only shared with the reader. So no conversation about partners, being clean, etc.
- First time they say I Love You: she says it at 76%. He says it at 89%
- steamy? Yes. Descriptive bedroom scenes
- Chemistry? yes
- OW/OM drama? No
- H/h cheat? Technically no, but at 92% she goes out on a date with another man even though she knew she loved Saint (and previously told hom as much). This was just stupid!
- Time apart? initially, its been a couple years since they’ve seen each other. Once back together, I think they had about a week apart
- Did I skip pages? No
- Big secrets? At 12% Sin confesses why she squealed on Saint and sent him to jail. Sin isn’t aware Saint is undercover. He tells her at 41%
- Did I cry? No
- Did I laugh? No
- Did I swoon🥰? no major swoony moments
- Cliffhanger? No
- HEA? HFN
- Epilogue? two months later. Joslyn and Kynan’s wedding (the couple from book 1)
- Recommend? It was not as predictable as the other books

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.

ARC received for an honest review
Welcome to another installment of the Jameson Force series.
This is a fast paced, dangerous and sexy story set in the underworld of heists and illegal doings.
Saint and Sin -the ones that got away - are reunited for one last shebang, and sparks sure do fly. I couldn't wait to flick each page to see where Ms Bennett would take the story.
It was like reading a heist movie, and as I was reading, I was imagining it on a screen.
There were also some sadder moments, that I am hopeful we will get more of the story in the future.
An enjoyable read, and I can't wait for the next installment.

NOW AVAILABLE!!
Sawyer Bennett continues her Jameson Force Security series with Code Name: Heist which follows ex-thief Saint Bellinger and the woman who put him behind bars.
After getting caught and serving time in jail, Saint was offered a job at Jameson Force Security and a chance to go legit. He thought his next job going undercover as a thief would be easy until he realizes he’ll have to deceive the love of his life, the same woman who cost him his freedom, Sindaria Westin.
As Saint struggles to find a way to work with Sin while ignoring his attraction to the gorgeous woman, they soon realize that neither will get away with their lives if they don’t find a way to rely on each other. But will they ever be able to trust each other?
Bennett delivers on all fronts. The suspense element continually offers thrilling scenes in which Sin and Saint must prove their world-class thieving abilities while staying out of harm’s way and in Saint’s case protecting his cover while trying to take down the dangerous men behind the heist. Bennett provides readers high stakes with a fast pace interlaced into a sexy and emotional romance.
And while I loved the Parisian backdrop, Bennett captivated my attention with an equally shocking and thrilling subplot revolving around secondary characters I hope to read about soon.
Code Name: Heist is book #3 of the Jameson Force Security series by author Sawyer Bennett. It’s written from both points of view with a happy ending and no cliffhanger.

This was a good story, but not my favourites in the series.
I liked that the protagonists had a past relationship and that they're both high caliber theives.
I'm very much an emotional reader and I felt as if this story was being told "to me" rather than me reading the story and being engaged.
I'm sad to say that I didn't get invested in the story or it's characters.

Ooohh, looks like I’m on a 5-star-listening-spree of Sawyer Bennett books. CODE NAME: HEIST was another amazing audio that I couldn’t stop listening to. The location(s) – Paris, London, Pittsburgh –, the setting, the suspense, the action, the characters – down to their unique, fitting names – their profession, their chemistry, the fact it’s a second chance love story – the list goes on.
Sin(daria) and Saint – Yin and Yang – a perfect fit in every aspect, despite – or especially because of their complicated backstory.
This one is exactly what I want from a romantic suspense novel: It’s thrilling and sexy, dangerous and heartfelt, all emerged in the dark underworld of complex heists and other illegal activities. The story even contains a nail-biting secondary story which I hope will be positively resolved very soon.
Joe Arden and Mackenzie Cartwright compliment the experience of this story even further – distinct character voices and a narration that transports every emotion written on the pages.
I want more! …which is why I just might go and find me another story about high-end thieves like these two. I’m hooked!

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.

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 that 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 IS LIVE!
CODE NAME: HEIST is a second chance, romantic suspense standalone. See what readers are saying:
☑️ OMG this book was G - O - O - D!
☑️ This is my favorite of the series thus far.
☑️ What a captivating story!
☑️ I was hooked from the beginning
I am a world-class thief. Or I was, before I got pinched and landed in prison. 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 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.

Review by Trinette Dungee
Saint Bellinger is finally on the straight and narrow. After being released from prison, he has secured a position with the Jamison Security Corp, but this next assignment sends him right back into the world of thievery and right back to the woman who was responsible for sending him to prison, Sindaria Weston.
This is going to be short and sweet simply because to give my full range of feelings I’d literally have to go page by page and that would take away from your enjoyment of discovering Saint and Sindaria on your own.
Saint and Sin, could you get any cuter than that?! Well, maybe cute isn’t the word I should use but just like their names go together, so do these two people. These were two people whose happily ever after was snatched away from them and how they move beyond their past to get it back.
When Saint encounters Sindaria years after her betrayal, his response to her is not the hate he thought he had. While he doesn’t trust her, he most definitely is attracted to her. When he learns the reasons behind her betrayal, he forgives her but he’s not one hundred percent sure he trusts her. Once his trust has been confirmed Saint makes it his mission to not only get through this job but to keep Sin as safe as he can without putting both of their lives in danger.
Seeing Saint Bellinger again has completely knocked Sindaria off of her game. Knowing she cost him something he can never get back, she’s pretty sure he hates her. Sin’s goal is to complete this mission, keep her father safe and try her hardest to get out of the game. Now she has to watch her back with him as well and do this while knowing he’s the only man she ever truly loved. Learning Saint has forgiven her eases her anxiety some but now she has to wonder if they can ever go back to where they were.
What I love about this series the most is no major angst. I know most people love angst but not me. I love that you get right to the issue with these couple at the beginning of the story. The story isn’t about how may obstacles they encounter but how they get through the obstacles you know exist. The other thing that I love is the men in this series; they aren’t afraid to show their emotions or compassion. They are in love and they let it be known.
I think the only thing I would want more of from this book was a little more regarding Saint and his mom. You get the general gist of their relationship but when it comes to him facing what he missed with her, I felt like there was something missing.
Other than that, Sawyer has done it once again; not only has she given us characters to fall in love with, but she’s also set the stage for future storylines. While Malik’s story may not be the next in line, the foundation has been laid for a great read. CAN’T WAIT!!!!

Saint and Sin were dynamite...
I’m really enjoying this series. If that sounds at all surprised it is because I loved this author’s hockey series so much I didn’t want to try anything new – but I'm so glad I did! Saint and Sin were great characters, very successful on the wrong side of the law, brought back together as they both were trying to change that...
Saint’s new career meant facing a past that wasn’t far enough away for his liking. When his mission brought Sin back into his life, he had even more things to wrestle with.... Sin had lived with her decisions every day, for good or bad. Betraying Saint was something she felt was necessary but that didn’t help when faced with his anger and hurt... Forced to work together, they had to navigate all the feelings while staying one step of the bad guys... Electric sparks and a love that refused to die when everything said it should have. High emotion and a good dollop of steam meant forgiveness had to be in the cards. .
Full of action and danger, this walk on the dark side was romantic suspense at its best. Navigating undercover (aka criminal) shenanigans while figuring out one’s love life couldn’t have been easy but they made it look just so. And Saint? Yeah, he’s a keeper... I finished this read in one sitting because I couldn’t tear myself away from the tightrope that was their second chance... ~Diane, 4.5 stars

Alors qu'il est sorti de deux ans de prison pour vol il y a peu, Saint Bellinger qui vient d'intégrer Jameson Security, pour se racheter une conduite, se voit confier une mission d'infiltration. Il ne s'attendait pas du tout à se retrouver face à celle qui l'a envoyé en prison, et avec qui il a eu une relation qu'il croyait sérieuse.
Les retrouvailles de Saint et Sin sont explosives, certainement due à la rancoeur que Saint a accumulé envers la jeune femme qu'il croyait aimer. Les explications sont de rigueur puisqu'il doit faire équipe avec elle pour le Casse du Siècle dont il ne connaît pas encore les détails.
Si les sentiments de ces deux là ne font aucun doute, le pardon et la confiance n'est pas au goût du jour et sera bien difficile à obtenir, mais pourtant indispensable pour se préparer au mieux à la mission dangereuse qui les attend.
Sawyer Bennett nous donne plein de détails sur les vols, de l'organisation à jour J, on se croirait dans Mission Impossible, avec des héros casse-cou en tenue de soirée, aidés de de gadgets totalement incroyables.
Ces tomes sont relativement courts (moins de 300 pages) et on n'a pas le temps de s'ennuyer. C'est vraiment une série que je recommande à tous les fans du genre, car elle mélange romance, aventures et thriller.

This book. This story. THIS Heist.....should be a movie. ala The Thomas Crown Affair, it has all the makings of a classic screenplay. Stunning locations, second chance romance, intrigue and the ultimate in master minds--the villian.....I could not look away from this one if I tried.
Saint has come clean after time in prison and he works for Jameson Force. When a job comes up with a request for his special 'talents', he jumps at the chance to prove himself to his new family of brothers and sisters. Smack dab back in the world of crime and who does he encounter but his lost soul mate and reason for him ending up in jail.
I loved the back and forth with Sin and Saint. Loved that he was not going to trust her right away just because they had history. Really liked that she still held to her own agenda even when Saint thought he had foiled her plans and kept her safe.
Best of the series! Someone, PLEASE, make this in to a movie. I would watch it again and again.
Can't wait to see what this security team gets up to next. Love it!

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.

CODE NAME: HEIST IS LIVE!
CODE NAME: HEIST is a second chance, romantic suspense standalone. See what readers are saying:
☑️ OMG this book was G - O - O - D!
☑️ This is my favorite of the series thus far.
☑️ What a captivating story!
☑️ I was hooked from the beginning
I am a world-class thief. Or I was, before I got pinched and landed in prison. 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 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 Sawyer at her very best. I’m a sucker for a good suspenseful romance and Sawyer never disappoints. Add in that I listened to this with some amazing narrators and this book was an amazing book.
This was such a gripping story that grabbed me from the beginning having me right on the edge till the very end. It was so damn steamy with loads of intense chemistry and combustible sexiness. This was a second chance romance like no other with action, drama, steam and love all wrapped up in an electrifying story.
Joe Arden and Mackenzie Cartwright were spectacular. I loved the enthusiasm and energy they put into making this so much more enjoyable then just reading myself.
I cannot wait for more is this fabulous series as always Sawyer keeps me coming back for more.

*I received a free copy of Code Name: Heist. This has in no way influenced my voluntary review which is honest and unbiased.*
Fancy the heist of the century? The millenium? That's partly what I got with Code Name: Heist. I also got a second-chance at love that was delicious and filled with past betrayal. There was a good dose of suspense, and also some very strong heart-ache due to a parallel story arc.
Bennett is so good at making her readers care for her characters, and I truly loved both Sin and Saint! Of course, meeting up with the other Jameson Force Security characters was an added bonus.

***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 have history. Sin did attempt to “save” Saint’s life which in fact, to his way of thinking, caused him extreme grief with a strong wish for revenge. But they’re now together again, his feelings have changed as they have a heist of the century to pull off and the real thief in the caper is the target to be put behind bars.
But will their past relationship get in the way or kick start them over again?
An entertaining read, full of intrigue and suspense.
I’m enjoying this series very much and looking forward to the next book - Malik!
I highly recommend this book!
