Review: 5 stars for Code Name: Rook (Jameson Force Security #6) by Sawyer Bennett

 

Code Name: Rook
(Jameson Force Security, Book #6)
Sawyer Bennett
Release Date: October 27, 2020

Being a highly skilled operative for a company like Jameson Force Security is exhilarating and important work…until it comes time to date. I like to keep my profession under wraps for a number of reasons. Some of what we do is top secret, most of what we do is dangerous, and more than one woman has tried to latch onto me because she was more enamored with what I do than who Cage Murdock really is. And since I’m more of a ‘here for the night’ than a ‘here for forever’ kind of guy, what’s the harm in a little white lie about my job?

My harmless deceit has never failed me. Until now. Because I met the most amazing woman and did the unthinkable. I married her. And now my beautiful, unsuspecting, probably-going-to-leave-my-sorry-behind-when-she-finds-out-the-truth wife doesn’t know that I’m not a used car salesman like I told her when we met.

As it typically does with lies, the truth is about to come out in a big way when Jaime unwittingly gets herself mixed up with some unsavory characters and I, along with the team at Jameson, have to intervene. Now I need to save my girl and hope I can save my marriage too. Let’s just say I have some serious explaining to do.

What I thought about Code Name: Rook

Cage Murdock is a player -- until he meets Jaime one night in a bar and she takes him home. For a quick getaway, he tells her he's a used car salesman.  But as continue to see each other, Cage gets more wrapped up in telling her the truth at the right time, and ends up causing a whole lotta trouble for himself.  There's no right time to tell your new wife you've been lying to her.

 

These two are very cute together, and Cage falls hard for Jaime.  It's all very out of character for him, so of course he's going to make mistakes.  Good think he has Jameson Security to help him out.  Kynan gives him good advice and ends up stepping in at a critical moment.

 

I really liked this.  There was a few ways this story could go, and I hadn't anticipated what happened in that final third of the book.  The development of their relationship was fun, with Cage a bit out of his element and a bit unsettled by his feelings after being single for so long. These two are great together, there's plenty of heat and it was easy to want them to resolve their trust issues and find their HEA.

 

There's a nice dose of action in this as well, and I really liked that part of the story. Although I had an inkling something was going to happen, it was a big surprise when it did, and I loved that about this story.  And I did like that Jaime took her time decided what she wanted once the dust cleared.

 

Overall, another entertaining installment in the Jameson Force Security series. It was a quick read with plenty of heat and a nice bit of action. I devoured this in a day.

 

An ARC was provided. This is my honest review.
