Jenn Amy Reads: REVIEW: Code Name: Rook by Sawyer Bennett

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

SYNOPSIS

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:

4 stars!

Code Name: Rook is the 6th book in the Jameson Force Security Series, but can be read as standalone. I love this series. It is one of my all-time favorites of Sawyer Bennett’s and I cannot get enough of it. Since the end of Malik's story in Code Name: Ghost I have been dying to get my hands on this story. Cage is former Navy Seal and now a member of Jameson Force Security. The book begins back at the beginning of Code Name: Ghost and Cage is seeking a place to drown his sorrows after the emotional turmoil he goes through recovering Malik. There he meets Jamie. The chemistry and fireworks between Cage and Jaime upon first meeting was instant and their chemistry just burned off the pages. The story and plot is fast paced and I could not put it down. I adored Jaime. She has a kind heart, a strong personality and goes after what she wants. She comes from a close loving family and is a social worker and works with domestic violence victims. Cage is a former playboy that doesn’t know what to do now that he has met the girl of his dreams and the little problem that he has created for himself by deceiving her from the beginning lying to her about his career. I understood Cage’s hesitancy but I was also frustrated with him and how he handled a few things. As always in this series there is suspense and mystery to uncover and the twist and turns kept me guessing. I love the family created amongst the Jameson crew. They are a supportive bunch and I cannot get enough of these characters.
