Wicked Force (The Wicked Horse Vegas #4.5)

Based on the book’s description, I was not expecting this to be Kynan’s origin story of sorts at all. Wicked Force takes us back to when Jericho and Kynan are just starting Jameson Security and making a name for themselves in Vegas.

When 26 year old Kynan takes an assignment as bodyguard to 19 year old up and coming singer Joslyn Meyers, he has absolutely no intention of falling for his client- yet that is exactly what happens. Joslyn is young, fresh and unpretentious despite her mother’s push to make her a household name. Kynan sees the human side of her that just loves to sing even as she experiences major nerves every time she walks out on stage. Trouble is brewing in the form of a Hollywood agent who seems to be a precursor to the #MeToo movement and Joslyn’s mother’s ambitions that are being made into Joslyn’s own future despite the fact it is not what she wants.

Kynan and Joslyn have obvious chemistry as you read, and the 7 year age difference really is not a factor. Kynan is devilishly hot behind closed doors and nothing but supportive of Joslyn’s choices no matter where they may take her as long as she is happy. The ending is not quite what I expected, but I think that was the theme of this book for me overall. It didn’t really follow the script of the blurb in my opinion which is not necessarily a bad thing- it was just unexpected. I have been intrigued by Kynan in the Wicked Horse Vegas series and I’ve been anxiously waiting for his time in the spotlight in a book of his own. We are now left to wait for Code Name Genesis in May of this year to find out what happens between the closing pages of this story and the time we meet him in WHV before Joslyn walks back into his life again.

**I voluntarily read an early copy of this title in exchange for an honest review**

Sawyer Bennett is one of my go to authors and it’s another great offering from her. Wicked Force is part of the Kristen Proby crossover series, but regardless if you’ve read any Proby book’s, you can still enjoy this one.

We are introduced to Kynan McGrath when he is hired by his buddy Jerico Jameson to work for his newly formed security firm The Jameson Group. His first assignment is to be the bodyguard for up and coming singer Joslyn Meyers. Joslyn’s stepmother feels that she is in danger with trajectory that her career is beginning to take and so she hires The Jameson Group to make sure she is protected.

It’s clear from the moment that Kynan and Joslyn meet that there is a connection there. With the nature of their relationship, it’s clear they shouldn’t get involved with one another, but will they give into their attraction or will their careers end up keeping them apart in the end?

It’s hard not to like both of these characters. Certainly Kynan is strong, confident and he boasts a British accent, which is never a deterrent. While Joslyn is still trying to find her footing, she’s got a good head on her shoulders and she has great instincts, not to mention her singing talents.

I really enjoyed this and I’m looking forward to Sawyer Bennett’s upcoming Jameson Force Security series as well!

Wicked Force by Sawyer Bennett was a novella in the Wicked Horse/Big Sky cross over series. It was a prequel to Bennetts Jameson Force Security series.

I had attempted to read this when it was first released but had a hard time getting past the second chapter. I realized it had nothing to do with the writing or the storyline, both were very good. But my dislike was because of the step mother. Abuse is not always physical or obvious, but she totally embodied a form of it. I was not a fan. Unfortunately she was in the majority of the scenes.

Otherwise, I liked both Kynan and Joslyn. Joslyn Meyers was an up and coming pop singer who was performing a regular schedule in Las Vegas. The Jameson Group was hired as her security detail and Kynan McGrath was assigned the lead. The attraction was immediate.

Wicked Force was a quick and enjoyable read and ended in a happy for now scenario but a slight cliff hanger. The story will continue in Code Name: Genesis.

I want to start by saying I have never read this author before. That being said the writing was good but the storyline didn’t grab me. I struggled with the lead characters and felt they had the chemistry but it was forced. I loved all the books this is a crossover from and felt left down. The ending was the worst. Had I known this book was a spin off to this authors new series and it ended with a cliffhanger, I would have waited a bit to buy. I was under the impression it was a standalone not a cliffhanger to another series!

Everything Wicked, Sawyer Bennett writes just peaks your interest more and more. With Wicked Force we meet the new men of The Jameson Group. Jerico Jameson starts the group and brings in the best of the best and that is where meet Kynan McGrath a fellow military man and the perfect guy who will protect the up and coming rising pop star Joslyn Meyers.
Joslyn Meyers is a great talent and has an amazing singing career that is on the rise, with that comes risks so when her stepmother feels she needs security she calls the best but the moment Joslyn & Kynan meet there is just something that connects them.
You cant help watch how they come together and cheer them on but will it all be for nothing or will they be able to overcome the outside pulls of their careers.
