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.

Rosa’s rating: 5 iScream Cones!

“Our bond was forged twelve years ago, and I had once thought it was broken. It isn’t. It was only put on ice. Now, it’s been thawed and has since heated to nuclear proportions.”

If you’ve been reading Sawyer Bennett’s Wicked Horse Vegas series, then you’ve already met Kynan McGrath. If you’ve been wondering what’s been simmering in his past, you are in for a treat. You’ll be meeting her in Code Name: Genesis.

Joslyn walked away from Kynan 12 years ago, leaving her heart behind. She didn’t plan on seeing him again, but when her life is threatened by a stalker who is getting progressively more dangerous, he’s the one she trusts to protect her. She might not trust him with her heart, but she does trust him with her life.

It’s immediately obvious that the fire is still burning between them when they are reunited. I felt the heat through my Kindle, worried I might have to hold it with a potholder to finish the story. I devoured this suspenseful tale, curious to learn the details about their past that caused them to part ways and to learn the identity of the stalker.

Kynan is an alpha asshole toward Joslyn at first. He’s bitter about her leaving him without explanation and doesn’t hide his venom. At the same time, he’s still drawn to her beauty and his body betrays him by being excited to see her. “Bloody hell, but feelings have resurfaced for me and it’s a mind fuck for sure.”

Did you catch that British slang? Yup, he’s got a sexy accent to go along with the tattoos and muscles. He’s determined to keep her safe and catch her stalker. And she’s determined to keep her hands to herself, but it’s hard because, “He’s the most gorgeous man I’ve ever know in my life, and everything about him pushes my buttons.”

I can guarantee he’ll be pushing your buttons too…sigh. ❤ And wait until you meet the rest of his team. Excuse me while I fan myself. The line forms here…
