ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 7, 2019
Years ago, they were in love. She was an up-and-coming superstar and he was the devilishly handsome security professional hired to keep her safe. They fell hard and fast, no matter how they tried to resist one another. But not everyone around them was happy about their relationship, and a string of lies and deceit destroyed what they once had.
Having just taken the helm of a nationally renowned protective services company, Kynan McGrath is looking to rebrand and revamp his career. The newly crowned Jameson Force Security is moving from the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas to the mountainous steel town of Pittsburgh, and the last thing Kynan has time for is to deal with his past.
More than a decade has passed since their split, but even a bruised and battered heart remembers its first love. So when Joslyn Meyers comes to him for help, Kynan reluctantly agrees to keep her safe from a terrifying stalker who keeps threatening her life.
As the danger they face continues to intensify, Kynan realizes he’ll stop at nothing to protect the woman who turned her back on him all those years ago. Because one thing is certain—no matter how hard he tries to convince himself otherwise, Joslyn still has his heart.

REVIEW: CODE NAME: GENESIS is the first instalment in Sawyer BEnnett’s contemporary, adult JAMESON FORCE SECURITY erotic, romantic suspense series focusing on the men and women who work for Jameson Force Security. CODE NAME: GENESIS focuses on thirty -two year old award winning singer and actress Joslyn Meyers, and thirty-eight year old, security specialist and former British Special Forces Kynan McGrath. The Jameson Force security series is a spin-off from the author’s WICKED HORSE VEGAS series, which in turn is a spin-off from her Wicked Horse Series. Joslyn and Kynan’s story begins in WICKED FORCE, Sawyer Bennett’s contribution to Kristen Proby’s BIG SKY cross-over collection. I would recommend reading WICKED FORCE for back story and history between our leading couple. There is also a slight cross-over with the mention of the author’s Carolina Cold Fury Hockey Series, and a potential new agent for Jameson Force Security -Malik Fournier.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Kynan and Joslyn) CODE NAME: GENESIS picks up twelve years after Joslyn Meyers pushed Kynan McGrath out of her life. Hired as security for her first concert tour, a then nineteen year old Joslyn Meyers would fall in love with her twenty-six year old, security guard Kynan McGrath but betrayal and manipulation would see Joslyn pushing Kynan out of her life without explanation or good bye. Fast forward to present day wherein Joslyn has a stalker, and the only man she trusts is the same man she pushed away years before. Struggling to move on from his broken heart and the betrayal by the woman he loved Kynan reluctantly becomes guardian and protector for our story line heroine. Kynan and Joslyn will enter into a fake relationship in an effort to draw out Joslyn’s stalker, a man who begins to up the stakes with each encounter. What ensues is the rebuilding and rekindling / second chance relationship between Joslyn and Kynan, and the fall-out as Joslyn’s stalker threatens more than our heroine’s life.
Kynan McGrath has never forgiven or forgotten Joslyn Meyers but moving on meant putting the pain behind him for good. Never expecting to see Joslyn again, Kynan is surprised and angry when Joslyn begs Kynan to see to her protection. Joslyn Meyers believes Kynan betrayed her love and her heart but desperate times called for desperate measures ,and Joslyn was willing to put her anger aside to procure the help of the man she once loved.
The relationship between Kynan and Joslyn is one of second chances; a rekindling romance between two people whose love was destroyed by betrayal and lies. The lingering anger between our leading couple barely hides the palpable sexual attraction that pushes our hero over the edge on more than one occasion. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
We are slowly introduced to Kynan’s Jameson Force Security Team as he gradually interviews and hires the people he trusts: former inmate and IT specialist Bebe Grimshaw; former US Secret Service Agent Cruce Britton; US Marine Saint Bellinger; Jericho Jameson; Joslyn’s mother Madeline and her husband Darrin Dawes, as well as her manager Lynn, and publicist Harry.
CODE NAME: GENESIS sets the background and introduces the players and security specialists at Jameson Force Security. The premise is fascinating and bewitching; the characters are colorful, energetic and intriguing; the romance is spicy and hot. CODE NAME: GENESIS is a wonderfully entertaining introduction to Sawyer’s new Jameson Force Security.
