Saint and Sin have to work together to take down a common enemy in 'Code Name: Heist' by Sawyer Bennett

 

Code Name: Heist (Jameson Force Security, Book #3) Sawyer Bennett Release Date: January 7, 2020



  Synopsis:
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

In this next book of the series, we have Sin and Saint (ironic names for who they are as people) as they have to get over their history and try to work together to take down a common enemy. It’s a romance story at its core, but it has a bit of an edge as we see if they can take down the villain.

I will admit that sometimes with Bennett’s stories they can start to get a little cookie cutter with her other stories. It’s hard to create new storylines. I think that it was like William Shakespeare or someone like that, that said there is only 3 main storylines then just different versions of that main story line. Knowing that doesn’t always take away from the story and sometimes it does. It’s why I don’t like to read an author from start to finish with their books, because it’s hard to read them as separate.

Saint is a solid lead male. He is handsome, mamma’s boy, and caring. The only flaw would just be how forgiving he was of Sin. He just took her at her word with no other mention of it. Sin was a lot more interesting of a character and I wished that we dove deeper into her psyche a bit more. But the story was really short (shorter than normal for her books) so we didn’t get that.

It’s important when reading this story that it’s not one that is going to knock you off your feet, but it is very enjoyable to read. It’s got espionage, romance, and suspense. Just don’t go into this story thinking it’s going to give you a book hangover, because it won’t.

I really enjoyed this story but there is a bit of a problem that I have with the ending. *****SPOILERS FOR REST OF THIS REVIEW.******

At the end when Mercier gets away, they are just like ‘oh we are well and clear because he won’t tell on us.” And I’m like yeah you are clear with the cops but you bet your butt he is going to come after you for betraying him. But it doesn’t sound like they are at all worried. He is a man with many means and is going to want to find them.

Wanda is struggling to keep control in episode 7 of 'WandaVision'

  If you are not already hooked on Marvel’s new TV show on Disney+ WandaVision then this week’s episode will certainly have you hook, line, and sinker. This week’s show is titled ‘Breaking the Fourth Wall’ and in some ways it breaks more walls then that. The show hits the 2000s and Modern Family seems to be the theme with some splashes of other sitcoms from the 2000s. I really enjoyed the commentary that Wanda and Vision have when they are talking to the camera. The glances and the 'knowing stare' from Vision are completely spot on.  Like the other episodes, this one is jam-packed with information so you need to make sure you are paying attention. Wanda is slowly but surely losing control of the Hex. The kids are noticing this and want to help but Wanda just thinks relaxing will help (not likely). In the reality part of the show, we discover that Hayward is trying to get Vision back so he can use him as a weapon (no surprise there). Monica and Jimmy meet with her friend (...

Review: 'Dominik' by Sawyer Bennett - Can Dominik tame Willow's wild heart?

In the 6th book of the series, Dominik takes the lead as he tries to get Willow out of his thoughts, but that proves more difficult the more time he spends with her. Willow doesn't want to tie herself down to this man, but the more she fights, the harder she falls. When you do book series like this, it's hard to like every single one. Especially when you unintentionally compare the books with one another. I had a hard time liking the relationship with Dominik and Willow. Perhaps its that we didn't really get to see the beginning (you hear about it in other books) or maybe I just didn't like the way that they are together. It just didn't tickle my fancy. They didn't have that 'it' factor that separates the story from others. I did enjoy the cat and mouse game that Willow was playing with Dominik. That part was entertaining. See a man of Dominik stature get frustrated and make moves that I am sure are out of his character. But even that got old aft...

'Sinful King' by Claire Contreras is now available

The Sinful King, a new, sexy, 100% stand-alone novel by New York Times bestselling author, Claire Contreras, is LIVE! If you had any ties to Marbella, it was impossible for you not to have heard the stories about Prince Elias and his debauchery. Every summer he arrived with his security detail and friends in tow and rented out a row of cottages near the water. Cottages that belonged to my family. Each of those summers, my parents sent me away – summer camp and later, boarding school. Anything to keep me away from the royals and their partying. I hadn’t been home in years, but when I finally come back for the summer, I see that not much has changed. Like all the summers I’d been gone, Prince Elias is back, but this time with an incognito security detail and no friends. This time, there is no partying, no noise, no crowds. No reason at all to even think he was there. I’m given strict orders not to talk to him, not to even look in his direction, but he makes t...
